Chapter 90

Aang woke up to his daughters chatting happily with each other. He put on his robes for the day and went into Kya and Sapphire's room. "Good Morning My Beautiful Baby Girls." He said smiling at them.

They started a chorus of "Dadada"

He put them in their play pen while he went to start breakfast for his family. Katara had worked hard while The World Leadership Meetings took place while he sat and listened to all the boring people talk about many of the same things they had talked about at the first meeting they had in Ba Sing Se, so he left her to sleep in. He was in the kitchen when Katara had come up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Good Morning Sweetie."

He smiled as he turned around. "Good Morning My Love! I'm making tea right now." He had the teapot in his hand, he had just bent water into it. He pressed his hands to the outside of the pot until it started to steam, he poured a cup for each of them.

"I'm so happy you get to spend a week with us." Katara said. "... I've learned to be selfish."

"Good, you need to be!" He kissed the top of her head then checked on the sweet rice he was cooking for the family, including Jade and Haru, the younger girls always ate in the dinning hall before coming to work. All the water had been absorbed so he grabbed the pot and Katara grabbed a stack of bowls. They deposited the stuff on the table as they went to collect their children.

"Gyatso, Daddy made Sweet rice for breakfast." Katara told her Little boy as she woke him up. "Use the restroom then come eat your breakfast, Little One." Things were so much easier now that Gyatso was potty-trained.

Haru had joined them in the dinning area. They were all sitting at the table eating breakfast when Jade got there. "Good Morning Jade." Haru said then he kissed her good morning.

"Tea?" Katara asked her.

"Yes please." Jade said as she sat down next to Haru, she grabbed the last bowl and made herself a bowl of sweet rice too.

"I'm going to go find your Dad in a week, I want to spend time with my family first. Are you nervous?" Aang asked her.

"Yes... I thought he didn't care about me... His friend said he stopped sending money to care for me... She lied to me, and kept receiving the money for who knows how long... I hope he will be happy to see me." Jade looked worried.

"Jade, he misses you very much, when he talked about you he was sad that he hadn't seen you in 8 1/2 years. He didn't even know where you were... He loves you, I could tell by the way he talked about you... I think he will be very happy to see you." Aang tried to comfort her.

"Oh, I hope so... I do miss him so much, I thought he didn't care about me anymore, thank you so much Aang." Jade said as a few tears ran down her cheek.

"Thank Destiny, not me... Destiny put me on that boat, the only boat going to The Southern Water Tribe Tournament, to get back to My Love. I didn't have enough for fare but he let me work to pay my way. There was a friendship made, now I know the reason that bond was made." Aang told her.

"Aang, may I hug you, you are such a wonderful friend." She asked as a few tears fell.

Aang walked over to her and hugged her. "Jade I am happy to have you with us, you are one of my dearest friends... I am happy that we helped you find your way in life, and I am happy I can help you restore your relationship with your father."


Aang and Katara took their children out for a picnic and a little time relaxing in the cool pond at the bottom of the waterfall. Kya squealed with joy as she shook her little fists and made a tiny wave rise from the pond then return back to normal. Mommy and Daddy showed her waterbending tricks. Gyatso couldn't figure how Daddy could Waterbend but he couldn't.

"Little one," Katara said. "I want to tell you a story, Like I use to. There is 1 special person in the world called 'The Avatar', The Avatar is the one and only person who can bend all 4 elements. This special person has a very important job to do in the world; they have to keep balance, keep peace in the world. To do this The Avatar has to be able to bend all the elements... Do you understand?"

He still looked confused but nodded.

"Mommy is a Waterbender, Haru is an Earthbender, Uncle Zuko is a Firebender... What are you, Little one?"

"Air!" He replied.

"That's right! What is Daddy?" Katara asked her smart little boy.

Aang bent one element at a time as Katara explained. "Air" he made air marbles, "Water" he levitated an orb of water, "Fire" he produced a ball of fire in the palm of his hand "Earth" he levitated a nearby rock. Then he did all of them at the same time.

Gyatso still looked confused for a few minuets as he thought about what daddy could do... After a few minuets Gyatso's eyes sparkled and a huge smile spread across his face "Av'tar! Pecil!" (A/N Translation: Avatar! Special!)

"That's exactly RIGHT!" Aang said as he hugged his little boy.

"So why can Daddy Waterbend and you can't?" She asked him once again.

"Daddy Av'tar! I Air."


For the next few days Gyatso ran around saying "Daddy Av'tar, Daddy Av'tar" to EVERYONE he saw. He was so excited that his daddy was The Avatar.


"I will be back as soon as I find him." Aang told Katara and Jade as he readied Appa for the search for Jade's father. "Jade Is staying in the spare room at our house, you will have all the help you need."

"I know Sweetie." Katara said "We will be fine... You'll be fine. It should only take a few days to find him." She pulled him down as she pulled herself up, she kissed him very passionately. "Something to come home to."

"Appa, Bring him back home safely." She gave Appa a scratch on the tip of his arrow.

*RRRRRRR* He responded.

Gyatso tackle hugged Appa's face "Appa Daddy home Ok."

*RRRRRRRR* He responded to Gyatso.

Aang gave his children one last hug and kiss then hopped onto Appa's head. "Goodbye My Love, goodbye everyone." He called out. "Yip Yip" Appa lifted off.


"I'm so nervous." Jade was pacing back and forth in Aang and Katara's home, where she will be staying until Aang gets back.

