Toph opened the front door to her home totally drenched from head to toe. As soon as she crossed the threshold she bent her uniform off. "Mum! You're home!"

"You don't say." Toph knew it wasn't fair to use sarcasm on her six year old daughter but she had a terrible day. Still, she knelt down and held her arms open, beckoning Lin into them. Lin held her mother as tightly as her little arms allowed. "How was school, badgermole?"

"It was great. I learnt how to add numbers higher than ten. I got an A plus. I was the only one in my class who did it perfectly."

"That's my girl. Now why don't you set up the fire and I'll be with you in a moment to light it."

"Okay!"

"Spirits I love that kid." Toph walked into the kitchen to find Sokka at the helm of the stove. "Hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin?"

"You must have had a terrible day if you are rhyming and calling me good looking."

Toph wrapped her arms around his torso from behind, burying her face into his back. "Ah! You're wet!"

Toph ignored him, not caring about his personal comfort. "You have no idea. Winter rain and officers don't go well together. The rookies didn't want to preform simple tasks because, and I quote, 'it's too cold for criminals to be out.' Totally ridiculous. A bunch of lily livers. So what are you making?"

"Gooseduck soup. I thought we could eat by the fire."

"Sounds fantastic. I'm going to go check on Su."

"She's still in her crib."

"Thanks meathead." Toph trudged down the hall, wiping water off her body as she went. When she opened the door, she heard little gurgling noises coming from the one year old. She picked her up and instantly began cooing at her. "Did my kid have a good sleep? I bet you did. Unlike me. I had to put up with Sokka's cold feet constantly trying to steal warmth from mine." She carried Su into the living room where Lin had finished setting the wood, now waiting for it to be lit. "Lin, can you hold Su while is start the fire?"

"Sure." Toph handed Su to her older sister. "She's gotten t really big."

"Sure has badgermole." With a few movements of her hands, the spark rocks ignited the wood in the fireplace. "How does it look Lin?"

"It looks great. A few more minutes and it will be really big."

"Sweet. I'm going to get dressed in my pyjamas and dry off. Are you in your pyjamas?"

"Yup. I'm wearing the ones you got me a few weeks ago. The ones with the badgermoles."

"I'll be back. Stay away from the fire."

Toph returned to find Sokka had just finished making dinner and had handed Lin her bowl, and was about to dig into his own. "You could have waited for me."

"You're talking to meat and sarcasm guy over here. When food is involved, there is no waiting. And you're wearing the new silk robe I bought you."

Toph plopped down next to him, accepting the bowl of soup he handed her. "Thanks. And this robe might be the greatest thing you have ever bought me. It's very soft and smooth."

"I'm glad you like it. You told me once that you liked soft and smooth items and I knew that you needed a new robe, so I put two and two together."

"Hey mum," Lin's voice distracted the two adults from their conversation. "Can we roast marshmallows after we finish our soup?"

"Sounds good." Toph put down her bowl and then took to feeding Su her mashed potato. "Hey Sokka, isn't it weird that Su hasn't started walking yet? I mean, Lin was Ten months old when she started, so shouldn't Su be the same?"

"Relax Toph. She's a very… chilled baby. She probably can't be bothered walking."

"Mum, I'm done eating, can I get the marshmallows now?"

"Okay, but take our bowls with you."

Toph waited until Lin was out of earshot, before leaning into Sokka's side. "I'm not wearing anything under this robe. If you convince Lin to go to bed early, we could have some fun before I am too tired."

Sokka sucked in a sharp breath. "Hey Lin! Hurry up."

"I have them." Said Lin, skipping into the lounge room, skewers in one hand, and bag of marshmallows in the other. Just as she was about to skewer one of the soft balls of sugar, Sokka stopped her.

"Hey Lin, I have a better idea. And the best part is, they wont get burnt." Lin had a bad habit of burning the treats, so any prevention on Sokka's part was welcomed. He pulled her onto his lap and then pulled out his sword from its sheath that lay next to him. He then put marshmallows on the blade. "They should cook evenly which means crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside." She watched in awe as he put the blade into the fire. "Would you like to help me?"

She wordlessly put her hands over his, as he let his hands relax slightly so she felt as though she had control. After a minute, they were ready. They pulled the blade out of the fire carefully. "They look amazing. Can I have one?" Sokka gave her a nod. She popped one of them in her mouth, enjoying the heat that came with it. "This tastes awesome. Mum you have to try this."

"Thanks but I'm fine. I'm going to put Su in her crib and then I'm going to bed. Don't stay up too long."

Lin and Sokka finished the marshmallows in a few minutes. "Alright Lin, off to bed."

Lin failed to hide the yawn in her voice as her eyes began to droop. "Do I have to?"

"Yes you do."

"Carry me?" Sokka smiled. He always hoped that she'd remain the same size so he could put her to sleep every night. He picked her up into his strong arms and carried her to her room. When he placed her under the covers, she was snoring lightly. He smiled, thankful he didn't have to tell her a bedtime story.

He practically sprinted to his bedroom, eager to kick the night's festivities into action. When he opened the door he found Toph sprawled out on the bed snoring. Sokka couldn't help but smile. He always thought she looked adorable when she slept. Sokka got into bed after he took his shirt and pants off, along with his hair tie, allowing his hair to flow freely. He smiled again as she rolled over and wrapped her arms around him. "I love you Toph."
