Chapter 45

Aang had just gotten back from getting everything set up to work from home, it was almost dinner time.

"Hi, Sweetie! You're home early!" She said excitedly, she was so happy to see him."Come here, feel." She put his hands on the sides of her tummy, which was almost as big as she was right before she gave birth to Gyatso "They're kicking each other." She laughed. "I tried to show you before but you were always working."

Sure enough he could feel them kicking and moving around. It was amazing to feel, he was in awe. "I think they are going to be fighters like their mommy."

"Sweetie, do you want them to be Airbenders?" She asked as she cooked vegetable stew for their dinner.

"Airbenders, Waterbenders, Nonbenders... it doesn't really matter, they will be loved no matter what." He said.

"Mommy up!" Gyatso came walking to Katara. Katara was now to big to bend over and pick him up.

"Hi Little One! Are you hungry? Dinner is almost done." She got out 2 loafs of bread, she had just baked, still warm, and put them on the table as well as fresh butter.

"Sweetie, would you please make a pot of tea? You make it so perfectly." She asked him.

When he went into the kitchen to make the tea, he watched her maneuver around having to turn herself sideways to get close to anything. He knew she had been getting bigger and bigger, but since he hadn't been seeing her too much during the last couple months because of all his work, he hadn't realize exactly how big she had actually gotten until now.

"I... can't... reach... the teapot for you." She was fully turned to her side and stretching as far as she could reach, but still too big to lean in close enough to get the teapot off of the shelf. "Spirits help me, I've got three more months still and I'm only getting bigger!"

He put his hands gently on her shoulders, turned her to the door and walked her to the couch. "Sit down, My Love, I'll finish dinner." He felt so guilty about working all the time. She was clearly having a lot of trouble with even some of the simplest things like taking dishes off a cupboard shelf, and her slip-on shoes didn't match either. He kind of wanted to laugh. "Did you know you're wearing 2 different shoes?"

"I can't see my feet, I just feel for the shoes then slip my feet into them." She told him. Talk about a guilt trip, now he felt really bad for not being around much lately.

She had told him since she was going to be bigger than she was with Gyatso that she would need a lot of help, She wasn't exaggerating about it.

Gyatso ran to his mommy and climbed up onto the couch. He had already figured out how to use Airbending to help him climb onto things. Aang had never seen Gyatso use Airbending to climb before, he got a little smirk, proud that his son was already using Airbending to do things.

Katara picked him up and sat him on her huge belly. "You are getting so big Gyatso."

His vocabulary was also growing very fast. "Babies out"

"It's too soon for the babies to come out." Katara explained to him.

"My Mommy!" Gyatso said. Aang came up behind him and lifted Gyatso on to his shoulders.

"You know you're going to have to help the beached whale get back up, right?" She told him.

"You're not a beached whale."

"I feel like one... I'm only getting bigger. My girls are already having trouble helping me back up. If I roll onto my back when I sleep it takes both Rose AND Blossom to help me get out of bed."

"When are you going to be coming back home at reasonable time, Sweetie? It's getting harder for me to do anything." (Hormone alert) she started to cry.

"You are almost in your third trimester now, I know things are getting harder for you. I have already told everyone that I will be doing most of my work from my office here at home. You need me now more than ever."

"This is how far I was when I told my dad I was pregnant, not this huge, though... I love you, thank you for coming back to me... She is really pretty."

"Huh? Who?" Aang said confused.

"Song, she is pretty."

He turned to look at her. "Why do you say that?"

"I could tell by the way she look at you when we went there. It's not your fault. Thank you for coming back to me."

"As soon as she told me who I was and who you were... she said I called your name every night in my sleep... I remembered everything and worked my way back to you, My Love." He helped her stand up "YOU! You are who I want to be with... ever since I woke up in your arms."

"Aaaaahhhhhhh they are fighting again!"

"Gyatso feel the babies." Katara now had 6 hands on her belly.

"Babies out!" Gyatso demanded.

"They are not ready to come out." Aang told him.

"My Mommy. Babies out!" Gyatso blasted air across Katara's tummy.

Katara started laughing so hard she had sat down so she wouldn't fall over, she could barely breathe. She snorted once and laughed so hard she almost peed herself.

