Note: I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender. If I did I wouldn't have time to write slash about it (I would be making episode slash).

I got this idea one night while I was bored. I was scanning the internet, looking at random Jetko pictures (for my own amusement), when I came across a few that included a pregnant Zuko and a happy daddy Jet. I could not get the idea out of my head. I loved it, and found out soon that there aren't many fanfictions matching the subject. I was shocked at this, but considered the fact that it would be hard for Zuko to get pregnant. And he would be freaked out/ pissed. But hey, I live in the real world, he doesn't, so a boy can get pregnant! Woooo! And, I have a good...er...decent explanation why.

WARNING!: This chapter is a chapter of Jetko fluff. There is much loving, and not in the hot naked way. It also really doesn't include any update on the events of this story. It's all about Jet and Zuko's past. But something cool does happen at the end!

Autobiography

Aurora

Zuko leaned against the rail of the boat, looking out over the horizon. "The ocean..." He sighed. It was not new to him. "Three years...three freaking years..." What wasted time. "Three months...three freaking months..." It should have taken longer.

They were about a day away from the headquarters of the Freedom Fighters. Jet said that there would be a river that they could follow to a town not far from his home. He said the town held bad memories, but he wouldn't say anymore.

Longshot was steering the boat. Zuko had taught him how a few hours after they started their journey. He had had to, he was easily worn out, being pregnant and all. It hadn't taken much time considering Longshot never asked questions or spoke.

"Are you ok?" Jet walked up behind Zuko, wrapping his arms around his waist. Zuko made no reply. Jet pushed Zuko's hair away from his neck, kissed up his neck to his ear, where he rested his lips gently. "If you don't start answering my questions, I'm going to have to start torturing you for answers."

Zuko was slightly amused at this. He wanted Jet to torture him. "No...I'm only doing this for the baby...I don't want this..." He lied to himself. He, however, did not push Jet away. He only decided to satisfy his curiosity.

"I don't like the ocean, it holds bad memories." Jet removed his lips, turned Zuko around, and looked him in his eyes. "How can you not like the ocean? It's the most mystifying, powerful, inspiring thing in this world?"

Zuko smiled at this. "I never knew you could be so poetic. Or that you knew such big words." Jet didn't smile in reply. "I'm serious." Zuko stared for a moment, then thinking "what the hell, he fathered my child anyway," he decided to tell Jet about his past.

"You know about my father, how he burnt me?" Jet nodded. "Would you like to know the whole story?" Jet thought for a moment. "Only if you want to tell me." "I do." Zuko sighed, and began his long life story.

"When I was little, my father always ignored me. I was sick a lot, and it made me very weak for about the first five years of my life. My sister, on the other hand, flourished as a child. She was a firebending prodigy. Everyone loved her. Especially my father.

As I got better, I thought he would love me more, but I just couldn't get good enough. I was alright though, because I had my mom, uncle, and cousin. I was their favorite because I had a conscience, as compared to Azula, who does not.

Anyway, when I was eight my cousin and uncle went off to war to capture Ba Sing Sa. We thought they would only be gone for a few months, but they were gone for TWO years! It was Lu Ten's first and only time out to battle. He was only eighteen when he left.

Anyway, when I was ten one day we got this letter. It said that Lu Ten had died during the battle. My mom cried a lot. She never cried, my father wouldn't allow it. So my father thought it would be a good idea to vie for my uncle's birthright as firstborn to the throne, but my grandfather, Fire Lord Azulon, didn't agree. He told my father that he was to suffer for his indifference."

Zuko then stopped for a moment, turning his head away from Jet and back to the ocean. Jet was now really involved in the story, and this bugged him. "Then what happened? Did your dad get punished?"

Zuko turned his head back, and decided to finish. "I don't know. I have no idea what happened. My sister told me later that his punishment was to kill me, his only firstborn son, but I'm still here." Zuko stopped again, and took a deep breath. He started again, after getting poked in the chest by Jet.

"Later that night, something happened. Something bad. My sister says that my mom killed my grandfather to save me, and that father killed her in response, but that is a lie. My mom could never kill anyone. But my grandfather did die, and my mom disappeared. No one ever saw her again...

I think she's still alive though. I think that maybe my grandfather banished her as punishment to my father, and she left before he died and my father could stop her. I don't know why she hasn't come back though. Maybe she didn't find out about my grandfather until after she found out I got banished, and went looking for me.

Maybe she thought that my father wouldn't revoke my grandfather's sentencing, and she just decided to stay banished. Who knows? Anyway, while I was banished I kept my eye out for her, but I never did find her. I guess being the wife of the Fire Lord in the earth kingdom that it's a good idea to be hard to find. So that's my story."

Jet shook his head. "No it's not. You forgot about the burn." Mentioning it caused Zuko to become self conscience, and he ran his fingers over it. "Oh, yeah...that happened when I was fourteen. I was trying to get into my father's war room because I wanted to learn about how to be a good ruler.

It didn't work out so good for me. My uncle let me in, and told me to keep my mouth shut, but I didn't. I spoke out against some gas bag of a general who wanted to sacrifice fire nation troops for the war. That really ticked my father off.

I agreed to an Agni-Kai with the jerk, but I was wrong. I had insulted my father's general, and so I had insulted him. The fight was to be with him, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't fight him. He's my father. He would have won anyway, but if I had at least fought I would have kept my honor, but I couldn't. So my father burnt me.

It hurt like hell, but only for a little while. Most of the nerves were burnt off, so the pain wasn't excruciating. It did take a long time to heal though. Anyway, afterwards my dad gave me two choices. First, stay home, and live without my honor, birthright, or title. Second..."

