"Don't mind daddy, he's just being Grumpy Lord."
Zuko rolled his eyes, looking over in the direction of his wife and daughter, "Can we not teach her that?"
The Fire Lady looked up from her three year old and her own swollen stomach, a soft smile on her face. "If you don't wanna be 'Grumpy Lord' just be in a better mood."
"Grumpy. Grump, grump, grump." The little girl clicked to herself, small hands traveling over her mother's stomach.
Suki tucked some hair behind her little ear, patting her on the side of the head, "You're not just Fire Lord, you're lots of things."
"Fire Lord will suffice." Zuko sat down next to his wife, an arm draped across her back on the sofa. "That is what I am after all."
"Well…" Suki laughed to herself, looking at her husband next to her. "You're also 'Grumpy Lord'. And 'Awkward Lord'. And 'I need to drink some calming tea Lord'."
"Grump. Grump. Grump." Zarra kept giggling to herself, her hands moving with the movement of her sibling under her mother's skin.
Zuko's face fell flat as his daughter chanted the moniker, "I don't really like those names."
"I do though. I think they're cute."
"What the hell is cute about 'Awkward Lord'?"
"Cause you're my Awkward Lord." She giggled, reaching out and pinching his cheek. "And I love you for it."
He jerked his face away from Suki, "Don't do that."
She pulled her hand away, shaking her head a bit. "You know I have other names for you too."
"Just as charming I can assume."
The side of her lips curled into a smile, her hands going on top of the girl's, "Pretty Boy Lord." He rolled his eyes, "Sexy lord."
"That one isn't to bad." He chuckled, their eyes locking. "What else?"
"Daddy Lord."
"Daddy Lord!" Zarra echoed, reaching out for her father. Zuko cracked a smile as he reached out, taking the girl up into his arms. She squirmed at first, but then settled into his long warm arms happily.
"I like this one."
Suki ran her fingers though her little girl's auburn hair, watching as her husband held their little girl. "There is one more."
He looked up from the girl, "Oh?"
Suki reached out, taking his chin up. "Zuko."
He smiled warmly at her, her loving eyes sending shivers through his body. "That's not really a nick name though."
"I know." She smiled, "But I like it the best."
He leaned in and pressed his lips to her's, their daughter chirping from her father's arms.
