I positively love this fic, Amira. It's well-written and is giving me warm fuzzies. It's been a while since I've read anything about Aang, and I'm so glad that this is the fic that has been my first in at least four months. :D *faved*

Only two things I must critique, because they'll nag me day and night if I don't say something:

(1) "The only thing she had insisted upon was the spelling in honor of her husband."

I don't know much about how traditional Chinese spelling works. Is it even called spelling, since there are no letter involved? Dunno. I do know, however, that the writing that we've seen in Avatar is traditional, so the spelling difference we English writers see will probably not register in the traditional characters used in the show. We see the double A, but I'm pretty sure, due to the different sounds the double A makes in Aang and Aaydin, the characters in Chinese won't be the least alike.

I hope that's clear.

(2) There are only a few legitimate ways to spell Aodhán (prn. AY-den), and that is the traditional Irish/Scottish spelling I’ve just listed, Aden (it’s a lake in the Middle east, not related to Aodhán but prn. the same way), Áedán, and Aidan. I’m a name nerd, clearly, and it’s a pet peeve when authors and parents break away from traditional spellings (with exceptions).

Great stuff as always, Amira. Gotta love Kataang baby fics.

The idea sounded awesome, and as expected, so is the result :D Three cheers for meditating w/ baby

This was so awesome. I love seeing Aang as a dad. I think he would be about the cutest dad ever. Is Aaydin pronounced like Aiden? I like the way it's spelled. All together an awesome fic.

You're right, it is just plain cute. I love the idea of their firstborn being a girl, but either way Aang + baby = ...some word that I can't think of right now. ^_^ Beautiful writing, by the way. Especially since you did this at 3 AM. My mind can barely function that early, let alone write something understandable. So kudos to you for having such an inspiring talent.

Lovely...positively lovely. I say so because not only is that a quality your stories always possess, but that I actually did something similar with my children to calm them when they were fussy. Call it nostalgia. :) Babies crave skin-to-skin contact, so if you cuddle them close on naked skin, and even out your breathing, you get this very result. Insightful and precious.

As always, Amira, your story is well written. Some complain of the "fluff", but that is part of the spice of life. As someone who has spent plenty of time away from home and missed so much of seeing my children, it is always heartwarming to see a story like yours. I also admire the maturity level of your stories. That is part of what makes reading them so enjoyable.
