This is a story by Bee Lynn.

This is the sequel to 'My New Life'.

Sorry I deleted 'Found Again'. I decided to do a different plot. It should be better than 'found again' had planned to be.

The First Summer of Royality

Prologue

Shelby stood on her balcony, looking at the fire nation capital below. It was around sun set, so naturally everything looked red. The fire lord walked one to balcony and wrapped his arms around his wife's waist from behind. "It's a miracle, isn't it?" She said softly. She hadn't yet told him, so he was confused.

"What is?"

"What would Lina and Taro think? I mean, with Lina being seven and Taro has always been so clingy." She was cutting around the point and he knew it.

"Shelby, tell me what you're talking about. You know how I feel when you cut around the point."

"But it really is a miracle, Zuko." She turned around in his arms and looked up at him. "The complications with Taro were supposed to make it impossible."

His eyes widened. "You're not-."

She nodded and smiled. "Pregnant. I am. I don't know how." She broke free from his arms and walked into their private quarters. "It really is a miracle."

"That it is." The doors burst open and Lina ran in holding a tiny creature in her arms. Upon closer inspection this could be identified as a baby winged lemur.

"Mayla's here!" Lina sang out happily.

Taro ran in behind her. In his hands he held a young lemur too. "And Nami! And Momo got a girlfriend!" Shelby smiled at her son.

She looked to Zuko, who shrugged. There was a knock on the already open door. Shelby laughed. "Come in." Katara and Aang walked into the room, followed by seven-year-old Mayla and five-year-old Nami. Katara ran and hugged her. Shelby pulled her out onto the balcony so they were away from everyone. "Guess what!"

"What?"

"They were wrong!" Katara gave her a weird look. "Either they were wrong or it was a miracle!"

"Shelby,"

"I'm pregnant!" Katara stared at her in disbelief.

"But I thought-,"

"Us too. It really is a miracle." Katara nodded.

"It is."

9 months later

Zuko paced around the hospital wing, Taro following behind him, mocking his movements. "It's been two hours." Katara looked up from the book she was reading.

"Zuko." He looked at her. "Sit down." He didn't. She sighed. "how long did it take with Taro?"

"A long time, but that was with complications!"

"What about Lina?"

"Even longer, but that was the first time!"

"Sit down." He did.

Sokka looked up from the food he was eating. "Yeah, sit down." Zuko rolled his eyes and looked at Aang, who nodded his head in agreement. Suki smiled reassuringly as she watched Mayla, Nami, Lina and her own son, Kito as they sat on the floor and did tricks with their bending skills.

There was a scream, a cry, and the sound of Zuko falling over as he tried to get up too fast. He ran into the room where Shelby was while everyone waited to hear her yelling at him. But she didn't. Everyone was quiet. Lina looked worriedly at Katara. Even if she had been only three at the time, she remembered her mother yelling at her father to wait for the doctors to tell him to come in.

Everyone was quiet for a while as they waited for any news about anything. When Zuko walked out he was paler than usual. He sat in the chair that wasn't over turned and put his head in his hands. Katara kneeled next to him. "Zuko, what happened?"

He looked up at her as if he hadn't know she was in the room. He closed his eyes, sighed and re-opened his eyes. "It really is a miracle." Everyone gave him the same weird look he had given Shelby when she had told him she was pregnant. "She has arrows."

----------

Everyone crowded around the bed where Shelby lay, holding a bundle of blankets. She was staring in the ceiling as if in great thought. Taro and Lina climbed onto the bed, careful not to bump anything or anyone. Shelby looked at them and smiled. She looked to Aang. "Is this possible?"

He shrugged. "It must be because you have no native element. She could have been an earth bender as easily as she could have been a fire bender."

"Momma?" Shelby looked at Taro. "What is her name?

"Anaya." Taro smiled and looked at Zuko, who smiled back.

"Naya." Lina said, testing the name. Shelby smiled and looked to Katara and Aang. They smiled back. She looked to her children and husband. "Naya." Zuko repeated. He smiled at Shelby. She smiled back.
