"Okay class, tomorrow is mothers day and in light of this information, your mothers will be coming to school where you will present your stories to them. And because you have been so good today, we will have class outside." The teacher handed out her student's stories to them for completion, when she came to Lin she frowned. "Sorry Lin, it would appear I have misplaced your work."
"No you haven't. I have it right here." She patted the ground next to her.
"Lin, the assignment was to write a story."
"Not to sound rude but my mother is blind, so I didn't see the point. And she hates paper." Lin pulled out little earth characters from her pocket, continuing to fix their appearance.
"You have a point. Next time, can you please tell me if you decide to do something else."
"Yes Miss. Hado."
"Hey Lin." Said Tenzin, coming to sit next to his best friend.
"Hey Tenzin. Have you finished your story?" Asked Lin, looking up from her work.
"Sure have. I think she will really love it. I spelt every word right. What are you doing?"
"I'm creating a story in the earth."
"It's because her mum is blind. She can't even see how ugly her daughter is." Lin looked over to where the voice was coming from. She found Maya walking towards her, a smirk on her face.
"Go away Maya!" Lin threatened.
"It's true. Not my fault she's blind and couldn't see how ugly your dad was." Maya gave a cackle.
Lin let out a growl. Tenzin seeing Lin's hand flex at the earth, quickly stepped in between the two enemies. "Maya, please go away." He pleaded.
"Whatever." Maya turned away but tripped, face planting in a pile of sand.
"Lin! Why did you do that?!" Tenzin looked at her incredulously.
"I didn't!"
"Hello you two." Toph walked up to them, a sly smirk on her face. "Good thing I was here, or that kid could have been seriously hurt, huh?" She walked to help Maya up. "You okay kid?"
Maya looked up. Fear written across her face. "Uh- umm- yea-yeah. Thanks." Toph's pale green eyes focused to the side of Maya, making her feel uneasy.
"That's good. You know, bad things happen to bad people. You're not a bad person are you?"
"Uh- no Chief Beifong."
"Good. I hope you stay that way." Toph walked back to Lin and Tenzin. She allowed herself to fall flat on her back, causing the earth to shake a little and kids to look in her direction. "You know Twinkle Toes Junior, your mother can be really bossy when she wants to." She gestured to her stomach so the two kids understood. "I ran out before she could catch me, she should be here an-"
"Toph!" Katara came storming up to the trio.
"Speak of the face stealer and he shall appear. Sup Sugar Queen." She grinned at her friend.
"Don't 'sup' me. We weren't done with your check up."
"Come on. It turned less into a check up and into you just feeling the baby kick. You did the same thing when I was pregnant with badgermole over there. I swear last time I was pregnant, I spent an hour on that table, with you just hovering over my stomach feeling her move."
Katara thought this over for a second. She conceded in what Toph had said. "Sorry."
"Master Katara, Chief Beifong, how nice of you to join in on the mothers day celebration." Miss. Hado said, bowing in respect. They gave a nod in return. "Tenzin, Lin, why don't you show you mothers your stories"
The teacher left, allowing Toph questioned her daughter. "Please tell me it isn't on paper."
Lin giggled at her mother's reaction. "No, I decided to create a story using the earth."
"Come here badgermole." Toph gestured to her lap, only to find Lin hesitating. "What's wrong?"
"Well," Lin nervously started, "you're pregnant and there isn't enough room for me anymore"
"Are you calling me fat?" She was met with silence. "You know what, when you become pregnant, I'm going to call you fatty and see how you like being called fat."
"Yeah, right."
"Don't challenge me. So what is this story about?"
Lin smiled and began earthbending the figures, creating the scenery in the ground. "It's the story of how the greatest earthbender came to light. She was born blind and her parents didn't understand that their daughter really loved earthbending. So one day she ran away into a cave, where she found two badgermoles. The badgermoles were also blind, so they understood each other. The badgermoles taught her how to see with her feet and how to earthbend with amazing talent. After that, each night she snuck away from her parents where she took out the worlds greatest earthbenders in the Earth Rumble. She taught the Avatar how to earthbend, invented metalbending and she helped end the hundred year war.
