Katara looked over at Aang as they walked. She frowned. He had lied to her. He hadn't told her that he could be the father. The more she thought about it, the madder she got. Zuko put his hand on her shoulder but the glare she shot him made him take it off very quickly. Sokka was upset. He wouldn't talk to anyone. But all the sudden he turned around and walked back to Katara. He took her by the arm and looked at her.

"Talk to me Katara." Katara didn't say anything, she just leaned over and set her forehead on his chest.

"Let me get it figured out first." Sokka nodded and hugged his sister. She pushed away from him and looked around him to see that Aang had stopped and was looking at her. She narrowed her eyes and pushed her brother aside. Sokka watched her as she stalked over to Aang. He blinked for a moment then turned to look at Zuko.

"Are you the father?" Zuko blinked at Sokka then looked back at Katara. Sokka's eyes widened a little and he shook his head.

"I think I would have preferred you actually." Zuko turned to look at Sokka his eyes very serious.

"Then that's the way it will be. I already told her that I will take responsibility." Sokka frowned.

"Why would you do that?" A small smirk crossed over his face.

"We've already played house once." Sokka's face went blank as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"You do care for my sister don't you."

"Very much." Zuko said as he looked over at Katara where she had grabbed Aang's ear and was dragging him off. "Just don't tell her that. Might make things weird." Sokka frowned for a second. He looked at Zuko then frowned harder.

"Wait. Did you just make a joke?" Zuko smiled and shook his head walking over to catch up with Toph and the animals. Sokka shook his head. Zuko might just be alright after all, might.

"Sit." Aang sat.

Katara looked down at him with tears in her eyes. She blinked them back. Dammit she was emotional. She took a deep breath and said the first thing that came to mind.

"You lied to me." Aang frowned.

"What?"

"You told me that Zuko was the father. You never told me that there was a chance you were." Aang blinked at her then furrowed his eyebrows.

"But there isn't. I mean...we didn't...unless I really don't understand how that works, there shouldn't be a way..." Katara stared at him blankly.

"Then what happened between us when we were alone." Aang sighed and looked to the ground.

"You told me that there was nothing between you and Zuko. That even though you wanted there to be that it would never work. He didn't show you the kind of attention that you needed..." Aang stopped as she sat down next to him.

"Go on."

"Things started getting...intense. I could feel the water in the pond calling to us. And it came to a point where my body needed the water and the water needed me. I thought since you are so connect to the water, that you must have been feeling the same. Before any clothes, other then my shirt, were removed. I rolled us into the water. I can remember you screaming. You jumped out of the water and the way that you looked at me scared me. It was like you were afraid of the water..."

"Must have been the demon." She said but a scowl was over her face.

"So if I didn't sleep with you, and I didn't sleep with Zuko..."

"You didn't?"

"No. But then why I do I feel this way? I know that I'm pregnant."

"How?" Katara rolled her eyes. Men just couldn't get it.

"I haven't had my cycle for one. But more then that, something in my mind just knows it. " She frowned. "Was there a time when I was out of sight? I mean that I wasn't around anyone?" Aang shook his head.

"No. You were with the either of us, or Toph or Sokka." Her head hurt. If she wasn't with either of them, or if she wasn't with a stranger, where did that leave her? Her eyes narrowed. Someone was lying. She stood up with a jerk. She took a few steps and froze. A sharp pain took her in the gut doubling her over. She hissed as she felt her insides were going to tear apart. Aang was at her side in an instant.

"Katara?! What?!" She closed her eyes tight and took a deep breath, but that intensified the pain and a scream tore from her mouth.

Zuko and Sokka both jerked their heads over to look at Katara. Before either of them realized it they were running towards her.

"What happened?" Sokka said as he came to a sliding stop. Zuko his the dirt and grabbed Katara's shoulders.

"Katara?! What's wrong?" Toph was right behind Sokka. Katara shuttered and sat up holding her stomach.

"I don't know...but whatever it is hurts like hell." Her eyes were glassy and blood shot. Zuko looked over to Sokka.

"We need to get water in her now!" Sokka nodded and took off towards Appa. Aang cocked his eyebrow and took the water pouch off of Katara's hip. Zuko grabbed it and gave Katara a stern order to drink. She did, but her eyes wavered as she slipped into unconsciousness. Sokka came running back with another water pouch in his hand.

"What happened?"

"She passed out." Aang said. Toph cleared her throat.

"She's pregnant right?" The boys looked at each other and nodded.

"As far as we know." Toph crossed her arms over her chest and shook her head.

