Disclaimer: I do not own anything. Everything, except plot and my own original characters, belongs to Nickelodeon, Mike, and Bryan. How ever before reading my story, you might want to read Silk by Musicbender. This is a sequel to that story.

I was a little busy over this week. That's why I look longer on this chapter. Anyways thanks to raidersfan777, harimonkids, and SMILE for reviewing.

She heard a knock at her door. "Come in," she said while stocking her long chocolate brown hair.

"Katara we have to talk," he told her with a frown on his face.

Katara stopped stoking her hair and turned to face him. She tried to stay calm in his presence. She did not want the wise old man to know how nervous she was.

"Yes Iroh. How can I help you," she said calmly and respectfully.

"I want know who is Nami's father!"

Katara did not reply. She stared at her feet in shame. Iroh began to pace back and forth.

"I knew it. From the first day I saw her face. Katara you must tell my nephew," he said.

"How did you know she was his?"

"Lady Katara, she showed me her bending today when I came to visit Avatar Momoru. She is a natural born firebender. How long do you believe you can hide her from her father?"

She stood up from the edge of her bed and said with anger, "She showed you her bending, I've told her a thousand times not to use her bending."

"Katara, do not try to change the subject. How long do you believe you can hide her from her father," he said raising his voice.

"As long as it takes Iroh. I don't want him to know. Not know not ever," she said narrowing her eyes at him.

"Katara you are being selfish not telling Zuko he has a child. A child he doesn't even know of."

There was silence between the two. Katara began to think maybe she was being selfish. She broke the silence, "No, Iroh. I'm not selfish. I'm protecting my daughter from being rejected by your people. She is only six and to be put through the feeling of rejection is not right. You know the council will never allow her to be Fire Lady. Why won't they accept her? I'll tell you why. It's because she is not a purebred. She is a child of two different nation. A child of both water and fire; moon and sun."

Katara walked onto the balcony and looked up at the moon. "Sometimes I wish he wasn't royalty, so we could be together. So we could be a family."

She closed her eyes and a tear ran down her cheek. She felt a warm hand touch her shoulder. She turned to see Iroh's hazel eyes. He embraced her and patted her back. "Child, you must tell Fire Lord Zuko about your child. It's Nami's birth right to become Fire Lady. Zuko needs an heir to the throne."

Katara looked at him with confusion. Iroh explained, "Mai can't have children. They have tried and tried, but every time she lost the unborn child."

"I'm so sorry Iroh. I had no idea."

"There is nothing to apologize Katara, it was not your fault."

"Even if I do tell Zuko about Nami, she can't be Fire Lady until she masters firebending."

"I will show her how to firebend. I will come to show Avatar Momoru and Nami."

"Are you sure Iroh?"

"Of course, she is blood."

"You promise you won't tell Zuko."

"I will not tell my nephew. It is your responsibility to tell him not mine."

"I will tell him Iroh, when the time is right."

But now she was heading towards the Fire Nation. She was staring out into the endless sea, holding on to the rail of the boat. What could he want after all these years? Does he know about Nami? A hand touched her shoulder and she jumped back.

"Hey are you okay," Sokka asked worried for his little sister.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little nervous."

The both looked at the endless blue ocean. "What could he possibly want after 17 years? Do you think he knows," she asked nervously.

"I don't know Katara. The message said it was urgent and he need to see all of us immediately," he said shrugging his shoulders.

"I know what the message said Sokka. I studied it for hours and hours. I put it down as soon as I realized Nami was beginning to worry," Katara said rubbing her forehead.

"You think the old man ratted you out."

Katara narrowed her eyes at Sokka . "Don't you ever talk about Iroh like that. He is a man of great honor and he would never betray me."

Sokka said with a smirk on his face, "Then why do you think Zuko would know?"

He was right, she had nothing to worry about. She began to relax. Other than Suki, Sokka, and Toph, Iroh was the only one that knew who is Nami's real father is. "You're right there is nothing to worry about."

A guard came up to the deck where Sokka and Katara were at. He bowed respectfully and said, " Chief, we are approaching the city."

"Good. Inform my niece her mother would like to speak to her," he commanded.

Moments later, Nami was on the deck walking towards her mother. "You wanted to see me mom," she asked.

"Yes. I wanted to tell you that while we stay here in the Fire Nation, I don't want you to use your bending," she told her staring into her sea blue eyes.

Angered by the command, she said, "What?! You already commanded me not to wear my blue and red robes. Making me wear these purple robes. Do I shame you mother?!"

"Of course not Nami, I'm very proud of you. It's just I want to protect you." Katara said placing her hand on Nami's shoulder.

"But how can I protect you and myself if you don't let me use my bending."

"You will have to use the fans your Aunt Toph made for you."

Nami pulled out the cold metal fans from her sleeves. The fans her Aunt Toph crafted especially for her. Her Aunt Suki taught her how to properly use them. "Okay mom, for you."

