Katara stopped and started crying again. She put her head on Zuko's chest and started singing.

Even if you're lost you can't

lose the love because

it's in your heart.

Ohhhh.

She sang this over and over again, and finally she stopped.

"Don't leave me." She whispered.

Then, out of nowhere, his chest slowly rose and Katara jerked up.

"Zuko?" She whispered.

"Katara," He yelped. "My hands." Katara looked down at his hands and her eyes widened.

His hands were red, swollen, and bumpy looking.

She calmed herself down and slipped her water in his body through his stab wounds. She moved it slowly to his hand and closed her eyes. Katara used her water to show herself where everything was like an X-ray. She bended some water around a bone and moved it to it's natural position. She moved all of the other bones into place and worked on his other hand. She brought the water back out slowly and got some more clean water from the rain coming down through the hole in the roof.

Katara moved back to Zuko's chest and healed him some more. He started looking a little better and Katara stopped.

"I think it would be best if I take you to a healer." She put her arm around his back and helped him sit up.

Zuko nodded and kissed Katara. He stood up slowly and groaned. Katara helped him stand and let him put his arm over her shoulder and neck.


The walk was slow and painful, but they finally made it to a good healer before either of them passed out.

"Katara?" The healer's assistant called. "Dr. Takumi will see you now."

Katara helped Zuko stumble into the healer's room and lay him down on the table.

The doctor came in shortly after they arrived in his room.

"Wow. What is it that happened?" Dr. Takumi examined Zuko's deep wounds and sat beside him.

"He was attacked by douches." Katara said plainly.

"Yes, but what kind of..." He gulped and tried to twist around the word. "Person, attacked him?" He finally said.

"Some gang. They attacked a meeting, and he was a victim. I think it was two water benders... Of course I taught them a lesson, but I don't think they've learned enough." Katara narrowed her eyebrows and scowled.

"Okay... Well, he's not in good condition. I'll need some time with him." The healer went to a large bucket and her pulled out purified water. He walked back to Zuko and laid the bucket beside him.

"Will you need help? Because I'm not leaving until Zuko is fully healed." Katara informed firmly.

"Well, if that's what's going to happen, why don't you help me clean him. You seem to be awfully protective of him."

"He's my fiancé! How do you expect me to act after he's almost been killed?"

"Please ma'm. Can we leave arguing for later? We have to save him."

Katara sighed and nodded. She leaned over Zuko's chest and bended out some purified water. She cleaned his wounds over and over again until Dr. Takumi told her to stop.

"Now, if you would like, you could help me heal him." He directed. Katara just bended out new water and started healing Zuko. The healer put some water through to his bones and intestines. "Nothing seems to be broken." He pulled the water out and healed his flesh.

Katara finally saw some improvement in Zuko's skin hours later. It started to return to it's normal color, and she stopped. The healer saw the improvement too, and he started to stitch up Zuko.


They got home in the evening and Honora and Kya were already asleep.

"I can't believe we were gone the entire day." Zuko put his hand on his head and stirred around.

"Why don't we get you in bed. You aren't in a stable condition." Katara helped him to their bed and she lay next to him.

"Katara?"

"Yes, my love?"

"Are we actually going to try to have children together?"

"Obviously not now. You're injured! But maybe in the future. If you don't want to though, I won't force you." Katara turned to her side and caressed Zuko's cheek.

"But when?"

"However long you'd like to wait."

"How long."

"I don't know Zuko! Maybe a couple years? Maybe one year. Maybe just a couple of months! It really depends on the mood." Katara turned on her back again and yawned.

"We should go to sleep." Zuko groaned and yawned as well.

"I agree. Goodnight Zuko."

"Goodnight Katara."
