I have started writing Prequels; here is a list of them:

A Second First Date; One month after Aang defeated Fire Lord Ozai Aang had decided to take Katara out on a date… It was a special banquet in honor of The Avatar. Once they were there nothing was like it should have been for a first date… Katara didn't even get to sit near Aang. It was such a failure that Aang and Katara decided it didn't count, Aang asked er out on a second first date.

Nightmares; A One-Shot Prequel to Together Again. Aang saved the world, he faced Ozai on his own. Everyone kept saying that he was a great hero, that he was so brave. He wore a brave face and acted all the hero they thought he was. But at night in his sleep he was a scared boy, scared for his life as he tried to get away from a psycho Firebender. The Battle came back at night.

Anila's Story; this is another Prequel to Together Again. It's about a Young Female Airbender just starting out in life. She was ready to travel the world as soon as she turns 16. Little does she know, Destiny has a grand purpose for her first child.

Chapter 107

Katara had awoken by the sound of her little girls chapping happily to each other. She was really looking forward to watching Kayla today. After getting her little girls ready for the day she put them in the front room with some toys as she went into the kitchen and started making breakfast for everyone.

"Good Morning Katara!" Jade said as she walked into the kitchen.

"How are you feeling today Jade?" Katara asked as she put a pot of water on for tea.

"I feel a lot better, I am so happy I didn't wake up sick." Jade said as she got fruit out to go with breakfast.

"I am happy to hear that!" Katara told her.

"Haru said something about you babysitting that little girl for today." Jade said to Katara as they prepared breakfast together.

"Yeah, I just want to help, that woman works so hard to keep her family fed and all, having to take her daughter to work with her because she can't afford childcare and there is nobody at home to watch her; so I offered to watch her for today. Gyatso is really forward to playing with Kayla today." Katara told Jade.

"I'm sorry I haven't been much help to you lately..." Jade told her best friend.

"Jade, I totally understand. Pregnancy is different for every woman, With Gyatso I threw up so often that Suki figured out what was wrong before I had. I thought I had a stomach bug that just wouldn't go away... I was to concerned about finding Aang that I couldn't think of anything else. I am so happy for you, and Jade I would be honored to be your Midwife." Katara said as she finished making breakfast.

Aang came trotting down the stairs closely following his son; they both entered the kitchen as Katara was setting the table with Jade. "Good morning, My Love." Aang said as he softly kissed his beautiful wife.

"Hi Mommy." Gyatso said.

"Ok breakfast is ready, we just need to get Kya and Sapphire, and we will be ready to eat." Katara walked into the front room to get her little girls for breakfast when there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it." Aang said as he walked passed Katara to answer the door. When he opened it Akemi and Kayla were standing in front of him. He smiled and greeted them. "Hello Akemi, hello Kayla!"

"Good Morning Avatar Aang." Akemi said with a bow.

"We have just put breakfast on the table, have you had breakfast already?" Aang asked with a kind smile.

Akemi smiled, "Thank you, Avatar Aang. Kayla had bread in milk for breakfast, and I must be at work soon. Kayla may join you for breakfast is she wishes."

"Okay, well I just want to let you know that I won't be here all day, I have to attend the World Leadership Meetings held at the palace, but Kayla will have fun here with my wife my children." He told her.

"I wanted to thank you again for being so kind to someone of my status. You have no idea how much this means to us, to my entire family." Akemi said. "I need to go now. Good bye Avatar Aang." She turned and hurried down the street to work.

"Hi Kayla! Would you like to come have breakfast with us?" Katara said as she had one twin on each hip. They all walked into the kitchen, Katara put her daughters each into their chairs then quickly set a place for Kayla.

Kayla sat down and stared at all the different kinds of fruits and sweet rolls there were. Katara lifted the lid off of a large ceramic bowl of steaming hot cereal. The litter girl's eyes went huge. "I've never seen so much food for just breakfast before!" the girl exclaimed.

"You can have anything you want." Aang smiled at the girl.

"Really? For true? Anything?" Kayla looked like the world was just handed to her.

"Yes, Kayla anything." Katara said as she prepared bowls of hot cereal for her three children.