Haru was sitting on the couch watching her. "It'll be fine Jade, He will be happy to see you."

"I just don't like not knowing how long it will take... He could be found as early as right now, to several days. Aang doesn't know where he would be heading right now."

"Have faith in The Avatar... I have, ever since I was a little girl, when Gran Gran told me the stories." Katara laughed. "Ok, I'm going to start lunch."

Katara went into the kitchen. "Oh! Jade can I get your help in here for a minuet, please?"

"Ok." Jade went into the kitchen. "What do you need help with?"

"I want to help your nerves, give you something else to think about. Aang wanted to know where you wanted the ceremony to take place? Unfortunately You would have to have the wedding this coming fall or the next spring, The World Leadership Meetings take place in the summers and Winters." Katara told Jade.

"Oh, uuummmmm Well, when will my dress be finished?" Jade's mind has officially been distracted.

"I just have to finish the Sheer over robe, with that sheer green you picked... It's almost done." Katara told her. "I am a fast seamstress." Katara mused.

"Wow you really are, it's only been a few weeks!" Jade was in awe.

"I said I am a fast Seamstress." Katara laughed.

"WOW... Uuummmm... Haru, can you come in here I need to talk to you." Jade called to him.

Haru walked into the kitchen, "Yes Jade?"

"Katara just told me we have to get married in the fall or spring... The World Leadership meetings take place in the summers and Winters." Jade told him.

"Oh, so when do you think we should have it?" Haru asked her.

"I thought you would like to help me decide." She said, a little sadly.

"I would marry you tomorrow if that's what you wanted." He told her than kissed her softly.

"Oh, you are so sweet." She said as her cheeks grew red. "I love you."

Katara was standing back watching the outcome of Aang and her set up. "Spring or fall?"

"Fall is The Air Nomad season... But Spring would go with my green dress... I don't know, Oh this is hard to decide." Jade said.

"Fall is beautiful, all the colors in the trees... Spring is when the flowers to come into bloom." Katara offered her help.

"Haru, I want to marry you as soon as we can... I want to be your wife. I want you to hold me close as we fall asleep, I want to have babies... I am so happy with you."

"How about Mid-to-late fall?" Haru asked her.

"But... That's only about a month and a half away?!" She was surprised.

"Katara said she needed to finish your dress... So a month, month and a half, does that sound right Katara?" Haru asked.

"Oh, I'll have it done in a few days." Katara said.

"See, Mid-Fall is perfect!" Haru said to his bride-to-be.


Aang had decided to first search what he calls Air Islands, the islands in between the Southern Water Tribe to the Southern Earth Kingdom.

Aang had been searching for 3 days when he finally found the boat he was looking for. It was heading south from Whale Tail Island, heading towards The Southern Water Tribe Port, passing by The Southern Air Temple. Perfect Timing!


Aang landed Appa in the water next to Captain Zane's boat. As Appa swam close someone rang a bell. Captain Zane came on deck. He was surprised to see Aang again.

"Avatar Aang, is there anything I can help you with?" Zane asked.

"Yeah, I'm looking for someone and I thought you might be able to help me." Aang told him.

"I will help as best as I can." Zane answered.

"I have a Young Woman working in my home, and I'm trying to find her father... Last she heard, he had been hired as a deck hand on a ship." Aang said.

"I don't know how I can help you, I haven't hired any new deck hands." Zane said "I'm sorry Avatar Aang... I wish I could be of more assistance."

"I believe you can be... She is an Air Acolyte, Non-benders that choose to live and learn as the Air Nomads do. She Joined 4 years ago. She is from Ba Sing Se and She is 21 years old... Her father left to look for work almost 10 years ago." Aang told him.

Zane had a look of shock in his eyes... "J..."

"Yes Jade." Aang interrupted. "She is my wife's best friend. You are headed past the Southern Air Temple, She want's to see you I could take you on Appa and you could have your ship anchored off shore from the Island for you. Or you could stop and take our Air Balloon up... Appa is much faster though." Aang told him.

"Let me talk to my first mate and pack a bag... Is there any way we could let The Southern Water Tribe know I will be running behind?"

"Yeah, I'll send a message to my Father-in-Law Chief Hakoda." Aang told him.

Zane laughed, "I forgot Chief Hakoda is your Father-in-Law."

"Jade is close friends with Chief-in-Training Sokka and his wife Suki too... I think they will forgive you for running behind." Aang laughed.

"Ok, I'll be right back." Zane said. He ran into his quarters packed a bag, found his first mate showed him where to anchor the boat on the map then came back out. "Ok, I'm ready."

Aang could tell Zane was excited to see his daughter after missing her much, for so long. He jumped on Appa. "Ready?" Aang asked as Zane settled into Appa's saddle holding tight to the side. "Yip Yip" and up Appa went. After Appa got to a nice altitude Aang got up and hopped into the saddle. "This is my transportation." Aang told Zane. "You don't need to be afraid, I've had Appa since I was 6."

"I've never flown before." Zane said nervously.

"Yeah not many people have." Aang laughed. "My son loves flying... Oh! I want to tell you, My wife and I have 9 month old Twin Daughters. So I guess I can understand a father's love for his daughter."

"Wow, congratulations Avatar Aang!" Zane said, still clinging to the side of the saddle.

"Please call me Aang." Aang told him. "Katara taught Jade how to be a midwife, Jade delivered our twins."

"Wow, you speak so highly of Jade. I'm happy she is happy."

"She wanted me to find you, she want's to see you."
