sorry about the ooc :/ please R&R also taking prompts
"Uncle Sokka." Lin pushed Sokka in his side, trying to wake him up. Failing in her attempt, she punched him in the ribs.
"Hmm! Huh- what? Lin?"
"Shhh." She covered his mouth with her hand. "You're gonna wake mum up."
Sokka looked down at a pregnant Toph, lying on his chest. "What time is it?"
"It's ten. You said you were going to help me make pancakes."
Sokka let out a yawn. "Okay, get everything ready and I'll be there in a second."
Hearing Lin run off into the kitchen, Toph chose to open her eyes. "That kid is the best. Making me breakfast and everything."
Sokka kissed the top of Toph's head, breathing in the scent of her sweet strawberry shampoo. "Did we wake you?"
"Nah. I couldn't really sleep last night."
"Was the baby kicking?" Sokka placed a hand on her stomach, feeling a light kick under her hand.
"Nope. I decided to invite my parents over for the barbeque today." She mumbled into his chest.
He let out a chuckle. "I thought you and your parents were on better terms." He rubbed circles on her back, eliciting a moan from her.
"We are but they weren't around when I was pregnant with Lin. I just think they're going to keep staring at me like I grew a second head."
"You'll be fine. I better go help Lin." He got out of bed, not caring about putting on a shirt. "Don't forget this is meant to be a surprise, so pretend to be asleep when we come back in."
Lin was stirring a bowl of pancake batter, using a chair to reach the kitchen bench. "Hey uncle Sokka."
"Hey kiddo, looks like you're nearly done. Need any help?" Sokka lifted Lin, placing her on the bench.
"You have to cook them. Mum doesn't like me using the stove on my own." Lin placed the bowl in Sokka's hands. "I'll tell you when to flip them so they don't burn."
Sokka gave a mock salute. "Yes Chief!" Causing Lin to giggle.
A knock sounded at the door. Jumping down from her place on the bench, Lin sent out a wave of vibrations, closing her eyes. "Grandpa and grandma are here!"
"Go let them in. I promise not to burn them."
Lin ran off towards the door, flinging it open with all her might.
"Hello Lin." Poppy Beifong bent down, placing a kiss on her granddaughter's cheek.
"Good morning Lin." Lao Beifong gave her a kiss and a hug. "Where is your mother?"
"She's sleeping. Uncle Sokka and I are making her breakfast in bed." She led them into the kitchen, where Sokka was flipping pancakes.
"How nice to know my daughter is keeping half dressed men in her kitchen." Lao Beifong said, glaring at Sokka.
Sokka let out a sigh. "Lord Beifong, Lady Beifong, how nice to see you again. Can I offer you some pancakes?"
"No thank you Sokka. Which room is Toph in?" Poppy stepped in before her husband offended her daughter's boyfriend.
"Second door on the left."
"Awww." Lin groaned in disappointment.
"Sorry kiddo. But she can still have breakfast in bed, doesn't matter if she wakes up before hand." Sokka said, cheering Lin up.
"Toph?" Poppy poked her head into her daughter's bedroom, only to find her asleep. She moved to sit on the bed, brushing the hair out of Toph's face. She let out a gasp when a hand grabbed her wrist, stoping her ministrations.
"Oh, it's just you." Toph sat up to rest against the headboard. Popping her back as she stretched with a yawn. "Is dad here?"
"It's nice to see you to Toph. And yes he is. He and Sokka are having a chat."
Toph felt a fault in her mother's heartbeat. "I know you're lying."
Poppy let out a sigh. "He isn't happy about there being a shirtless man in your kitchen. Why is he shirtless anyway?"
"Well, his shirts are itchy on my face, so I asked him to remove it. How was your trip?" Toph tried to change the subject, not wanting to talk about the real reasons behind why Sokka was shirtless.
"Just like how you can tell when I'm lying I can tell when you are lying. Toph I'm your mother and I want to have a relationship where we can talk about anything."
Toph gave up lying, deciding to tell her mother the truth. "I enjoy feeling his heartbeat. It's strong and steady… He is also really muscular" Toph felt a blush crawl onto her face.
Poppy giggled at her daughter's shyness. "Can I feel?"
"Feel what? Oh the baby? Sure."
Poppy placed a hand on Toph's stomach. After a minute she frowned. "I can't feel anything." Toph picked up her mother's hand, moving it to the other side of her belly. She felt a kick against her palm. "Wow."
Toph gave her a smile. "Happy mothers day by the way. I got you something." Reaching into her side draw, she pulled out an envelope. "Here. I hope you like it."
Poppy opened the envelope pulling out a gift certificate. "A spa day for two? I don't know if your father would like this as much as I do."
"Actually, I bought it for the both of us. I thought that you and I could have a spa day."
Poppy smiled at the kind gesture. "Thank you Toph, this means a lot." She gave Toph a hug, only to break away when Lin came in with a tray of pancakes.
"Happy mothers day! I made you pancakes." Lin placed the tray of pancakes on Toph's lap, climbing onto the bed next to her.
"Thanks badgermole." She gave Lin a kiss. "These smell great and I bet they taste even better." Toph dug in, shovelling the food into her mouth. "Are you going to have one Lin?"
"Yes!" Toph set one aside for her to eat.
"Where is Sokka?"
"Right here" Sokka walked into the room, a scowl on his face. "Katara called and said she will be here in fifteen minutes. So I'm going to have a shower."
Toph turned in the direction of Poppy. "Mum, do you mind getting Lin ready for me?"
"Sure. Come on Lin, lets go get you all cleaned up."
Toph got out of bed, walking into the en-suite. "Toph! What are you doing in here!" Sokka tried to cover himself up failing miserably."
"I'm blind dunderhead. Besides would it be so bad if I joined you?" She smirked when she felt his heart rate increase. "Too bad we don't have the time."
"You are an evil woman"
"You love me" Toph tugged on a traditional earth kingdom dress laughing when Sokka stepped out of the shower, tickling her neck with his warm breath "Sokka! You're all wet." A towel landed on his head. "Get dressed. Katara is here"
Toph opened the door to be met with screaming from Kya and Bumi. "Hello Toph."
"Sup Sugar Queen. What's with the screaming kids?" She led Katara into the kitchen as the kids and Aang ran into the backyard.
"Kya is angry that Bumi accidentally copied her gift. I didn't mind of course but that didn't stop them fighting. So when do your parents get here?"
"They arrived an hour ago. Sokka didn't make the best first impression."
"What happened?"
"My father doesn't appreciate, hot, muscular men cooking in the kitchen, as much as I do."
"Oogies" Katara laughed, enjoying the look on Toph's face. "Pay back is nice after all these years."
"Whatever. Lets go outside. I can feel my father is about to have a heart attack from all the kids running wild."
They walked outside to find the kids playing tag. Toph walked up to Lao Beifong, who was currently talking to his wife. "Hello father." She addressed him formally, keeping her back straight.
He walked up to her. Taking note of her pregnant state. "Hello dear. How are you?"
"I'm well. And you?"
"I'm well."
They stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. Toph thinking this was ridiculous broke the silence. "Would you like to feel the baby kick?"
He moved hesitantly towards her, placing a hand on her stomach. A moment passed before he felt a bump push against his hand. He smiled at the movement. "She doesn't kick as hard as you did, when your mother was pregnant with you."
"Really?"
"Mhm. I remember staying up late every night with your mother, until you would stop moving."
"I didn't know that." A tear rolled down her face. Quickly wiping it away. "Stupid hormones." She muttered.
Lao pulled her into a hug. "I want you to know, I'm really proud of you"
"Thanks dad."
