Hi everybody this is my first fanfiction so please be nice and help me if you can!
Discalimer: I do not own avatar the last airbender.
"Mummy?" Kya started whining "MUMMY!"
"Zuko? ZUKO!" I was starting to yell.
"What... I'm up." Zuko said groggily "Who got hurt?"
Zuko was always worrying about me. I loved him but sometimes he worried too much. "Zuko Kya is crying and I..." just then a wave of nausea swept over me. I ran straight into the bathroom right to the toilet.
"Tara?...KATARA! are you okay in there?" Damn it that Zuko always worrying about me when our daughter was crying in the other room.
"I'm...Fine! Just check ..." Damn it I hate being sick "on Kya."
"What about you.." Zuko started.
"Shut up and go get her...I will be right out." Why am I so sick? Maybe it is food poisoning? No Zuko eats the same thing. Well whatever it is over now.
"Katara?"
"What Zuzu?" I was getting a little mad now.
"Kya said the she wouldn't come until you were here." Damn it I loved Kya but she was so clingy. Just like her uncle Sokka. Kya Ursa was our only child, for now, she was only two years old and looked just like her daddy, except for her eyes. She was even a Firebender just like him. As I walked onto her room I started to talk.
"What's wrong baby? Did you have another bad dream?" Oh god now I was going to get the whole story all I wanted to do was sleep. Zuko made it even better, even though I was in our daughter's room and I was pretty sure we were not getting out of there for a while. I could feel his hand going down my back. I knew what he wanted and he would get it like usual.
"Mummy der was fiwer eberywher!" Ugh I hated when she did this. I loved her and all but I was at my ropes end. "Den it come aftwer me. Scawy! I cowldn't wun fwast enowf!"
"Its okay baby it was just a dream don't worry. Just go back to sleep. Kay?" I was up to the pleading stage. "I'll take you to see the turtleducks tomorrow if you are good and go to bed now."
"Fwine. Nwight Mummy. Nwight Daddy." She drifted off to sleep.
"I love you baby." Zuko said while kissing her forehead after he moved a strand of hair out of her face. "You to princess." he turned and said to me. He had that look in his eyes and he was playing with my hair.
"I know what you want.." He started to kiss my neck while I tried to say something reasonable. Man why was he so irresistible?
"Am I going to get it?" He liked to tease me.
"Maybe." I said with a smirk on my face. He liked to tease me and I liked to turn it right back. Just then an earthquake shook the whole palace. "Oh not again!" Toph and Aang were at it again. I hoped that there wing would last this time. I really didn't want to do any remodeling.
"Come on babe. I want you. Just ignore them." Finally something we could both agree on. "Just for me?"
"Fine!" I said while he swept me up in his arms taking me to our room. Him holding me was the safest place I could ever be.
When I woke up in the morning Zuko wasn't there. He was the Fire Lord and all but I hated when he had to leave early in the morning. I scooped up one of the sheets off of our bed and started off to the library where I knew Zuko would be. As I was going down the hallway I saw his beautiful face and then everything went black.
ZPOV
"Princess!" No answer. I tried again. "Princess?" God please help me. "My Fire Lady please get up! Somebody please get help!" My mind was racing. I should have gotten her help sooner. "Someone go get Aang and Toph!"
Why didn't the doctors get done faster. Kya was on my hip with her head in the crook of my shoulder where she had fallen asleep crying. We had been there for two hours and still nothing.
"Sparky! Just sit down you are making my vision cloudy!" Since Toph was blind she only saw with her feet because she was an Earthbender. She was also eight months pregnant with Aang and she was in his arms. You could see her betrothal necklace dangling from her neck that he had given to her 2 years ago and they had been trying for a child ever since. She look like she was about to pop!
"I'm sorry Toph but I just..." The doctor walked in cutting of his sentence in the process. "Doctor is she okay?"
"They are both in stable condition for now but I must warn you she is still a little groggy. You can go in to see her." The doctor was sad about giving this news to Zuko.
