Blueeyeddevil06, thank you so much for being my beta and your feedback on this chapter. It made it so much better.

Zuko and Daiki finished sparing, and Zuko flopped down on the ground. "How are the wedding plans going?"

Daiki smiled, "Great. I can't wait to marry Chie. She laughs at the fact that I enjoy helping her plan it."

"It's hardly a surprise you do. For a while there, you thought you wouldn't be allowed to marry her at all."

"Exactly, " Daiki sat down a few feet from Zuko. "How's it going with Hakoda?"

"I have a feeling you know as much as I do. He's trying to like me." Zuko shrugged. "He's not upsetting Katara, so I'm happy with how it's going. What's your impression?"

"That he hates how good we all are to her in a way. I think he always assumed she'd be waiting at home for him when he decided to return. Then she went and made a whole new life. I believe he's facing the fact that he gave up time with his daughter, and he'll never get that chance back."

Zuko thought about that. "Huh. He thought she'd stay his little girl forever?"

"Yup. His vengeance was more important to him, and now he's faced with the fact that she doesn't need him. She has Sokka's blessing, and that mattered more to her than her father's. I think he realizes that, and it stings."

"I tease Sokka, but he's a good guy. He did a lot for his sister. It was nice to hear that he approves of the two of us together. In fact, he said he was glad she broke up with Aang."

"Everyone I know is glad. Well, except for Aang and her father, but they're both being selfish. I honestly believe that with time even they will be glad that you're together. Aang will fall in love with someone else and move on, and her father will one day have grandkids. That will go a long way to healing things."

Zuko got a goofy grin on his face. "I'm excited to have kids with Katara. She'll be a great mother."

"And I'm expecting I won't be getting any sleep. Any child of Katara's will be a troublemaker, and you know I'll be trying to set up their guard in a way to keep them safe but not stifled. It'll be an enormous challenge."

Zuko stared at Daiki, "I hadn't even thought about that. Thank you."

"Uncle is right. You aren't doing this on your own. You can trust me to do my job and keep them safe."

"He told me that you beat him at Pai Sho yesterday."

Daiki nodded, "Somehow, I did. I couldn't believe it. For a split second, I thought he let me win."

Zuko laughed at that. "Then you realized he'd never go easy on you. Well, unless it taught you a lesson," he smirked.

"True, dang. Do you think that was what happened?" He looked concerned.

"No, he told me you truly beat him. He wants a rematch soon."

"And there's the rub. I won't ever catch up to him on total wins." He then shrugged. "I never thought I'd be friends with General Iroh, though, so it's a win for me."

"I'm just glad you play Pai Sho with him. I never had the patience to learn."

Daiki smirked and said, "Katara is making her way over here. I'll head off and clean up. I wanted to see Chie before her meeting anyway. I'll meet you here tomorrow to spar again."

When Katara made it over to Zuko, she was beaming. "Guess what?"

"Do you really want me to guess, or are you just going to tell me?"

She crossed her arms, and he gave in. "Fine, I'll guess. Your father decided to support our marriage fully?" If he was going to have to guess, he was going to think big.

"Yup!" She said, beaming. "He's finally gotten it through his thick head that you're perfect for me!"

Zuko looked at her in utter shock. "What? What happened!?"

"Would it surprise you if I said Uncle happened? He grew tired of waiting for my father to figure it out by himself. He spent three hours talking to Dad, and now he sees what everyone else sees. So, doesn't that make you feel better?"

"I would think it would make you feel better."

She rolled her eyes at him. "I keep telling you I don't care if he approves or not. His objections were stupid. I'm glad you can relax now, though."

"Dammit, I really was the one making a big deal out of this. Sorry."

"It's endearing that you want my father to like you so much." She wrinkled her nose. "You do need to bathe, though.

"Want to join me?" He joked.

She got a smug look on her face. "Absolutely!"

He looked at her in shock and smiled, "I'll meet you at our secret door."