"Can... can I have some fruit, please?" The girl asked.

"Yes you may, which kind?" Aang asked her.

"I don't know." The girl said. "I've never seen so many different kinds before!"

"I think she might really like some strawberries, they're Gyatso's favorite." Katara said as she put several large sweet berries on a plate for Kayla.

"L... Lady Katara, Do you always have breakfast like this?" The girl asked.

"Not every day." Katara answered feeling guilty because breakfast was almost like this every day.

"So you have meat sometimes?" The little girl said, in the Fire Nation meat was one of the main staples.

"Oh, that's what you meant. No we do not eat meat at all." Katara answered.

"No meat? Why?" Kayla asked.

"Because Air Nomads believe all life is sacred, so we only eat fruits and vegetables and grains, like wheat and oats and stuff like that." Aang answered her. "We do use eggs, butter, and milk though."

"No Meat." Gyatso said, happily to the little girl.

"I need to leave right after breakfast, Katara, I'm sorry I can't stay to help with the dishes." Aang said.

"Ok, I know Aang, we'll be fine. Why do you always worry about the small things?" Katara asked him with a laugh.

"Well because there will be four children here today... and you might get... Okay never mind." He was cut off by the angry look his wife was giving him.

"We will talk tonight, Avatar Aang. After the children are in bed." She told him, her voice was sweet as always but her eyes burned furiously at him, she never uses his name full title name.

Both Jade and Haru knew Aang was in trouble now too. The both looked from Aang to Katara. "I'll help with the dishes Aang; I am feeling much better now." Jade said trying to defuse the situation. "It's my job anyways, that's why I'm here."

Kayla and Gyatso played on the front room floor with all his neat toys "You have so many wonderful toys." Kayla said. "You must have lots of money!"

"No, Kayla, we don't have lots of money." Katara answered from where she was playing with her daughters.

"But this house, your food, your wonderful tea outside every day, you always give kid cookies, and the doll Gyatso gave me... People talk about how rich you must be." Kayla said, she was confused.

"Kayla, everything we have are gifts, all of Gyatso's toys are gifts from his Uncle Zuko." Katara explained.

"Zuko, like Fire Lord Zuko?" The girl asked.

"Yes, and our beautiful house was also a gift, all of our food comes from the Palace... We are not rich at all." Katara explained.

The day went on pleasantly Kayla was humbled by the fact that Avatar Aang and his wife Lady Katara were not the rich noblemen people thought them to be. That they gave of what was given to them. She was also amazed that they were such close friends with the Fire Lord. Katara had told them Gyatso's favorite stories from the adventures of Team Avatar.

Kayla had a wonderful time, and Katara sent her home with a bag of rock candy to share with her family. Dinner went pleasantly.

Aang was sitting on his pillow when Katara came into the room, she stopped in front of him waiting for him to finish meditating. When he opened his eyes Katara was standing with her arms crossed in front of her chest. "The children are all asleep now... Why do you always think I can't handle things at home?"

"Well, I... I just thought with one more than usual it might be difficult for you... I don't know why I thought that. I'm sorry Katara."

"What, do you think I can't handle four children?" She snapped at him.

"I... Well I wasn't thinking I guess. I don't know, I thought four little ones would be more stressful for you." Aang said trying to make sense of his thoughts.

"You insulted my ability to be the mother of your children! So you don't want any more children? You don't think I can handle more?" She was fuming and he didn't know what to say to calm the situation down.

He realized now that what he had said unintentionally upset her a lot. "I'm really sorry Katara I didn't mean to insult you at all. I just thought four would be more stressful right now."

"Stressful or not we better get use to four children." She said.

"I know, with Jade having a little one with her all the time..." Aang was cut off again.

"Not Jade! ME you idiot, US!" She turned and stormed off to the closet to get her pajamas then went into the bathroom slamming the door behind her.

Aang sat in shock, everything had kind of gone into a blur right about the point where she said 'ME you idiot, US!' after a few minutes he got up and tried to open the bathroom door, it was locked and he could hear the water running.

