Chapter 2: Travels

Katara's POV.

I woke up with sun shining bright in my face.

I sat up noticing my love wasn't beside me. But since the sun seemed so high in the sky, it must have been late. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes as I yawned and forced myself from the comfy, warm bed. I grabbed my red robes to cover myself and went to get breakfast.

I walked into the dining hall that had a sun roof that let light shine right onto the table, which had any breakfast-like food you can think of. I grabbed a plate of eggs, bacon, and toast. I took a cup of Jasmine tea and sat down and began to eat when Zuko walks in.

"Yay, food!" He says, grabbing a huge plate of food, "And look who's finally up." He says, getting two cups of tea and sitting next me, digging into his food.

"Yeah." I say slowly, "How late is it?"

"Probably around noon. I've been up since at least six and I haven't gotten to eat yet. I've been making preparations for out trip. And by the way Aang answered. He said him and Toph would watch over the country while we're gone. He says he'd be happy to fill in for us so we can have a…what I guess Toph called, 'A romantic get away.'" Zuko said, stuffing eggs into his mouth.

"That's great!" I exclaimed, smiling, leaning up to kiss him on the cheek. He smiled too.

"We should be able to leave in a few weeks…Aang will be here and about a day or two and we have to get the transportation ready and all that stuff."

"That's wonderful Zuko! I'm so excited to go back there…" I said, gazing off into space day dreaming of me and Zuko on the icy landscape.

"Yeah. I didn't really get to observe the place the last time…I was…there." Zuko trailed off. That's right! The last time he was there was when we all hated him. So much has changed…my thoughts trailed off into more day dreams of our soon-to-be second honeymoon.

• • •

I won't bore you with the events of trip preparations over the next few months. It was just getting ships ready, having Toph and Aang settled in the palace and letting the nation know of our departure. Which I don't think they cared since, sadly, they seemed to hate Zuko. But I don't think Zuko cared either, he was happy as can be.

He was even smiling when he heard that our trip was delayed a few days. It was for weather reasons but he still got the days off which gave us some quality time together. We sent these days wondering the beaches and going on dates like we were teenagers again. The only down side was that there was one girl with blonde curls who would occasionally throw things at him when she saw him. I wondered why she looked so familiar…But other than that everything seemed to go smoothly. Zuko now knew, from the extra days at the palace, that Aang would take care of everything and this second honeymoon was going to be amazing.

On the day of out departure, Zuko's mother nearly broke down in tears, "Oh Zuko," She said through quivering breaths, "I'm going to be a grandmother when you return won't I?" My heart skipped a beat at the fact of me having a baby.

"Soon-to-be grandmother." Zuko corrected, holding me closer. She smiled through her tears, "Oh Katara I'm going to miss you not keeping me company." She said, squeezing me in a tight hug. We had become very close in the past few years. I was very proud to call her my mother in law.

"Oh, I'll be back soon with a growing belly and then I promise we can spend lot's of time with the baby." My stomach twisted in knots. It just hit me that when I returned I would be pregnant. Zuko and I were sure of that.

"Oh, I can't wait!" She exclaimed. I smiled as we turned to Aang and Toph.

"Good luck taking care of the nation…?" I said, not sure of what to say.

"Yes and Aang, make sure you tell me everything important that happens okay?" Zuko said, firmly.

"Yes, Fire Lord, Zuko." Aang said in sarcastic, worshiping tone. We all laughed and exchanged hugs. Aang's felt uncomfortably long but I didn't think anything of it at the time.

We boarded the ship and waved goodbye to everyone. Zuko held me close, his arm firmly around my waist, as we waved. That's the first time in a long time that he's done that, I thought.

Finally, everyone disappeared from our view as the ship sailed and Zuko had to go talk to the captain or something. I put my hand over the rail and pulled it upwards making the water rise. I bended the water around as I gazed forward. We didn't leave until later in the day so the sun was beginning to touch the horizon, making the water turn an orange like color. A breeze blew past me, making me shiver a little. I pulled my hand away and the water fell with a soft splash. Then, suddenly, arms wrapped around me and I was pulled backwards into the embrace of a man.

"Are you cold?" Zuko asked softly.

"Just a little." I said, looking back at him. He smiled at me.

"I can't wait until we get there." I said, thoughtfully.

"Me neither," he said, "You've been in the Fire Nation all of this time, it's my turn to stay in a place where you feel at home."

"Well that's a very nice thing to say." I said, as I leaned up to kiss him.

Zuko's POV.

I watched Katara as she bended the water while staring at the sunset. This is the eighth time she's done that this these past weeks, I thought. I decided not to hug her from behind when she did that. Once I startled her so badly she almost fell over board. I freaked out, she got a good laugh about it, like the optimist she is.

I smiled as I saw her smile as she did more elaborate moves with the water. She's so graceful when she bends, I thought to myself, Unlike me. The pessimist who over thinks everything. I started to frown a little. I hated how I always looked down at everything.

Sure, Katara had changed a lot of that, but I still found myself slipping into my old ways. The ways that she used to hate. And I was sure she still did because when I get angry, she doesn't say anything or she just talks very quietly, so we don't usually get into fights. Actually, I can't recall us having one. She was so full of great ideas, so I couldn't go against them because they were better than mine. Unless it was to deal with my nation…then I'd make every decision and now my people hate me. Some Fire Lord I am!

Getting angry at myself for thinking stuff like this, I walked over to Katara.

"Hey." I said, making sure I didn't startle her. The water fell back into the ocean as she turned to me, smiling.

"You know, you should start wearing those custom-made water tribe robes. If not, then I'll be the one having to keep you warm." She said, embracing me and staring into my eyes.

"I know," I said, "I just can't believe we're so close to the North Pole already."

"Just a few more days…until the best vacation ever." she said, winking at me.

"Yeah…maybe we should go into our quarters…it's getting really cold out here and we can make it plenty warm in there." I said, winking at her this time. She had a sexy grin on her face as she pulled me toward the middle of the ship.

Only a few more days…

Ok, SO sorry i take forever! Please don't hate me for it now being that long either :( this chapter is just a filler i guess...but don't worry! More action and stuff will be coming up! these one's are just kind of showing Zuko and Katara's close relationship and how they'll obviously be having a baby and what about those riots? And that blonde girl? Do you remember her? It was long ago! Anyways i'll try my hardest to get the next chapter up but if i can't right away i'm sorry!
