11. Morning Sickness

Zuko had been gone for about a month. Katara had been counting down the days till his possible retune. Sokka and Iroh had dropped by just a few minutes ago with a letter they had received from Zuko with and attachment for her.

Now she was eating breakfast as she read the letter.

Dear Katara,

How are you? Has anything interesting happened in the month I have been gone?

Nothing too interesting has happened here. I've had to attend at least one war meeting a day, and they last for three hours and more!

Anyways, Kaji Arashi is a beautiful city. I very much wish to take you here so you can see it as well some time. But that will have to wait, for now.

It looks like I'm staying for about seven months up here… unfortunately.

I'm already missing you more than I can bare, hopefully your letters will keep me sane.

Let me know how things are going. I want to know what happens. If anyone is giving you trouble, tell me and tell your brother and my Uncle. Don't let anything bad happen to you while I'm not there to look after you.

Anyway, I miss you so much. I hope to hear from you soon.

Love always, Zuko.

P.S. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you…you get the picture!

Katara laughed and cried at the same time, as she read her husbands letter. She finished her breakfast and realized that there was a sharp pain in her stomach. She clutched her stomach as she headed back up to her room.

The Fire Lady lay down on the bed and tried to ignore the pain, but it just kept getting worse and worse until…

"Uh oh…"

She dashed to the bathroom where she threw up in the toilet.

"Katara?" Sokka's voice came, as her brother entered the room, "hey, are you alright?"

He came and knelt down next to his sister.

"Maybe you should take the day off," he suggested, "you looked alright this morning. What's brought this on? Or are you just missing your boyfriend that much?" He nudged her in the ribs and she laughed.

"He's not my boyfriend," she reminded him, "he's my husband."

"And I'm a lemur," he joked. But he stopped and put a hand on her back, "What's up with you?"

Katara racked her brains, trying to think of why she was feeling so horrible so suddenly. She just suddenly had this morning sickness…

She gasped.

"Sokka! I think I'm pregnant!"

"Huh?! Again?!" he blurted. "But how?! Zuko's been gone for a month!"

"The night before he left, we… uh…"

"Please, say no more! I really don't want the details of your relationship with your boyfriend!" he cut her off.

"Husband!"

"Right!"

There was silence for a moment and Sokka – being Sokka – was the first to break it.

"Do… do you really think you're pregnant?" he asked in disbelief.

"Well, this is pretty much how I felt when I was pregnant on the pirate ship… minus the see sickness."

Sokka sighed.

"I'll get Iroh to make you some ginseng tea; that ought to make you feel better."

He stood and left.

Pregnant?! She thought to herself, half joyfully half exasperatedly.

With Zuko not there, this was going to be one bumpy ride.
