Day 1: Family

Zutara Week! and it popped up at just about the same time my writing muse came back. Im so glad I could participate. This is my first one so yeah to me. I've missed writing so much -and I hate writing-.

Me no own ATLA

Family

"Mommy. Daddy. Can I ask you a question? Five year old Ra Gin came into the room of his mother and father unintentionally interrupting their conversation.

"I don't know what to do with her, we've sent her to every- Oh Ra Gin, hi honey what did you say?" Looking passed her husband and gesturing with her head, Fire Lady Katara called her son over to the bed. Ra GIn walked over to his mother around the bed. "I said could I ask you two a question?"

"Sure sweety, what is it?" The little prince climbed onto the bed placing himself between his parents. The Fire Lord patted is son's head before reaching for a glass of water to take a drink.

"Where do baby's come from?"

Zuko dropped his glass as he half spit out half chocked on his drink. His face turned red and Katara was already patting his back. Ran Gin just sat their confused. What had he said to make daddy chock?

"Daddy are you ok?"

"I -cough- I'm fine."

"So are you gonna tell me where babies come from?"

"Um... well... babies they uh..."

Shaking her head in shame Katara patted her husbands head, before pulling her son into her lap. "Babies come from a mommy's belly."

"How do they get there?"

"Yeah how do they get there?" Zuko ws still a bit sour at how easily she handled that, but he was sure that she wouldn't be able to get through this one.

Rolling her eyes, Katara continued to explain. "The daddy puts them there."

"But how do they get in there?"

Zuko now chuckled to himself; There was no way she could explain that to him without being uncomfortable.

"Well... when a mommy and daddy love each other they get married. After a while they decide they what to have a baby, so the dad... puts a look of little seeds in the mommy's belly-"

"Like a garden?"

"Yeah, like a garden, but only one of them grow up to be baby."

"Oh, I get it now. That way better than what Uncle Sokka or Auntie Toph told me and Gi Ra."

"What did they tell." At the mention of Sokka and Toph Katara visible tensed.

"Um... never mind... I think that I should go to bed now." He crawled out of the bed and ran to the door with a fleeting "goodnight."

"And what are you laughing at? Who knows what kid of nonsense those two are filling our childrens' minds with."

"Probably stuff that they shouldn't, just look at what they did to Aang, the last time we saw him he had a girl for every arm and arrow."

"Yeah, it was a nightmare."

"I'm just glad I'm not the only one who messed up."

"Aww you didn't mess up, It was just an awkward thing for you."

"But I'm the father, I should be able to answer all my kids questions."

"It'll just take time."

"I hope so."

Sorry for the crappy-ness of this story, I didn't like this promt and I fell like crap right now. If it weren't for the compelling power of Zutara I would not be able to sit at my computer and bother to fix it. Day two will be better.

I took the children and the opening from another story I have that I don't think I want to finish. The only difference is that i changed the plot, so if I do eventually post it I wouldn't be repeating myself.

I have two other pieces Im working on write now, just to prove that Im not only backfor the Zutara. One is a one shot and the other is like a three chap piece. I'm also going to do 7 days of CAPSTARA and other stuff on live journal (if i have access to the Internet).

Review and when I feel better I'll come back and fix it up.
