Pairing: Zuko and Suki
Rating: K

Suki sat the ten month old girl in the little green coat on the snow covered ground, holding her long enough so that she could steady herself on her chubby legs. Suki laughed at her daughter Zarra as she stood back up, her hands going to Zuko's arm.

Zarra half walked, half stumbled away from her parents atop the soft South Pole Snow. She looked out at the pure surroundings, her honey eyes scanning the white horizon. She twisted her body and looked back at her parents. She raised her arms above her head and squealed happily.

Both Suki and Zuko laughed at her, her kneels buckling and her bottom hitting the show. She looked a little disappointed, but reached down and placed her hand on the soft show.

Zuko walked to his daughter, crouching down behind her, "What are you doing?" his voice was soft as he spoke to the girl, a smile on his face. She looked back at him with her large eyes, babbling as she patted the snow.

"Its cold." He sat down in front of her, his hands scooping up some of the snow and holding it out to her. She put her hands into the show her father held for her, cackling happily. He laughed softly as well, watching her face turn serious as she realized that the new substance was quickly disappearing from his hands. She looked at him with her eye brows drawn, her lips drawn into a sharp line.

"It's cause our hands are warm." He explained in a soft voice, the last of the show falling though his fingers as water.

She withdrew her hands from his empty ones, then moved them back down to the show. She gathered as much snow as she could in her small fists, lifting them up and putting them into her father's hands. She laughed ecstatically as he smiled down at her, the snow quickly melting.

"She catches on quick." Suki commented as she walked over to them, sitting on the ground next to them. Zarra smiled at the Fire Lady and laughed happily. She reached down again, scooping up more snow and handing it to her mother.

"Thank you, love." Suki held the show in her hands, shaping it into a little ball. Zarra watched her with fascination as Suki rolled the small amount of snow into a ball, then chucked it at Zuko. He laughed when she did so, making Zarra giggle and clap her hands. She reached back down and grabbed more snow, throwing it at her father and laughing more.

"You need to quit teaching her bad things." Zuko teased his wife as Zarra threw another handful of show at him.

Suki just laughed a little bit, leaning over and kissing him. "Lets get her inside." She reached out and took her into her arms, standing up. Zuko stood, following her. Zarra twisted in her mother's arms, looking at her daddy and calling out for him with outstretched hands. He smiled as he walked with them, one hand going to Suki's back, the other to Zarra's head.

"What are you three doing?" They looked up to see a visibly pregnant Katara standing in the door way of the small hut that was her home here.

"Just playing in the snow." Zuko said, looking up from her daughter.

"She liked it when he got some thrown at him." Suki laughed softly, looking at her husband.

"Oh?" Katara raised her eye brow, looking at Zuko.

"NO! Don't do it!" He put up his hands to try and block what he knew was going to come.

Katara laughed loudly and water bend some snow at him, hitting him in the face. Suki's hand went to Zarra's head, ducking away from the incoming snow. It knocked Zuko to the ground, making him cry out a little. Zarra cackled like mad at seeing her father on the ground covered in the strange white substance.

Katara saw the baby's enjoyment and bent more snow at him, covering him up. "Come on!" Zuko cried out to her. He sat up, blowing fire around him to melt the snow.

Suki held the squirming Zarra as best she could before sitting her down on the snow with Zuko. She quickly crawled over to him, a large smile on her face. Zuko smiled at the baby, scooping her up into his arms. "You just love to see my suffer, don't you?" He laughed. Zarra just giggled and buried her face in her father's chest.

"You know I've never seen such a happy baby." Katara told Suki with a smile, a hand on her stomach. "I mean Kya and Bumi were happy, but not quite like she is."

Zuko stood with Zarra in his arms, kissing her on the side of the head lovingly. "I would not have it any other way." He said, looking at the auburn haired child as she looked up at him with her large eyes, her mother's eyes.

Suki smiled lovingly at her husband and daughter, "Come on." She motioned to the hut, "Lets get you two warm." She reached out and took his free hand, the three of them walking into the hut behind Katara and into the warmth of the small home.
