(5 months after the vacation)
Katara was big. Her belly was huge, and Mai was pregnant too.
Katara was about 7 months pregnant, so she was almost done with her pregnancy, food cravings, and nausea. Mai of course was a little more than halfway there.
After Zuko got home he got Mai pregnant stupidly and Mai seemed to forgive him for kissing Katara in her mind. She assumed he was genuinely in love with her and she decided that they could start a family together.
Zuko kept writing to Katara and Katara kept writing back. He was ask her how her pregnancy was doing and how Aang was doing and she would update him. Then she found out that Mai was pregnant and she asked him how she was doing. After a while though the letters became sad because it reminded them how much they miss each other.
Zuko couldn't take it anymore. He decided to ask Katara if she and Aang would stay in the Royal Palace for a couple of months and then he sent the hawk eagerly. Zuko was going crazier than Azula without his true love.
Katara and Aang arrived at the palace 4 days later. Zuko showed Aang and Katara their room and then showed them the palace. It was a huge place, bigger than the very inner walls of Bah Sing Se, so it took all day to tour, and by the time they were finished, it was evening and Katara was tired.
She went to go to bed and Aang came and tucked her in.
"Are you sure that it's fine?" Aang asked. He was going with Zuko to a war meeting early in the morning, and he wouldn't see me until the end of the day tomorrow. Honestly, Katara was actually kind of happy that Aang wouldn't be there. That meant a day without kisses 24/7.
"It really is. You have to do what you have to do. You're the avatar, and the world needs you too." Katara said sincerely.
"Okay, if it's okay with you." Aang pulled up my shirt, and kissed my pumpkin belly. Then he told the baby he loved him/her, and left.
The next morning Aang kissed Katara on the cheek and left for the meeting. Katara was secretly awake because he woke up around the same time she does, and she didn't want him to find out because that would be a really quick make out- and the last thing a 7 month pregnant woman wanted, was a make out.
Katara heard Zuko and Aang leaving, and got up 5 minutes later when the coast was clear.
She walked down the hall to the kitchen and asked the chef is he would make a large breakfast for her. He said yes gladly, it was his job after all. Mai came out an hour later and started talking with Katara.
"So, do you know what you will name your baby?" Mai started the small talk.
"Well, I would name the baby Kya if it is a girl, and Aang would decide between Tenzin and Bumi if it is a boy. He said the name needs to fit the personality though, so it could change depending on the baby's behavior. What about you?"
"Well, I don't know what I would want to name the baby, but Zuko knows. He would name a girl Honora, and a boy, Iroh. I'm guessing Iroh after his Uncle, and Honora so she knows that she will always have honor even if something bad happens." Mai established.
"Interesting. Good stories behind the names!" Katara exclaimed.
They kept on talking about babies until Mai brought up the final question.
"Do you know where you will give birth?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, will you give birth in bed, or at a healers, or in a bathtub, or out in a garden. Where do you want the child birth to happen?"
Katara thought for a moment. "Either in bed, at a healers, or by the pond, or a lake, or somewhere by water. It depends on what Aang and I decide on." Then they talked about their spouses until lunch. They ate a feast for 12 together and started talking again, but this time about their happiness, and emotions, and Mai's favorite: mood swings.
"I don't understand what happens. I'm just cuddling with Zuko when BAM. I whap him in the face! I don't get it! It knocks emotion into me!" Mai complained.
Pretty soon, the entire day went by and neither of them noticed until Aang and Zuko came home.
"Hey Katara" Aang said and kissed her. Then he pulled up her shirt, put his head under, and kissed Katara's belly until he was content.
Zuko did the same to Mai, but you could tell he didn't mean it. He didn't actually want to kiss her or her skin, but he was pressured into it by his marriage.
(Katara's POV)
Zuko looked at me quickly and winked. Then he walked by and whispered "Meet me in the powder room tonight" quickly and quietly. I fake yawned and looked at Aang.
"Honey, I've been having bad dreams without you. Would you come into bed with me?" I jumped into his arms which were surprisingly strong enough to hold me and the baby.
"Sure my darling. It was a long war meeting anyway so I was about to go to bed." Aang started walking and I winked at Zuko quickle then put my head on Aang's shoulder.
"I'm tired too. I'm going to bed." Mai said quietly.
"Do you mind if I stay out here? I'm kind of hungry," Zuko asked Mai.
"Fine," Mai said.
Aang took off my outer clothing and placed me into the bed. Then he kissed my belly more and tucked me in. He got into bed and after a few minutes I could hear his steady breathing and snoring. I slid out of bed and shuffled out of the room in my white wrap under wear. I quietly waddled along the empty hallway until I stumble into the bathroom to find a shirtless Zuko.
"Hey Zuzu," I said flirtatiously.
"I feel wrong kissing another man's pregnant woman, but I'm going to anyway." He came over to me, wrapped one of his arms under my belly to give it support, and put the other one around my back. Then we french kissed for a minute until I wrapped my arms around his neck and we kissed normally. Zuko picked me up, sat down and laid me in his lap and we continued kissing. The baby kicked a little and I grunted. Zuko stopped. "Are you okay?" He worried.
"Yeah, the baby's just kicking a little." Zuko laid me of the rug, and kissed my belly over and over again. I winced and groaned until it finally stopped kicking, and then Zuko crawled so he put his hands by my shoulders, moved his back up, and continued kissing me like that.
The baby started kicking again and I decided it was too much to handle at once. I stopped and sat up.
"God, I wish it would stop." Zuko kissed my belly again. Then he got up.
"Maybe we should wait until it's out of you. I think it's not right to do this while you're pregnant. Why don't you go back to sleep now, okay?"
He helped me up and made out with me for 2 minutes. "Okay. Goodnight." I answered glumly, than I waddled back to my room unnoticed.
Next chapter will take place 2 months later. I think you understand why, it would be boring to just read week after week until the babies are out. Next chapter will also be out tomorrow. Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed, and please review down below!
