Katara's POV:
A rambunctious boy named Bumi was born about 9 months later. I had given birth to a really great waterbender, and as time passed on, we found no trace of bending in Bumi. It was disappointing, but we still loved him all the same. Aang was still hoping for an airbender, so we had to do it again.
I wrote to Zuko everyday, and he wrote back.
Dear Katara,
Great news!
Princess Honora is a firebender.
Mai has been taking great care of her, and she's decided
no more babies.
How's your family doing?
Are you having anymore children, because I need you by my side.
I miss you so much.
How's Aang doing? Please don't tell me he's been wanting 5 kids more.
I can barely stand if we had to wait 9 months, let alone 45.
Please love me,
Love,
Firelord Zuko.
I wiped away a tear of sorrow. I missed him so damn much. I looked out side. It was a warm, sunny day. I wrote back and carried the hawk back outside. I started practicing water bending
Zuko's POV
The hawk flew quickly into sight and landed onto my shoulder. Katara had written back! My eyes lit up and I opened the rolled up parchment.
Dear Zuko,
I'm so happy for Honora!
Yes, Aang wants another baby,
We're trying for an airbender this time.
Third time's a charm
I miss you so much it burns my heart into ashes,
I can hardly breathe with it smoking up my lungs.
Come to the cottage for the Spring!
Kya and Honora can play together.
Please, I need you here.
Tell Mai I said hi.
Love,
Katara
I smiled, wrote back, and went to Mai.
"Mai, we're going back to the Aang and Katara's cottage for the Spring." Mai turned around, her back faced me.
"You know, it seems as though you have feelings for Katara.
I winced. "No. Why would you think that?" I lied.
"Well, first off, you've been finding a lot of time to see her. First you decided it would be nice to visit them, then you invited them her for 4 months. And now we're going over there for another visit! Second, you two kissed, and I'm guessing you two liked it, because you rubbed your hands all over each other! For all I know, you two could have had sex!" Mai turned her head towards me and stood up in rage.
I bit my lip uncomfortably. "I'm sorry Mai! I was hoping to-"
"Hoping to what Zuko? How to get away with it but keep sleeping with me every night? Hoping to keep making out with her and then break up with me soon? Hoping to what?" Mai mushed her eyebrows into one while tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I don't know! I was just waiting for it to blow over! I was just kissing her hoping it's just a crush! But it's not. I love her, Mai. I can't think of my lips on anyone else's but hers. I can't think of anyone else to put my arms around. Or anyone to put their head on my shoulder but her. I cant take it anymore. I just can't do it. I can't." I put my hands over my face. I sat down and shook my head.
"It's over Zuko. Have fun over there with Katara." Mai walked out of the room.
Katara woke up the next day and walked outside. A hawk was sitting on a column. Katara took the note and read it out loud to herself:
"Dear Katara,
I am so excited to come.
Mai and I will be over soon enough,
but not soon enough for me.
Honora seems pretty happy too.
She won't stop giggling, and she keeps singing the ends of my hair.
I love you so much Katara.
Love,
Firelord Zuko"
Katara wrote back quickly and threw the hawk into the air. She spun around on a spiral of water and practiced freezing it into spikes and shooting the spikes all around her. Aang walked out.
"You look happy, what's the good news?"
"Oh nothing. I just learned a new trick." Katara improvised. She stood on her hands, lifted an arms up, and bent water around her into a circle. Then she spun her hips and legs to make the water dance crazily. Katara bounced back to her feet and yelled "Tah dah!"
Aang clapped, and pulled her close. Then he spun her around, leaned her back, and kissed her.
Katara cringed. This was getting old. His unchapped flabby lips always had sweat and saliva on them, and Katara wanted to push him over whenever he would kiss her.
Katara fell over and stood up. "I'm going to practice some more." She jumped into the water and shot out like a bullet. Katara bent some water to make a spiral and stayed there, keeping the water up with a small spiral motion coming from her feet.
She made two columns of water rise with her arms. Katara breathed in, and out. She froze the columns and melted the water inside of them so that they would be hollow. Then she let the water escape from the bottom, and bent it out to water some of the plants that stood by the pond and seemed to be watching the water, longingly.
Dear Zuko,
I have a guest bedroom ready for you and Mai.
I've made a spot for Honora that it across the hall from you two.
I made sure it was completely fireproof, so if she sneezes, she won't get burned.
I'm 3 months pregnant, so I won't be completely paralyzed yet.
Aang and I are anxious for your arrival!
Come soon!
Love,
Katara
Zuko read the note quickly and sighed. He went to get Honora, but she was gone. All that was there was a note.
Zuko.
We've left you.
I've taken my daggers and Honora, and we're getting away from the fire nation.
I hope you're happy with what you've done.
You broke my heart,
I'm breaking yours.
Princess Honora will learn to works of daggers,
she won't be learning fire bending.
I won't let her adapt such an awful skill.
Have fun with Katara.
I hop you guys have many fire and waterbenders together.
You suck,
Mai.
Zuko dropped the note. He ran out the door and started running towards Bah Sing Se quickly. He had to find Katara. He needed his daughter back.