"We don't Airbend to be mean!" Aang told Gyatso. "Your siblings are in there."

Aang helped Katara up again. "OK, dinner is done I'll grab the bowls." Katara said "...OK you can get the bowls I can't reach them."

They had dinner together laughing and joking. By the time dinner was over there was only half a loaf of bread and a few scoops of stew left. Which she would probably eat in a couple hours.

After she hummed Gyatso to sleep (he no longer nursed) she waddled her way into their room. She pulled her dress off over her head then pulled her night gown on. Aang watched her change clothes from his pillow on the floor. Her belly was HUGE! She had sat down at her mirror table, he watched her as she brushed her long beautiful hair.

"I think a little girl that looks like her mommy would be wonderful." He had startled her again.

"Why do you do that?! Give me a heart attack!"

"I'm sorry, I was just thinking... You asked me what I wanted... a little girl or two that looks like Mommy." He smiled. "Sapphire blue eyes curly brown hair and your beautiful complexion."

"You sure are a sweet-talker." She said with a smile.

He helped her stand up. He knelt in front of her and put his ear to her belly. He smiled as he listened. He could hear their hearts beating fast and strong. He took his ear off and planted a kiss on her belly "I love you both" he said to his babies growing inside his beautiful wife. Then he stood up and kissed Katara "I love you."

"I'm so happy you will be home more now." Katara said setting herself into bed. "I don't fit in our house anymore! In another month you're going to have to put me into a cave with Appa." Katara whimpered.

"I think you have been stuck inside for too long, let's go for a walk tomorrow morning, go to the dining hall for breakfast, you won't have to cook." Aang lovingly told her.

"Okay, but only because I can't fit in our kitchen anymore." Katara agreed.

She scooted down and rolled onto her side with a pillow under her tummy. She now took up more than half their bed. "Good thing you're slender or you wouldn't fit in bed with me."

"Stop, please. Yes you are big but that's because you are doing something amazing... you are creating life... 2 lives... I may be the most powerful man in the world, but I can't create life. You are creating life for me... you have already done it once. This time I'm here to help you, This Time is Different. I promise I will never leave again."

"I love you." She said.

Before he knew it she started to snore softly. He pressed his hand aginst her belly and felt his babies kicking at his hand. He still slept every night with his hand protectively on her beautifully growing belly. She was always asleep when he came to bed but he ALWAYS slept whit his hand covering her belly, as if to ward off any harm that may come to the 3 of them. (3, Katara and the twin's growing within her.)

Katara woke up lying on her back, she tried to roll over, "Oh no I'm stuck again. HELP HELP!" she called out. "HELP ME! I feel like I'm a lion turtle stuck on its back!"

Aang came walking in and saw her trying to roll back and forth. He laughed as soon as he saw her.

"Help please."

He kept laughing... "You look like one right now."

"Like one what?"

"A lion turtle stuck on its back"

"Please help me, they're crushing my bladder."

"OK, let's get you up and dressed." He helped her up, after she used the restroom he got one of her red and orange maternity dresses and helped her dress.

"I can't see my feet. Please help me put my shoes on."

Gyatso came walking into their room. "Mommy up! Eat!"

"I told him after you got up we were going to go eat." Aang told her.

Katara waddled down to the dining hall with her little family. This was the first time in a month that she has been out.

People froze in shock at her size.

"They're all staring at me." She frowned.

"Don't worry about them." He gave a stern look at them as they stared and they immediately stopped staring at Katara.

They got to the dining hall and Aang sat her down at a table, as soon as the kitchen workers saw them come in they started bringing trays upon trays of a bit of everything.

Xing Ying came in and saw Aang and Katara and came over to greet them. "Lady Katara it has been... ummm it has been a while since we've seen you out and about." She said as she hugged Katara. "You truly have been touched by the spirits!"

Katara laughed "It's okay you can say it... I'm as big as Appa. And I still have 3 months to go!"

"What brings you down to the dining hall?" Xing Ying asked.

"I don't fit in my kitchen anymore, and I can't reach stuff on the shelves. Aang said we should eat here so I don't have to cook."