"After the war she helped others metalbend, helped build a city where she became Chief and gave birth to the second greatest earthbender in the world, all on her own and soon she will give birth to the third greatest earthbender in the world. The end. Did you like it?"
"I loved it." Toph gave her daughter a hug, peppering her face with kisses. "You wanna hear a story about the evil Melon Lord?"
"Toph, no!" Katara had overheard Toph and decided to put an end to it before it began.
"Kill joy." She pulled Lin close. "You see, when I was young I created the Melon Lord but your evil uncle Sokka cut his head in half. He killed your brother. So tonight, we shall get revenge. Hey Sugar Queen, we still having dinner at yours?"
"It isn't wise to call the cook names and yes we are"
"Good, we're gonna playing a game." Toph gave a knowing 'wink' in Lin's direction.
"What game?" Katara asked suspiciously.
"You will have to wait until after dinner."
"You know Katara, you make the best food." Said Sokka, letting out a sigh in content, placing his plate into the sink
"Thank you Sokka. I appreciate it. Are you going over to Toph's tomorrow? I'm sure Lin would love your help making pancakes for Toph."
"Actually, I'm staying over tonight." He gave his sister a smirk as he dried the dishes.
"Wow, it's getting serious between you two."
"Well yeah. I'm not going to let her go through this pregnancy on her own. She wouldn't let me help with Lin, no way am I staying out of this one."
"Are you okay with the child not being yours?" Katara asked, stopping in her ministrations.
"Not at all. If she hadn't gotten pregnant the second time, I may not have had a chance with her."
"You two laddies done in there?!" Toph shouted from the veranda.
"And I love how she emasculates me" Sokka deadpanned, causing Katara to giggle.
"What game are we playing Toph?" Aang queried.
"Well twenty years ago, a war broke out between the Rockmelon clan and the Watermelon clan. The evil Sokka struck down the Melon Lord with a finishing blow caused by his sword, stealing back their Lord's crown. The Melon clan has spent the last few years rebuilding their forces to steal the Rockmelon crown. All the while holding off the rockmelon clan from stealing the new Melon Lord's crown.
"So in essence we are playing capture the flag. Protect your Melon Lord's life with your own. Teams are as follows, Sokka, Aang, Kya and Bumi against me, Katara, Lin and Tenzin."
"Sounds good… wait! Did you steal my rockmelon and watermelon?!" Katara glared at Toph.
"Everyone set? When Twinkle Toes shoots a ball of fire into the air, the game begins. Go." Toph ran into the trees to find a good position to attack.
"GAME ON!" She heard Lin shout.
Toph felt for her closest opponent. She found Sokka ten meters to her left. "Gotcha." She moved towards him, only to find him suddenly gone. "Where did you go?"
Before she could react, he dropped from a tree behind her. His arms found themselves around her stomach. She let out a gasp, spinning around to face her attacker.
"Hello beautiful."
"Evil Sokka, we meet again." She leaned forward, placing a kiss on his lips. "On friendlier terms"
He let out a soft sigh. "Mm, I'm sorry for killing your son, the evil Melon Lord."
"Unfortunately, I am going to have to torture you to get the location of your flag." She moved closer to him, drawing him close to her.
"What are you going to do?" His voice hitched in his throat.
She gave him a sly smirk. "This." She swept Sokka's feet from under him. What she didn't expect was to be pulled with him. She fell to his side, wary of her five-month-old belly.
"You okay?" Sokka placed a hand on her stomach.
"Don't worry, she actually enjoyed it." She rolled onto his chest, kissing him to calm him down.
"I think this is the best torture ever." Sokka moved his strong hands to her waist. He pulled Toph's lower lip into his own teasingly.
Toph let out a moan as his tongue slipped into her mouth. They were about to continue when their hands and feet were suddenly encased in earth. She stared widely at him. "Crap. Lin! What are you doing?!"
"You're a traitor to the clan! Your son would be disappointed in you." She ran off to where she saw Aang, running toward their base, leaving Sokka and Toph alone.
"Can you get us out of this?" Asked Sokka, not minding the weight of Toph's body on his.
"Nope. The kid sentenced me to death. Though we could pass the time doing other things." She leaned in continuing their kiss.
