Suyin knocked on the ice door.
The door slowly opened.
"Yes? May I help you?" A grey haired lady greeted Suyin.
Suyin was nervous. But the paper told her that he was here.
"I'm.. looking for Sokka?"
The grey haired lady smiled.
"My brother? He's inside." She stepped to the side so Suyin could enter.
"Thank you.."
The place was cosy and decorated with many pictures in frames.
"Katara?.. who's at the door?" A voice called out.
"A nice young lady is here asking for you."
Suyin turns to the corner and spots an white haired man sitting on the couch looking through the newspapers.
He looked up and greeted her.
"Why hello young lady. You're looking for me?"
The tears streamed down Suyin's tan cheeks.
She rushes over to him and gives him a bone crushing hug.
"Um.. I didn't know I still had fan girls." He said while he patted her back.
Suyin pulled back and smiled. She wipes her eyes with her sleeves.
"I wanted to meet you for so long! I.. I'm your daughter." Suyin confessed.
"I have a w-what?" Sokka looked shocked.
"I-If you don't believe.. my mom asked someone to write this for her before she died a week ago."
Sokka carefully took the paper and reads it slowly.
Dear Suyin,
If you're reading this then I probably died. Yea whatever but I know you're still wondering who you're father is so here's what you need to know. Your father was a stupid nitwit who only cares about meat and his boomerang.. but I loved him. Believe it or not but he was my first love. He had a wife though so I never dared to get closer to him.. nevertheless tell him. One night he was drunk, I was drunk and you were born. He didn't know what happened that night so I didn't think I should tell him. He would never love me the same way I did anyways.
That's why you never grew up with a father.
And I'm so sorry.
I think he lives in the south pole right now. With his sister checking in on him everyday since he was probably to dumb to do it himself. His name is Sokka and I'm sure it'll be easy to find him.
And Su.. even though you weren't planned. My children are a blessing.. I hope you know that.
Love,
Mom.
Sokka's vision was starting to get blurry.
Sokka enveloped his daughter to a tight hug.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there in the beginning."
"It's alright! You didn't know."
The old man smiled and kissed her forehead.
"You are beautiful. Just like your mother now that I think about it."
"Whose the mother?" Katara questioned.
"Toph.." Sokka muttered.
Suyin looked up.
"How did you know? I'm sure she didn't mention her name in the letter."
He chuckled.
"I could tell just by her words. The way she showed affection amaze me."
Katara giggled.
"That's right! I remember one day when we were still kids Sokka would complain about all the bruises Toph gave him on his arms."
Suyin smiled.
"Well I better not interrupt. You two need a lot of time catching up."
Katara walked away muttering how stupid it was for Toph to keep such a secret.
Sokka looked out the window.
"Your mother was wrong though."
"What?"
"I've always loved her. I just thought she didn't feel the same."
"Don't worry Dad. Maybe she knows it now."
Sokka looked back at his daughter.
"Maybe... well come on! Lets go out. I have a lot of things to tell you about."
He stood up slowly and beckoned her to follow.
Suyin grinned and followed him.
Sure she didn't have a dad growing up.
But at least she has one now.
And boy was it fun.