"Deal."

Zuko met her at the door, grabbed her hand, and pulled her towards the large bath he had installed in his bathroom. He had it built for Katara, and they had already been enjoying it.

He pulled off her clothes and caressed her body. "I love getting you naked and wet." He ran his fingers through the folds of her pussy. "So wet, my love."

She climbed in the huge tub and said, "Then get naked and get in here with me." She then bent water and soaked him before he was able to get all his clothes off.

"Hey! I'll get you for that." He finished removing his wet clothing and dropped them on the floor.

"Good," she replied. "I'm looking forward to your revenge. I always enjoy it. A lot."

He got in the tub and pulled her flush against him. "So do I." He then grabbed her ass and kissed her passionately. "I think you deserve a spanking for that. You're so naughty."

He had her bend over the edge of the tub and spanked her and she moaned. He rubbed her ass then spanked the other cheek. He knew it turned her on and drove her wild when he spanked her. He wasn't disappointed in her reaction at all.

She turned around with desire burning in her eyes. "Zuko, please. I want you so much. Make love to me."

"I love it when you're desperate and begging for me, Katara." He pulled her back against him and grabbed her breasts, and pinched her nipples. He then whispered, huskily in her ear, "Ride me in the tub. I want to make love to you surrounded by your element."

She playfully pushed him to sit down on a bench in the tub and said, "When you say things like that, you drive me wild."

She had other ideas first though. She bent the water to caress his body. His eyes flew wide open, and he stared at her with desire burning in them.

She then bent the water to stroke his hard cock. He groaned and his head dropped back in pleasure and his mouth dropped open. She continued and he started breathing hard. His eyes were shut tight as he was trembling from desire. She continued to caress his cock with the bent water, and he thrust into it, moaning, "Katara, I can't believe it… Wow!" He was panting even harder. She then used the water to create suction on his cock, and he couldn't form words anymore.

She smirked. She loved how wild she was driving him without even touching him. He looked sexy there, covered in water and wanting her. Wanting more of how she was pleasuring him. There was something so incredible about driving the Fire Lord to the brink of orgasm with water, of all things.

She looked at him laying back in the water and he was desperate for release. She dropped the water she was bending just as she sheathed his cock. He gasped at being inside of her.

"Katara, you have no idea how incredible this all is." He grabbed her breasts and nipped at her neck. "I want to cum inside of you, please. "

She began riding him, and they made passionate love as the water sloshed all over the bathroom. He was covered in her and her element, and he was loving it.

When they orgasmed, she collapsed in his arms. "Wow. That was new," he said and kissed the top of her head.

"I love that we keep finding new ways to come together. I loved watching you surrounded by water."

"Don't tell anyone, but I think that water is my favorite element, now, " he breathed out and held her tightly.

When they climbed out of the tub, she bent the water and returned it all to the tub then dried them off. She then kissed his lips as she pressed her body against his.

He held her close and said, "It's time to pick a wedding date. I need to be marrying you soon."

Katara smiled at him and said, "I've already picked a day. It's just a little over two months away."

"What?!" Zuko looked shocked. "We can marry that soon?"

She rolled her eyes, "Yes, we can. Nozomu has already been making plans."

"When were you going to tell me?" He then caressed her cheek. "I'm so happy."

"When you finally realized it was time, you dope." She chuckled and added, "I was just wanting you to say something."

"And here I was nervous that it was too soon."

She shook her head. "Don't be ridiculous. Our love is epic. Don't you remember that?"

"My love, I'll never forget that. I still have to pinch myself sometimes. I can't believe I have your love in return. Wait, should I make you a necklace? Didn't Suki say it should be a family tradition?"

She kept her face neutral. "That's up to you."

"I feel like this is a test. Is it?" He looked at her questioningly.

"Are you going to make me a necklace?"

"Yes."

"Then you pass, Zuko." He burst out laughing as she kissed his cheek.