She embraced her and said, "Thank you Nami."

They finally docked. Many servants were waiting for the family. Each servant escorted the family in to a carriage. Katara, Nami, and Momoru were in the first carriage. Sokka and Suki in the second, and Kane and Yue in the last carriage.

Once inside the palace, two guards led the family of seven into the conference room. The room was decorated red and gold and had a big gold table in the center of the room that could fit 40 people. Only seven of the many chairs were filled. On one side, there was a man that had dark brown hair, chocolate skin, and brown eyes. A woman sat next to him. She had turqouise green eyes, pale white skin, and raven black hair. They sat together with their four children, Mayumi, Sora, Habiki, and Kai. Mayumi was the oldest of the four. She looked exactly like her father, was a non-bender, but a highly skilled archer. Kai had his father's eyes, mother's skin color, and his mother's raven black hair; he was a waterbender. Habiki looked exactly like his mother and was a soundbender just like her. Sora had her mother's turqouise green eyes, father's chocolate skin, father's dark brown hair, and was a soundbender just like her mother. She was the youngest of the four. On the other side of the table, sat a woman of great wealth, but was always sad. For she had lost the love of her life.

"Aunt Toph," Kane, Nami, and Yue yelled as they ran to embrace their aunt.

"Hello Children," she said with a half hearted smile.

Katara looked at the man and woman, "Hello Jet. Hello Yisu. It's nice to see you and your family again."

Jet looked at her and smiled. Yisu smiled and said, "Hello Katara. It's nice to see you too."

Somebody smacked Jet's back. He turned around in pain. " Hey Jet, long time no see," the voice said.

"Spirits. Sokka you don't have to hit me so hard. What's your problem," he growled.

"Yup, same old Jet," Sokka laughed.

They heard a gong and sat down. Katara stared at the table and began to tap the table nervously. A hand touched her. "Hey it will be alright," Suki said softly.

Katara nodded her head. The door opened. A servant came in and announced, "Fire Lord Zuko."

He bowed and moved away from the door to reveal the Fire Lord. Katara saw him and her heart skipped a beat. He still looked the same. His golden eyes met her sea blue eyes. She felt her body begin to tremble. He gave her a warm smile. Oh, how his smile made her heart melt.

"Hello Katara, it seems you have grown even more beautiful since the last time I saw you," he said softly.

She looked at the table, trying to keep herself from blushing. "Thank you," she said.

She nervously turned around and looked at Nami, "This is my daughter Nami."

Nami stood up and bowed, " Fire Lord Zuko, it's and honor to finally meet you."

"You have done an excellent job raising her, Katara. She is a woman of great beauty and very respectful."

He turned and walked towards the front of the room and said, "My dearest friends, I have called all of you here today to announce the grand opening of Avatar Aang's memorial. It has taken longer than expected, but we have finally finished. Tomorrow we will announce it to the public. We will also announce the arrival of our new avatar, Avatar Momoru."

Katara let out a sigh of relief.

"Today all of you will stay here as my guests. We will talk about our experiences over the years we were apart."

Everybody clapped. "Now shall we all go to the dinning room to eat."

Sokka, Kane, and Nami ran towards the dinning room. "Kids," Suki said with a hint of sarcasm.

By now the room was empty, except for Katara and Zuko. She walked towards him. "Zuko...I have something to tell you."

He turned around quickly and embraced her. Katara embraced him back. His arms were still warm and strong just like she remembered. "I've missed you so much," he whispered gently in her ear.

"Me too," she whispered back.

Suddenly the door flew open causing them to break apart. A little girl came running in. A little girl with golden eyes, raven black hair, and snow white skin. "Daddy, daddy," she cried.

He grabbed her and kissed her cheek. "Katara, this is my daughter Hikari."

"Oh... She is so beautiful," she said covering her mouth.

"What is it you wanted to tell me," he asked her.

Seeing his daughter in his arms, she said, "That it's nice to see you again."

He smiled, "Should we go eat?"

Leaning on the door, she said with a blank expression on her face, "Yes, you should."

"Mai, we were just heading towards the dinning room," he said.

"You better hurry. The big oath and two little oaths are eating everything," she said bitterly.

"How dare you talk about my brother, my nephew, and most importantly my daughter like that," Katara snapped at her.

Katara stood in attack position. The water flowing in her palms. Mai pulled her daggers out of her sleeves. Both stood in silence waiting for the first strike. With his free hand, Zuko grabbed Mai's hand. He look into her eyes and said, " Apologize. Now!"

Mai was surprised by her husband's reaction, but did what he asked.

Zuko looked at both of them with anger in his eyes and said, "Now, lets go eat."

He put his arm around Mai and walked out the door. Katara followed behind them. Seeing Mai's head lay on his shoulder while he carried Hikari, she began to wonder this could have been Nami and me.
