Ok, here's another chapter of the series. I hope you all enjoy it. Please read and review!

25. Butterfly

"So, how long has it been now?" Sokka asked as his niece walked into the room, patting her pregnant belly.

"Eight and a half months," Yin replied as Sora, Zuko and Katara walked into the room behind her, "I'm due any week now."

"Wow, I thought it made me feel old when I found out I was going to be an uncle… but now I feel ancient!" Sokka exclaimed.

"Well, at least you're not going to be a grandfather," Zuko sighed.

Princess Yin laughed at her father's comment, "You're not old just because you're about to become a granddad."

"Yes, he is!" Katara laughed.

Zuko narrowed his eyes playfully at her, "You're going to be a grandmother!"

The Fire Lady planted her hands on her hips and shrugged her shoulders, "It'll be Gran-Gran Katara, thank you very much."

Fire Lord Zuko laughed a little bit and then lunged at his wife. He grabbed her and pulled her into a tight hug, tracing kisses down her neck and nibbling her ear.

"EW! MUM! DAD! STOP IT!" Yin cringed, "You're going to make me and Sora sick!"

"No, they won't." Sora wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her gently behind the ear. She turned around and kissed his lips.

"Blah," Sokka moaned, "you're all gonna make me sick!"

"Get over yourself, Sokka," Suki giggled as she put her arms around him, "Nodoka is getting married in three months time, and she and Gano will probably have a baby sooner than Yin and Sora did!'"

Sokka sighed, "Well, I guess you're right."

"So, what are we going to call this little bundle of joy when it pops out?" Sora asked. "We can't call it Belly-Balloon forever."

"Yes we can!" Yin laughed, "who says we can't?!"

Sora looked at her in shock for a while. Then, smiling, he said, "I know you don't want to call it that."

Princess Yin smiled lovingly at her husband.

"We'll work it out when it's time."

Zuko and Katara quietly stepped into the room after the nurses and doctors left. Yin was in Sora's arms and in her arms, she held a little bundle, wrapped in a silver, silken blanket.

"Mum, Dad, come on in. Come and meet your granddaughter," she urged them quietly.

The Fire Lord and Fire Lady came to their daughter and son-in-law's bedside and looked adoringly down at the little baby girl in Yin's arms.

"What have you named her?" Katara whispered.

"We've decided to call her Chouchou," Sora whispered, "that was what my parents were going to call me if I had been a girl," he explained.

Zuko sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the little girl who was his granddaughter, "Jeez – now I really do feel old."

Katara patted him comfortingly on the back, "Join the club, hubbie."

"Oh, this is almost exactly like coming into the room when you and Yang were born. Only, this time it's Yin and there's only one baby and I'm not the dad," Zuko sighed as he remembered the birth of his own children.

"Yin, she looks so much like you," Katara goggled softly in excitement.

"Yes, but she has her father's eyes," she told them as the new born blinked sleepily.

It was true; while Yin's eyes were the same gleaming gold as her father's, Chouchou's eyes were the stunning liquid amber of Sora's.

The new little Princess had her mother's and grandmothers brown hair, but it was naturally streaked with black from her father.

"Chouchou's a gorgeous little girl!" Katara whispered happily.

The door creaked open and Odoroki stepped into the room with Nodoka, Gano, Sokka, Suki, Iroh, Aang and Toph.

"Come on you guys; let's leave these two lovebirds with their newborn. We'll take another look at her later," Zuko pointed everyone out of the door as he and Katara stood up.

They all left the room again and left Yin and Sora with Chouchou.

Katara linked her arm around Zuko's, "Yin is really growing up, isn't she?"

"Well, she is twenty-one," Zuko reminded her.

"We're getting on in our years ourselves, aren't we?"

"Hey, we're only…" Zuko did a quick count on his fingers, "thirty-eight and forty… oh, my gods! I'm freakin' forty!"

Katara laughed heartily.

"You'll always be eighteen, in my eyes," she smiled slyly as they stepped into their bedroom.

"And just why is that?" he asked, as she draped her arms over his shoulders.

"Because," she kissed his neck tenderly and drew her lips up to his ear, "I'm still as madly in love with you now as I was when I was stuck on that pirate ship with you," she whispered into his ear.

Zuko held her waist gently and slowly made his grip firm as he drew her body up to his.

He made her look him in the eyes, "In that case, you'll always be sixteen to me."

Katara smiled cheekily up at her husband and she firmly pressed his lips to hers and pulled her body as close up to his as she could.

Katara opened her mouth and he slipped his tongue in. She sighed ecstatically and he slowly walked her in the direction of the bed.

Katara deepened their kiss and suddenly, Zuko pushed her down onto the bed and crawled up on top of her.

"Zuko!" she laughed as he kissed her again.

He played with the front of her robes until they came undone and she vigorously pulled his off.

"What do you say, love? One more time?" the Fire Lord whispered into her hair.

Katara smiled slyly, obviously knowing he knew her answer.

She pulled him into a kiss again, wrapping her legs around his waist.

"Mum? Are you alright?" Odoroki asked as they ate breakfast.

"You don't look so good," her niece informed her with a worried look.

Sokka and Suki looked up from their places at the table and Zuko glanced sidelong at her as she put her spoon down.

Yin and Sora looked over from the couch, Chouchou in her mother's arms.

"Katara?" Sokka asked.

The Fire Lady felt a jolting pain in her stomach and she quickly stood up and ran for the bathroom.

Iroh came out of the kitchen and watched her go, a cup of freshly brewed ginseng tea in his hand.

Zuko grinned quietly to himself and chuckled silently. Sokka slowly turned to face him, with an unimpressed look on his face.

"Zuko?" he asked sternly.

"Yes?" he asked smartly, grinning broadly.

"You didn't."

Everyone looked in confusion between the two men.

Zuko smiled wider, "Oh, I did."

"She's not!"

Iroh suddenly got the message, "Oh my, I'll go put on some more ginseng tea for her. It should calm down the stomach ache."

Zuko nodded slowly, "She is."

Chouchou is one way of saying butterfly in Japanese. Sorry, I wasn't sure what else I could call the new baby and I liked this. Lol, they thought Sora might have been a girl! Well, did you like the ending? Was it funny to you like it was to me?

Review! And if you haven't joined Team Zutara yet I suggest you do. IT ROX!