"The kitchen is always open... there are breads and stuff in the big cupboard if you need a midnight snack." Xing Ying told. "Lady Katara, my I feel your... your... ummm."

"My belly? Yes, I'll show you where they are." Katara smiled.

Katara took Xing Ying's hands. "Right here is the back and tushy of A" she guided her hands again "and here is the back and head of B" Katara said smiling. "Oh" she guided her hands once more, "they like to fight, feel. A, always starts the fights and B is always moving around." Xing Ying smiled as the tiny feet kicked her hand.

"That is the most amazing thing I have ever felt, Lady Katara you truly are a blessed woman."

Aang was in awe also at what Katara had just done, she shared an amazing moment with someone.

"What?" Katara asked at his smile.

"You shared an amazing thing with her. To feel the babies backs and heads and the way they always kick at each other."

"She wanted to feel." Katara smiled. She turned back to the table and started to eat. Her 3 plates a meal, had recently gone up to closer to 5 now. "I need to get more seal jerky I'm almost out."

"What do you want to do today, My Love?"

"Do you have any work or can you stay with us?" Katara had gotten a great idea.

"I can have today with you." He told her.

"Can we go to The Southern Water Tribe Village? It only takes a couple of hours to get there, please." He couldn't resist her anime eyes and pouty face.

"OK, we will go see The Southern Water Tribe." He gave in.

"Gyatso we are going to go see Papa today!"

"Papa Papa" Gyatso yelled.

"Let me find Xing Ying and let her know we will be going to visit your family for the day... or should we make it two days?" He gave her his most handsome smile.

'Spirits that cute little boy turned out down right dreamy' she thought to herself. "Two days would be perfectly perfect, Sweetie!"

"Do you want to stay in here to get supplies while I find her as fast as I can?"

"As fast as you can figuratively or literally?" She asked with a playful smile.

"I can rattle a few Air Acolytes, doing it Literally." He had a mischievous look in his eyes.

"I'll count down to 0 then I'll count how long you take." Katara said.

"READY?" Katara said loudly enough for everyone in the dining hall to turned their heads.

"READY!" they had everyone's attention now.

"3... 2...1...0" she said louder. There was a wind storm in the dining hall.

People where trying to figure out what just happened. Katara was laughing very loudly, counting "8... 9... 10..."

Gyatso was laughing hard too. "Daddy Daddy!" He yelled

The Air Acolytes in the dining hall were just starting to figure out what had happened. With Katara laughing and counting out loud and Gyatso saying 'daddy daddy'.

"59...60..." there was another huge gust of wind and The Avatar was once again standing in the dining hall.

"That was fun!" He said. "There were like 30 Air Acolytes I blasted past."

"So she knows she is in charge for 2 days?" Katara asked.

"Yeah, she is still in awe over feeling the babies. She said things should be fine for a couple of days." Aang told his beautiful wife.

"Great, let's get some baskets of food to take with us. We need to grab our warm clothes and start loading up Appa." Katara said happily.

"Appa Appa!"

"We still have our house there, don't forget. So we don't have to worry about dishes and bedding." Katara finished.

Appa was all loaded up and ready to go. Katara started to climb up. Aang swooped her up and hopped into the saddle. Blossom handed Gyatso up to Aang.

"Goodbye Avatar Aang and Lady Katara, we will see you in a couple of days." The Air Acolytes called to them as they flew off.

"It's going to be great to see the family again. Suki and I can compare bellies." Katara laughed.

"You will win... My Love." He laughed.

"So what did people think of you blasting past them?" Katara asked.

"I don't think they had any clue what happened." He laughed.

"In the dining hall when they figured out what had happened you were already back."

"How far did you have to go to find Xing Ying?"

"Oh she was teachings some of the newest Air Acolytes some Airbending-like forms. It's funny they all looked at me like I'm..."

"The Avatar?" Katara laughed. "No, according to Sokka, you're the weird kid with the huge crush on his sister." She laughed.

"I am that too." He smiled at his wife.

"I'm going to take a nap with Gyatso." Katara said with a yawn.

She had brought a few pillows with her so that she would be comfortable... One of which was Aang's huge fluffy soft floor meditating pillow, to sit on... Her back bothered her when she had to sit on something hard for too long.
