Hey everyone! I decided to keep going on this story and then to make a second one! Hope you enjoy! :D
It's been 6 months since I've seen Zuko or Sokka. The war has ended and Iroh now runs his own tea shop in the upper ring. I still haven't heard from Zuko… I saw him once but he avoided me and acted like I didn't exist. That broke my heart completely. I have yet to see Sokka but he kept his promise. I usually got two or three letters a week from him. His letters brighten my day constantly but they also make me feel guilty… I've been keeping a big secret from him. It was time to tell him my secret though he was stopping by today. Sia and the girls had come back to the house and we were able to fix it up into a really nice home. Memories of Zuko and I still haunt me at times, but it's nice to have a full house to distract me. I was sitting in the backyard when I heard a knock at the door and Luna answered. I heard Sokka's voice and smiled. "She's in the backyard." Luna said. I could hear his footsteps coming closer and my heart began to race. He slid the back door open and closed it quietly. "Kail." He said softly. "Stop right there Sokka." I said clearly. "Ok… what's wrong?" he asked confused. " I have to tell you… show you something. You have to promise me you won't freak out." I said quietly. "Ok… what's up Kail…" He said taking a step towards me. "Stop! You have to promise you won't freak out first!" I said sternly as tears began to sting my eyes. "Kail you have my word… now tell me what's wrong!" He said a bit more alarmed. I let out the breath I had been holding and stood up and turned to face him. His eyes almost fell to the floor as he took me in. "Kail? How?... Why? Who? Pregnant?" He asked as him mouth hit the floor. He quickly recovered himself and tried to smile. "You're pregnant?" He asked quietly. "Yes… It's Zuko's…" I said softly as I felt the baby kick. Sokka took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Does he know?" He asked studying me. "No… I tried to tell him once but he ignored me and then I saw him with a girl…" I said softly as my tears turned into soft sobs. I buried my face in my hands as the sobs shook my body. "Oh Kail!" Sokka said closing the distance between us and scooping me up in a giant hug. I wrapped my arms around his neck and let his calm, goofy, warmth fill me. "It's going to be ok Kail." He said softly as he brushed some of my hair away from my face. I looked up at him and met his blue eyes. "How can anything be ok! What man is going to want a ruined woman… Zuko obviously doesn't want me." I hiccupped. Sokka held me tighter and kissed the top of my head. "Is that all that's wrong? You're just worried that no one's going to want you or love you? You have no concern at all about pushing out the baby or being a mother?" he asked as a smirk pulled at his lips. "No the being a mom thing scares the hell out of me… but you don't see the looks and stares I get when I'm at work or walking to the market… they look at me like I'm a freak." I said burring my face in his chest. "Kail look at me." He said lifting my face so I was force to look into his eyes. "You are not a ruined girl. You are a young girl that fell in love with a weird broody guy… you thought that the two of you were going to be together forever, but it didn't work out that way. You're not a freak you're just pregnant." He explained as he began to wipe away my tears. I took a deep shaky breath and tried to gain control of my emotions. "How did I get lucky enough to meet you?" I asked with a laugh. "I would blame Momo… But I'm really glad that he stole my boomerang and led me to you that day." He said smiling down at me "Kail on a serious note you do need to tell Zuko…. I could go with you if you want." Sokka said taking my hand and giving it a squeeze. "Promise you'll go with me?" I asked looking up at him. "Of course! Zuko's at Iroh's tea shop now." He said dragging me towards the door. I pushed back my fear and followed Sokka to see Zuko.
