I want to say thank you to Quirkista for being my only reviewer for my last drabble. I hope to see more reviews for this because, let's be honest, while we write to have fun we also write to get feedback. I want to know what people think of this ── it's my first Avatar fic.

Needless to say, I'm kinda bummed out.

Disclaimer: Don't own it…if I did, Zutara would've happened.

Last thing: I don't have a title for this drabble…so yeah…

"Ow!" the little fire prince yelped, snapping his hurt hand back. "Stupid turtle-duck!"

Fire Lord Zuko ── who had been watching his son for the past 10 minutes ── smiled knowingly as he ventured the short distance across the garden to sit with his son at the pond. "Zin, are you alright?" he asked his son who was currently whining and nurturing his injured hand.

"Daddy the turtle-duck just bit me!" Zin whined, flailing his tiny, hurt fingers in his father's face.

Zuko held Zin's hand gently, noticing the red and puffy flesh that rose in an exact imprint of the little duck's beak. He looked to his son. "Something tells me that it's your own fault." The Fire Lord mused, already knowing exactly what had happened. He did observe his son for 10 minutes just out of curiosity.

Zin blushed, turning from his father's slightly accusing gaze to look back at the turtle-ducks who were now at the far end of the pond, glaring at the one who had dared to bite him. Stupid turtle-duck. He can't bite me, I'm the prince! "I was only trying to feed it, daddy." He pouted, "It looked hungry."

Zuko smiled, pulling his little heir close to him. This reminded the firebender of the time he had tried to mimic the way Azula fed turtle-ducks in front of his mother. He took a good sized rock and dunked it on the little duck. The animal was okay, but that didn't stop the mother from teaching the young prince a lesson by nipping at his foot. Ursa, his mom, pulled him closer and told him about how mothers are protective of their babies. Zuko smiled again, watching the ducks like Zin was doing. "It's nice that you care for it, Zin, but dropping the whole loaf of bread onto it isn't very nice."

Zin's pale face was as red as the Fire Nation flag as he buried his face into Zuko's robes. He wondered how his dad knew that. Dads knowing everything! "Sorry…" he muttered into Zuko's robes.

Zuko chuckled, stroking his son's head. "It's ok. I did the same thing when I was your age." The firebender soothed.

"Really?" this got Zin to look up at his dad.

Zuko nodded, chuckling at the memory that seemed like centuries ago. "I learned that sometimes it's better to let things be and let them do their own thing."

"So…don't be nosy?" Zin wondered, vaguely getting what his dad just said.

"Yeah, don't be nosy."

A few silent and peaceful moments later, the little prince perked up, turning completely to face Zuko. "Dad, weren't you the one who used to sneak into the bathroom while momma was in the shower?"

The Fire Lord paused, mouth agape. His face flushed as he wondered how Zin knew about that. Kids find everything out! Can't keep anything secret. "Uh ─ well, I mean…" Zuko was at a loss for words. Luckily, his wife decided to join in.

"Your dad tends to be very nosy." Katara giggled, sending a teasing wink to a very embarrassed Zuko. She rubbed her large, round abdomen, feeling the little life inside. Mhhmm, very nosy. She smiled as she thought about the most recent time her and Zuko had se─

"What can I say, I can't keep away from you." Zuko had now stood up. He kissed his wife tenderly, earning a gag from Zin.

"Momma! Daddy!" Zin cried, turning away shyly. He hated it when his parents would 'spread kooties' in front of him.

The couple laughed. "Don't be nosy, Zin, and you won't have to worry about it." Katara chuckled, resting her head on her husband's shoulder.

Zin wasted no time in darting away. Getting bit by turtle-ducks is better than that!

"I love you, Katara." Zuko kissed her cheek.

"I know." Katara agreed.

Yeah, not a good ending. But the light-heartedness of this was fun to write.

And don't ask how I came up with Zin because I don't know.

Please review! It'd mean the world to me.

Thanks for reading!
