Another little one-shot. Zutara is my pairing.
Babies Make Everything Better
"Kitten. Kitten. Katara. Wake up."
Zuko shook Katara's shoulder, then poked her in the head. She swatted his hand away, then buried her face in the pillow.
"Come on Kitten, wake up."
"Zuko, please, it's the middle of the night."
"Look."
He sat on the bed, cradling their infant son in his arms. He poked the baby in the stomach, and he smiled. When he stopped smiling, Zuko poked him again, and again the baby smiled.
"It's like pressing a button for smiles."
Katara blinked at her husband in the dim light.
"You did not wake me up for that."
Author's Note: I wanted Zuko to have a nickname for Katara, and have seen both Kat and 'Tara around the fandom. I was going through variations on her name, and went from Kat to Kitten. I totally imagine Zuko being embarrassed about calling her a nickname, so he'd only do it in private. Like right now. This made me smile the whole time I was writing it, and here's hoping it makes you smile, too.
