"Are you excited to see your sister Lin?"

Lin put down her book, looking up at the Avatar. "Why would I be excited?"

"Because this time the family is coming."

"Along with a bunch of teens, Bumi and Kya." Lin picked her book up, only to quickly put it down. "Where is everyone?"

"I think Tenzin and the kids are meditating out on the deck, Mako is helping pilot the ship with Asami, Kya and Bumi are playing Pai Sho and I think I saw Bolin in Opal's room."

Lin stood up and began running in the direction of the sleeping quarters, flinging her nieces door open, to find Bolin without a shirt kissing Opal on the bed. "GET OFF MY NIECE!"

Opal pushed Bolin off her onto the floor. "Aunt Lin! We weren't doing anything!"

Asami's voice came crackling over the intercom. "We have arrived in Zaofu!"

Lin let out a growl "Bolin, put. On. A. Shirt. And get out. Opal, lets go."

"Yes Aunt Lin." She followed her aunt out the door quickly turning to face Bolin, offering him an apologetic smile.

"Hello dear, are you ready to see your sister?" Tenzin looked between Lin and Opal when he didn't get a response. "Are you two okay?"

Opal hurriedly walked away, a blush creeping onto her face. Lin followed her, keeping a small distance. "I just caught her making out with Bolin in her room."

"What's wrong with that? You and I used to make out all the time when we were their age."

Lin stopped in her tracks to face her husband, a scowl on her face. "And what did we do after making out?"

"Well, we had…" Tenzin shook his head in disbelief. "They wouldn't."

"He wasn't wearing a shirt."

They excited the airship, to be met with arms pulling them into a hug. "It's so good to see you two."

Lin returned the hug. "Yes, it's good to see you to Su."

"Let me give you all the tour." Su led them towards her second eldest son's art station. "This is Huan, my second eldest. He's an aspiring artist. Huan, can you please say hello to your cousins, aunt and uncle."

Huan whirled around. "I'm busy!"

Meelo Ran to the front of their group, pointing an accusing finger at the sculpture. "I have one of those! So does uncle Bumi and da-"

Tenzin's hand clasped around Meelo's mouth. "That's enough son." The group quickly walked off, leaving a tear stricken Huan in their wake.

"And these are my youngest son's Wing and Wei. Uh boy, what happened to your game? It's in pieces."

"Not now! Wing and I are rearranging the course to make it harder."

Su hung her head in sadness. "I remember when they were little and all they wanted was a hug."

Lin placed a hand on her sister's shoulder in comfort. "Would you like to hold him?" She motioned to the baby sleeping in her arms.

Su took the five month old into her own arms. "You may not get him back."

"I bet you'll give him back when he starts screaming"

"Whatever. If you will all follow me. I'll show you to your rooms and then we can have dinner."

"So Opal dear, how is your airbending training going?"

Opal looked up from her dinner at her father, Baatar. "It's going great dad. Uncle Tenzin is an amazing teacher and so is Jinora."

Baatar turned his attention to the airbending master on his right. "So Tenzin, how long have you and Lin been married?"

"Hold up, are you and Lin even married?" Interrupted Su, putting down her utensils.

"Yes but we had no idea we were married until the papers arrived."

Su looked at her sister confused. "What does he mean?"

Lin let out a sigh of annoyance. "Mum tricked us into signing the marriage certificate."

Su let out a giggle. "And how did that old woman manage to trick the uptight police woman we all know and love?"

"I think I was seven months pregnant with Ikki at the time and it was the hottest day on record. I was in my office, no air conditioner and I had to wear the wool uniform. So as you can imagine I was sweaty, highly uncomfortable, easily irritable and my feet were killing me. Mother said I could leave when I finished my paperwork. So I didn't read what I was signing and that's how she got me. I never heard how she got Tenzin though."

"I don't think you want to know."

"Spill it Tez."

"Fine. I was in my office when I received a call from Lin telling me that she was at home with nothing on and was ready for baby number two. I couldn't wait, so I signed the rest of my paperwork without reading them. The worst bit was that I knew Toph had a habit of slipping in the marriage documents, I should have known this would have happened eventually."

This earned a bound of laughter from all those at the table, except Ikki and Meelo, who were wondering why their mother had called their father to tell him she was naked.

Korra was the first to recover from her fit of laughter. "So Su, how did you and Baatar tie the knot?"

Su smiled at the memory. "Well in the Beifong family, it is the family head who decides if you are allowed to get married. Baatar and I asked my mother, together, if we could get married, knowing she would say yes. What we didn't know is that she would challenge Baatar to a fight."

"Toph challenged her future son in-law to a fight? But he's a non bender!"

Baatar laughed at the Avatar's reaction. "Not that kind of fight, she challenged me to a fist fight. You can imagine how embarrassed I was to be standing in front of my future mother in-law as a skinny man, with glasses and not an ounce of knowledge about how to fight."

"You won right? I mean you had to if you got to marry Su."

"Spirits no! I lost and had a broken nose and rib to prove it. She agreed to let me marry her daughter because she said I must love Su a lot to go up against the world's greatest earthbender." He placed an arm around Su's shoulder, placing a kiss to her temple. "Out of curiosity, who is next in line to be head of the Beifong family?"

"It has to be Jinora right? She is the eldest of her siblings."

Lin decided to stop the speculation before it could progress into something worse. "Not necessarily. At this point in time it is Jinora. But if Rohan turns out to be an earthbender, then he will take over. But if I have a female earthbender then she shall take over." Tenzin moved to place an arm around Lin's shoulder, only for her to catch it mid air. "I just had a baby five months ago. Touch me and die."

The sound of a clinking glass at the end of the table brought them back to reality. The adults turned their attention to Opal and Bolin, who were currently standing at their seats. "Bolin and I have something to tell you all."

"OPAL HAS AGREED TO MARRY ME!"

What happened next was something that the couple hadn't expected to occur. Su's four sons left the dining room, followed by Kya, Bumi, Asami, Korra and Lin's children.

Mako slammed his fists on the table, breaking everyone out of their stupor "Bo, don't be ridiculous! You're only seventeen!"

"So! I love her!"

Opal chose to speak up, feeling overwhelmed at the conflict unfolding before her. "Mum, dad, Aunt Lin, you guys haven't said anything."

"Well- uh- Opal dear umm-" Su stuttered, unsure of what to do let alone say.

Lin sensed her sister's distress, deciding to save her from this predicament. "What your mother is trying to say, is no."

"Aunt Lin, Bolin and I are in love and we want to spend the rest of our lives together."

Lin propped her chin in between her thumbs and index fingers, trying to think of a solution. "Alright, you can get married"

"Lin!"

"Hear me out Su. You two can get married but there are a few things you have to do first. I want Bolin to find a full time job. You two must have a house. Not an apartment, a house, fully payed off to. Opal you must finish your airbending training. This should take about three years, so that way you are both certain about your decision. Also, you can't get pregnant during this time." Lin cocked her to Su and Baatar. "Is this okay with you two?"

Su took Baatar's hand in hers, giving it a meaningful squeeze. "I think we can live with that."
