I'm Just Your Problem Chapter 25

I do not own Avatar The Last Airbender or any of its characters or the title or the song "I'm Just Your Problem" by Rebecca Sugar

*This fanfiction is not related to Adventure Time I was listening to this song while thinking of this story idea and it stuck

"Uh he's so annoying!" Kiyi yelled as she stomped down the hallway.

"But you love him anyway," I said as I walked beside her.

"That doesn't excuse anything!" she rebuffed. "Jian has to learn to stick up for himself sometimes."

"But that what he has you for," I responded. "You're the yin to his yang."

"Well this yin has had enough of yang!" she exclaimed.

I chuckled at my younger sister's remarks about her boyfriend. Jian was the very same boy whom had flirted with her when we were performing firebending tricks at the festival… that was eleven years ago. I didn't know that he was also one of the children that had been kidnapped alongside her until recently. Apparently he was hitting on her during their capture as well. They were meant for each other.

"You'll go back to him soon enough."

"Not this time!"

She always said that whenever they went through times like this so far. By this time I had lost count.

"Kiyi!" Mother called. "Jian is here to see you!"

"I'm coming!" she said. "Tell him to meet me in the guest room next to the kitchen!"

"Okay dear!" Mother replied.

I was about to make a comment about her relationship with Jian until she playfully glared at me.

"Yeah I love him so what?" she said as she started to prance.

"I didn't say anything."

"You were thinking it."

I playfully gasped and looked at her with a shocked expression.

"Who me?" I asked. "Never."

Kiyi laughed and started to run towards her destination until she suddenly stopped and came running back towards me. She leaned down to my growing belly and kissed it.

"She's a pain but she's a good mother my nephew or niece," she said.

"Hey don't tell them that you little hog monkey!" I said as I playfully swatted at her.

I avoided her on purpose and she ran giggling down the hallway while sticking her tongue out at me. I shook my head at her with a smile on my face and then walked down the same hallway to meet with the medical staff. Along the way I ran into Mother and Father… Ikem that is. After eleven years he deserved that title. They had aged well into an older couple that still held the same love for each other. They smiled once they saw me.

"We just saw Kiyi running down here and figured you were with her," Father said.

"I was Father but I was on my way to the infirmary right now," I said as I rubbed my womb.

Mother looked worried all of a sudden.

"Is something wrong with you or the baby?" she asked.

"No we're fine it's just that they wanted me come for a checkup especially since the time draws near for the baby to be born," I explained.

"Oh thank goodness, I know you will have a healthy child Azula. After all look at how energetic Izumi is," Mother commented.

"Energetic might be an understatement Mother, she's more like out of control and she's only two years old!" I exclaimed.

They laughed and I did too until I felt a something hit me. Or rather someone. I gasped a little and I held my stomach.

"Are you alright?" Father asked.

I looked down at my belly with a smile and then looked back at Father.

"Your grandchild just kicked me," I said with the same smile. "Already showing the attitude of a firebender or at least that's what their father says."

Father placed a hand on my belly and he was rewarded with a firm kick. I gasped a little again.

"Sure seems like it," he joked. "I can't wait to have another grandchild."

"Of course you are, after all you like to spoil them Ikem," Mother responded.

"What's wrong with wanting to spoil my grandchildren?" he asked.

"Why nothing although I can't help but feel like you're trying to be the number one grandparent," she said.

"Oh it's all in your head Ursa although I would win if this was a contest for best grandparent," Father stated as he stood proudly.

"You keep telling yourself that mister," she replied as she playfully glared at him and then she turned back to me. "We'll see you see after your checkup Azula right now your brother wants us to watch over Izumi while he attends a meeting with Mai. I'm sure Iroh will stop by for a visit later as well, he said something about a new tea discovery."

"That sounds like Uncle Iroh, I'll see you all later then," I said as I continued to walk down the hallway.

Those two made excellent grandparents, they had proven that when Izumi was born. Izumi, my niece, and the daughter of Zuko and Mai. As well as the heir to the Fire Nation's throne. She was a very outgoing child who loved challenges as well as watching firebending and yet she could be a little stubborn. I walked into the infirmary and was greeted by the doctors.

"Greetings Princess Azula, you're just in time for your checkup. Have a seat please."

I nodded and took a seat; I waited for the medical staff to work their magic. The doctor felt my stomach and listened for a heartbeat. He also looked over me just to be sure I was healthy as well.

"Any complications or concerns you might have?' he asked.

"None just the occasional vomiting and cravings," I said.

"Good as long as there are no complications your baby is going to be healthy and strong, he or she kicks like an ostrich horse."

"Or like a firebender that's what their father always tells me."

"Will have to wait and see when the time comes."

"Yes we will."

"Well it looks like everything checks out okay; you should be ready to give birth in about in a week and a half, two weeks at the latest. When that happens be sure to inform us so we can make sure the birth goes well."

"Don't I will," I said as I stood up. "Have a good day."

"You too Princess Azula."

I walked to the courtyard where the turtle duck pond was. I sat down on the wooden bench and stared at the mother turtle duck and her young. I watched as they followed her around and how she protected them. I hoped that I would be a good mother especially when years before I couldn't see myself as one. But now that I carried this little life in my womb it felt right and like things were the way they were supposed to be.

"Don't worry little one, I'll protect you and love you dearly," I said to my belly.

"And so will I," a voice said.

I looked up to see my husband with a smile on his face.

"Kei Lo," I greeted.

"Azula," he responded.

I moved over onto one side of the bench so he could sit down. Once he sat he did what he always did now these days. He placed his head next to my stomach and wrapped one of his arms around me while the other held my womb.

"Come out soon little one so I can see you," he said. "Daddy can't wait forever."

"Oh another week or so won't kill you."

"But I want to know what we're having," he commented. "What do you think? A boy or a girl?"

I chuckled at his impatience and ran my hand through his brown hair.

"We'll see when the time comes," I replied. "As long as the baby is healthy I don't care what gender it is."

"I know but I can't help but wonder," Kei Lo responded. "Either way they're going to be spoiled."

"With you as their father I know they will."

We shared a laugh and then we felt our baby move in my womb. I rubbed my stomach and Kei Lo hugged it.

"They're going to have so many friends," Kei Lo commented. "Especially when Katara and Aang are expecting their second child."

"Katara said she wants a girl this time," I remarked.

"I heard her say the same thing as well. Then there's their first child, Bumi. And then there's their cousin Izumi. Also there's Sokka's and Suki's twin son and daughter, Yui and Yue. So many playmates."

"Our child will never be alone," I said.

"Especially when we're their parents," Kei Lo said as he leaned close to my face. "I love you Azula."

"I love you too Kei Lo."

We kissed and held hands. This is paradise. I had everything I wanted in my life. Family, friends, a husband and soon a child. A child that would extend this family. The family that are doing just fine because we are dedicated to each other. This is all I ever wanted and soon I shall share that with my child. My baby.

"I'm nobody's problem," I whispered as I felt my child's heartbeat.

THE END

Please review and leave comments, thank you for your time.

Hooray! I have finally completed this fanfic! Thank you all for reading it until the end and for reviewing it. I'm thinking about writing an omake to this called "Everything Stays." Yes it's the name of another song on Adventure Time but I feel like "I'm Just Your Problem" and "Everything Stays" are songs that fit Azula at this point. Once again thank you and have a great day! XD
