Hello, everyone! Thanks for stopping by! I recently finished watching Legend of Korra (I know I'm a little late to the game) and it was so good! I thought this would be a fun story to write so here it is :) I've tried my best, but I had a hard time writing dialogue for Toph sometimes. She's going to be a little out of character in this story since I find it unbelievable that she's always so snappy all the time. I will try to update weekly, but you know, life happens. Thank you!
Bbzzzzzzzzttt! Toph woke up in a startle from her alarm.
"Uugh!" Toph grimaced as the sun shone directly through her window and onto her face.
"More sleep…" She grunted and turned over to face the other way. It was no use. She knew that she had to wake up and go to work. She turned on her back and opened her eyes, sensing a second tiny heartbeat within her.
"Good morning." She said quietly. She placed a hand on her stomach and sighed. "Oh, mornings, my one true enemy." She said softly to herself. Toph stood up and stretched and heard her bones crackle inside of her. She then walked into the kitchen and turned on the radio.
"So make sure you get your grasshopper steak and elephant fish at Bar Fa's Butchery! And now for today's weather with Chou. Yes, thank you. Today will be cloudy with some hints of sun in the late afternoon." The radio buzzed.
"Eh." She frowned and turned off the radio. She leaned over to the phone and felt around for the numbers. She dialed and waited for someone to pick up.
"This is the Avatar. Do you need me to save your life?" Toph heard an obviously fake deep sounding voice. She chuckled a little.
"Bummi, is your mother there? "
"Aw!" He whined . "I'll got get her." He sounded a little disappointed."Hello, this is Katara."
"It's Toph, can I ask you something?" Toph could feel her heart beating faster.
"Sure, what do you need? Kya! Bummi! Breakfast!" Katara yelled.
"Well, are you going to be around this morning?"
"Yes, I'm home all day. Why?"
"I might come over." Toph hesitated. "Uh, I have to ask Aang some things. You know, official things."
"Don't you usually talk to him at Republic City Hall? He's there right now. He went in a little early this morning for something."
"Oh, oh, well guess I don't need to then."
"However you're still welcome to come over! You're welcome to our house anytime! It would be nice to see you more often." Katara mentioned.
"I just get so swamped at work. You must know." Toph spit out.
"Bummi, if I see you try to do a magic trick at the breakfast table you will be excused!" Katara said sternly on the other line.
"You seem busy Katara so I'll let you go. Talk to you soon." Toph hung up the phone and sighed.
"What should I do?" She asked out loud. Toph hadn't told anyone about her pregnancy yet. It had been her secret for the last four and a half months and it seemed to be working. No one had said anything. She didn't really want anyone to know because then they would ask so many questions that she was not up to answering. She decided she would ask Katara. After all, she had children and was such a close friend of hers. Toph went to her closet to get dressed. She put on her police uniform and had to slightly extend the metal waistband to accommodate her growing body. And she also widened the chest plate a bit. Pretty soon, she would have to get a larger uniform. She gathered her things, and headed off to Air Temple Island.
