Hi everyone I just wanted to briefly tell you that this is a Zutara story that takes place ten years after Sozin's comet, making the main character's ages; Katara- 24, Zuko- 26, Aang- 22, Toph- 22, Sokka- 25, Suki-24. I will be actively adding chapters. I appreciate favorites and follower and reviews so don't hesitate to leave one. :) Enjoy!

"Aunt Katara?"

"Yes dear?"

"When is mommy going to be home?"

Katara heaved a sigh at this question, one she asked herself often as well. Katara looked down into the dark brown eyes that flickered with longing. This little child resembled her mother so much with her short black hair and the ferocity of an earth bender. "Toph should be home for the reunion in a few more months honey. Mommy is really busy with Uncle Aang rebuilding the western air temple. Don't you remember when she was called away to do the important work someone like her can only do? She's helping people who need it." Katara spoke of the most positive view on the situation with a small reassuring smile, reassurance for this young child and herself.

"That's what everyone says." She sighed back with an eye roll and a pouty lip.

"That is because it is the answer honey, go play with your cousins. Aunt Katara has some things to take care of. Okay?" Katara said and squatted down to eye level with the distressed child and put a comforting hand on her small shoulders.

"Yea, okay." The child gave a quick hug to Katara and skipped off. Katara walked to the door and shut it. Paused for a moment and walked to her bed and reached for her night stand drawers and pulled a small stack of papers. Letters from Aang. Often times when she was missing her fiancée she would reread the letters he had been sending her when he was off doing his avatar thing. It had been ten years since the overthrowing of the corruption in the fire nation, so much has happened since then…

Katara retrieved the small book she kept under the pile of letters, where she recorded major events in their life since then so those moments would never be forgotten, Katara has always been a little sentimental. She flipped it open and rested on her pillows and began to read the pages she's filled with memories.

Since then Katara has forgotten to record memories in the book, but to her it seems nothing has changed from the entry two years ago. Maya is now 8 and attending regular school and combat school in the Southern Water Tribe, and her younger brother Izumi is now 3, Katara doesn't see Sokka and Suki much anymore besides on holidays, but knows they are doing good and have a happy life and marriage. Toph met Shoji in the Fire Nation during the clean up and they hit it off, they have been married for five years now and have the young 4-year-old girl Naomi who is growing into quite the earth bending protégé like her mother. Toph travels with Aang on his missions and avatar business and Shoji works as a royal guard for the Earth king in Ba Sing Se. Katara doesn't hear much in the way of Zuko anymore; he has been very busy in the past ten years rebuilding the Fire Nation. Katara was shocked to hear of the engagement between him and Mai considering they break up and get back together day and night. She hadn't seen Zuko since their reunion on Ember Island.

Life was beginning to slow down on Katara with Aang gone 10 months out of the year and her close friends she considers her family are getting married and having children. She babysits Naomi and Izumi and teaches the history of the southern water tribes to children in the schools in Ba Sing Se occasionally.

Katara wants nothing more than to get married and have a family of her own. To be a mother, and a wife, she dreamed of it every night waiting for her fiancée to come home and give that life to her. As of late her life has been spent sitting in her home waiting for a letter or the return of her distant lover.

"I miss you…" Katara whispered to her letters from Aang and put them and the journal back into her night stand drawer. "I need a bath…" She murmured to herself and walked away into her bathroom to relax and freshen up.
