As P'li awoke the next morning, she realized That her and zaheer weren't alone. Outside the cell stood Lord Zuko, Su, and Lin. "Good you are awake." Lin scoffed. P'li looked away. Then back at them. "What do you want?" she hissed.
"We were informed that you were pregnant." Zuko responded.
P'li looked at the trio in disbelief. "What!?"
"You mean you didn't notice that a child was growing within you!? Raava you criminals are stupid too!" Lin ranted.
Zaheer pipes in, returning from his meditation. "I knew. And its not just A child." he said solemnly.
"What do you mean Zaheer?" Su questioned.
"its not just one. Its twins. I could sense the energy shift about 2 weeks ago. They are both firebenders." Zaheer said.
The trio had questioned looks as to how he knew this. Zaheer noticed their gazes and said, "You seem to forget that even though I'm a criminal in your eyes, I am one of the most spiritual people on this earth."
Zuko acknowledged his comment and with that, the three left the chamber.
P'li looked up, she didn't know what to think. Why hadn't Zaheer told her that he knew she was pregnant? Not that she knew herself, but that's besides the point. She felt betrayed, lost, sad.
There was a silence that spread over the room.
Zaheer was first to speak.
"P'li, Let me explain-"
"EXPLAIN WHY YOU DIDN'T TELL ME I WAS PREGNANT!?" P'li yelled. The guards heard this and decided amongst themselves they were going to let the couple have their argument.
"P'li, please. Calm down. I was saving the surprise for our anniversary in a couple of days. When I heard the healer arguing with the grand lotus, I hoped you hadn't heard them." He explained.
"I understand now, but what are we going to do about this child?"
"That is not for you to worry about." A voice called out.
"The twins won't live past their first minutes."

Ok so consider this the beginning of the problem. The next chapter or 2 will be Korra and asami centric, mind you this story is AFTER jinora's ceremony. Thank you for reading and don't be afraid to leave a review! It helps a lot!
