Thank you all for feeding my addiction.
& just for clarification, like i said in the second chapter, this story doesn't follow the timeline of the show, so in my story, their quest started a little bit later. which makes their ages now:
toph-16, Aang-16 almost 17, Katara & Suki- 17, Sokka- 18, Zuko-19.
sorry for any confusion. (:
ps. sorry it took so long, i haven't been home fer a few days (;
chapter 4.
Fastforward 1 and a half months.
As Toph began finally showing signs of her pregnancy, and Suki barely being able to conceal her new baby bump, Katara was left to tend to their needs while the boys were out gathering food, training and finding ways to make more money. So by the time the boy come home Katara would finish prepairing their dinner, chat a bit, then go back to the her tent for the rest of the night. Eventually Zuko began to see the wear all this new responsibility was taking on his girlfriend. So one night after dinner he decided that when Katara excused herself for the night he would go with her and make sure she was alright. As she said her goodnights, Sokka began to notice she didn't really seem 'there'. Worried he asked Suki, "What's up with Katara?" "She's just been really tired lately, Sokka, you can't tell her I told you though. She doens't like showing when she's absolutely exausted." "I know what's wrong with sugar queen." Toph announced with an 'matter-of-factly' tone. The group exchanged glances, Zuko's however seemed the most anxious. "Sugar Queen's you know. Let's just say the group is gonna be getting even bigger, if you know what I mean." She added with a wink. "Toph! She said not to tell anyone yet!" Imediately slapping her hand over her mouth Suki tried to cover her tracks. "I.. I.. I mean, she didn't want us to tell you she hasn't been feeling well lately." No one was convinced. "Wait are you telling me, that Katara, is.. Is.." "Yes Sparky, you're going to be a daddy."
Katara knew she should have waited till morning to go, but she couldn't risk any of the guys fining out, especially Zuko. She didn't want him to worry about her. She already knew where she was going.
Flashbackk.
She had been in town once about a week ago when Toph and Suki wanted to go make sure their pregnancies were going smoothly. They were both fne, but Suki found out she was further along than she had originally been told, a whole month and a half further. Toph on the other hand, was exactly where she was supposed to be. After they were done with their appointents, Katara went to the back to speak to the healer privately. "Excuse me. Um can I talk to you?" Looking up at the nervous girl, the healer spoke sweetly. "What can I do for you dear?" "Um, I was wondering if i could come in for a check up." "Would you like to do it right now?" "No, I need to get my friends back. Can I come a week from today, at night though." "I usually close up shop before night fall. What exactly is troubling you dear?"
"I think I'm pregnant." `
Return to present.
As she neared the outskirts of town, she slowed her pace to a walk. The town was very quiet, so she didn't expect any trouble. But as she was nearing her destination, she heard a laugh. She recognized it from a long time ago. She turned around and contemplated going back to camp, but decided no, and when she turned back around, and nearly had a heart attack, at who was standing right in front of her. It was Jet. The look of determination in his eyes.
"I... I thought you were dead." She managed to choke out.
"You wish sweetcheeks."