"Then do you think that it is wise to leave her on the ground. Get her on Appa and let's get in the air." Zuko nodded and scooped her up in his arms. With the Avatar in front of him and Sokka and Toph behind him they ran straight to the large air bison. Aang lept up grabbing the reins. Zuko stopped and looked at the animal for a moment, pondering how he was going to get on the animal without hurting Katara. Toph stomped her foot, and a large piece of Earth pushed Zuko up enough from him to jump over. Zuko nodded a thanks as she jumped on with Sokka behind her. As the beast was in the air Zuko laid her down and raised her shirt exposing her abdomen. Sokka watched as Zuko set his hand over his sister's stomach. Zuko frowned and grabbed the water pouch and poured some of the contents on her stomach.

Sokka's eyes went wide as the water sizzled as it touched her skin. He leaned over and touched her stomach gently and pulled his hand back. She was burning up. He touched her arm, then her forehead and finally her neck. All of which were normal temperature. Sokka looked up at Zuko in horror.

"She's not having a.." Toph pushed Sokka out of the way and handed Zuko a papaya. Zuko took it and tore a piece of the peeling off. He pinched off a piece of the fruit and squished it between his fingers. He put it in her mouth and watched her. She blinked her eyes open and swallowed the fruit. She sat up and frowned, holding her stomach.

"What's going on?"

"You are kinda sick." Toph said shaking her head. Katara nodded and rolled over onto her side. She had just remembered that she was mad. Zuko touched her and she shrugged him off. He frowned and looked over at Sokka. Sokka shook his head telling Zuko to just leave her alone.

Katara closed her eyes as she found herself unbelievably tired. She drifted off to sleep. It wasn't too long before color and images began to form in her darkness. A smooth laughter rolled over her as Kuiodio appeared in front of her. The demons bright red hair flowed like flames around her as her orange eyes danced.

"What's the matter, Katara? Are you confused? Well you shouldn't be." Katara narrowed her eyes as the woman walked over to her.

"What did you do?" But she didn't get her answer, instead the spirit continued what she had been saying.

"It seems that neither of them are telling you what really happened. I'm guessing that you have figured out that one of them are lying. Has it occurred to you that it is possible that they both are?" Kuiodio didn't wait for an answer. She only laughed and set her arms on Katara's shoulders.

"Yes, my lovely little one. You are pregnant. And they both are lying. Lucky you. You get to decide who is going to be the father to your children." Katara blinked her eyes.

"Children? As in plural?" Kuiodio nodded.

"Yes. Two of them." She said touching Katara's stomach lightly. She kissed Katara on the forehead.

"An fire bender, and an air bender." Katara's eyes widened in horror. She took a step back and stared at the demon spirit.

"Then that means.."Kuiodio laughed again.

"Yes. Now you get it. Both of them are the father." She winked at Katara and smiled. "Like I said. Lucky you." Katara's eyes filled with tears of hatred as she stared at the woman.

"You bitch! You did this! You are trying to tear us apart!" Kuiodio's face went blank. She shook her head.

"No child. I want Zuko to suffer like he made me. You see once he gave me his blood, he became part of me. And when he took it back, it was a physical pain not just a prideful one. So merely by using you, I have gotten to him. You haven't any idea as to what is going through his mind about all of this. Don't be surprised if he abandons you." Katara covered her eyes and fought back the tears. Kuiodio's face went soft and she touched Katara's shoulder softly. She placed her hand over the girl's stomach.

"I could fix it though. All you would say is yes." Katara frowned and took a step away from the spirit.

"No. You're not tearing them out of me."

"But child. They aren't formed yet, no are they alive. I could simply take them away and they'd pass just like any other cycle. Mind you it would be a little more painful then normal, but you'd have things back to the way they were." Katara's nose curled up in disgust.

"That's horrible." Kuiodio smiled.

"Oh I don't think it is." Katara thought for a moment.

"What is going on with me now? Why am I hurting like this?"

"I did say that you are pregnant with an air bender and a fire bender, right now they are tiny, one a small speck of flame, the other a puff of air. They are battling to see who will be the dominate twin." Katara shook her head.

"You said they weren't alive."

"Yes I did say that. But you have understand. You're a water bender, and you have two completely different elements inside you that are not water. They are not only battling one another, but also your own immune system sees them as something that shouldn't be there. Regardless of whether or not they are alive, they are still different from you. It might be better on you to let me take care of them." Katara snarled her nose and shook her head.

"They are apart of me, and part of two men that I care for dearly." Kuiodio shook her head.

"You're really gonna keep that trash inside of you?" Katara spit in the demon's face before she realized what she was doing. Kuiodio's anger flared and her face turned demonic. Katara jumped with a start, jumping clear out of her sleep and almost off of Appa.

Sokka and Zuko grabbed her arms and hauled her up onto the beast. She grabbed her brother and wrapped her arms around him.

"Sokka, what the hell am I going to do?"
