Chapter 74

Katara woke up to Aang calling her, "Time to get up, My Love, the Acolytes will be here soon."

"What time is it?" she asked as she nuzzled back into her pillow for just a few more minutes.

"It's almost 9, I tried to wake you an hour ago but you were to tired to even respond." He laughed.

"I don't want to get up, I feel soo good still." She gave him a wicked little smile.

"You can't be running around in your pajamas while the Acolyte crew is here, you'll embarrass them."

"Oh, fine we don't need blushing Acolytes... Like we haven't had many of those." She said sarcastically.

She got out of bed and chose a dress for the day as Aang went into the front room to make her tea and a bowl of sweet rice he had cooked for her. She came out of their room 5 minuets later, she was about halfway down her long hair braiding it.

"When do we go collect our children and all their stuff?" She asked him.

"Eat and then we will go get them. I made you tea too." He told her.

"Thank you Sweetie. I love you." She told him followed by a soft kiss. She finished braiding her hair then sat down and he pushed her chair in for her.

There was a knock on the door, Aang went to answer it. "Good Morning Avatar Aang." A male Acolyte said.

"We will be getting back to work in about an hour, Lady Katara and I need to pick up our children and put them where the dust wont make my tiny Airbenders fly off." Aang told him.

The Acolyte gave a small chuckle.

"No seriously, If they sneeze they will shoot into the air if you aren't holding onto them tightly... Right after Lady Katara found me I sneezed and I went up over 10 feet in the air... And I could somewhat control where I went, Gyatso and Sapphire are to young to even try." Aang told them.

"Ok Sweetie, I'm ready to go get the little ones." Katara told him. "Good Morning Acolytes." She said to the group of 16-18 year old Boys.

"Good Morning Lady Katara." They said then more than half of them blushed.

"We will be right back, you may wait here while we get our children." Aang told them.

"See, they blushed and all I did was say Good Morning." Katara told him as they got to the Earth King's apartment. Katara knocked twice then walked in "Good Morning everyone!" Katara said as they entered.

"Good Morning Lady Katara, Avatar Aang. I hope you had a good anniversary." Jade said.

"It was lovely." Katara said with a smile. "You guys all ready to come back to our home? The group helping Aang and Haru is already over there waiting on us to come back."

"Yeah, everything is all packed up and sitting next to the door." Haru said.

"I want to thank you both for watching our babies for the day. Remember, we will babysit on your anniversary." Aang joked.

"Aang, stop saying that you made them red." Katara playfully scolded him.

The 4 younger girls started moving stuff across the way to Aang and Katara's home.

"Gyatso, Mommy is here." Katara called out.

"MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY!" He squilled as he came running out of the room attacking her legs. Katara picked him up and hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek.

"I love you, little one. Did you have a fun time playing sleepover?" She asked her baby boy.

"Fun!" He told her.

They all walked back to their home, arms all loaded down with their stuff. Once everything was brought over Jade and Katara went into Katara's bedroom with the three babies, The 4 younger girls were sent down to the kitchen to get a list of things Katara needed to cook lunch and dinner.

"Katara, you are my best friend, I thought the girls in the club had been my best friends, but you have been so great, I love spending time with you." Jade said.

"Aang is the only best friend I ever had. I had Suki back home, but she was a sister to me. To be totally honest Toph and I... Well she was a friend but NOT a close friend. It is fun hanging out with you." Katara told Jade.

"I've had something sitting on my heart. I need to tell you, the guilt is making me sick." Jade couldn't make eye contact with Katara.

"Jade, just tell me, I forgive quickly." Katara tried to help her friend feel better.

"I'm sorry I didn't know you like I do now, I knew who you were but I didn't know YOU... When you and Aang first got here after you got married, I... Well I didn't like you, I was one of those girls who give you the dirty looks like the girls all over the world."

Katara laughed, "Almost every girl in the world hated me, they were jealous that Aang married me. That The Avatar chose 'a snow savage."

"That's not all, I have a secret that makes me feel sick to my stomach now that I know you and love you... I was one of those girls that..." Jade took a shaky breath, "I thought that Gyatso wasn't Aang's son. I feel horrible thinking that of you."

Katara laughed again, which shocked the hell out of Jade. "I harbor no bad feelings about anyone that thought that... If I held it against one I would have to hold it against all..."

"But you said it hurt you!" Jade was confused.

"Yes, I did hurt, but not as bad as when Aang thought it, before he say Gyatso Airbend... But I understand what you all must think, I thought he was dead, The world thought he was dead. We searched and searched for him, I wouldn't let them stop... but it had been 8 weeks and everyone wanted to go home. The day of the explosion was my first day of my morning sickness, it was also Aang's 18th birthday, I thought I had a stomach bug and Aang promised to nurse me back to health as soon as Zhou was dealt with... Then the explosion went off and I died inside. I was so distressed that I hadn't even realized I had missed my cycle. Not until Sukie asked me about it... She had noticed me throwing up every day. She took care of me, I just wanted to die, I couldn't go on without him, Suki told me I had to, for the baby growing inside me. For the gift he had given to me, to show how much he loved me, I love my son so much, he looks exactly like his daddy."

