Avatar The Last Airbender Fan Fiction ❯ Duty Versus Love ❯ Being a Father 101 Part 1 ( Chapter 13 )

LES: Beware; this chapter contains minor dirty-talk, which includes a line that takes the phrase `Bending innuendo' to a WHOLE new level! I swear to God, I'm a little shocked at myself for coming up with it!

 

Chapter XIII: Being a Father 101, Part 1

 

That night, the sounds of soft moans and groans emitted softly from Aang and Katara's room in their private wing of the Southern Air Temple.

It had started when Katara had started seducing Aang, which was quite the opposite of how things usually went with them. At the beginning, Katara had felt so sick with her pregnancy that she brushed off all of Aang's advances. If he did get laid, it was only after hours of everything but begging. Aang couldn't quite explain it, but in the first four months of her pregnancy, he wanted her more than he thought possible. He wanted her… all the time! But her sex-drive had dwindled down to nothing. Then, once they reached the fifth month, their sex-drives switched. Once she started showing, Aang felt awkward about having sex with her, but Katara wanted him more than ever.

Now Katara was the one begging.

Normally, he refused her, but tonight was the full moon, and no one refuses a Master Waterbender on the night of the full moon.

Aang took her from behind, which was really the only way they both felt comfortable.

He also forced himself to remain mostly alert as he made love to her, because the last thing he wanted to do was hurt her by losing control of himself.

Katara's moans slowly got louder and louder as he pushed her towards completion.

“Ah! Ah! Aang! Don't stop! Please don't stop!” She whispered harshly.

“Never.” Aang leaned over her back and whispered in her ear.

A few moments later, Katara let out a soft “Mmmm!” of satisfaction as she reached completion and Aang lightly bit her shoulder to cut off his harsh groan as he joined her in climax.

They spent a few minutes breathing harshly, recovering from their respect orgasms.

After a few moments, Aang moved from behind her and lay down next to her, but Katara didn't join him. “That's all?” She asked.

“Huh?” Aang sat up, staring at her in shock. “Three climaxes wasn't enough?”

“I don't know. Maybe it's just because I'm pregnant, but I really want you.” Katara said.

Aang sighed. “I want you too, but sleep is just as important as sex. You're pregnant, Katara. You need your rest. And so do I.” He flopped down on the sheets. “Remember, once the baby is born, neither of us will be getting any sleep.”

“We've got four more months to rest before the baby is born. I want you now, Aang.” She began to firmly stroke his manhood to coax him into a state of arousal.

“Katara-ah! This isn't such a… ah! Good idea-mmm!” Aang protested weakly, his resolve dissolving with every stroke.

“Give up, Master Avatar. You know you can't resist me either.” Katara said playfully.

“Ohhh… Katara!”

“You may be able to Bend all four elements, but remember, I'm the one who bends you!”

“Oh, yeah! Bend me, Katara!” Aang breathed. (A/N: O.o)

