Ch. 5- A present for the newlyweds.

Croix: Blue! What are you doing?

Me: Croix, I'm writing an update for my fans.

Croix: Well hurry up!

Katara and Zuko: Can we just get on with the chapter we wanna see what happened next!

Me: You guys didn't read the script! –mumbles- I wish I could lock you all in a dog house.

Croix, Katara, and Zuko: What was that Blue?

Me : O nothing, do me a favor and do the disclaimer.

Croix: Fine! Blue does not own ATLA never can and never will. Tahtah for now.

Me: How rude no more treats for you!

After the party Sokka and Suki drove the slightly drunk newlyweds' home for their night of romance. Zuko carried Katara up the stairs and into their bedroom. Zuko gently laid her on the bed and stood up. Katara just stared back at him expectantly and finally asked a question to break the way awkward silence.

"Zuko, what are you doing?" Katara asked unmoving and definitely confused as Zuko stared harder.

"I'm freezing this picture in my head." Zuko replied with an evil grin creeping up his face.

"You perv." Katara joked as she threw her slipper at him.

Zuko let out a bark of laughter and jumped onto Katara playfully. And started too passionately. Suddenly Katara broke the kiss and smirked up at him.

"Zuko get off." She laughed as he lightly tickled her sides.

"Why?" he said straddling her.

"I'll forgive you for thinking like a pervert, just let me up." She reasoned.

"Hummm…. Then I don't want you forgiveness…" Zuko said leaning down to her, and whispered in her ear, "I want you." And he gave her the fieriest kiss. His hands started to roam her body as she did the same. After Zuko started to unbutton and slide her dress off is when Katara's brain went into a panic. Sure they were always fooling around, but they were always interrupted or Zuko would stop out of respect for her wishes and fear or Sokka, but now was the thing and she totally flipped.

"Zuko?!" Katara whispered squirming underneath him.

"Hmm." Zuko asked looking up from kissing her neck.

"Baby, I'm not ready. I'm afraid-"

"Tara, afraid of what? Not me?" Zuko asked rolling off his wife.

"This experience. I want to do it, but…" Katara was rambling now. Zuko knew this conversation so he kissed her swiftly and walked into the bathroom. He was looking for that book Iroh had given him on these situations in the magazine rack.

Meanwhile…

Katara was thinking. She needed to grow up and fast she was married now. Sacrifices have to be made.

"Zuko?" She called steadily. The firebender in question pooped out the bathroom. "I'm ready."

"Tara, you don't have to unless-"

"No I'm ready." She said wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him close giving him a reassuring smile.

Zuko was relieved. He returned the smile. He started to kiss her and carried her to bed as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Zuko couldn't see where he was going and tripped over their shoes. Katara giggled as she landed and Zuko started to kiss her lower and lower. He started to tease her by running his hand up and down her thigh. He was tugging at her boy shorts asking for entrance. Katara nodded and grabbed some sheets, Zuko in turn crawled over her and captured her lips in a fierce kiss. As he entered, he felt his wife tense but then relaxed as he started to move.

Who knew the first week of their marriage would be so lust filled. Two weeks later was when things started to get…err… complicated?.

Two weeks later…

Katara was in the bathroom, her period didn't come for two days now.

"Hey Zu?" The water/ fire bender called.

"Yea Tara?"

"My period still hasn't come."

"So…?"Zuko said stopping with only half his shirt on as Katara came out the bathroom.

"I think I know why."

"Why, what is it? You're not gonna die, are you?" He joked.

"Zuko this is serious. A few mornings I've woken up with morning sickness and weird craving for Gran Gran's stewed sea prunes."

"Well sometimes you get like that when you start your…umm cycle." Zuko said walking over to the bench to sit next to her.

"No this time is different. I think I'm pregnant."