"They?" Zuko looked over at Aang and Toph. They didn't know any more than he did.
KPOV
Zuko came in the room and he looked as worried as always. Kya look like she had just woke up. After putting her in the seat at the end of the bed he came over and layed in bed and put his arms around me.
"Tara, princess, are you okay?" He said after he lifted my chin up so that he could look into my red eyes as I talked to him.
"No Zuko I need to tell you something." I could feel the lump in my throat starting to form.
"What princess? What is it?" This was not going to be easy. I was already crying.
"Zuko I'm pregnant...but they...th-they don't think...think that..that the baby is is going to make it." That was it I couldn't hold it in any longer it all came out. "I'm s-s-so sorry!" He held me even tighter. Trying to comfort me but to me nothing could fill the whole that had started in my heart the moment I heard what should have been some of the best news of my life. I should be glowing with health. With Zuko and Kya by my side and the tears coming down my face would be tears of joy.
"It will be okay princess we will get through this together. There was nothing you could have done or what you did do. This isn't your fault." He was rubbing her back to calm her down. "Just let it out. I got you. It is okay." We stayed like that for a while until the doctor came into the room. He bowed deeply before speaking.
"Fire Lord Zuko you and your family can go if you want." The doctor felt bad for having to give them the news. "Just watch her and make sure that she doesn't life anything too heavy."
"Thank you Doctor" We both said in unison.
Zuko picked up Katara in a bridal carry and Aang carried the now sleeping Kya.
TPOV
"Toph please come to bed you are making me worried!" Aang was on the bed waiting for her. "You need to stop you will just make yourself sick."
I couldn't stop myself Zuko and Katara had put this roof over our heads. So I just kept pacing around the room. "Twinkle Toes what if something happens to Sugar Queen? Huh? What if...if something happens to me!"
"Nothing is going to happen to you! Toph I love you and you need to trust me. You and Katara are going to be just fine."
"But how do you know that? I...ow!" I had the most shooting pain go through my stomach at that moment.
"Toph what is wrong? Is it the baby?" I wanted to scream in pain he needed to get me a healer and now.
"Aang get the midwives the baby is coming!" Ugh why would he stand there like a poodlemonkey seeing Appa flying straight at it. "Um can you get moving? Like NOW!"
After three hard hours of labor, with Katara being there right beside me, Aang fighting with the servants to let him come in the room, I held my new little baby boy in my arms. Aang was finally let in to see his new son. Zuko was also let in and stood by Katara.
"Zuko I want a boy. What about you?" Katara was so happy with the birth of my baby that she couldn't even hold it in.
"I want whatever you want Katara." Zuko was also happy.
"What are you two going to name him?" Katara was putting us on the spot now. "I think he kinda looks like Aang, but without the arrows."
"Well," I said "that settles it! I want to name him Little Twinkle Toes!"
"You want to name him after me?" Aang was astonished.
"Of course just after his daddy." I was just too happy to stop smiling.
"That settles it then Aang Jr. welcome to the world this is your beautiful mother, your aunt Katara, uncle Zuko, and I am your daddy, my name is Aang. You were named after me because your mother loves me very much." With that I hit him in the arm but I let him finish his little speech. "I am the Avatar and I saved the world with the help of all the people in this room and the help of your aunt Sukki and your uncle Sokka. I love you baby!"
Everyone in the room had a tear in their eye, even the most unbreakable one, Zuko!
"Aang that was beautiful! I love you." I was so happy he was stepping in as the role of father I was afraid that he would be afraid at first. I was so tired that after Aang took our son that I drifted off into a deep sleep.
KPOV
Six months had passed since they had had their baby and they were the family that Aang and Toph had always wanted. He looked very much like his daddy. Kya's three and Zuko is already starting to train her in the art of Firebending. She is a real prodigy.
"Hey do you two want a snack?" I asked walking out to the garden hoping that they would take a break from practicing for just a little bit so I could actually see Zuko during the day.
"Hello Beautiful!" Zuko said just before planting one right on my partly open lips. I tried to cling on for as long as I could he was stronger than me even when he was being gentle.
