The Memory - Chapter 2 – (This chapter has less romance but more action.)
We left Zuko and Jin staring into the distance traveling to the Fire nation, all before Zuko has to go to the Southern Water Tribe.
It was getting late and the sun had already begun set. They were at least a few days away from the Fire nation but all that mattered to Jin was getting there safely. Zuko, who had lived on a ship for more than a year, comforted her.
"Don't worry we'll be fine I've been on a ship most of my life" holding her more tightly.
"I…well what happens if there is a storm or…"Jin began
"There's going to be storms but I'm here to protect you" he smiled and she too smiled.
"It's getting late…we should go inside" Zuko said aware that his wife wasn't fully reassured
Both of them walked through a door down a series of corridors. It was getting colder but Jin snuggled closer to Zuko who didn't realize there was a change in temperature.
Zuko opened the door to quarters much bigger than he had ever had. Jin was too exhausted to notice and was glad to lie down.
Zuko changed into his nightwear and lay down next to Jin. He could see Jin was tired and silently shivering.
He leant across and pulled himself close to her. Jin turned to Zuko and kissed his scarred face. He returned the kiss but instead, placed it softly on her lips.
He held her in the darkness, listening to her heart beat and her soothing snores fade into the darkness.
He placed his hand around her stomach, which was pleasantly greeted by her hand.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zuko was still sleeping when Jin woke up. She didn't want to wake him or move away from his warmth. Jin felt stiff and decided to get up and get some fresh air.
His sleeping figure wasn't disturbed as Jin eased her self away. She felt weird and supported her bump.
She had to breathe hard. Then she cried out and sank to the floor. Zukos eyes opened, he was awake and at her side in an instant.
"What happened? Are you ok!?" his voice had a lot of concern and his eyes were filling with fear
"I'm ok. I… I don't know …what…happened" she gasped.
"I think I just need fresh air" she said as he helped her up
. Zuko guided her through the door and onto the balcony. The colour had returned to her cheeks once again.
"When we pass the next town I'm going to get a healer" Zuko firmly said
"But the last one said it will be eight weeks or so" Jin said putting her arms around his neck
. "It may take more time but I'd rather have the best healer money can get" he in turn put his arms around her waste.
"No Zuko, I just want to get to the Fire nation as soon as possible" she buried her head in his shoulder as he completed the embrace.
"So do I" he whispered
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zuko had sent someone in a smaller vessel to find a good healer early next morning.
The servant was loyal to him and did as he asked.
"I found a good healer Fire Lord Zuko, she didn't want any money"
"Good work. Where is she?"
"She is in her quarters and wants to rest before she begins her duty"
"Ask her to join us at the table for dinner" Zuko said as he left the room.
Little did he know, the healer was someone he was quite familiar with.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Zuko! I said I didn't want a healer" Jin was frustrated
"I'm in pain and now some healer is roaming about the ship" she yelled sitting on the table edge.
"Come on, look you're frustrated maybe this healer can help you" he yelled back
There was a small knock at the door. The servant's head appeared round the door.
"Dinner is served. The healer mistress will not be present at the table" the servant then left.
"Great and I haven't even met this healer and I'm not going to!" still frustrated, Jin got up from where she was sitting and went over to the door. She went out and left the door open behind her.
"Jin! Wait" Zuko called after her. There was no reply. 'What have I done' Zuko thought to himself his head in his hands.
He got up and left the room. He walked down the corridor and saw Jin. She was lying on the floor in a pool of water.
"JIN!" He rushed to her side. Her eyes were screwed up tight and her hands were clenched, she was still breathing, but pain was in her expression.
"Jin! Are you ok!" he saw that she was alive.
"Zuko" she whispered. Her voice full of fear "I'm sorry"
"What's happening to me?"
"I don't know, I don't know, but … you're going to be ok" he was on the verge of tears. As he said this he helped her up and carried her part of the way towards a quiet room.
The room was quiet and was only lit by the fire in the grate. Zuko carefully laid Jin on the bed and took water from the jug on the bedside table. He placed a damp cloth on her forehead.
"I'm going to get the healer" he whispered and he kissed her pale face.
Jin was in too much pain to care about the healer and had forgotten their earlier argument. All she whispered back was "go"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zuko raced down the corridor to the healer's quarters.
"Open up quickly we need your assistance" he punched hard on the door and accidentally broke it.
"Didn't anybody tell you to knock?" laughed a cruel voice.
Zuko stood in the doorway.
"Well, well Fire Lord Zuko or should I say Zuzu. We finally meet again"
"Azula!"
"Well done Zuzu it took you a while..."
"What are you doing here!" Zuko snarled
"I am your "healer". That servant of yours thought I was a good harmless citizen… he also told me about your wife, as if you had one…" she snorted
Azula was cut short when a fireball singed her hair. Immediately they were furiously fighting with each other. Blue and yellow fire rebounded off the walls.
"You have certainly improved since our last encounter. Too bad uncle won't be around to save you" she sent a flash of lightning which missed by centimeters.
Zuko sent a powerful blast of fire at Azula who didn't have chance to block the attack. She flew backwards into the wall.
"You've lost your touch. I haven't fallen"
He closed the door and tightened the handle and heated it so that it would be red hot when Azula touched it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jin had been alone for what felt like hours. 'What is taking so long? Zuko hurry up with that healer' Jin thought.
Zuko burst through the door.
"Where's the healer?" she asked
"Er…it's complicated" he replied
"What!" alarmed that he had said that again
"Never mind about that, how are you doing?" she stared at him
"Oh right that! What do you want me to do now that we have no healer?" Zuko realized
"I don't know! Do what a healer does in these situations" she was getting restless
"Do what you think is right!" she screamed out as she felt more pain.
"I trust you Zuko" breathed Jin
"Er…Ok…er…breathe…er…now push?" he held her hand.

I had to split this up because it was too long but you can read and review this so far.
