A/N: Warning! If you have not read The Promise at all this does contain some spoilers! Fair Warning! And I want to thank Zonna for following!

She attended the meeting with no question on her brain, well not one that was appropriate for this meeting. Zuko and Sokka argued like they normally did, and Aang broke them up by some simple Water and Firebending. Just goes to show, maybe they wouldn't be buddy buddies like Sokka claimed they were, at least not when they were in a meeting. Zuko looked like he hadn't been getting much sleep since the last time he was here for a meeting, she was going to confront him about it once the meeting was over and they had their normal talks before he departed once again.

To Toph's surprise everyone stayed after the meeting to have a group lunch, it was nice to have everyone together for once but Zuko remained on edge about everything he did or everywhere he went.

"Hey Hot Pants why are you so on edge?" Toph felt Zuko jump as she apparently pulled him out of his other world.

"I haven't been sleeping much thanks to all the assassinations that have been on my head. Mai has hired the Kyoshi Warriors to watch over me since our guards apparently aren't doing their job very well" He yawned as he started to relax into the comfort of his friends.

"How many assassinations has there been Zuko?" Aang was instantly interested in the small side conversation.

"Roughly 5-6 I think. Apparently there is no pleasing the Earth Kingdom." His eyes hurt and his body felt like a bag of sand as he walked.

"Mai was smart to call the Kyoshi Warriors." Sokka stated

" I will have to see what is causing all of these assassination attempts." Aang rubbed his chin trying to figure out what could possibly be going on.

"It probably has something to do with that Movement you two started." She shrugged as they sat down at a booth they had been directed to, she shook her head as a waitress gave her a menu and walked off. "Yeah give the blind girl a menu! That makes ordering easier!"

"You might be on to something Toph." Aang looked over his menu, and started listing off some of the food choices for Toph. She listened closely and felt her stomach rumble as Aang listed off some of the amazing food this place had to offer, suddenly she felt something rather heavy fall onto her lap. She recognized the heart beat and knew it was Zuko who let exhaustion finally take over, it must have been a strange sight seeing the Fire Lord asleep on the Chief's lap.

"Well this has never happened before." Toph chuckled as she began to stroke Zuko's pulled back hair, she could feel the handles of his sword poking her hip bone causing slight discomfort.

"Wow Toph, I didn't know you two were involved like that" Sokka's comment hurt her, what did he mean by that?!

"Really Sokka, Zuko is with Mai he simply just fell asleep since he hasn't slept since that last dumb meeting was here." she spat back 'yeah this is a good way to ask if he will be your baby daddy. Moron"

"Don't start you guys, we are here to enjoy each others company not to try and kill each other over a sleeping Fire Lord." Aang shook his head at his friends, there was obvious tension between the two. Aang didn't quite understand why they seemed to hate each other so much when he knew that they liked each other a lot.

The rest of the lunch went in silence, Zuko had spent all of that time sleeping on Toph's lap. He woke up in time to order something to go before they left, he felt bad for sleeping through lunch and on Toph's lap. He knew Toph was trying to get with Sokka and him sleeping on her lap probably didn't help at all. like normal Toph and Zuko walked back to his war ship and talked.

"Hey Zuko I have a question I want to ask you…" Toph scratched her head hoping that he would take this question well.

"Go ahead and ask away." he smiled at the Chief

"Um…Zuko remember how we were talking about having kids last time you were here?" she looked down and then back up to where she assumed were his eyes.

"Yeah. I remember." he wasn't sure where this question was going but it was obvious that she wasn't done asking.

"Zuko…. Will you help me make a baby?" She bit her lip as she waited for his response.
