Had a request for some Kataang goodness...here it is :)

The road to Ba Sing Se was longer than anyone in the crew could remember. Sokka said it was because Appa was actually here but they could fly since he was carrying the captive agents. Toph blamed Sokka's bad attitude, but Aang felt it was his raging hormones that made his trip longer. It had been days since he and Katara were alone and his body was getting very anxious. Katara could feel Aang's anxiety and it only fueled her own. To distract herself she would talk with Ursa about Zuko but Ursa was reluctant to talk about some things. When Suki asked why she was banished Ursa only hung her head and said,

"That conversation is going to have to wait for when I see my son."

Nobody questioned her about it after that. Instead they regaled her with stories of their adventures and someone always had to remind Sokka not to speak too negatively about anyone from the fire nation especially about her children and husband. Ursa would just smile as everyone quieted down after a comment but the conversation never stopped. The instant they saw the wall they all jumped up onto Appa and he reluctantly flew the rest of the way to Iroh's tea shop. Appa landed outside the entrance and it was late afternoon and the shop was busy with customers. They all climbed down and everybody inside the shop looked out and came stampeding towards their group.

They were assaulted with cries of congratulations and cheers. Aang took it good heartedly but he kept a firm arm around Katara afraid he would get lost within the crowd of people. Iroh beckoned them inside without noticing Ursa among the group. He dismissed the rest of his customers and employees closing up shop for the day.

"Glad you made it here and in one piece too," Iroh reached for Aang embracing him.

"Yes it's good to be back here, I see you traveled safely, any problems or attacks?" Aang asked.

"None," Iroh answsered.

He scanned the rest of the group and noticed the addition. His eyebrows furrowed as he studied her,

"I can't believe it, is that you Ursa?" Iroh asked softly.

"Hello Iroh, it's very good to see you again," Ursa answered softly.

Iroh was in her arms in a second embracing his sister in law. Ursa's eyes shed tears of joy as she inhaled his familiar scent and took in his new form.

"You have been working out…I can't believe how long it's been since I have seen you," Ursa wiped more tears on her sleeve and Iroh handed her a hankie.

"Yes it's been too long…where were you?" Iroh asked her but glanced at the gang around him.

"Iroh I think that story is going to take some tea and food," Sokka answered.

"Yes I believe it will, would anyone like to help me?"

"I will," Katara answered kissing Aang on the cheek.

Aang was about to sit down when Toph walked up to him, "Hey we need to get those agents down from Appa before they go missing."

"You're right."

Aang followed her out and as soon as they opened the doors they were again assaulted by the crowd of people who were told to leave the shop. Aang's smile grew strained as he tried to walk to Appa. More people were trying to offer money and other various things to improve their standing with the Avatar, Toph having grown up in this kind of society new exactly how to handle this situation.

"Alright everyone needs to leave right now before I make you leave!" she shouted and stomped the ground making it tremble beneath them.

Many of the women screamed and ran down the stairs and the others slowly backed away trying to just call her bluff.

"They are still here Toph," Aang whispered quietly.

Toph stamped her foot again but this time bended three rocks from the ground. With another swipe of her foot she found the remaining peoples locations and shot a rock in their general direction. And with that they scatter.

Aang breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks."

"Anytime," she smiled under her bangs.

Appa was lying on the ground with his eyes closed. Aang petted his snout then bended up into the saddle. He summoned a current of air and hoisted the Dai Li agents off Appa's back. Toph sent earth spikes up to help lower the agents back to the ground before slowly bringing them inside.

Iroh looked up and his eyes went wide, "Did you guys capture them?"

"Well we found a group of them attacking the city of Chin and Katara froze them. Since then they have been our prisoners," Aang answered.

"We need a place to put them and we need to let the palace guards know so they can come take them off our hands," Toph comments leaning them up against the wall.

Iroh noticed they were shivering, "What did you do to them?"

"Well we kept them frozen so they would try learning to metal bend, don't worry we have been keeping them fed, even though they were a little cold," Aang said but was now starting to feel guilty.

"I see, well I guess under the circumstances it was necessary."

Iroh walked into the back storage room wrote a quick not then attached it to a hawk and sent it flying towards the palace. Katara brought the tea over to the table then walked back bringing in sandwiches.

Suki was the first to take a handful of sandwiches and she instantly began stuffing her face. Sokka was at a complete food stand still as he watched her.

Suki looked up at him, "What?" she asked with her mouth full.

"You're eating like me? It's just weird…" He answered taking a bite slowly.

"I'm pregnant what do you expect? I'm feeding two people now!" she exclaimed getting a little emotional.

"Whoa what did I do to deserve that kind of treatment?" Sokka threw his hands in the air scooting away from her a little.

