Labor of Love

belated tumblr post for @kataang-dungeon's Kataang Smut Weekend day 3 prompt: Work (pregnancy/labor). Rated E. 3.8k words. Written for @coyotelemon after a feral screaming session a million years ago and just finally finished.

“Sweetie? I’m home!” “In here!” Katara called back, and Aang knew exactly where to find her. She had barely moved from her spot in days—ever since the other healers (and Aang) had insisted she stop working—other than for daily walks with her husband to keep her blood flowing and for her frequent trips to the bathroom. Aang had even set a pitcher of water and a basket of her favorite foods on the table next to her that morning, so she wouldn’t have to waste her energy on that. He walked in and knelt down in front of where Katara was sprawled on the couch, taking one foot in his hands and gently massaging it. Her ankles were so swollen, now. She had been carrying this baby for too long. At least a week longer than any of the other healers (including Katara) had expected. He knew she was sore and tired, because the baby had been moving so much and pressing on her bladder so frequently that she was barely sleeping already. Aang had just gotten back from an “emergency” council meeting. He had already informed the Republic City Council that they would be operating without him for at least a few months as he attended to his wife and new child, but they kept finding reasons to send hawks over, requesting his immediate assistance. Katara had insisted he go that morning, saying that she still wasn’t having regular contractions and that someone would send him a hawk if anything changed. “Plus,” she had said that morning, as he reluctantly pulled on his robes, “you can remind them… again… that when things do change, they’ll need to learn how to get on without you for a bit.” Now, though, she moaned gratefully as he heated his hands and worked his way up her calf before switching to the other foot. Unbeknownst to Aang, his heated hands moving firmly up her leg brought another idea to the forefront of Katara’s mind, and subsequently out of her mouth. “Aang, please,” she begged.
