Kyalin and their kids

It's A Long, Long Way To Ba Sing Se

The siblings enter the room handing out everyone's drinks before they settle back into the table.

"Bumi, what devil did you make a deal with to come back out here alive?!" Suyin laughs referring to Kya's earlier state of fury.

"BumJu came and saved me!" Bumi bellowed eliciting a giggle from the children.

Lin looks at Kya as she takes her seat, silently asking if she is alright. Kya takes Lin's hand and squeezes it, silently replying. Ikki catches the subtle touch out of the corner of her eye and her face goes red eyes widening as she holds in a laugh.

"What's wrong Ikki?" Izumi asks setting down her water.

"It's a secret!" Ikki says in the loudest 'whisper' to grace the earth.

Izumi nods her head to the seat next to her gesturing for the young air bender to come and tell her. Ikki quickly jumps out of her seat and scurries over to Izumi.

"Aunt Kya and Aunt Lin are holding hands!" The young air bender manages to successfully whisper and they both giggle at the news.

"Hey! Zums quit stealing my niece!" Lin jokes from the other side of the table.

Kya swoons at Lin calling Ikki her niece. It made sense that she would but hearing her say it in such a public place made Kya's heart melt.

"Don't worry Aunt Lin you've still got me!" Opal beams leaning over with a huge grin on her face.

"I'm cuter tho!" Ikki says air bending herself into Lin's lap.

Lin uses her other hand to lightly ruffle Ikki's hair before placing it around the young girl hugging her.

"Hey! I wanna hug too!" Opal says sounding just like the other air bender kids.

Opal follows suit air bending herself behind her aunt's chair before wrapping her arms around Lin. The entire table coos and aww's as Lin simply growls at all of them.

"Man, if I could show this to my fourteen-year-old self!" Suyin laughs as she takes a mental picture of the moment.

Eventually, everyone returns to their own seat and the casual conversation resurfaces. Tenzin excuses himself to take the kids to bed, Lin and Kya automatically stand to go with him for Ikki. Ikki grabs both of their hands and swings them as they walk towards the rooms following Suyin's directions.

Tenzin takes Meelo and Jinora goes into her own room insisting she's old enough that she doesn't need to be tucked in. Ikki simply pulls Kya and Lin into her room and bounces onto the bed.

"Can you sing me a song while Aunt Lin tucks me into bed Aunt Kya?" Ikki asks, flashing her best puppy dog eyes.

Kya simply nods and begins singing an old song her Uncle Zuko used to sing her when she was a child. The song used to get her so excited but she wanted Ikki to sleep so she opted for a slowed-down version of the song.

It's a long, long way to Ba Sing Se

Kya began singing the familiar tune her mind drifting back to all the times she'd hear it as a child.

But the girls in the city

The first time she'd heard the song when she was six and Zuko's uncle was sick. The older man had always been kind to her, and so she asked if she could come to visit him and try to make him better.

Her mother had been teaching her healing for a few months and so she thought she could try healing him. As she walked through the hospital hand in hand with Zuko she looked up at her uncle, she'd never seen him cry. He'd always seemed so strong like nothing could break him, Kya knew he'd been through a lot.

they look so pretty

She'd heard stories about the fire lord, not Zuko but the fire lord before him, his father - Ozai. Katara had said he wasn't a nice man and Kya learnt about him in school, he'd hurt Zuko and gave him his scar. Kya always though the scar was pretty it was meant to be a mark of shame, dishonour but she didn't see it that way. As they walked into the room she saw the older man sit up.

"Iroh!" She said excitedly jumping up and down on the bed next to him. He shifted slightly and moved to lift her up onto the bed with him.

"I see you've brought me a special visitor nephew," Iroh said gleefully.

And they kiss so sweet

"How have you been uncle?" Zuko asked, his voice breaking.

"Zuko, I've made the decision." The man sounded sad, and Kya saw fresh tears fall from her uncle's eyes but she has no clue why.

"So you're really going to the spirit world." Zuko looked the man in his eyes like it would be the very last time and little did Kya know, it would be.

that you've really got to meet

"Don't cry uncle ZuZu!" Kya bounced off the bed and wrapped her arms around his legs. Zuko lifted her onto his hip and held her tightly.

"Sing to me nephew." Iroh croaked weakly.

Zuko didn't reply but simply pulled a chair beside Iroh's bed and placed Kya in his lap. He slowly began singing the song his uncle had sung all those years ago, the song he had sung to Kya and the song she would now pass down to Ikki,
