-Month and a half later-

-Start music and Loop-

Liaka was halfway through her pregnancy, But one night she was called By Jake, who stormed into their Nest "LI!" he yelled "NEYTIRI SHES--" Liaka needed no other words, Tsu-tey lifted her in a flash, and she ran out the door, Pregnant belly and all up the spiral, Tsu-tey kept Jake with him and said "Let her, She will provide Neytiri with comfort...we wait, brother.." Jake was nervous that much was certain, he woke to Neytiri's screams, and he'd never heard his mate sound like that, yet Mo'at assured him before he came for Liaka, the first was always the hardest.

Liaka got to Neytiri in time, Neytiri screamed as if her body was being ripped in two, Liaka quickly got behind her and held her hands in hers, trying to sooth as Mo'at worked her Magic, Liaka brushed Neytiri's sweaty braids from her face and whispered "Spirit sister...Breath for me.." Liaka took a big breath, Neytiri following shakily with her "One more big one.." Liaka whispered breathing and swaying neytiri with her, the young women worked together on this, Everytime Neytiri pushed and squeezed her hands, Liaka pushed her chest against her back giving her leverage to push, Neytiri lasted only moments, One big yell, after Two hours of breaths and swaying, He came, The Blessing of Eywa..."Neteyam..." Neytiri Spoke softly, Liaka smiled with Neytiri's week one as Mo'at held the boy up, so the two could see him, his cries echoed through home tree, a Welcoming noise to the Clans members below and the Mates who waited patiently for news.

Liaka thought nothing could be more beautiful than this moment, Life being welcomed to the world, the love of two people, in the form of one being. Liaka smiled at the sight and whispered "Good job Tiri...you did it.." She rubbed her friend's arms soothingly, and as Neytiri cried happy tears her son Passed to her. Liaka slipped away to find Neytiri's mate, Jake. She found him where she left him, He smiled at her widely before taking off too his nest to greet his first son and future leader of the clan. Liaka smiled after him, Tsu-tey coming up behind her his hands resting on her swollen stomach. He too was smiling for the Mated pair living above them, Soon he only hoped they'd be in the same Position, soon enough they would be was his only thought.

a Month later Neteyam's welcome ceremony was to begin, as everyone prepared the night before, Mo'at summoned Tsu-tey and Liaka to her nest. Where she spoke of the things Her and Liaka discussed in private with Tsu-tey for the first time, and the question Liaka had felt would never come, came, and she'd hoped it would have waited..."I need you two, to Learn another clans ways, to maybe some day join the tribes, all of them as one, I ask this of you, because you are mighty warriors, and you Liaka a gift of Eywa, no tribe would dare turn you away...and sadly...." The Tsahik went quiet "I Fear the Sky-people have not finished with us.." Liaka knew this, deep down she knew they'd be back. It was just when for Liaka, But she didnt expect the words to leave Tsu-tey's mouth "We will do this. For our clan." Liaka was shocked at his words "You do know this means your children will be raised among children unlike themselves, they will grow as different, but be one of them nonetheless. are you certain of this..." Liaka took Tsu-tey's hand as he Hesitates to glance at her for her thoughts, "We do Tsahik...We will do it for our people..." she said looking into her Mates eyes, to tell them where he goes, she goes. Always. 

Later that day the celebration began, Neytiri walked towards the tree of souls with Neteyam, Liaka right behind her, Tsu-tey and Jake Stood at the end, waiting for their mates. Neytiri handed Neteyam too his father, Jake Slowly took the childs small Queue, and connected it too the tree, the child smiled and laughed, pupils blown from the connection, and his ancestors voices, "Neteyam!" jake yelled lifting him to greet Eywa, Neytiri and Liaka watched with amazement, Neytiri brought her hand to her mouth her eyes glassing over, Liaka hugged her smiling with tears sheding down her cheeks watching this moment, to snap it to her memory forever. as this was the last time they'd feel complete, with their clan, their small make-shift family that was combined with Jake and Neytiri's Family.

Later that Night Liaka took Neytiri to her nest, and Tsu-tey took Jake too theirs, to break the news of their departure the next morning, to leave to find other clans. When they sat down Neytiri saw her Spirit sisters look, and took one hand from her child and took her friends chin between her fingers "What is it...Lia..." Liaka looked on her friend, taking her hand between her own, and started to explain "I am to leave Tomorrow..." neytiri's ears flattened against her skull "W-Wha---" Liaka shook her head "It is your mother's wishes, to try to join the clans together... I and Tsu-tey will travel to find the first clan...I Just.." Neytiri's tears fled her eyes as she looked at the girl she considered a sister "I want you to know, you will always be here..." Liaka rested her own hand over her own heart "Every moment away I will wish you good morning, and goodnight my friend...I will wish goodness into Eywa so that it will come to you when you connect to the tree..." Liaka's tears had started to fall, Her words turning to sobs in her throat "And I will wait for your words back...your visions of Neteyam..." she took her hand caressing the small boys head "Show me everything Tiri...So then I feel as tho I'm here with you..." Neytiri sobbed at her friend's words bringing her into a tight embrace "Always Spirit sister...always" Neytiri whispered softly "And you...You will show me yours yes..." Neytiri pulled away looking into her friends eyes

"as soon as I deliver them, I will connect and show you...They will wait within the tree of souls for you to see sister.." Tiri smiled and pulled Liaka in for one last tight Hug. Liaka Would miss this, her friend, the children, their lives together. When Liaka left the nest of her friend, She was confronted with Jake, his Face void, She went to speak but he scooped her into his arms hugging her tightly "Thank you, for everything." Liaka smiled and hugged him back "Always, Jake Sully. Always."


The Next morning they readied their Ikrans, Liaka's new Ikran after the war, Was a Combination of Teal, and gold colors, When she Mounted Neytiri ran up to the Ikran, Liaka looked over at her and reached down brushing a braid behind her ear "I see you.." She said one last time to Tiri and tiri Smiled "I see you my Friend...Til we see eachother again..." Liaka smiled a tear slipping from her eye, that Tsu-tey watched fall, He knew it would be hard, But seeing his mate's heart ache, tore his heart in two, She then connected eyes with Tsu-tey and smiled nodding, Tsu-tey nodded a sad smile on his face as he took too the sky.

Liaka flew off after him, a Cloak wrapped around her pregnant body, whipping around as she turned looking over her shoulder at her home, Seeing it get smaller and smaller til it was too much for her heart to bare. She turned back focusing on the sky, and her home sickness keeping her going was her love for the man on the Ikran infront of her. He would root her to the ground with every step, and with every step, she'd follow head first...




Because being Reborn again gave her only one thing, a chance to Sacrifice it all over again.
