Maybe things haven't ended just where it was.

Happiness was simple but there won't always last long. Once a happy family has to lose one.

The voice that was ringing all around her head, she thought she could just run away from her trauma to be strong for her kids. To smile for them, and to teach them everything she knew. Her life has been defined by womanhood and by motherhood. Feeling a new person grow within her and raising them to become an independent person was the greatest privilege and the greatest challenge. It weaved with her other accomplishments to form whom she has become. Being a parent should be that way, not an additional thing or an "add on" but a central theme that other passions revolve around.

Jake Sully, Toruk Makto, the head of the Clan, an Olo'eyktan now was also a father.

Father was an aspect of the man that came alive when he was with his child, and it did so because he loved them so very much, because he enjoyed their company and kept their bond as sacred. The story of fatherhood was not about the last page, it was about every paragraph and word. It was about how the emotions of love and protection could be, of fun and cherishing the moments that were conveyed to one another.

If you do that, if you take care of the words, the book will take care of itself. Any father that was the hero of his child was doing it right.

In their dreams, they heard the sound of their children's feet, of their laughter and impromptu song lyrics. Jake and Rasmei could be hugging each other to sleep and would be so asleep or so awake in their soul, reliving those perfect moments of parenthood. There were days they'd recall those adventures of the nighttime and lavish them upon over breakfast, picnic, no doubt with a few beautiful details added on the fly. Every moment of their life spent, it was beautiful and they kept them in their hearts.

The bond between Rasmei and Jake was solid and unshakable. They remained together, they were always dependent on one another through the whole struggle. Hands holding with one another every time and the people were used to seeing their Olo'eyktan treat his wife like a queen. Jake and Rasmei would have been poking and flirting around and a loving couple, carefree and if people could tell, it looked like two teenagers in love. Even she was sitting on the throne beside her husband, Rasmei was no Tsahik; Rasmei was just Rasmei, except that she was growing mature to be a mother of her four kids and was prowling the forest with a bow and arrows, hunting in the same manner as other hunters were. The two sturdiest spirits that Eywa bestowed upon them were a blessing to the forest.

Being parents changed Rasmei and Jake to mature but happy because they felt blessed with the babies that were born into the Sully's family, a sacred gift, a sacred duty, to raise them with love and protect them, yet give them their freedom when the time was right. Every blessing was a curse. It felt as if they needed more responsibility on them other than just the whole Clans. Their family was the wall of strength and if something ever happened, they would fight for one another without hesitation.
