K15: Okay, guys I know it's been a while since I've focused on this series, but here you go. The final book in my little Confusing Fire series. So lets go over the facts.

O- Ember and Ruko, Zuko's two older siblings have died. (I think)

O- Zuko and Katara now have to get married because they have twins.

O- Zuko's ship blew up.

O- and they're on their way to the Fire Nation to defeat Ozai.

Zuko: Yes that looks right.

Me: And that's all I've figured out by reading the two endings of my fics.
Zuko: Oh. Makes sense to me.

Me: Oh, this is definitely an A/U. Do not ask where Azula is, do not ask what happened to Azula. If Azula is going to be in this fic at all, it's going to be one of Ember's friends. Making her older than Zuko. OH and yes, every time Zuko's ship is destroyed it does come back. It's called cartoon logic… it's like his hair. Later. K15

Disclaimer; I don't own Avatar. Yeah, that's about it.

Redemption of a Prince

Chapter 1-

Zuko paced the room of his new ship. He was nervous, he didn't know what happened to Ember exactly, and he didn't know if she survived the explosion. But one thing was for sure; he did know his family was safe and sound. Zuko smiled as he looked at Katara, sleeping soundlessly in their bed. The twins were lying peacefully in their new crib. Everything seemed to be going perfect for the new twenty year old.

"Mmmm, Zuko?" Katara asked, looking at the prince.

"You should be sleeping. You've been so much in the past week." Which was true. Between dealing with the birth of the twins, she recovered quicker than anyone thought was possible (she healed herself) but she also dealt with Ember and all her lies.

"I can't sleep with you pacing like that." Katara rubbed her blue eyes. She seemed to be doing a lot of sleeping lately, well who could blame her? It was all in preparation for the final battle. Katara crawled over to the edge of the bed and pulled her prince closer to her. "Is something the matter?"

"No," he looked at his blue eye wonder. "Yes. Katara, I don't think we've seen the last of Ember. With Ruko, I know he didn't live because I killed him before he hit the ground. With Ember, well, we didn't stick around long enough to figure out what happened to her."

Katara kissed Zuko deeply, pulling him down onto the bed. " Oh my prince, you worry too much." She muttered against his lips.

Zuko smiled and put his hands on either side of Katara and smiled as he kissed her one more time. "Someone has to worry for our new family. We have twins now, we can't just sit back and watch them grow up." Zuko said, straddling her hips.

Katara smiled and pushed Zuko to her left side, "Just like you can't be a horny teenager any more?"

Zuko pulled the waterbender onto his stomach. "Yes, just like I can't be a horny teenager any more." Zuko smirked as Kozu started to stir. "Don't check on him yet, I want to be a horny teen some more."

Katara smirked and took a silk scarf and tied Zuko's hands to the bed. "Oh Zuko, I have to, it might be time to feed him now."

"Is that necessary?"

"I rather feed him now, in front of you rather than feeding him in front of Sokka and Aang." Katara said, walking over to the crib. A pair of deep blue eyes kept staring at her. She smiled at her son. "Are you hungry little one?"

Kozu let out a huge yawn before reaching up towards his mother. Katara picked her son up and carried him over to the bed. "When are you going to untie me?"

"When you calm down."

"I am calm down." Zuko laughed.

Katara smiled and undid her robe before feeding her son. "It's good to feel a family."

"Yeah, but you're mad still at me aren't you?"

"No, I'm not." She glanced over at the crib. "She's been sleeping for a long time. Can you check on her?"

"I can't."

"You've squeezed out of those before, check on your little girl." Katara demanded.

Zuko sighed before wiggling a hand out of the knot Katara and tied him with. He then walked over to the crib, checking on Kianna. "She asleep."

"She's been sleeping for a long time."

"She'll get…"

"I want you to wake her up." Katara said, wiping Kozu's face a bit with her sleeve.

Again Zuko sighed and took the sleeping princess out of the crib and brought her over to Katara. Zuko held his daughter with the utmost care, almost like he was afraid of dropping her. His golden eyes were full of worried when Kianna even stir at Zuko's touch.

"Something's wrong." Katara stated, closing up her shirt and placing Kozu on the bed. "She shouldn't be sleeping like this. Kianna hardly eats."

Zuko placed his large hand on her forehead. He lowered his body temperature so he was able to see if she had a fever. Her forehead was the exact opposite of hot. It was just cold. Ice cold to the touch, almost like she was suffering from hypothermia.

"Katara, she's cold."

"She doesn't does she?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

"No, it shouldn't be it." Katara took the sleeping child from her husband. She fussed with the girl's hair a little bit before looking at her skin. It was only natural it would be pale, considering whom her father was.

"Katara, calm down."

"Shush Zuko." Katara placed her ear against Kianna's chest. Something was wrong; the breathing that the little girl was breathing was coming out in short shallow breaths. Something was definitely wrong then. "We need to stop at the port."

Worry was now sketched onto Zuko's face. Something was wrong with his daughter. And if Katara didn't know what that was, then he would have to start worrying again. "We can't stop at the next port."

"Why not?"

"It's where Ember was ruling from."
