Enjoy!


"I don't see why this is such a big deal." Zuko said crossing his arms as Katara stood with her hands on her hips.

They were at her house, Sokka was out for the day and Katara wanted to have Zuko and Lu Ten over. They had lunch together and were currently standing by the kitchen where Katara was trying to convince Zuko to give Lu Ten his first haircut.

"Because, Zuko! I don't want Lu Ten looking like a slob when we go visit your parents!" Katara said.

He narrowed his eyes "Are you trying to say my child looks like a slob?"

"It's just a hair trim Zuko, it's not like I'm shaving his head. I mean look at him, he can barely see, his bangs are covering his eyes." She said pointing down at the baby who was playing with his toys, stopping once in awhile to rub his eyes.

He sighed, as always Katara was right, he did need a haircut. "Alright fine, but just a trim, I like his hair."

Katara rolled her eyes "You just like the fact that he looks exactly like you." She said and picked up the baby and set him in his high chair.

"And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, now we'll know he'll grow up into a hot guy." He said smiling proudly.

Katara sniggered and went to grab her scissors "Let's just hope he doesn't grow up to be a grump."

Zuko narrowed his eyes "I won't even comment on that."

She giggled and made her way to the baby "Okay Zuko, I'm going to need you to stand infront of Lu Ten and keep him distracted while I cut the hair."

He nodded and smiled down at his son, Lu Ten looked up at his father and gave him a toothy grin. Zuko could see tiny teeth beginning to show. He made weird faces causing the baby to laugh and clap his hands.

Katara giggled as she cautiously cut the hair. After a few minutes she was finished and smiled at her work. She turned to Zuko and grinned "Well what do you think?" she asked.

Zuko smiled at Lu Ten, his hair was only a few inches shorter but still had that shaggy hair. He nodded his head "Nice work babe."

Katara picked up the baby and set him down near his toys so he can resume playing. She and Zuko sat on the couch and watched silently.

"Are you nervous?" he asked turning to her.

She sighed and laid her head on his shoulder "What if they don't like me?"

He chuckled and kissed her head "They'll love you, well my mother would. Don't get offended by my father and sister though, they don't really like anyone."

"Your right, I'm worrying over nothing."

Zuko smiled "That's right, its nothing. This will probably be the only time my family will get together."

Katara looked up at him and grinned "That's a relief, sort of." She said shrugging.

"I'm home." Sokka called out from the front door.

"In the living room." Katara called out.

"Hey Jerkbender." Sokka said plopping down on the couch.

Zuko rolled his eyes "Sup Sokka."

"Where have you been?" Katara asked turning to her brother.

He shrugged "Oh you know running some errands, hanging out with Suki, nothing much."

"You still haven't proposed to her?" Zuko asked.

"Hey, it's not as easy as it sounds! Whenever I manage to get the courage to ask her, she does something adorable and I end up babbling like a freak."

Zuko chuckled and wrapped his arm around Katara's shoulders "You always babble like a freak Sokka."

The blue eyed boy glared and was about to respond before the door bell interrupted. "Go get it." Katara ordered looking at Sokka.

He grumbled and got up from the couch "Stupid sisters always telling me what to do. I'm 23 years old."

Sokka opened the door annoyed "What?" His eyes widened as the man in front of him chuckled "Hello to you Sokka."

"Dad?" he asked and smiled before opening the door wider.

"Are you going to invite me in?" he asked with amusement.

Sokka stepped to the side and gestured for him to enter "What are you doing here? I thought you were in the coast of Japan?"

Hakota smiled "We were, a few months ago. Havent you been reading my letters?"

He scratched the back of his head sheepishly "Sorry, I've been caught up with work and such."

"Where is Katara?"

Sokka rolled his eyes "In the living room."

They walked into the sitting room and Katara was on the floor playing with Lu Ten. Hakota's eyes widened, what was she doing with a baby, it didn't even look a year old. "Who was at the door Sok-" she looked up and gasped "Dad!"

Getting up from her spot she ran over to her father and put her arms around him. He chuckled and forgot about the baby playing on the floor and focused on his little girl who was laughing with joy.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Sokka asked me the same thing, honestly don't you guys ever read my letters?"

Katara giggled and brought her dad in for another hug "No matter I'm glad you're here daddy."

Zuko awkwardly stood from the couch and pick up his son. Hakota noticed the boy and pulled away from Katara.

"Who is this Katara?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

Glancing nervously at Zuko, Katara smiled and her father and went to stand by her boyfriend, holding his hand "Dad, this is my boyfriend Zuko. Zuko this is my father General Hakota."

Narrowing his eyes Hakota held his hand out "Pleasure to meet you."

"You too Sir." He said shaking his hand trying not to wince at Hakota's killer grip. Lu Ten started giggling before holding his arms out to Katara "Ta-ta!"

Smiling Katara bent down and picked up the child. Hakota glared at Zuko, tightening his grip causing Zuko to wince.

"And he is?"

Zuko gulped "He's my son."

"Katara? Is there something you want to tell me?" Hakota asked releasing Zuko's hand and crossing his own.

"Um no?" she said.

"Who is his mother?" Hakota growled out.

Katara's eyes widened before she laughed out loud "No dad, Lu Ten is not my son, well I treat him like he is but he's not mine by blood."

Letting out a sigh of relief Hakota uncrossed his arms "I'm sorry I just assumed.." he said trailing off "He looks like you a little Kat."

Zuko rose an eye brow, Lu Ten did not resemble Katara at all, at least from his view. Part of him was relieved that Lu Ten had very few traits of his mother in him.

"It's okay daddy." Katara said bouncing the baby on her hip "Your reaction wasn't as bad as Sokka's" she said rolling her eyes.

"What did you expect!" Sokka said from the couch "You worked as a night babysitter and then ended up dating your boss who turned out to be my best friend!"

"Ah so this is the young man who hired you." Hakota said.

Chuckling Zuko rubbed the back of his neck "Yeah that's me."

Lu Ten reached out to Hakota and smiled. Hakota unsure what to do looked at Katara who nodded her head "It's okay dad, he just wants you to hold him."

Taking the baby from her Hakota smiled as Lu Ten looked at him curiously running his tiny fingers across the scars on his face, the ones he got from being out in the service.

Yawning Lu Ten closed his eyes and snuggled his head onto the large man's neck. Hakota smiled gently and rubbed the top of the baby's head like he used to do to towards the couch he sat down and took his own nap with Lu Ten laying on his chest.

Katara smiled and grabbed Zuko's hand, who was standing with his mouth open, before whispering to him "I think he approves."

Zuko smiled and bent down to kiss her forehead, now all they had to do was get his families approval.


Aw Hakota and Lu Ten moment! How adorable.

Another person to fall for Lu Ten's cuteness.
