p class="MsoNormal"I was watching Zuko spar with one of the crew members. Zuko fired blast after blast of fire at his sparring opponent. Suddenly the ship tilts to starboard, knocking both combatants off balance and made me stumble a bit. "Someone's changing our course!" Zuko shouted as soon as he got his footing back. I now knew that we will going to go shopping. As I followed Zuko to the control centre of the ship, where the steering wheel is, I was thinking of buying Zuko a gift that would tell him that I was pregnant and maybe visit their local healer to cheek on the baby. I was brought out of my thought by us arriving to our destination and when we entered Zuko shouted, "What's the meaning of this mutiny? No one told you to change course!" fully entering the room I could see Iroh playing Pai Sho with a crewman and there was the helmsman there too./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"Iroh answered Zuko's question with, "Actually, someone did. I assure you it is a matter of utmost importance, Prince Zuko." Zuko counter questioned with, "Is it something to do with the Avatar?" "Even more urgent. It seems... I've lost my lotus tile." Iroh said in horror. Iroh moved a piece forward on the Pai Sho board. Zuko is mystified. I was just trying not to pee with laughter. "Lotus tile?" Zuko asked after recovering from the shock of it all. "For my Pai Sho game. Most people think the lotus tile insignificant, but it is essential for the unusual strategy that I employ." Iroh style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt just caused Zuko's anger to increase, "You've changed our course for a stupid lotus tile?" Iroh TRYED to reason more by saying, "See, you, like most people, underestimate its value. Just give me ten minutes to check the merchants at this port of call. Hopefully they'll have the lotus tile in stock and I can get on with my life!"/p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"Zuko had to work hard to contain his anger, ultimately releasing a gout of flame from his mouth the licked over the ceiling. It left a smiling Iroh to be clouded with smoke, who said, "I'm lucky to have such an understanding nephew." I just started to cry with laughter on the floor holding my stomach until a wave of nausea caused me to run to the nearest toilet to throw up with Iroh hot on my tail. Once I finish throwing up Iroh said, "You should go have a healer find out what's wrong with you while we are looking for my tile." I just nodded before going for a nap./p

p class="MsoNormal"When I woke up from my nap we had arrive and acquired in port. So I went into the small town beside the port. First thing on my list is to find a healer. Once I did the female healer took me to a room and told me to remove my clothes that hid my stomach. Once she was done she said that everything was doing fine and that I could get dressed. Once I left I went to a shop that sold baby clothes and toys. The only thing that caught my eye was a pair of red baby shoes, so I bought them and had them wrapped in a box with a tag on it. Then I put it in Zuko's and I's room before I left the ship to go find them. I spotted them, and I began to make my way to them just in time to Zuko's arms were folded across his chest and he was clearly unhappy./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"Then Iroh began to speak, "I've checked all the shops on this pier. Not a lotus tile in the entire marketplace." Zuko turned to shout at his uncle, "It's good to know this trip was a complete waste of time for everyone!" He then saw me and pulled me into a tight hug as Iroh replied, "Quite the contrary. I always say the only thing better than finding something you were looking for, is finding something you weren't looking for at a great bargain!" I giggled as I finished struggling out of Zuko's arms. Then said, " I got a gift for you will here and I went to a healer to. And I'm fine by the way."/p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"While I was speaking, a parade of Fire Nation soldiers walked by carrying armloads of merchandise that Iroh has just bought. One of them is some kinds of brass musical instrument. Zuko looked at the instrument and said, "You bought a sumki horn?" "For music night on the ship. Now, if we only had some woodwinds." Iroh stated, "Oh, hello Sky!" I just waved in reply./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"As we began walking down the dock, a pirate ship came in to view. "This place looks promising!" Iroh complemented. When we entered Iroh spotted a red jewelled monkey. "Ooo! That is handsome! Wouldn't it look magnificent in the galley?" Iroh said./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"The Pirate Captain, who was speaking with the Pirate Barker that the kids escaped from a few hours before. Zuko listened to their conversation. Meanwhile, Iroh picked up the jewelled monkey with a huge grin on his face. The Pirate Barker said, "We lost the Water Tribe girl and the little bald monk she was travelling with." Zuko walked over to them and said, "This monk, did he have an arrow on his head?" Iroh was making monkey noises in the background./p

p class="MsoNormal"We were back on the ship with the pirates. Zuko and the Pirate Captain with a green parrot still on his shoulder were talking. The Pirate Captain then suggested, "Shouldn't we stop to search the woods?" Zuko said, "We don't need to stop. They stole a waterbending scroll, right?" The Pirate Captain just said, "Uh huh." "Then they'll be on the water." Zuko stated. I walked over to them and said, "I'm going to bed. See you when you get back my prince." I said as I kissed Zuko on the lips before leaving to go take a nap and to set up 'Zuko's' present./p

p class="MsoNormal"I was woken up by Zuko storming in at who knows what hour in the morning. He sat on his side of the bed and took off his shoes, then lays down beside me, still wide awake. I moved to lie on my side, so I was facing him, and I was holding the gift for him. "You plan didn't work, did it?" I said, and I only go a huff in reply. He then turned onto his side facing away from me. "Well if you are going to be like that you, mister, are not getting the present I special got for you Yesterday." I said. That got his attention. He is such a kid inside sometimes. He turned to face me sitting up, I did the same. I put the present on his lap and watched him open it. He pulled the red baby shoes. At first, he looked confused but after him looking at me then the shoes then back to several times he fainted. I just sat there in shock. "Well that went better that expected." As I was saying that Iroh walk in, then rushed to Zuko's side. He looks at me with a questioning expression. I just said, "He just work out I was pregnant. Oh yeah I forgot to tell you I'm Pregnant." Then Iroh went down. I just couldn't believe they both fainted at the news. What wimps. Humph. I just burst into a fit of giggles. "What am I going to do with those two." I said to my stomach will rubbing it. Agni help us when I go into labour if this is how they react./p