"Mummy look what I learned!" Kya giggled.
"Baby NO!" Zuko screamed but he was just a little too late. My sixth and a half month baby belly prevented me from getting very far. Burnt neck, hands, legs, and belly. I was in shock. I couldn't heal myself. I fell to the ground Zuko wasn't quick enough to catch me in his big, strong, warm arms.
"Mummy did you see that?" Kya exclaimed "Mummy, Mummy?"
"Katara you will be fine I promise. Just stay with me princess!" Zuko pleaded while carrying me to the bedroom calling Aang, Toph, Healer, anybody, and making sure that Kya was still following him.
"Zuko wh-" Aang had heard his cries, I was still in shock but I could feel the tears on my face.
"WHAT. DID. YOU. DO. TO. HER?" Aang was screaming at him and I wanted to scream at back at him that it wasn't his fault and that he was making my baby girl cry.
"Aang it wasn't me!" Zuko yelled back.
"Help me please." I said with all I had left it was barely more than a whisper but hey both heard it clear as day.
"Don't worry princess. I'll get help." Just then five healers came running down the hallway and took me away from my Zuko.
ZPOV
They took her out of my arms and swept away with her. They didn't take her to our bedroom either.
"Zuko! I swear if you hurt her and something happened that can't be reversed I will…" Aang was fuming. Toph had to step in between us.
"Sparky!" She ran straight up in my face and started screaming. "Did you do this to her? Cause I will know if you lie to me!"
I put my hand on Kya's head her little body was shaking against mine. She was worried, scared, and sad that she had hurt her mother. My wife, one of the only things that got me up in the morning other than her. "No it wasn't me." I said looking down at Kya. I saw the realization of regret in Aang's eyes. I looked down at my little girl clinging to my bear chest, too much clothing while teaching Firebending was not a very good idea. "Hold on for a second you too. Baby," I said while pulling he chin up so she could look at me. "Let's go and see Uncle Iroh. Will you two please wait?" They both gave me a nod as if to say fine.
As we walked down the hall way I started talking to Kya. "Baby, look at me it is not your fault. Mommy will be just fine."
"No she won't daddy. I h-h-hurt her." She broke into a new stream of tears.
"No baby girl she will be just fine trust me. Let's just let you stay with Uncle Iroh while I talk to Aunt Toph and Uncle Aang. Kay?" I was hurt that she blamed herself. She was becoming more like me every day now.
"Pinky promise daddy?" She said as she stuck out her little pinky finger for me to wrap mine around it and promise her everything was going to be just fine. My little girl had even managed to make me cry with everything that had gone on today it is normal for someone to cry but I managed to stay stable until this very moment. I saw her mother in her eyes. She gave me the same look when she told me that she was pregnant six months ago.
"Pink promise baby." I said just before reaching Uncle's door. Fifteen minutes later I was sitting with Aang and Toph in the living room.
"Kya did it didn't she?" Toph said with sadness in her light gray eyes.
"Yes. She wanted to show Katara what she had learned today. She didn't mean to . She lost control and I wasn't fast enough to get in front of Katara." The lump in my throat was blocking every word I said and it felt like forever before I could even say another word. "I have been a terrible father and husband." I bent my head low in grief and felt Toph's hand on my back she was whispering softly to me like a mother does to her child after they have a bad dream. I though it through and I realized that I had to get Sokka and Sukki if something happens to Katara that I have no way to prevent to stop then it was the least I could do. "Aang can I borrow Appa for a couple of days?"
"Zuko, I can't let you do this." Aang replied to my request as well as he could. "You Are just trying to run away from you problems. What about Kya or Katara? They both need you here."
"Aang I was just going to get Sokka, Sukki, and Natalia!" I was really pissed now. How could he lecture me about leaving my family!
"Toph, A.J., and I will get them. It will only take about 2 days." He concluded "Zuko this is the best way this can be don't. You should go and see Katara and Kya."
