Zuko stumbled into the water after Katara. He pulled her to her feet and stared at her.

"Are you okay?" She just looked at him. She narrowed her eyes. Something was wrong. Neither of them said straight out what had happened. They had just insinuated. She looked and him and grabbed his chin, forcing him to look at her

"Zuko...you said that you did love me. Was that past tense or do you still..." Zuko closed his eyes and thought about his answer very carefully. He was talking to a pregnant water bender and they did happen to be surrounded by water. He opened his eyes and looked directly in hers.

"Katara, I couldn't turn it off just like that.." He took a step closer to her and rest his finger tips on her stomach. "And now I have more to love." Tears welled in her eyes but she wasn't going to be distracted. She took a step back from him and glared at him.

"Then I am going to ask you this once and you had better answer me truthfully. And remember when this child comes into the world it's going to be obvious right away who was lying." She watched him but he didn't move from her. "Did we have sex?" Zuko looked at her and without blinking or even so much as movings his eyes he answered her.

"No." She narrowed her eyes.

"Did you have sex with my body while I was possessed?" Zuko fought the urge to curl up his nose at her.

"No. Katara. I haven't had sex with you or your body." She nodded and looked up at him. She fell into him as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Then that means it's Aang's." She said through a tight throat. She frowned and pulled back looking up at him. "Is that even possible?" Zuko fought back his urge to laugh.

"Yes. Boys start producing when they are around eight or nine, but it doesn't become...alive..until they hit puberty around eleven or twelve." She frowned and buried her head in his shoulder.

"Dear god..I'm a pedophile." Zuko couldn't keep himself from laughing at that. She glared up at him with hard eyes. He looked down at her his eyes warm like honey.

"You aren't. Kuiodio is." His smile dropped as he pulled her close to him. He shook his head and ran his hand over Katara's hair.

"For the sake of your sanity, and Aang's, I do think it would be best if everyone thought this was my doing." She pulled back and stared at him.

"What? Why would you want...I don't understand." He looked down at her with a smile as a small blush crossed his face.

"If it hadn't been for you calling me ZuZu, it might have been anyway." She frowned.

"Zuzu? What the hell is that?" Zuko smiled and shook his head. He looked down and realized that they were still standing knee deep in water. He took a step back from her and helped her out of the river. She looked down and pulled the water from her clothes and his and sent it back to the source. She looked up at him with confused eyes.

"Wait...If you and I didn't..then what happened that night?" Zuko looked at her and took a deep breath.

"You aren't going to like the answer." Automatically warning bells went off in the back of her mind. She shook her head casting out of her mind. When she didn't say anything he took a breath and began to tell her. "I first noticed that something was really wrong when you wouldn't dry your clothes the way you just did. You had been throwing your self at me for two days, I just wrote that off to hormones though. I had went to your room to check on you. You fell into my arms and looked up at me. I must have been spelled by Kuiodio's tricks. As I said if you wouldn't have said that cursed nickname my sister gave me, I don't think I would have been able to stop myself..." Zuko frowned and blushed. " I stormed out, but it wasn't long until you came knocking at my door. You gave me this outrageous story about you getting...how can I put this..." He thought for a moment then growled in frustration.

"Ah hell. Fuck it. You told me that a week before your period you became horny." Katara's face lit on fire as a deep blush covered her face. "I knew as soon as you said that, it was a lie. I brought you to me and acted as if we were going to quench that awfully urge of yours. I laid you down on the bed and before you could protest, your wrists and ankles were tied to the ends of the bed. I leaned over you and looked into eyes that weren't yours and said 'I've been around Katara almost five months, I can tell when she's about to start...she doesn't get riled up, she gets bitchy." He looked at her for a moment before he continued. " Your body stayed tied to the bed the entire night. I sat against the door in a chair and watched you. You fought and fought against the ropes. But I wouldn't let you up. Not until I figured out a way to get you back into your right mind. Just before dawn, and long after you had gone to sleep, I untied your wrists and ankles. I gave your brother the wrong impression on purpose. When I came back and burnt your wrists, your brother had thought I lost my mind...that is until you couldn't heal yourself..." Katara stared up at him. She curled her arms around him and rested her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her as she began to shiver.

"You know me too well Zuko..." Zuko frowned.

"No...I don't know you well enough. You should know that by the way I acted towards you." She pulled back and looked at him.

"All in all, I'm still pregnant." Zuko frowned at her.

"How do you know for sure? Earlier you said you thought you might be, now you are so certain?" She looked up at him.

"My body has changed so much. And something just inside the back of my mind, I know it." She looked up at him and froze. His eyes were so soft, his facial expression was so loving. She looked away.

"Katara...there isn't a way I can tell you how ashamed I am of the way I treated you. I guess my pride was so hurt that logic wasn't pushing through." Katara nodded. She looked up at Zuko.

"I get it. I understand Zuko. But I still want to talk to Aang. I have to find out what happened." Zuko frowned.

"Katara. You're pregnant...doesn't that explain what happened?" She looked at him with a coy smile,

"No. I need to find out if it was worth it or not." She laughed.