"Don't worry Sokka," Ursa smiled, "Emotional reactions are a part of pregnancy. Just be extra nice to her during the first trimester."

Sokka nodded, "Thanks for the tip."

"Have you been experiencing any moods swings Katara?" Ursa asked her while sipping her tea.

"Ummm, I'm not sure I guess," Katara looked at Aang.

"You seem pretty normal to me, but I'll let you know if you start going crazy," Aang grinned at her winking.

Katara playfully hit him on the shoulder and smiled.

"Guard are coming," Toph announced. She stood and walked over to the captives , "Wake up boys!" she yelled at the Dai Li agents smacking the metal.

They glared down at her but she couldn't see it. Haru opened the door and a small troop of 10 guards entered the Jasmine Dragon.

"General Iroh we have come as you requested," the Captain said bowing to him.

"Those formalities are not needed Captain you know that," Iroh said smiling.

"My apologies but your reputation does precede you."

Iroh just nodded before showing them the agents, "The Avatar and his group were lucky enough to capture two of the rebellion's Dai Li agents. They need to be contained in metal or wooden cells."

"Not to interrupt but the last time they were kept in wooden cells it made it easier for Azula to free them, we should probably stick with metal," Sokka interjected.

"I think you are right, Captain do you have any cells available?" Iroh asked.

"Yes sir we are just going to need to defrost them and place them inside," The Captian said.

"I don't think defrosting them is a good idea…not yet at least," Aang said.

"Aang these men have been in this condition for a few days now…" Iroh started.

"Yes they have but they are Dai Li agents, masters at earth bending, and no offense to you Captian but the moment they have a chance to escape they are going to try and take it."

Katara smiled and Toph punched him in the arm, "Way to be unmovable," she said.

Aang smiled at her but turned his attention again to Iroh and the Captain, "I will accompany you to their cells with Toph we can't take any chances of letting our leads get away."

"Yes Avatar," the Captain bowed then signaled for his men to take up position around the captured men.

They bended an earth sled and began walking out toward the prison in the palace.

Aang turned back towards the group, "We will be right back, Haru come with us we may need another earth bender." Haru jumped up and they left with the Captain and his troop.

That night Katara and Aang were lying together on their bed above the tea shop just enjoying each other's company.

"You don't think they will escape again do you?" Katara asked rubbing her stomach.

"No they seemed well secured. If I can't even metal and the only metal bender around is blind and bends differently than others I feel pretty confident. But…" Aang stopped running a hand over his face.

"But what?" Katara asked sitting up.

"I dunno, I kinda feel bad about leaving them in that ice for so long…"

"Hey it's alright, you did the right thing. It's like you said earlier any chance that they could have escaped they were going to take." Katara traced his cheek and Aang closed his eyes welcoming her tender touch.

"I know but still, I don't want to become a monster and needlessly inflict pain on others…"

"You are not and will not be a monster. I won't allow it." Katara said firmly.

Aang opened his eyes and saw what her spirit was confirming, fierce determination. He smiled at her taking her hand from his cheek and kissing it.

"I'm glad that I have you looking out for me."

"I will always be there for you, I love you." She whispered fervently.

"And I love you."

Aang pulled her face towards him and kissed her. Katara rotated her body so that she was now lying on top of him with both her hands cupping his face. She could feel his body heat beginning to rise and she smiled inside knowingly.

Aang loved the way her body felt on top of his. He could feel every inch of her including the small baby bump. His hands were busy pressing her closer to him as she inserted her tongue in his mouth. Aang could feel where this was going and he had been waiting many days for this.

Katara pulled away before Aang could take control of the situation and she sat up near the end of the bed. Aang propped himself up on his elbows smiling at her.

"Are you going to tease me?"

"Maybe," she winked at him.

Aang laughed at her playfulness but sat up and started crawling towards her. Katara licked her lips then grabbed Aang's head pulling it back towards her. Aang sat up on his knees pulling his beloved wife with him and assaulted her mouth. Katara responded with eagerness as her hands drifted down to the edge of his shirt. She gently began untying his sash making sure to run her fingers across his skin before she would disrobe him.

Aang was getting impatient he wanted to have her now. His hands left her back and began untying the sash that held her robe together with clumsy fingers. Katara started inching his tunic up to take it off which distracted Aang for a second then he resumed his work. Once the robe was untied Aang sent a small blast of air upward blowing the robe off her body. Katara giggled holding Aang at arm's length.

"Impatient much?" she asked.

"It's been days since we have been alone together; you can't say you don't feel the same urgency," Aang said seductively and placed his hands on hers leading them down his chest.