"Catch the Avatar." Jet finished. Zuko nodded. "I chose the second, even though it was, at the time, a lost cause, but I never give up. Never. My uncle was kind enough to go with me. After his son died, and my mom left, he kind of adopted me as his own. My sister never laughed harder."

Zuko sneered. "I hope she gets so pissed off once she finds out that I'm gone that she sets her own hair on fire. Anyway, THAT is the full story." Jet turned to lean against the railing. He looked up at the sky, thinking. He then looked back at a curious Zuko.

"Well, I heard your story, wanna hear mine?" Zuko nodded. "I would." "Ok. Well, I was born in a small earthkingdom village, pretty far from here. I lived with my parents, and Longshot. His mom was my mom's friend, but died when he was four, so we adopted him.

I was seven, and we became good friends, even though he never spoke. My mom said he was sad about his mom, and I bought it. He didn't live with us long because my parents didn't live long. Less than a year later the firenation attacked my village.

My parents and a lot of the other adult resisted them, so they gathered all of them into a few houses, and set them on fire. People were running and screaming and burning. The man who was in charge, who killed them, he turned around and looked straight at me. Then he smiled. The basturd smiled.

I ran. I ran into the forest near our home, and kept running. I was alone for two days, then Longshot found me. We were the only two who had survived and escaped. So we just left. We traveled all over the place, collecting other war orphans as we did, including Smellerbee.

After a while we found a good area to build a home. A place where we could live in solitude and hide. A place where we could seek revenge on the firenation. Oh, and we did!" Jet's eyes grew large, and he stared breathing deeply.

"Those firenation basturds! I swear, if I ever find out who that man was I will cut off all of his limbs slowly, then when he is just holding on to life I will set him on fire!" Zuko was getting nervous. If Jet got too excited he could get violent with Zuko, considering he was firenation, and hurt the baby.

"Jet, please calm down, remember the baby..." Zuko said, backing away slowly as he moved his hands to his stomach. Jet turned and looked back at him. He started to calm down. "I'm sorry. I've learned lately that not all firenation are evil. Some are even quite beautiful..."

Jet then moved over to Zuko, placed his hand under Zuko's chin, moved it up to his lips, and held him in a deep kiss. Zuko was very pleased by this, but he would never tell. When the kiss broke off they both turned to the ocean and leaned against the railing, staring blankly.

"We are alike in a lot of ways..." Zuko whispered half to himself. Jet just nodded in acknowledgment. They remained in silence for a few more minutes. Zuko then spoke again. "I know a lot of the men my father has in control of his army. If you describe him to me, then maybe I can tell you his name."

Jet jerked around to face Zuko, greatly intrigued by his comment. "Really?" Zuko nodded. "He was very tall and muscular, and pale." Zuko rolled his eyes. "Well THAT narrows it down to just about everyone. Anything else your obviously ingenious memory recalls?"

Jet nodded. "He used firebending. He lead a gang of men who rode rhinolizards and one of them was a Yuyan archer, one threw dynamite, one used a ball and chain weapon and was darker than the others, and one used a guan dao."

Zuko's eyebrow perked up. He knew these men. They had attacked him and his uncle not long before he met Jet. "The leader, did he have two feathers that tied a single braided top-knot on his head, the rest of it being bald?"

Jet's eyes grew large. "Yes, he did..." Zuko frowned. He didn't know if it was a good idea telling Jet who the man was, but he had given his word. Sighing, he decided to tell him. "His name is Colonel Mongke, and he is the leader of the Rough Rhinos. They were friends when my uncle was at war-BUTIMSURETHATMYUNCLEHADNOTHINGTODOWITHTHEKILLINGS!"

Zuko practically screamed out incoherently. He realized what he had said, and didn't want Jet to connect Iroh with his parents death. Jet shook his head. "Of course not, I would have recognized him immediately on the boat." Zuko sighed in relief.

Jet turned back to the ocean. "So I finally learn his name. Mongke, 'eternal.' Eternal basturd. I WILL end his life, if it's the last thing I do..." Zuko did not like it when Jet got this way. He wasn't Jet anymore. He was hatred, and that's all. He was Zuko, when Zuko thought about what had happened to himself. Zuko hated himself. And that only made more hatred.

Zuko shook his head. "If I don't stop thinking like this I'm going to drive myself crazy." He put his hand on Jet's shoulder, and Jet turned to face him. Zuko then brought Jet's head to his shoulder, and lay his own on Jet's. Jet moved his hands to Zuko's stomach, and began rubbing it.

"I'm sorry..." He whispered to both Zuko and their child. They stood there for a moment, soaking up each other's comfort, until the most incredible event in both of their lives up till that moment happened. Jet and Zuko felt a movement inside of Zuko's stomach.

They both looked down at it, and Jet moved both of his hands to where the movement had occurred. It happened again. "It's kicking..." Zuko whispered. They stood in silence for a few more moments, feeling another two kicks. Then Jet spoke.

"It's alive...it's real..." Zuko was dumbfounded. He felt the same way as Jet. It hadn't been completely real until now. Simultaneously, Jet and Zuko raised their heads, and looked at each other.

"I love you..." Jet whispered tenderly. Zuko looked into Jet's eyes, and got lost in the pools of love. "I love you too..." He whispered back, speaking from his heart for the first time. They then held each other, and engaged in another deep kiss. This time, both of them were sure that they wanted it.

I would have held off in writing this chapter if not for the one review that I received telling me that the sender couldn't wait for an update. It was my first, and only review (which is fine with me), and I was very excited.

Reviewer, you know who you are, so here's to you!