"Fire Lord Zuko," The doctors came out to get me bowing low in the process. "Your wife is in very bad condition. But there is more to the problem than this. If you could please walk with me."
IPOV
(One hour earlier)
"Uncle? Uncle Iroh?" Zuko said pounding at my door. As I opened the door he came in with a crying Kya on his hip, her little head in the crook of his shoulder.
"Zuko what's wrong?" I was worried. "Where is Katara? Is everyone alright?"
"Uncle I will explain later. Can Kya stay with you for a while?" Zuko had been crying too. Had something happened to Katara? The baby?
"Of course. Come here my little Jasmine flower." I said while taking Kya from Zuko. He would tell me when he was ready. I had learned well enough that you should not bother Zuko on a subject. The only two people that could do that were Katara and Kya. Kya and Katara have Zuko wrapped around their fingers.
"Thank you Uncle." Zuko said while taking a deep bow, before he exited the room.
"Would you like some tea Kya?" I whispered softly to the little girl.
"Uh…hu." Kya managed to sniffle out.
I made us both some Jasmine tea and we sat by the fire place. She was watching as I made the flames jump out dance in the air then jump back in.
"So my little flower can you tell me what has happened?" I questioned she had stopped crying but still looked sad.
"Mummy hates me. I think that daddy does too" She said solemnly. "So does the baby."
"Now Kya what would every make you say something like that? You know that your mother loves you no matter what. And as for your father he could never do anything that would hurt you, you are too special to him. They both love you and the baby will love you so much for being its big sister." I told her hugging her.
"But I hurt them they could never love me anymore." She could not be convinced no matter what.
"Kya, what do you mean when you say that you 'hurt' them? Did you break something and they were mad?" I knew that wasn't the answer but I wanted better than what I was expecting.
"No. I wanted to show mummy what I had learned with daddy. I forgot and the flames went straight at mummy. She got hurt real bad. The healers had to come and get her. Uncle Aang got really mad at daddy and started yelling at him. Then daddy brought me here to see you." She finished. So that was what had happened. Young Firebender could lose focus so easily and then the people that they loved got hurt. I knew the story all too well.
"Kya don't worry everything will be alright. I promise you that. Okay?" I said while she shook her head yes to answer me. I could tell that she was tired it was almost midnight and she was starting to doze off. "Come here my little flower let me put you on the couch so you can try and get some sleep." She slept like this for about an hour until Zuko came in.
"Uncle." He said with sorrow in his voice and tears on his face. "The news is not that of good standing."
"Zuko, my nephew, Kya has told me what happened in the garden. I am sorry to hear this. What is to become of Lady Katara?" I asked knowing by his words and face that the answer was nothing less that tragic.
ZPOV
Kya lay on the couch trying to pretend like she was sleeping but I knew better than that. I didn't want her to hear this right now and I couldn't trust myself to keep my emotions in check. Uncle Iroh could stop me if he needed to but with Kya being the little girl she was, she would stand no chance of defending herself. "Uncle could we talk in the other room please?" I was trying to keep my composure up in front of Kya Katara and I had always taught her to be strong. Right now I felt that if I let her down she would never trust me again.
"Of course Zuko." He said as he led me into his bedroom. I couldn't take it anymore I sunk to the floor. A man dying in a pit of flames. I let all of it go. I cried. "Uncle, they don't think that Katara will be okay. She is badly burnt. She was in too much shock to heal herself. The baby probably won't make it because of the complications that we had earlier in the pregnancy."
"Zuko, be strong I know that it is hard right now. I felt the same way when I lost my son but you need to be strong. You have a three year old daughter out there who thinks that both of her parents hate her and she is going to be banished!" Uncle Iroh yelled.
"She thinks that I am going to banish her?" I asked and Uncle nodded. "But why I love her I could never do that. She is half of my entire world."