Katara smiled wickedly and lunged at her lover. She pressed her half naked body against his shivering with delight as his hands left trails of fire along her back. Her body was getting more and more lustful the longer they stayed embraced. Aang felt her body beginning to change and decided to help it along more by creating a trail of kisses along her neck. Katara sighed heavily, her breasts pressing closer against his body, and she held his head against her neck reveling in the feeling. Aang ran his hands higher up on her back and he searched for the end of her bindings. Aang leaned his chest away from her as he unwrapped her but continued his attentions to her neck. Once she was uncovered he grabbed her breasts and kissed her fiercely. Katara melted into his arms and started working her hands into his pants where he was hardening. Aang's breathing hitched when she grasped him and both of his hands fell away from her. Katara stopped kissing him and looked down to see he was removing his pants. She smiled and took off her own under bindings. She crawled back up to him her hair cascading around her body.

Aang took a second to admire the beauty before him; her silky smooth skin and ocean blue eyes, her sun kissed skin and chocolate brown hair. This woman was his and he couldn't be happier. Katara could sense a change in the mood and she scrunched her eyebrows curiously.

"A few seconds ago you were as ravenous as a starving platypus bear what changed?"

"Just looking at you, every time I realize how lucky I am to have you in my life."

Katara blushed at his comment and gently lay down on top of his body.

"You're everything to me Aang, I will never be able to tell you how much I love you."

Aang ran his fingers through her hair before bringing her face closer kissing her again. Katara traced the muscles in his arms and chest, but didn't get the reaction she was looking for.

"Am I to understand Avatar that your desires have changed?" she asked teasingly.

"No, Sifu, in fact they are quite the same," he answered flipping her over so that he was now on top.

Katara giggled to herself pushing her hair out of her face.

"Let me show you how the Avatar pleases his lady."

Aang's hips were against Katara's and she tightened in anticipation for the pleasure. Aang saw that lustful look in her eye and positioned himself at her entrance and cupped her neck. Then slowly holding onto his wife he pushed himself into her. Katara let out a gasp as her walls contracted around him. Aang let out a long sigh as his animal instinct took over his body. He moved in and out of her slowly torturing them both with hormonal pleasure.

"Oh Aang," Katara breathed, "More…"

Aang steadily increased his tempo lying closer to her body. Katara moaned softly then pulled his lips closer to hers tasting him again. Aang's breath grew ragged as he continued to pleasure his wife and himself.

"More…" Katara breathed again.

Aang complied and beat a fast tempo in and out, and then he suddenly stopped. Katara whined and started moving her hips against his.

"Now now it's not fair for me to be happy if you're not also happy," Aang said. He leaned his head down and squeezed one of her breasts. Katara arched her back making his member slide in and out of her. Aang smiled as he placed her breast into his mouth and began sucking on it. Katara swung her head side to side growling softly at him.

"Aang don't stop," she gasped in pleasure.

His other hand cupped her other breasts and he began playing with the nipple eliciting and even stronger reaction from Katara.

"Don't stop, please don't stop," she begged feeling her climax coming.

Aang started thrusting in and out of her again but had to stop his attentions on her breast so that he could breath. Katara whined as soon as he stopped and replaced both of his hands back on them. Aang continued playing with her nipples and Katara hooked her legs around his hips making sure he kept thrusting inside of her. Her body tightened as her climax came then a second later she completely relaxed enjoying the feeling of her orgasm. Aang smiled kissing her forehead then stroked her flushed cheeks.

"Now I can finish," he whispered taking control again.

Katara's body was still under the influence of her orgasm which was only intensified when he began thrusting inside of her again. She let out a loud gasp but was quickly silenced by his lips.

"Shhhh my love we don't want to wake the neighbors," he laughed softly.

"Don't stop," was her only reply.

Aang could feel his seed gathering and moved faster and faster into her. Katara's body was putty in his hands and she knew the moment he went because he froze and she could feel him pulsating inside of her.

Aang relaxed his body and took himself out of her. She moved slightly but otherwise stayed still underneath him.

Aang kissed her forehead and tried rolling off but she kept him in place. Instead he propped himself up with his elbows gazing at her beautiful face. Katara was still breathing a little heavy and her body was exhausted but she smiled a sweet smile and pulled him in closer for a soft kiss.

"I love you Aang."

"I love you Katara."

The cells were actually nicer than the small rooms they were living in with the rebellion. The two agents knew their time spent in these cages would be a welcomed reprieve. But there was also a limited chance of them actually being able to escape. Their cells were across from each other, they were stuck in the metal prison not 5 cells away from where Long Feng had been imprisoned when the Avatar was in Ba Sing Se. Their hands were bound at the wrists with tightly woven rope which limited their chances of metal bending, if they could even figure it out in the first place.

The door to the prison opened ringing through the metal tomb. The two agents glanced at each other through the windows in their doors. A hooded figure approached them not revealing his face.

"Are you injured can you move?" the cloaked figure asked.

"We are uninjured but we will not be moved," the agent on the left side.

