I was craving foods, like chocolate and ice cream. Zuko was making sure that I was as comfortable as possible. He kept apologising and saying that it was his fault. I just hushed him and said that I was fine, and that we would be great parents. I'd be so sick in the mornings and I hoped it wouldn't change his mind and make him think all that again.
"Zuko!" I yelled. I was feeling horrible pains in my stomach. He ran in and held me in his arms.
"Is it time?" he asked, his brows furrowed in pain, maybe thinking that it was his fault that I was in such agony.
I looked at him, as I did another pain shot inside of me. Oh no, it is time.
"Yes, get my bag," He grabbed the bag and scooped me up in one try. I couldn't move, I was in so much pain, so I just gripped on to his shoulders and closed my eyes waiting for it to end. The weird thing was that I didn't know anything of what I had to do, or what was happening to me.
"It will be fine, Katara, I promise you, I won't leave" I tried to listen, I really did, but all I could hear was the blood rushing in my ears. My heart was pounding fast. I just sat in his arms waiting.
"Sugar queen? Katara?" I was day dreaming and looked up to see Toph. What was she doing here? And there was Aang too.
"What? Is it over?" I asked. Aang laughed.
"No where near, we just came to see you." As he spoke, I felt a worse pain shoot through me.
"Where's Zuko?" I asked nearly hyperventilating.
"It's ok, he's just gone to get a coffee" I remember him leaving to get a coffee, and him asking if I'd be ok with it.
"No, I'm here" Zuko said sounding like a, like a fire lord.
"He-" I broke off in pain grabbing the bump.
"Katara?" Zuko was scared, I could tell. He put down the coffee and put his hands on mine. Toph started to call for a nurse. I didn't know what to do, I was so scared.
A nurse came in, took one look at the scene and turned around to get my doctor. I didn't want to know what was going to happen next, but I was pretty sure that it wouldn't be pretty. I don't think you want to know what happened next, so I'll just skip to the end.
I'd said all of the swear words I could think of at the time and Zuko's hand had turned a revolting colour of light purple. I was dripping with sweat and Aang wasn't even going to bother to look, because he knew we, Zuko and I, would have both screamed at him. I just held my other hand while Toph was standing listening to the whole scene.
"One more push sweetie" The doctor told me. I was so exhausted I screamed at the doctor telling him to, uh, well I told him to fuck off and to not call me sweetie. I pushed one more time.
And there he was. Our beautiful Angelo.
