Time: Post-War. Fire Lord Zuko is married to Katara. Right now, with two children.

"Daddy why is you eye red?"

The innocent young daughter of the Fire Lord, Ursa, smiled up at her father. Holding her bright blue and red blanket in one hand, she watched her father under the pile of papers that trapped him at his desk.

"I'm busy, sweetie."

"But daddy! Why is your eye red?"

"Because I was bur-"

"Magic."

Zuko dropped the scroll he had in his hands, and turned his attention to his wife who had just walked in. She had interrupted him before he had finished his sentence and was no standing behind her daughter shaking her head at her husband.

"It was magic, my love."

"Really?! That is amazing!"

Katara nodded and smiled, placing a hand on her child's back as she moved her toward the door. Zuko stood up, and Katara whispered to her small daughter. "Go find your Uncle, and annoy him dear. I have to speak to your father."

As her daughter skipped away to go find her Uncle Sokka, the Fire Lord walked up to his wife.

"Magic? What kind of answer is that, Katara?"

"How can you tell her that you were burned by your father?"

"Because she needs to know the truth!"

"She is four years old."

Silence leaked through the room, until finally Zuko stepped forward. Placing a hand on her neck he pulled her into a kiss, his hand running down her back. She immediately kissed him back, smiling in the kiss. When the sound of the door creaked open, they both jumped back.

Katara saw her small daughter in the arms of her brother at the door and she quickly fixed her hairs that had somehow come undone from her bun. Zuko wiped imaginary dust off his robes, as he watched his smirking brother-in-law step in.

Holding Princess Ursa in one hand he stepped inside the room.

"Hope your not busy, you two. But I found Ursa annoying the heck out of one of the guards. Something about how magic and how she was trying to turn his eye red."

Zuko shot Katara a look, raising his only eyebrow. The Fire Lady smiled, dashing her eyes at her brother. He carefully placed down his niece. She smiled and ran across the room, until she turned around to look at her Uncle.

"Mommy, why is Uncle Sokka always sharpening his boomerang around Daddy?"

Said Uncle looked around the room and sheepishly put his away his boomerang which he had been sharpening. Giving a nervous laugh, it was Katara's turn to send him a look.

"It's a bad habit of his. Which I need to take care of..."

Zuko crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes at Sokka. Katara pointed at her husband and then at her child, and he quickly got the message. Moving over to pick up his child he went to the far corner of the room while holding her.

Katara took this chance to grab Sokka and ask him a personal favor.

"Sokka I need to ask you something."

"What is it Katara...?"

"Can you watch Ursa and her brother, Koda, tonight? Please?"

He crossed his arms, the ends of his dark fingers brushing against his trusted boomerang. Cracking his neck he peeked over Katara's shoulder to look at Zuko holding his daughter as he tried desperately, to keep her from ripping anything important in his work room.

It was pretty funny.

But tearing his gaze from that, he looked his sister and scratched his chin.

"I'm going out to dinner with Suki and the kids, I don't know. Why?"

Katara nervously and shyly wiped away a stray hair from her face, avoiding eye contact with her brother.

"You see Sokka...Zuko and I are wanting another child...and well..."

She was interrupted when her daughter yelled out, for the entire palace to hear, and had no idea that what she was saying was answering her Uncle's question.

"Mommy, Daddy! Why are there weird noises coming from your room every night?!?"

"Yeah...that's why Sokka."