"Zuko take her to see Katara. It will be hard for the both of you. Get Katara's family here as soon as you can. And let Kya know that you love her and you would do anything to make her happy." Uncle physically pushed me out of the room into the living room. I reached down to pick up Kya and take her to see her mommy. "Come on baby let's go and see your mom." I whispered to her hiding the hurt in my voice . She had always looked like her mom but tonight the resemblance was scary every time I looked at Kya I saw Katara.
"Okay daddy." She said as she clung to my neck while I cradled her in my arms.
KPOV
Zuko came in holding my little girl. She wouldn't even look at me. Was I really that scary? "Hi baby." I said in a raspy voice."Come here."
"Mummy?" Kya said in a voice a little louder than a whisper as if not to wake up the baby.
"What baby? What is it?" I wanted to know what was wrong with her. Had Aang yelling at Zuko upset her or was it seeing me in the bed looking this way? Did she blame herself for this?
"Mummy do you hate me?" Did she really just ask me that? She thought that I hated her.
"Darling come here." I told her pointing to the side of the bed. I was feeling much better while the healers were out getting some herbal remedies I had found some water and healed myself and the baby still inside of me with only a cup of water. I was ready to go and sleep in my own bed other than this place. "Kya do you see my neck?"
"Yes mummy I do."
"Do you see a burn or a scar?"
"No mummy I don't"
"Well I got burned there and I healed myself. I'm all better now and I am ready to go to sleep in my own bed." I said sliding a glance over to Zuko. He was already on that.
"So you are all better know?"
"Yes I am baby girl."
"You, daddy and the baby don't hate me?" I could see Zuko sneaking up behind her to surprise her.
"No one here hates you." Just then Zuko pulled her up into a giant bear hug and spun her around the room. "Come on now let's go home and be a family."
Zuko had his hand on me the whole way to Kya's bedroom we tucked her in and said good night and she was fast asleep before her head hit the pillow. Zuko carried me to our room. He took me straight to the bathroom pulled off all of my clothes except for my wrappings. And put me in the water. He took off everything except for his shorts and joined me in the water.
"Katara are you really okay?" He asked. As I said before Zuko worries way too much.
"Yes Zuzu. I just need to heal myself now." The water started to glow blue and encase my whole body it almost felt like a weight was being lifted off my shoulders. A minute later I was done healing myself and in the arms of my husband.
"Let me take you to your royal bed, Fire Lady."Zuko said while sweeping me up and drying me off.
"I would love that, Fire Lord Zuko." He took me to our bed laid me down, pulled the covers over me, and then crawled in bed himself.
"Katara?" He said while rolling over to see my face.
"Yes my love?" I answered him while looking into his golden eyes. They were glistening with tears. I have only seen him cry a few times. "Zuko? What's wrong?"
"I just can't believe you are okay. How did you get the water? They never let you have any when you get hurt. I didn't get to see you before I got Kya were you okay then?" He had doubt in his eyes. That doubt was aimed at me like he didn't trust me anymore.
"Zuko when you went to get Kya Toph came in she knew that if I didn't get water then me and the baby would most likely die. She was dressed for travel like she was going to be gone for a couple of days. Then once I had healed myself she left. I didn't get to say thank you or anything. I love you Zuko. I knew that they wouldn't let me near any water so I took a chance otherwise me and the baby would have probably have died." I told him he had lifted up his head and there was gratitude, but now I felt as if I had betrayed him.
"Katara, I am so glad you are okay. Now I have something to tell you. I am the reason Toph left her whole family left. It was my request." He said. Did he banish them all from the palace?
"You mean you BANISHED them?" I screamed at him. How dare he banish my friends? THEY were the ones who kept me company when he was on his Fire Lord duties or when he was teaching Kya new Firebending techniques. I jumped out of bed knowing I was fully naked and not caring he was going to hear what I had to say "You are horrible. You know nothing. Maybe you should banish me too for yelling at you!"
So what do you think? This is my first fanfiction and it is not a oneshot. I am not sure weather this is very good or not but i will still give it a shot. PLEASE REVIEW! i would love to hear what you think of my story. The more reviews the faster i update.
PS- I don't own A:LAB I just like to write stories!
