3 and a half months later, 105AG

Aang was on the way to the palace with his wife. She was nervous. She hadn't been to the Palace in almost five years.

They had their twins with them, Prince Roku and Princess Ta Min. They were one month old.

"I really don't want to do this," Azula told him.

"I don't either. Zuko won't punch you."

"That's what you think."

Three and a half months ago.

Aang came home with a busted lip. Ty Lee started fussing over him. "How could he hurt you?"

"I did lie to him for like three years. I think we're even."

"You came back," Azula said.

"Of course I came back."

"I thought you might have been murdered by your crazy ex-girlfriend."

"Katara wouldn't kill me."

"Even though you're sleeping with her worst enemy, and her two best friends."

"Even then, although she was pretty hysterical." Aang kissed his wife's face.

"I'm just glad you both home. Will you stay in bed with me tonight?"

"Of course." She was still in the phase of her pregnancy where she was horny all the time.

Present

"The last time you came back from the palace, we had lots of sex."

"Yes we did," Aang grinned as he remembered it.

"Can we skip this visit and go straight to the sex?"

He started to consider it. "You aren't healed yet and … we're not skipping this visit."

"Why not? Zuzu hasn't looked very hard if he couldn't find me down the street from our childhood vacation home."

"Don't remind him. He feels dumb for not figuring it out sooner."

"You mean when Toph forced it out of your mouth. He didn't figure out anything."

Aang silenced her with a kiss.

In the Palace, Zuko was having his own concerns. What the heck do I do with her? She's married and Aang swears she's not a threat, but Katara's gone mad, convinced Azula's going to do something crazy. He felt caught between his best friend and sister on one side and his wife on the other, not to mention his own peace of mind.

He asked Iroh what to do.

One Month Ago

"Let me get this right, Azula married Aang, along with Mai and Ty Lee and the four of them are repopulating the airbenders together."

"Basically."

"Well, she's helping fix the damage the Fire Nation caused. Why not leave her to it?"

"What?"

"It's not uncommon for the winner of a war to marry the princess from the losing nation."

"She's not a war trophy."

"She isn't. It kind of sounds that way."

"Aah!"

Present

Needless to say, Zuko didn't find that conversation helpful.

Katara came out. "Are they here yet?"

"No. He didn't say exactly what time today they were coming."

"I still can't believe he just didn't say he found her for three years."

"I kind of can."

"What?"

"He's Aang. He wants everyone to be happy and he saw her happy with Mai and Ty Lee, so he didn't say anything."

"Out of all of the stupid and ridiculous things …"

"Are you talking about your dated dress?" Azula said as they walked inside, their children in tow.

"What?" she shrieked.

"Has she seriously done nothing with that hair in five years? I can't believe the Fire Lady still looks like a peasant."

"Azula be nice."

"I don't know how." She looked to her brother. "Zuko, how nice of you to extend an invitation to your humble sister." She looked around. "Where's dinner?"

He looked at her. "This isn't a dinner party."

"I just had twins. You do realize I'm always hungry. May we present to you Prince Roku and Princess Ta Min?"

Roku was a firebender, but Ta Min was an airbender. Zuko held Roku first. He looked like Aang except for his gold eyes. "He's a firebender."

"Well not yet. He is just a month old."

Zuko glared at his sister.

Ta Min looked like Azula except for her grey eyes. "She's very pretty."

"Of course she is. She looks like me."

"How have you been?" Aang offered.

"Fine," Zuko said.

"Fine?" Katara yelled.

"Is she alright?" Azula questioned before Katara could go off on her rant. "What's wrong with her?"

"What's wrong with you? You killed him and then you married him. Aang, what were you thinking. I'll procreate with the three deadliest women alive?"

"Well if he wanted his children to be safe while he was away, it was the smartest option," Zuko pointed out.

Katara glared at him.

"Oops."

"I don't know how else to say it. I love her and our life works for us."

"So what are you going to do with your life?" Zuko questioned.

"Well, I have five children," Azula said. "I think I'm too busy to plan a coup."

"I thought you only had three."

"We're raising all of them together."

"So your children have three mothers?"

"Isn't the mantra, mother always knows best? Well our kids will know extra well."

"Where are Mai and Ty Lee?"

"At home with our Gaia, Bumi and Tenzin."

Roku started to fuss.

Azula started to nurse him.

"Put that away!" Zuko yelled at her.

"What? He's hungry."

"I don't want to see…"

"It's just a breast. This is what they are for, regardless of how much you like sucking on your wife's teats."

"Do not call them teats," Zuko hissed.

"Sorry, utters whatever."

"I am not a cow pig!"

"Can't you put a blanket over yourself or something?"

"Do you put a blanket on your head when you eat?"

Zuko shook his head. "Tell me you don't do that in public."

"If they're hungry."

She had to switch and feed Ta Min.

Zuko just looked down until he was done.

"Are you going to make a scene when Katara's got suckers on her?"

Katara was too appalled to answer. Zuko just grunted.

The Head Sage snuck into the room to fawn over the new royalty. "Oh they're so cute. Ta Min looks just like her mother and is going to be an excellent airbender." He picked up Roku next, "oh he's going to be quite the firebender." The sage thought he could feel a blue flame.

Katara frowned.

Azula said, "well, now you've seen them." She turned to her husband. "Can we go home now if they're not going to feed us?"

"You're not going anywhere," Zuko told her.

"Fine." Azula rang the bell. "I'm going to need a seared turtle duck breast, some rice and some pine carrots. What do you want Aang?"

