Life's really ironic, that's so funny about it! The stories I put the most effort in, seem to suck since I hardly have any reviews on it…XD And this story is a simple hobby of me, and we're heading for the 100 reviews by now!:D

Sigh I wished I could flash myself to America the 1st of December, just to see that final episode! But instead of that, I'm stuck here in this crappy country, where we're back to that STUPID episode with the freaky king Bumi, for the 8th time or something! So if anyone of you happens to upload that final episode on youtube, please warn me!-

Okay, where was I… Oooh how could I forget: Ozai! So they left him behind, somewhere on a high cold rock. And since everyone agrees with the fact I'm leaving the Taangness a bit out of the story, (Okay, a LOT, I know…) I'll have to focus on them a bit.

Meanwhile, Sokka can't take it any longer. The second full moon has arrived, and he just HAS to bring Yue back. So he heads for the cave himself, all alone…

And Iroh teaches Zuko and Katara how to be decent parents, with some help of our favorite doctor: Huang. And soon they find out Zuko and Katara have a lot to learn.

Chapter 36

Pretty

The sun rose once again, and Zuko and Katara layed in the bed, sleeping peacefully. Or atleast Katara was, Zuko was awake.

He caressed Katara's belly softly and smiled. She was pregnant for two and a half months now, and still Haru was too small to be noticed. His size made him very vurnerable, that was why Zuko was so worried about Katara all the time. Everything that happened to her, happened to Haru as well. But because she wasn't fatter than she used to be, he became worried. What was wrong with the baby?

Katara woke up and yawned. She stretched her arms and saw Zuko's hand on her belly. A smile colored her face when she sat up.

'What are you doing?' she asked. Zuko stared at her belly and sighed.

'Why can't we see it yet? What if Haru isn't growing any longer? Your belly isn't fatter than it was a few months ago! I'm worried!' he said, nearly panicking. Katara stared at her belly as well and lifted an eyebrow.

'You think so? I think I've grown way to much weight, maybe I should go on a diet…'

'No!' Zuko yelled. 'You may NOT start a diet now you're pregnant! Do you have any idea what could happen to Haru if you did that?'

'Relax!' Katara said. 'I was only joking! Ofcourse I wouldn't start a diet now, half of the food I swallow is eaten by Haru, I'd die if I'd be eating less.'

Zuko released a sigh in relief. His gaze was locked on her belly again, while he bit on his lip.

'Can we please visit doctor Huang? I want to know more about this.'

'Why?' Katara asked. 'I think we can do this on our own, we don't need his help. He's really kind, but we can't bother him today: it's Sunday!'

Zuko frowned. 'Okay, tell me how to do the birth, since you know everything about it already.'

Katara wanted to answer him, but when she opened her mouth, there was no sound. She sighed and locked her arms around her knees.

'Okay, THAT's something I don't know…'

'Need advice?' someone said. Their gazes went for the door, noticing Iroh standing there. He smiled and came in, walking to their bed.

'You two are cute, very cute. I thought you were cute before all of this happened already. Even when Zuko didn't even talk to you yet, I thought you were cute together. I thought it when you two became a couple, when I saw you two kissing, and even now Katara's pregnant I still think you're cute together.'

Zuko and Katara smiled at each other, while iroh sat down between them.

'So,' he said, 'what do you want to know?'

Zuko and Katara both started to ask questions at the same time, and iroh just couldn't understand what they were saying. He tried to calm them down and soothed them.

'Please, please! One at a time! Katara?'

Katara bit on her lip. She pulled her legs up and looked up at Iroh, sorrows in her gaze.

'I don't know how to give birth.' she said.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Aang and Toph were laying on the deck, in the shadow of Appa. Aang turned his head to Toph and bit on his lip.

'Toph, you haven't said much to Katara since you know she's pregnant, you know.'

Toph only nodded. 'Ofcourse I know. What's the big deal about that?'

She stretched her arms and yawned. 'Besides, it's her own fault.'

Aang gasped and looked up at her.

'Her own fault? How can you say that!'

'Yes.' Toph said. 'Her own fault. And I don't even think she hates being pregnant THAT

much. Because if she really didn´t want to get pregnant, she wouldn´t have answered to Zuko´s

lusts, right?'

Aang thought about it for a while. In a strange way, she was right. But on the other side, she

wasn't. He sighed and looked up at the sky.

'Okay, you're right. I'm sure they'll love to have a baby, Katara has always been older than she actually was. She's no longer a child.'

'But we are.' Toph said, smiling. She thought about when Aang had kissed her, it made her feel strange. She liked it, but at the same time, it felt wrong. Aang was the Avatar, he had a duty to the world. And she… She was just a simple earthbender, the great Avatar deserved way better. He deserved someone that could love him to the fullest, and Toph knew she could never be a good match for him.

