Author's Note: Wow, I am really thankful for all the affection and the nice reviews.
The other Fire Nation captain was on board, he talked to Hakoda. Toreth hid mortified in the doorway. They seemed to buy everything Hakoda said, but just as they walked the metal bridge again she heard one of the guards tell him, that Hakoda was wrong, she heard the captain reply and hastily gripped Toph's shoulder, who hid next to her. Not caring if anybody heard her she shouted, "They know everything!". Toph gripped the ground and the metal bridge fell apart.
Immediately Katar created a wall out of water between the ships and brought them further away. Toreth saw that Aang was held back by Sokka, so he was awake.
Suddenly they heard a scream. A big serpent towered above them. The other ship shot a burning ball towards them but hit the serpent. Enraged it started to attack the other ship and they could flee.
Toreth leaned again the metal wall and took a deep breath. Katara and her father came up to her. Unison they asked, "Toreth! You alright?".
She turned to them and smiled, "Yes, I think so. I- I just want to… stand still for a moment, I feel like everything's turning round and round and round...", suddenly she fell to her side. Hakoda caught her up and looked at her worriedly. With a very stern expression he said, "I will bring you back to your cabin. You need rest."
"Only if you are going to visit me later.", she stated before she passed out in his arms. Worriedly he looked at Katara. She nodded.
In total silence they walked through the floors, Hakoda carrying the unconscious Toreth in his arms. He laid her down in her bed cautiously and then turned to Katara, "Did she . . . have anything, is she hurt?"
"I don't know,", she said angrily making her way to her father's lover, "I did not take a look on her since she awakened, and back then she was not hurt.", suddenly sorry she added, "but perhaps,..."
"Perhaps what?"
"She did not tell you yet, did she?"
"Tell me what, Katara?"
"Actually I did not want to tell you, because she should be, but it could be something with...", she trailed off, worriedly undressing Toreth's stomach.
"Katara?"
She turned to her father and looked down to the ground, "She did not tell you that she's pregnant, did she?", she asked almost silent.
"What?", he could not believe, what his daughter just said. He had thought about grandchildren and him and Toreth playing with them, but never had he thought that he should become a father again.
"Toreth is with twins, Dad.", and with more venom in her voice Katara suddenly shouted at him, tears in her eyes, "You did not think about it, right? You just slept with her without thinking that she's not as old as you, that she's young. That she might wanted something different in her life!"
"Katara, please.", he choked out.
"No, I'm not going to stop. I just began...", but she was cut off by a hand pulling on her dress from behind. Toreth watched her with pleading eyes, her other hand cringed over her stomach. She only managed to whisper, "Katara, please… you must save them, you have to, Katara, please, save them."