"Aang thought..." Jade was shocked.

"Yes he did."

"You once asked me why we had not met here sooner, it was because I was ashamed and I avoided you. Thank you so much for forgiving me... And thank you for telling me what happened... After I got to know you, I knew you would never be unfaithful to Aang, not even in death." Jade hugged her best friend and wiped a tear away, she hadn't ever thought about what Aang's disappearance had done to Katara.

"So you really forgive me?" Jade asked.

"Yes Jade, I forgive you... You know what, after the renovations on my home are done, I'm going to set up something special for just you and I. Aang and Haru can watch the babies while we do something. It might just be a picnic but we girls work hard too and need a girls day."

"I have never had a friend better than you." Jade told her.

"It's funny how those you first hate can become your best friend later... I hated everyone of you, fawning over my boyfriend, back in your clubhouse, especially with what Won-Yee said to me, it was like all you wanted to take him from me... And you hated me when Aang announced that we were married and when you all had seen Gyatso... You know how Aang's relationship with his best friend Fire Lord Zuko started." Katara laughed.

"I just love Gyatso, he is so cute and happy all the time, it's fun to watch him Airbend, he does so well for as young as he is." Jade said.

"Yeah, he figured it out early, and picks up on stuff by watching daddy." Katara mused. "He's one smart little boy... he amazes me."

"I'd like to see anyone question his parentage now!" Jade laughed. "And he looks just like Aang."

There was a knock on the bedroom door than Aang came in. "Only a few things left and we are done expanding our home." He said to the ladies.

"Does that include moving all the stuff in your office to the new office?" Katara asked him.

"No, but I can do most of that myself... I'd just need Haru to help move the desk and shelves."

"Aang The twins are 3 months old now, It's time to put them into their own room. I put Gyatso into his own room at 3 months old."

"What if they wake up in the middle of the night?" Aang asked her.

"You have to had heard how loud they cry now! I will be able to hear them just fine, sweetie. Don't worry about it." She soothed him. "That's why their room is next to ours, so I can hear them through the wall."

"But... I don't know they just seem so small still."

"Small or not they can scream pretty loud now... Sapphire has the lungs of an Airbender, I can hear them."

"Are you sure?" He looked a little panicked.

"Do you want them to stay in here a few days more, sweetie?" She smiled, he was just adorable, he didn't want his daughters to be moved out of his room yet. "When we do move them, you can check on them all you want, Ok?"

"Ok, could we keep them in here until they are only waking up once a night and not 3 times, please?" He asked her.

"Ok, once a night OR until you want to move them, whichever comes first, deal?" She asked him.

"Ok, deal" He agreed. He couldn't see himself wanting them out any sooner than them waking up only once a night.

After he left Jade laughed. "They can scream pretty loud, but it's cute that he doesn't want them out of your room yet."

"He loves being a daddy! Did you know that Airbenders didn't have traditional families... I don't know why, I don't even understand why, all the boys were sent to either The Northern or Southern Air Temples to be raised and trained by the Monks, All the girl's were either sent to The Eastern or Western Air Temples to be raised and trained by nuns... I could never send my children to be raised by someone else... So having a real family to him is the best thing in the world."

"Katara, The furniture and decorations for the apartments have arrived." Aang told her as he came back from a project status check.

"Great, Now I can get those up and the final touches on the apartments will be completed!" Katara was happy that everything was just about finished. "How are the projects coming along for the World Leadership Meetings?"

"They are nearly done, Haru has been awesome, he is a great earthbender, he has a great eye for detail."

"I love the carvings on the walls of the Monk Gyatso Memorial Meeting Hall, they are beautiful, and the stone table is breathtaking." Katara said. "Aang? Where would they live if they got married? They can't stay in the dorms. The apartments next to us are needed for the world leaders. Those rooms where we first stayed would be ok, except they have no kitchens or visiting areas." Katara worried about her friend.

"I can combine a few of them together, like I did ours. We have spare kitchen parts from combining ours with the next door apartment." Aang told her.

"I hadn't thought of that!" She smiled feeling better about her best friend's needs.

Tomorrow morning I'll put up the decorations in the other apartments. When we are finished I promised Jade a girl's day out, You and Haru will be watching the babies so that us hard working ladies can have a nice picnic, talk about what's going on with her and Haru, I'll fill you in before we go to bed." Katara told him. "Jade and Haru are lucky, they have our knowledge of what NOT to do." She laughed. "They have our 8 years of experiences to help them know what's going on."

"When I talked to him the day after their first kiss, he asked me a bunch of questions. He was confused by quite a bit, about kissing and all... He was totally shocked when I told him to wait till the tongue comes into play." Aang laughed about his friends reaction.

"I like when the tongue comes into play." She told her husband.

"Me too!" He responded than pulled her to himself and kissed her deeply and passionately.