"Can I get the tofu stir fry and a fruit tart?"

"Of course."

"So why am I still here again?" She questioned her brother.

"What do you think I should do about this?"

"Do nothing, like you have for the past five years."

"You can't be serious," Katara said.

"Why not? It's not like any of Ozai's old supporters would approve of Aang as Fire Lady or want the Crown family to be a bunch of airbenders. I'm probably more of a disgrace to them than you are, hard as that is to imagine."

"So I should just act like I don't know where you are?"

"Why not? It's not like anyone else has come looking for me. We can go right back to the way things were."

When the food arrived, Azula handed off her children to Zuko and Katara so she could eat.

"Now when are you going to make an heir?" Azula questioned.

"This isn't about me."

"Isn't it? You're all concerned about your crown, and without an heir, you're an easy target. I assume Katara is fertile."

"Yes I'm fertile."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

She didn't know anymore. She had been worried that Azula would come back just to attack her while she was pregnant, but obviously, she had other things to do with her time.

While Azula and Aang were at the palace, Ty Lee was chasing around Bumi who had managed to put a rock in his mouth. She grabbed his foot, swinging him upside down as the rock fell out. He whined as she kicked it away from him.

"Why does he keep trying to put rocks in his mouth?"

"Maybe he thinks he's a chicken," Mai remarked.

Ty Lee rolled her eyes and handed him to Mai.

Gaia and Tenzin were fighting over a toy, tugging it back and forth between the two.

"If you don't play nice, I'll take it away," Ty Lee warned them.

Gaia bopped her brother and took the toy.

Ty Lee took it from both of them and they both started crying.

"I warned you!"

"Just give it back," Mai told them.

"But they were fighting over it."

"That's how they play with the toy."

Ty Lee reluctantly returned it and sure enough, they tugged back and forth until they got bored and went to do something else.

"How do you think they're doing?" the acrobat asked her wife.

"Azula's probably eating. Zuko's probably panicking because he doesn't actually have a plan. Katara's probably yelling and Aang is hoping that he doesn't get punched again."

Azula ordered chocolate cake for dessert. She was hoping they could just leave tonight. Maybe she'd say she was going to change their diapers and then just jump on Appa and go.

"Why don't you come visit us?" Aang suggested.

"Are you crazy?" Azula and Zuko both said at the same time.

"Then you'll see how well we're doing."

"How are we going to fit them in our house?"

"Can't they stay in our other house?"

"I guess."

"Wait, all 9 of you live in one house?"

"It's more like 8.5 since Aang travels so much."

"I'm restoring the Southern Air Temple and thought we could move in when our children started learning to airbend."

"At your rate, you are going to have a full temple," Katara retorted.

Zuko shook his head. How did his sister, his ex-girlfriend and their best friend all end up with Aang? The boy had literally no game. Girls would throw themselves at him left and right and he'd run away. Maybe he couldn't outrun Azula.

Just when Azula was going to see if she could make her escape, her uncle appeared.

"Azula, Aang, funny seeing you two here."

"You mean Zuzu didn't tell you I was coming?"

"Don't call me that!"

"He mentioned it, but he didn't say when. Are those my niece and nephew?"

"No, I got them from the flea market."

"Azula," Aang chided. "Meet Princess Ta Min and Prince Roku."

Iroh picked up the princess first. "She looks just like her mother, and she's going to be an airbender."

The baby yawned.

"Your brother looks just like his father, and he's going to be a firebender."

Roku burped.

"You have lovely children. I understand you have an older daughter?"

"Gaia, and I have two sons. We're raising all of the children together."

"Isn't that nice? They'll all be one big, happy family."

"Can you tell Zuzu to let me go home now?"

"Don't call me that!"

"Zuko, maybe it's time for you to take a breath. I understand you were stressed before, but I hardly think she's going to try to start a coup with a gaggle of babies."

"You never know," Katara mumbled.

"I suppose you're right," Zuko said with a sigh. "But I would like to see my nieces and nephews more often."

"That can be arranged," Azula said noncommittally.

"The summer is the best time to visit because they have bonfires and all day barbeques on the island," Aang said excitedly.

They made somewhat vague arrangements to come back with the whole family in the winter and for Zuko and Katara to visit in the summer.

After letting Iroh fawn over the babies some more, Aang and Azula headed home.

"Thank Agni, I was ready to try and sneak out."

"What was the plan?"

"To say they needed a diaper change and then just get on Appa and fly away."

"What about me?"

"You snooze, you lose."

He airbended his wife onto Appa and then jumped aboard. "Yip Yip!"

"The more I learn," Zuko said, "the more bizarre it seems. I just can't see Azula as a mother or one five times."

"They have how many airbenders?" Iroh asked.

"Four all together," Zuko said.

"In less than two years. That's impressive."

"Don't remind me." EW!

"Will I be getting any more nieces or nephews soon?" Iroh questioned.

Katara wigged out. "It takes time okay!"

Iroh backed off quickly.

The babies were all asleep when Azula and Aang got back.

"They're perfect when they're asleep," Azula said as she gave each one a kiss on the head.

They went upstairs where Mai and Ty Lee were in bed asleep. Azula gave them each a kiss on the forehead. "We're home."

"How did it go?" Mai mumbled.

"Dry and boring, like my brother. Goodnight."

Azula and Aang took the bed in the other bedroom. They would all rotate and technically, this was Ty Lee's night with Aang, but she didn't want to go to bed by herself, so she went to sleep with Mai.

"It could have gone worse," Aang said as they got ready for bed.

"How?" She had almost been bored to death.