Katara strattled him, far too aroused at his point to remember that this position was hard on her. She deliberately lowered herself on his erection, ready to ride her Avatar one last time.

~~~~~~~~~~

One fast-paced joining later, Katara finally seemed to be sated for her appetite for Aang. She was now content to lie next to him, enjoying the feeling of his sweat-soaked skin and the sound of his harsh pants.

Several moments passed, and then Aang turned slightly towards Katara. “Katara?”

“What?”

“Sokka and I are leaving for the South Pole tomorrow.” He said.

Katara turned towards him abruptly. “What? Why?”

“Did Sokka tell you the news?”

“What news?”

“He told me this afternoon. Suki's two months pregnant.”

Katara gasped, her hands travelling to her own swollen stomach. “That's wonderful! But why does that mean you and Sokka are going to the South Pole?”

“Well, Sokka's nervous about being a father, so he's gonna go talk to your father. I'm just as nervous as he is, so I'm going too.”

“Aang, my father wouldn't exactly win the Father of the Year award.” Katara said.

“I think he did a wonderful job raising you and Sokka under the circumstances of war.” Aang said. “Besides, it's not like I could have this sort of conversation with my own father.”

“Oh… oh. I'm sorry, Aang.” Katara apologized.

“It's all right.” Aang said. “Of course I'm upset that I never had the chance to meet my parents, but you can't miss what you've never had. My father-in-law will have to do for this conversation.”

“Of course, Aang. I understand.” Katara whispered, kissing him. “How long will you be gone?”

“A week at the most.” Aang said.

Katara nodded. “Okay, Aang.” She scooted closer to his warm body and fell asleep.

Aang carefully rested his hand against her stomach just in time to feel his child move under his fingers. “I love you too, little one.” He whispered before falling asleep next to his wife.

~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, they left on Appa just before mid-day. They would have left sooner, but Aang was still drowsy from last night.

“What's up with you, Aang?” Sokka asked when Aang yawned for what seemed the hundredth time.

“Nothing. Katara kept me up all night.” Aang said, too tired to remember that he wasn't supposed to talk about his sex life with Sokka.

Surprisingly, Sokka didn't even react to that. “Lucky bastard.” Sokka said sourly. “Suki won't even let me touch her. She's making me sleep on the floor.”

“Katara started off like that. Well… she never made me sleep on the floor. But, a few weeks ago, it was like we switched sex-drives. Now I hardly ever want her, but she wants to have sex all the time.”

“I say again: lucky bastard.” Sokka grumbled, leaning against the edge of Appa's saddle. “So, how long will it take us to get to the South Pole?”

“Tomorrow night.”

“Have you even been to the South Pole in the summer?” Sokka asked.

“No. Why?”

“Then I should warn you.” Sokka said. “When it is summer in the South Pole, there is no daylight.”

“I know that.” Aang said. “Remember, when you and Katara got me out of the Iceberg, it was winter, so the sun never set.”

“Oh yeah. I thought your strangeness was a hallucination caused by Midnight Sun Madness.” Sokka said. “But still, knowing about the darkness and living in it are two different things. I've seen plenty of people go made or become depressed. If it starts to get to you, tell me right away.”

Aang stared back at Sokka. “Okay, Sokka. I'll take your word for it. I'll tell you right away if the darkness starts to get to me.”

~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, Aang, Sokka, and Appa entered the Southern Ocean and left the sun behind. Aang would have been lying if he said he wasn't disturbed by the darkness at mid-day. But he was determined to bare it. After all, the people of the Water Tribes dealt with this long night every year. He figured he should at least be able to handle a few days of darkness.

Aang was also very grateful for the Water Tribe parka that Sokka had let him borrow. Without the sun's warmth, his Avatar robes were not enough to stay the cold. Aang's Firebending suffered accordingly with the loss of the sun until he couldn't even produce his own flame. There was simply not enough heat in the air to produce fire.

So it was an understandable relief when they arrived at the Southern Water Tribe.

They were greeted by several Southern Water Tribesmen. They bowed. “Avatar Aang, Prince Sokka, we were not expecting you.”

“We know.” Sokka answered, because Aang was too busy shivering to speak. “Could you please take the Avatar's Bison to the stables? I'm going to see my father.”

“At once, sir!” The men led Appa away, while Aang followed Sokka towards the Palace.

“How are we supposed to know if your father's awake?” Aang asked. “I can't tell if it's day or night.”

“Believe it or not, this is day.” Sokka said. “I'll tell you when it's night and day so you can keep track of the passage of time.”

“Okay.”

Stepping into the Palace was an even greater relief because the torches lining the walls provided light and warmth. Aang's feeling of relief manifested itself as the torches flaring briefly. Sokka glared at Aang, as he always did when he accidently was Firebending.

“Sorry.” Aang apologized. “Sometimes it just… reacts.”

“Ah, don't worry about it. So what if you're a Firebender? You're a good Firebender.”

“A `good' Firebender? But the Fire Nation has been at peace for seven years now.” Aang pointed out.

“Good point.” Sokka conceded.

They didn't have to go all the way to the Throne Room because Chief Hakoda met them in the hallways. “Sokka, Aang, it's good to see you again.” He embraced his son, and then he turned to Aang. “I've got the good news. You really were not joking when you said I wouldn't have to wait long for grandchildren. How is Katara doing?”

“She's doing great.” Aang answered.

“I'm sorry that I haven't been able to visit. It's a lot harder to travel once I became the Chief. But I will be there at the Southern Air Temple when the time comes. How far along is she?”

“Five months.” Aang answered. “She should be having the baby at the end of Autumn.”

“An Autumn child?”

“Autumn is the Season of Air. It should increase our chances of having an Airbending child.” Aang said. “But, we have some more good news.” Aang elbowed Sokka in the side.

“Oh, um… Katara's not the only one who's pregnant.” Sokka said.

Hakoda embraced his son once again. “Congratulations, Sokka! It's about time!”

“That's what I said!” Aang commented.

“So, there must be another reason for you two to visit. Aang didn't need to be here to tell me about Suki's pregnancy.”

Aang and Sokka glanced at each other. “There is another reason.” Sokka said. “Aang and I need some advice on this whole fatherhood thing.”

“Yes.” Aang agreed. “I was only twelve when I ran away from the Air Temple. But, even if I had stayed, I doubt the monks would have ever taught me about children.”

“I see.” Hakoda said. “Shall we talk about this tomorrow? I have a lot to do today, but I'm free tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

“Thank you, Chief Hakoda.”

“Good. If you'll excuse me.” Hakoda left.
