Zuko improved significantly that week.
Katara took him to the healer's every other day, and they did some more work to help him heal quicker, and safer.
Zuko was able to walk normally on his own, and only had a few scars after a month of therapy, and healing.
"Good morning Katara!" He pulled her close, kissed her, and went to Honora. "Hello my little ray of sunshine!" He kissed her on the forehead and picked her up, spun her around, and put down a giggling 3 year old. "You ready for fire bending lessons?"
Honora nodded and smiled. Zuko smiled back and turned to Katara.
"We're going down to the beach to practice some fire bending! We'll see you in a few hours!" Zuko kissed Katara again, and held Honora's hand as they marched out the door and to the beach.
Kya changed her hairstyle daily. That day she was wearing many different braids in the front, that formed a small sphere that represented a bun. She had pinned it down with a special bead with a moon and waves on it. She had let her hair grow long and thick like Katara's, and she let her bottom layer of hair loose, and flow freely.
Katara smiled when she saw Kya's hair. "Fantastic job Ky! You, are really getting good! How about, instead of water bending, we go out together?"
Kya thought for a moment, then smiled and looked up, "O-kayy" she said slowly.
They walked into the town together and walked along the pavement together.
"So Kya, what do you think about Zuko?"
"He is nice." She looked up at Katara as she talked.
"Do you like him?" Katara asked nervously.
"Sure." Kya said after a moment.
"Well, I'm glad you do, because Zuko is going to be your step daddy!"
Kya stopped walking. "What about Aang?" She looked up at Katara sadly.
"Aang and I didn't communicate well with each other sweetie, Aang and I went our separate ways. But you like Zuko too, right?"
"I miss Aang. Zuko is ok. But I miss Aang." Kya sat down and looked at her knees.
"Oh Ky." Katara sat next to Kya, "I'm sorry you miss him. But it wasn't fair to each other. We didn't love each other. I know you'll understand one day, because you are a smart girl, and I also know you will love Zuko too, because you are a loving girl too." Katara held Kya's little hand and put her forehead against hers.
"Okay..." Kya mumbled. She stood up.
"Let's keep walking. I heard that there was a water tribe store a few blocks away!"
Kya's eyes looked a bit happier after she heard that and perked up as they walked down the streets.
Zuko stood with Honora on the grass as they stretched and worked on their handstands and flexibility.
"Let me see your splits." Zuko asked Honora. She quickly spread her legs on the ground and went into her splits.
"Great, great." Zuko judged. "Great posture, you're a fabulous student, Honora." He praised. "Now, do a back handspring!" Honora obeyed and went slowly into a back handspring. "Again, great. That's all I want to see today but I will want to see more next week, so be ready. Now, let's work with fire."
They moved down to the beach and did some warm ups. Then Zuko got to the lessons.
"Today, we will be learning about defense, and how to stop fire when it comes at you. There are a couple of different options. You can rebound the fire, make it go out, dodge out of the way, or make more fire to stop it. I will be teaching you how to rebound fire." Honora stepped back as Zuko got ready to demonstrate. "Now Honora, I'd like you to throw some fire at me, then quickly move out of the way."
Honora nodded, and breathed in. She kicked her foot in front of her, fire burst out, and it started hurling out towards Zuko. Zuko moved into defense position and acted as if her were grabbing the fire and pushing it in another direction. He put his hands together, closed his eyes, and looked at Honora.
"What you do, is when the fire comes at you, you push it away. Just simply push, and guide it in the direction you want it to go in."
Honora blinked and nodded, as if she understood perfectly. They kept working at it.
Katara and Kya found the Watertribe shop and went in eagerly.
"Wow, isn't it beautiful, Kya?"
Kya nodded slowly and observed everything around her in awe. Katara went to the kids' section with Kya, and they looked for some robes together. Then, they went to Katara's size in the womens' section. They made out like bandits and left happily.
"How was it?" Katara asked Kya.
"Good." Kya replied quietly.
"We got a lot of clothing, are you excited to wear it?"
"Yes."
They walked together until they saw a stand of fruits.
"Do you want something to eat, Kya?"
"Yes, please." Kya bit her lip.
"Two mangoes please?" Katara asked the merchant politely
"Sure thing" The merchant washed two mangoes, cut the mangoes into several pieces, and handed them to Katara in two paper bowls.
Kya and Katara went and sat down at a table nearby and ate their snacks.
"So, is there anything that you don't like about Zuko?" Katara asked Kya, looking for some way to help their relationship grow.
"I don't know. I miss Aang." Kya started to look as sad as a drooping flower.
"Kya, I really love Zuko. But if you don't want me to, I won't marry him." Katara stared at Kya at empathy.
Kya was young, but she was smart, and she knew that it would be wrong to tell her not to marry who she loves because of her. She looked up at Katara and shook her head. "No, you don't change mind. You marry Zuko." Kya did her best to show that she didn't miss Aang.
"Okay, but if you ever have something against Zuko, please tell me. Maybe you two could work out your differences!" Katara stroked Kya's hair and half smiled. "I love you Kya, and I want you to know that."
"I love you too," Kya smiled.
Katara brought Kya home in the evening and put her to sleep. She lay down on the living room couch and soon fell asleep.
Zuko walked to Katara, crouched down, and kissed her gently on the forehead. Katara opened her eyes and smiled at her fiancé. She put her hands around his neck and pulled him closer to her. They kissed each other and gently bit one another's lips. They stopped and Zuko caressed her neck. "Katara," He slowly glided her to their room. "Would you do me the honor?" Katara giggled at the pun and nodded slowly. She slipped his shirt off and they kissed in bed for a few hours.
"How long have we been doing this?" Katara kissed his chest scars and pushed her foot onto his ankle.
"Not long enough." Zuko twisted around and pushed himself into her.
"So, we've decided to try?" Katara observed as he lay on top of her.
"No turning back now." He whispered into her ear.
Katara smirked and groaned. She couldn't believe it. They were going to have a kid! Or, try, at least. Zuko ran his fingers down her stomache and pulled her closer. Katara grunted.
"I hope this works. But it wouldn't be so bad if we had to do this again..." She turned her head and whispered flirtatiously. Zuko nodded and slid himself out. Katara saw the opening and pinned him on the bed. She kissed him again and they fell asleep.