"Go away! I don't want to see you right now! You're such an idiot! Leave me alone!" She said through the door.

"Katara, I'm so sorry, My Love, please let me in." He pleaded, he had rested his head on the door, and his heart was broken by her words of not wanting to see him right now. "I'm so so so sorry. Please I want to see you."

"I didn't want to tell you by screaming it at you! GO AWAY!" She yelled.

"Ok, I'm going to go down and make some calming tea, when you are done with your bath I'll have it in here. Would you like me to bring anything else up too?" He asked her though the door.

"A couple of cookies please." Was all she said.

Aang left their room and trotted down stairs to make the tea, he was making it without using his bending abilities; he was in no hurry Katara was mad and she'd most likely be in the tub for at least half an hour. After he started the water he sat down and rested his forehead on the table "I'm such an idiot! Why do I keep doing stupid stuff?" He mumbles to himself.

"What did you do to make her so mad?" Jade had walked into the kitchen to get herself a snack. "We could hear her yelling, we couldn't hear what she was yelling just that she was yelling."

"I was concerned that having four young children to take care of would be stressful for her... She said I insulted her ability to be the mother of my children..." Aang trailed off.

"Oh... I know she has a temper but I don't know if that's worth all of her yelling." Jade said to him.

Aang lifted his head off the table to look at Jade. "I'm an idiot... and she's pregnant." He said and put his forehead back on the table. "You can't say anything to anyone; she didn't want to tell me by yelling at me. I'm just going to finish making the tea and grab a few cookies for her. I'm not really in the mood for talking right now. Goodnight Jade" He said as he stood up and got everything together on a tray then carried it up to his and his wife's room.

He set the tray on the bedside table; he rubbed his eyes with the heels of his hands then knocked on the bathroom door again. "I have the tea and cookies."

"Ok, I'll be right out." After a soak in hot water Katara was feeling better, much calmer, water always seems to have that effect on her. When she came out she had her pajamas on and was drying her hair. "I'm sorry, I yelled at you." She said as she sat down next to him on the edge of the bed.

"I'm sorry I insulted your abilities as a mother." He said in a low voice.

"Tea and cookies please." She said to him.

He poured each of them a cup then handed her the plate of cookies with her tea. "I love you." He told her.

"Are you happy?" She asked him.

"Happy?" He asked.

"Yeah, are you happy that I'm pregnant?" She smiled as she sipped her tea.

"Yes," he smiled, "VERY happy! Are you happy?"

"Well I wanted to tell you a bit differently but yes I am very happy. The morning sickness hasn't started yet but my cycle is three weeks late."

The next day started like every other, until Katara announced their wonderful news everyone was so happy.

About 2 hours after Aang left for the meetings there was a loud noise then a hard knock at the door, Katara answered it. A frightened young woman stood before her, "I hit a man with my carriage and he's not moving! Could you please help me?"

"Yes, one moment." Katara said then turned back quickly to tell Jade, who was sitting on the couch with Haru reading a book, "Jade watch the little ones for me please I should be right back." Jade nodded as Katara pulled on her pouch of water and hurried out the door. Katara ran to the man, who was lying motionless behind the back wheel of the carriage. She knelt down to check his pulse when suddenly she was grabbed from behind and thrown inside the carriage, her water pouch being ripped from her hands and tossed onto the street. The man who had been lying on the ground jumped in behind her and pinned her with his body so she was unable to move. The carriage sped off quickly.

After about 20 minutes Jade had gotten concerned that Katara hadn't come back in yet and went outside to see if everything was okay. When she walked out the only thing she found was Katara's water pouch open lying in a puddle of the water that had once been inside it.

Jade ran back inside and started yelling to her husband. "Katara is gone!" She yelled "I think something bad happened to her, her water pouch is in the middle of the street! You must go tell Aang NOW!"

Haru took off running as fast as he could to the palace; when he got there the guards let him into the meeting hall. "Katara is gone!" He yelled to everyone, "We think someone took her!"

"OH SPIRITS, NO!" Aang yelled as he ran back home, both Zuko and Sokka right behind him.

"We all need to go!" Zuko yelled as they ran out of the meeting with him.
