To my anonymous reviewer, Anon: This takes place ten years after the war, so the Gaang are no longer children. Zuko, as Fire Lord, has learned some social skills. Azula's been out of Ozai's influence for ten years, and she's spent seven of those in a mental hospital. She's a kinder, gentler Azula now. Besides, she was alone with her brother, and she's gay in this AU. She was not going to act all seductive with him. Alone with Ty Lee, maybe. But not Zuzu. And as for Aang, in Ba Sing Se, he was lonely, missing his beloved. The other times we see him, he's learning he was pregnant, intent on seduction, or telling friends and family about his pregnancy. Neither of those are situations where acting like a child is appropriate. He still is silly at times, of course. But his silliness is tempered with the fact that he's now 122 years old, and he restrains his silliness to times and places where it's appropriate. I handle mpreg like it's a normal het pregnancy, with a healthy dollop of 'how'd you manage that one?'. If I'm breaking a mpreg rule by handling it that way, then I apologize. I have read mpreg. Most mpreg, I've found, is crackfic. I don't write crackfic. I do try to work in humor, especially when Sokka's involved. But this is a serious story. If this is not to your tastes, I'm sorry, but I think you should find something else to read in that case.

"You're going to be a great-uncle, Uncle." I stared at my nephew for a moment, letting his words sink in. If I was going to be a great-uncle, that would imply that Zuko was going to be a father. Aang seemed remarkably at ease with the situation, considering that it meant my nephew would have had to have slept with someone else. Probably many times.

"Who's the mother?" I hoped he didn't say 'Mai.' She was a nice girl, and at one time, she had made my nephew happy. I didn't think she'd make a very good mother, though. Children needed parents who would show them love and affection, and from what I had observed, Mai seemed to have a difficult time showing any emotions. She also still cared deeply for my nephew, and having a brief relationship in order for him to have the heir he needs would hurt her badly.

"Aang's the mother. We're having twins."

"Roku said one would be a Firebender, the other an Airbender," Aang chimed in. I filed that away for future reference.

"How is Aang pregnant?"

"I was supposed to be born a girl, and because of that the spirits were able to help me conceive." Zuko looked at him, surprised.

"You never told me that part."

"I was going to, but then you started crying and then I scr-er, we ended up making love again. Remember?" They were both blushing, and it wasn't hard to figure out what Aang had been going to say.

"So I'm going to have grandbabies, then? It's about time I got some. You and Aang have been dating ten years, and your sister was released from the hospital years ago."

"Aang was twelve when we started dating! Are you suggesting I should have tried to get a twelve year old pregnant, Uncle?"

"I was a hundred and twelve!"

"Sorry, love. I forget how sensitive you are about our age gap sometimes." Zuko kissed him lightly. "Besides, Azula didn't have any idea how to flirt with boys, or anything like that. She always ended up scaring them all away, until Ty Lee started teaching her."

"Yes, and then they ended up dating, so it's highly unlikely I'll be getting grandbabies out of her anytime soon," I grumbled. "You two will just have to give me lots of grandbabies to make up for that."

"We plan to. Right, Zuko?" Zuko smiled at him.

"As many kids as you're willing to have." Good. Lots of grandbabies for me to spoil. I planned to spoil all the kids Aang and Zuko's friends had as well, but I was especially looking forward to spoiling their children, since I would be their great-uncle.

"I wonder if I can get them to call me grandpa."