"We cannot allow you to remain here where you will be tortured and giving up information," the cloaked figure turned to the agent that spoke.

"Torture we can handle and we will only be giving information to our allies and not our enemies," the Dai Li agent smiled.

"What information do you have?"

"Let the Firelord Azula know that Avatar and his bride are expecting a child," Both of the agents laughed softly but menacingly.

The cloaked figure joined them in their laughter as he turned and left the metal prison.

The meetings were getting more trying on Azula. She started to hate being couped up in her room and with Ozai's help she decided that it was ok for people to see her pregnant. This also enabled her to receive extra help from other midwives as her pregnancy grew to be more strenuous. It was confirmed by other women that she was carrying twins and by the size of her stomach she wasn't going to be carrying them to full term. Ling and her mother were the only women who were constantly attending her but there were plenty of women on standby should she go into labor. Azula hoped it would be soon since her stomach had dropped a couple days ago.

This meeting was about the raiding parties and the little resources they were bringing in for their army.

"We have found a ranch near the edge of our mountain range. The owner is an earth kingdom citizen that has been badly wounded by the end of the war. His fields have been able to produce a fair amount of food that was used to feed our armies during the war and it is the most important resource we are in need of now. He is willing to supply us food as long as we pay him," Lee said setting down the agent's report.

"What kind of payment is he thinking about getting?" Ozai asked.

"Gold I believe but I think we can rearrange the payment type," Ozai pulled on his trimmed beard, "Does he have family on the ranch?"

Lee glanced back again at the report, "No, his wife passed away during the war. He only hires out workers, other than that he is alone."

"Excellent. Lee, Torin gather any members of our group that are farmers. Forge fake title paper for this ranch and kill him. Until the Avatar ceases his search for us this will be our main source of food. Azula what is the status with the Avatar?"

"He is in Ba Sing Se with the two captured agents. I sent some men over there to free them they should be back in the next day or two," she answered rubbing her stomach.

"Good, we don't need them giving anything away. How are the plans coming with the dragon hunt?"

"We have a few locations we're considering for our scouts they only need your approval," Torin handed Ozai a copy of their locations for him to look over.

Ozai took a minute to look them over, "Seems you are considering places in the Earth Kingdom."

"Yes we are thinking this may be the way they have been surviving for so long," Torin answered.

"Seems like a good idea but I think we need to also consider the Fire Nation as well, just because they weren't seen there doesn't mean they aren't."

"Yes sir."

Azula shifted in her seat and sighed heavily.

"I believe that is our cue to adjourn until later," Ozai stood offering his hand to Azula.

She hated these small actions but her weakened body demanded that she take any form of comfort that she can. She stood slowly and was instantly flanked by Ling and Ari (Yes I changed it again…someone said her named made them think of Star Wars which was not good). They walked slowly back to the room where she laid down on her bed.

"How much longer?" Azula asked.

"Days my lady," Ari answered.

"Will they be healthy?' Ozai asked looking at Ari.

"If she keeps eating and resting and not bending the children will be fine," Ari answered taking off Azula's shoes.

Ozai nodded then left the room without another word. Azula welcomed the silence and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning she was ravenous with hunger. Ling had always made sure to have a meal ready for her at all hours of the day. Azula grunted as she sat up in bed tossing her head back in exhaustion. Ari was just filling the tub with luke warm water as Ling approached her offering her hand. Azula glared at her as she took her offered hand. She ate the same food everyday; oatmeal with honey, soups for lunch, and light meats for dinner with fruits at every meal. She normally spent her days in solitude only venturing out when she needed to move her aching body around a bit. Except this morning she had a visitor.

A loud pounding came on her door and she cursed at the sudden loud noise. Ling answered.

"I need to speak with the Firelord I have new intel concerning the Avatar," a cloaked man said.

Ling looked at Azula and she nodded her head. Ling opened the door wider inviting him in.

"My Lady," the man knelt down on one knee.

"Reveal yourself," she commanded.

Placing his other knee on the ground he reached his hands up and removed his hood.

"Ahh Shane good to see you again," Azula extended her hand and he kissed it.

"So what is this news that you have?"

"I have made contact with the captured Dai Li agents and tried to release them…" he started.

"Well seems to me you already failed since they are not here with you," Azula commented sipping her water.

"They asked me not to set them free," she said ignoring the interruption.

"What! Why?"

"They said they would be put to better use if they remained there to gather intel. They said that no amount of torture would make them reveal anything about the rebellion."

Azula sat silent for a minute thinking, "So this intel that they are talking about?"

"You will enjoy this My Lady, the Avatar and his wife are expecting their first child." Shane looked up grinning wickedly at her.

Azula's wicked smile spread across her face as her laughter ringed through the halls of their underground fortress.