Aang noticed the silence and bit on his lip. Toph was sitting pretty close to him, maybe she didn't even notice she was, but Aang didn't care about that. He knew he loved that girl. Maybe it was because she understood him, because she was so perfectly tough, and pretty in his eyes. Her high, blue eyes were useless to her, but Aang thought they were beautiful, and a really great match with her dark hair. And if there was something he really loved, it was girl that was smaller than he was.

He saw she was sunken away in thoughts. He felt pathetic, even the way she stared at nothing seemed so beautiful to him.

He slid a bit closer and Toph gasped. She knew what he was going to do, and that was the last thing she could use for the moment.

And so he did. He pulled her face to his and pressed his lips on hers, making Toph gasp again. She pushed him away and looked up at him.

'Don't do that.' she said quietly. Aang lifted an eyebrow.

'What? Why not?' he asked, clearly confused. Toph pulled her legs up and locked her arms around them, averting her eyes.

'You deserve way better…'

Aang laughed and came closer to her again, making Toph slid further. His laughing stopped and he stared at her.

'Is there something better, then?'

Toph looked up at Aang. A smile appeared on her face when Aang layed his hand on her cheek, his thumb caressing it. He pressed a tender kiss on her forhead and smiled as well.

'You're really pretty…'

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Katara, Zuko and Iroh stood in front of Huang's office. Zuko bit on his lip and turned his head to his uncle.

´Are you sure that this is a good idea?'

'Ofcourse it is!' Iroh answered. 'Huang would help you any time, right? Well, that means he can help you now as well.'

Zuko wanted to say something more, but the door opened. They stared at doctor Huang, standing in front of them.

'Ah, how great to see you again! I thought you'd never come! Please, come in.'

He guided them to the chairs and took one himself as well. He smiled at Katara and sat down next to her.

'So, how's the pregnancy going?' he wanted to know. Katara shrugged.

'Ah, not bad, I think. I do have to puke pretty much, and I keep snarling at everyone.'

Huang smiled again. 'Wonderful! That means the baby's growing very well! Now, let's have a look at him, alright?'

He took the same machine as the one he used last time, to have a look at Katara's womb. He did the same thing as he did back then and his gaze was locked on the monitor. He had a closer look at it and smiled.

'There he is!'he said. He pointed at something on the blue screen and Zuko jumped up, squattering down next to him. He stared at the spot he was pointing at and lifted an eyebrow.

'I can't see it.' he said. Huang shook his head.

'Ofcourse you can't, this machine is pretty old. But believe me: since she's already pregnant for almost three months, you'll see the firsts signs of him sooner or later. Some babies grow faster than other, and this tiny guy is growing pretty fast.'

He layed a hand on Katara's shoulder, pointing at her belly.

'That means you'll gain weight really soon, don't you dare to start a diet now! The fatter you get, the better it is.' he said. Katara laughed and nodded. His gaze turned back to the monitor and he smiled.

'I can't tell you much about him yet, he's still too small. But you can clearly see she's pregnant now, the baby's moving a bit. You can't see or feel the movements yet, like I said: he's too small.'

Katara bit on her lip and caressed the back of her neck.

'Uhm, doctor Huang, I have a question for you I think.'

Huang turned to her, as friendly as always. 'Go ahead, you can ask me any question: I have the answer for all of them.'

Katara blushed, feeling embaressed. 'How do I have to give birth?'

Huang bit on his lip.

'Well, err… It depends on it. In most cases, a birth is no problem for a woman. But you're very young, you'll be only fifteen once the baby has to be born…'

He stood up and smiled again. 'But don't worry, I'm sure you're pretty much of a woman already!'

Katara doubted about that part of his sentence. She wasn't a real woman yet, just a teenage girl, that's a difference. Huang saw her doubting, and pulled her up.

'But you know? I'll investigate you, so you'll know it for sure. Okay?'

Katara nodded happily, while Zuko released a deep sigh. The doctor didn't have to lie to them, he knew very well what the problem was: she still was way too young.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sokka was packing his stuff, the stuff he needed for his journey. He didn't want to skip this full moon, just because it was too dangerous in the firenation for the moment. He just HAD to bring Yue back.

But maybe going all alone wasn't too smart. On his own it was way too dangerous out there, but taking one of his friends was a much bigger risk.

He saw Momo, sleeping somewhere near him. A grimace appeared on his face when he woke the lemur up and put him on his shoulder.

'Are you joining me?' he asked, though he knew the animal wouldn't answer him. He took his knapsack and left the ship with an emergency boat, heading for the firenation…

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

(Okay, chapter 36 already! Oh, I forgot to say this: I can't get any PM's any more, so for the ones sending personal massages to me, don't. I can't read them anyway.

Oh! And this! Every day i don't update this story, there will be a drabble in my story file "Zutara Drabbles". That means there's no new drabble today, but perhaps tomorrow there is. Just to make sure you won't feel too bored!XD

Anyway, REVIEW!:D)
