Katara and Zuko sat in the bed room listening to the fleet of nurses and midwifes that had been called in. Katara had experienced a bit of heavy bleeding, this worried the couple. Katara was trying so hard not to cry in fear that she had lost another baby.

"Bleeding in the first few weeks of pregnancy is normal but you should limit your self to extraneous activity. Fire Lord I am going to have to ask you to not…to have sex with your wife in the coming weeks."

She said very directly. Zuko nodded understandably. "We will see how things are going after the first month of the pregnancy." She said after things had sunk in.

"I have given a strict diet for the Lady. She should eat 6 times a day and only a what she needs and the prescribed amounts." Another one said, Katara nodded, "So I am still pregnant?" She asked trying to sound brave and not scared.

"Yes as far as we all know. In about a half an hour you may do another 'pregnancy test' to be sure." She said with a kind smile and nod.

Katara nodded.

Zuko was worried of course he had canceled all his meetings for the next month or so. He wasn't about to get all stressed about the country when his family was going through some tough patches. All the midwifes and nurses left the room and went back to their respected areas in the Fire Nations. About 5 of the best stayed in the palace, and three of the five stayed with in the wing.

Katara took the test again and it came back positive. She quickly got in to bed and made herself comfortable. The only thing she wanted to do at the moment was pray that she could carry this baby to term and that the fire nation had an heir. Zuko had gone and ordered Katara some food off of her special diet and something for him as well. He came back in to the room and sat on the bed facing Katara.

"I am sorry. I put up a fight with the nurse. If I had known that it would be like this I would have been more…" she was cut off by Zuko.

"You didn't know this was going to happen this time or the time before, okay…just do what the nurses and midwifes say and I think we will be alright." He said this reassured her until the food came. They ate and talked and ate some more. Zuko went and found Katara an assortment of books and scrolls to read. Katara napped and read. This whole thing was boring but now that Katara knew what might happen she tried her hardest to not go and walk the gardens.


Sokka and Suki got their letter. "Sokka, you will never guess what is happening…!"

"What?" He said in the middle of eating his meet.

"Zuko has made you an uncle." Suki said with a smile.

"WHAT!!"

Sokka sent back a reply but Suki got a hold of it before it was sent and took out all the death threats out.


When Aang and Toph received their letter they were excited as well, and responded as quickly as possible. "What do you think about this Aang?" Toph asked

"I think its great." He said with a smile to his wife.

"…me too." She said


"I am going to be a grandpa again." Hakoda said reading the letter.

"Katara and Zuko are going to have a baby…?" Gran-gran asked "Finally…" she said reading the letter.

Pakku just laughed. Gran-gran sent back their reply.


Three weeks had passed since Katara's bleed, and she was getting used to the attention. She had what ever reading and food brought to her, occasional she was aloud to walk herself to the bath room to bathe and to take a potty break. It wasn't as horrible as once thought to be.

Zuko came in with three different letters, all quite lengthy. All three letters included tips and expectations about the coming months in the pregnancy.

"Gran-gran said if I am hot a lot or find the delivery to be especially long the baby will be a fire bender." She said to Zuko sitting next to her.

"Really…is that true?" He asked

"Probably not…" Katara said with a smile. "But Suki said that all her labors were over 5 hours…she blames it on Sokka's hard headed and stubbornness." Katara laughed

"What is so funny?"

"I might be in labor for a while then…we are both hardheaded and stubborn."

Zuko nodded in agreement.

"Toph said that if you carry high it's a girl but if it's low then it's a boy."

"…I have heard that one…and I think it's mostly true." Zuko said.

"Where have you heard that one?" Katara asked

"The Council member's…daughters and daughters-in-law, talking about their grandchildren and the pregnancies."

"Oh…" Katara said nodding her head.

"You know what we need…names…" she said

"You are right I didn't even think of names." He said

"What do you like…?" He asked her

"Well I only know traditional Water tribe names." She said

"I only know traditional Fire Nation names." He said back to her

"This could be harder than once thought." She said
