"Oh, uh yeah, our bad." Aang blushes and rubs the back of his neck.
"Sorry." Katara follows up with a nervous smile.
"It's all right.— The interviewer smiles at the young couple. And they smile back. She is reminded of her own childhood romances.
— So this next question—WOAH."
"What's wrong?" Katara questions.
"This question that they put on here- It's like this question's for the future you guys."
"I'm sure it isn't that bad." Aang says optimisticly.
"Yeah, we could just answer now." Katara responds.
"Might as well."
"No, it's not bad. It's just- Okay. You guys ready?" The interviewer questions.
"Are you ready?" Aang asks his girlfriend.
"I'm ready." Katara comfortably states.
"Okay."
Aang squeezes Kataras hand that's intertwined with his, resulting in a small smile and blush on Katara's face.
"We're ready." Aang enthusiastically tells the interviewer.
"Alriiight. The question iiiss…do you guys plan on having children?"
"Oh!-" Katara's fingers instinctively come up to her mouth, though not quite covering it.
"Oh wow." Aang's eyebrows raise and his eyes widen in shock.
"I was not expecting that." Katara states with surprise in her eyes.
"It's like the questions get more unexpected as we go." Aang again rubs the back of his neck in nervousness.
"I know right?"
"Yeah." Aang chuckles.
It's silent for a moment until Aang speaks up.
"Soo, um, do you want kids?"
Katara smiles and nods.
"Do you?"
"Yeahh." Aang grins.
"I knew it."
"I kinda guessed you would say yes too."
"How?"
"Because every time you get around kids, it's like you have a soft spot for them."
"That's what I was thinking about youu!" Katara responds, lightly hitting Aang's shoulder.
Aang giggles.
"So how many kids do you want?" Katara excitedly asks.
"Well at first I wanted 4, two girls and 2 boys, but-"
"Me too!"
"Really?" Aang has a shocked smile on his face.
"Mhm!" Katara nods.
Aang kinda stares at Katara with an open smile for a second.
"What?" Katara asks with a chuckle.
"Nothing, I'm just- I just didn't expect that."
"Ohh."
It's silent for another moment until they giggle at their awkward silence.
"I'm sorry, what were you gonna say, before I cut you off?" Katara asks.
"Oh yeah. But that might be a lot for us, considering Appa and Momo." Aang bends over and puts his free fingers on his chin with a thinking face.
Katara took notice of Aang's wording and drifted in her thoughts about it. 'For us.' It filled her with butterflies to think that Aang was thinking about.. their future. She'd only imagined these things and then pushed them to the back of her brain. So to have this talk with Aang so openly was definitely… something for the love-struck teen.
"But, uh, what do you think?" Aang sits back up and questions Katara.
"Oh, um- I think 3 is fine."
"Ya think so?"
"Yeah."
"Okay."
Aang dreamily smiles at Katara. He then proceeds to quickly peck her cheek and lay his head on her shoulder.
Katara's breath hitches.
"Does the.. gender matter to you much?" The girl asks as she brings her fingers up to stroke the back of her boyfriend's head.
"I just want them to be healthy. That's all." Aang states, letting go of Katara's hand he was once holding to massage her palm with his thumb.
Katara's heart rate speeds up as she smiles. "Me too."
Aang gulps and then looks up.
"You be an uh, a great mom you know."
Katara can't help but giggle once more.
"Thank you."
"No problem." Aang looks back down, his cheeks pink.
"You'd be a great dad, too. Very fun."
Aang snickers.
"You would!"
"I believe you." Aang says gently.
"I'm happy we're together now." Aang continues.
Katara smiles. "Me too."
However, she has a question.
"What made you think of that?"
"Well cause, I mean talking about stuff like this. It doesn't have to be awkward."
"Oh spirits, you're right."
"Exactly! 'Cause like, if I wanted to ask you this before, I would try to frame it in a way where it looks like I don't like you, even though I did, and maybe it would be fine 'cause maybe you liked me back and-…"
"And it's just like, get together idiots."
Aang laughs at Katara's joke and she giggles along.
"Yeah! Yeah, pretty much."
The interviewer speaks up. "Well thank the Spirits you guys have me, So I can just ask the question." She says with an eyebrow raised and a chuckle.
The couple both giggle.
Suddenly Aang lifts his head off of Katara's shoulder and stops massaging her hand, to her disappointment.
"Yeah. Thank you. Heh." Aang responds.
"Thank youu." Katara says as well.
"No problem. Speaking of questions, I think you two are ready for the next one, eh?"
Aang places his hand over Katara's.
"I am."
"Me too." The water-bender responds, sharing eyes with the boy beside her. She intertwines their fingers, bringing them to their former position. Smiling, for their hands were finally back together again.
