Life

Katara's POV

"Zuko come on! We're going to be late for my appointment!" I tapped my foot against the floor impatiently watching him tighten his blood red tie and stumble towards me. He was looking dashingly handsome as always, fitted black suit, hair gelled, eyes...not so bright as they usually are. I chuckled.

"Sorry! Why didn't you wake me up?" he argued.

I rolled my eyes taking the tie from his hands and doing it for him. Folding the fabric the right way and tucking it into his jacket. I kissed the corner of his mouth and tossed him the keys. He caught them effortlessly in the palm f his hand. I started rushing out the door while responding back to him. "I did. You chose to go back to bed."

"And you were the one who woke me up in the middle of the night because you were starving. I swear where did that even come from?" He rebutted.

I pouted angrily as we climbing into his car and headed towards the hospital, thankful for the lack of traffic. "I can't help it! I was sick for days and I still am. When I throw up I just get hungry later. It's just my body trying to replenish what I was lacking."

"Because waking up at 3am shaking me awake to go with you to the closest 24hr drive through to get a damn ice cream is replenishing. You just wanted something sweet." He argued. I looked to him with narrowed eyes.

"I can't help it, geeze it's not like you don't get your weird cravings. The one person who likes spicy foods wanted the largest ice cream once we got in line. If anything you should be saying thank you for my genius plan. Your welcome!~" I said sweetly.

Zuko shook his head in disbelief and I already knew where we were going with this. It had been the same conversation for the last two weeks. "I knew you should have stayed another day at the hospital. You weren't strong enough to leave and your immune system couldn't fight off that horrible flu you got."

I rolled my eyes, resting my jaw against the palm of my hand while I leaned against the car door. "I wanted to go home Zuko. Besides you took care of me, and I felt fine-"

"Until a week later where you had a fever of 102 and was throwing up." He said sternly, he wasnt mad but the edge in his voice was apparent. He continued to lecture me as we turned left, "But no, you had to go to class instead of letting your body heal."

"Fine. Look I'm sorry okay? You know I couldn't skip those classes when I had finals. I'm done now and I'll ask him about a checkup. Maybe he will give me some prescription to get over whatever bug I have. It's not like I enjoy throwing up. I wan't to be well for this trip." I said quietly.

I heard his long sigh before it even left his lips. "I know and I'm sorry. I'm just a little grumpy from not enough sleep. I shouldn't have taken it out on you."

And oh boy did I know. Not only were we both not a morning person but that Zuko was worse than me when it came to him getting anything less than a full undisturbed six hours rest. The barely visible dark circles under his eyes were the proof of that. "It's fine, we're both lacking in the sleep department." I sighed waiting in silence until we reached the hospital.

The past month had been…eventful. Not too long after I had gone home, I had expected the news of what had happened to me to be on the front page of the newspaper. However, Zuko and our parents pulled some strings and made it so that no one knew. My professors had received the police reports and gave me make up work to save me and my grades. That was one less thing I had to worry about but not attending class for a week meant I had a lot to catch up on.

Then to top it off the day after we got home we had been informed that Mai has been killed in a car accident. Zuko was shaken up for a few days, not realizing that when he was rushing to the hospital to see me Mai was running after him in the busy street where a driver who was texting hit her. It pained me to know that something so tragic had happened to her. She was guided by delusion and fear and that was what clouded her judgement through these past few months of her life. I was hoping that after all this she would be able to let go and live happily with her baby, and maybe one day find a guy who would truly love her. I was happy to know that at least it was instantaneous for the both of them. They died without suffering, and despite all that she had done, I was glad for it.

I was equally shocked to hear that Mai's child was actually Jet's. Zuko told me as Mai and her baby's death was announced. We expected her father to come running to us and bothering us, but we hadn't heard from him. In fact, he pulled out all his stocks in Zuko's company and just…well left. We hadn't heard a thing from him, let alone anything on the news or from the police. Even Ursa hadn't heard anything from Mai's mother, only knowing that they were both stricken by grief. The poor couple was probably distraught over the loss of their daughter, and that made me realize that everyone's life is short. It was depressing nonetheless for some time.

My family was another deal all together. They constantly came over to check up on me and ask how I was doing. Of course everyone gave me crap for not staying at the hospital longer when I came down with my flu. Sokka and Suki came over multiple times to keep me company. Suki would sit down and have me go over wedding idea's and locations after I had returned from classes, and even Azula and Hahn came over to have mini date nights with Zuko and I. It was even more to my surprise to find out that Aang and Toph had started dating. Apparently after the whole thing went down Aang asked her out to a movie and asked her to be his girlfriend. That was really not expected, but regardless I was happy for them. Aang was still special in my heart but he was never really the right guy for me, and after hearing about how well they got along it seemed he was perfect for her. She would call me constantly about what to wear and how to go about things, but really the person who asked the most was Aang. Thankfully Azula, Suki, Ty Lee and I all pitched in and were helping them along their new relationship. Teasing that is, with some pointers here and there. Really they were fine by themselves just extremely awkward at first. They're still happily dating as far as yesterday when I spoke with her.

We finally arrived at the hospital and I checked in, giving the lady my name before we sat down in the chairs and waited patiently. I tapped my fingers against the cool metal of the chair while Zuko checked his emails on his phone for work. I had told him he could go in instead of accompanying me to my appointment, it was just a minor checkup after all. I looked down at my arms and smiled, happy to see that I no longer needed my bandages and the scaring was minimal. Nothing a little bit of ointment and cocoa butter couldn't heal over some time.

"Ms. South?"

I perked up to the sound of a man's voice, coming into eye contact with the same doctor I had spoken to a month ago from today. "Hello Dr. Rosschild!"

He chuckled nodding towards Zuko and scratched my name off of his clipboard. "It's good to see you both again, I thought by now you would be Mrs. Azulon! How are you feeling Katara?"

I sighed happily, "Soon, and I am much better. I did as you said and took care of my wounds."

He took us into a small room and I sat down on the bed. He placed his clipboard down and looked at me with a big cheesy grin. "I can see that! Looks like the scaring is minimum and they all closed up nicely." He placed a hand to my cheek and tilted my head left and right. "Seems like there was no missed cuts or punctures where he had hit you either. Good, good."

I smiled letting him check me over, glancing towards Zuko who was watching us intensely. "Now Mr. Azulon did she rest properly when you got home?"

"I did-"I began.

"She rested for about three days before she complained about being bored. Went to work but I wouldn't let her stay for more than three hours. Then she demanded going to classes a week after we were here." He answered casually. I would've glared at him if the doctor wasn't so close to us to see me do it.

"I did rest." I answered for myself

"I see, did you feel fine during the course of the month? No sharp pains or lightheaded?"

I shook my head. "No."

"She caught a flu or a bug about a week and a half in. She's been throwing up and lethargic."

"Zuko!" I hissed.

My doctor chuckled and patted my knee in comfort. "No need to be ashamed Ms. South. I have many patients that come in and do not give me all the details. After what you have been through I need to know every detail on what has happened to you this past month. Now, it's clear that you haven't been feeling a hundred percent so why don't you walk me through what's been going on?"

I sighed in defeat, I was hoping that this was going to be a quick checkup and leave type of appointment. What an idiot I was. I should have known that Zuko and his loud mouth would tell him what was wrong with me piece by piece. "I felt ill before I was…kidnapped…and while I was. I was throwing up and feeling really weak. But some days are better than others. I don't feel sick or tired but rather just the opposite. About a week or more after the initial check up I felt worse, I was getting irritated easily because my head hurt and I lost my appetite."

He nodded his head writing down what I had described and sighed. "Well you could have contracted some sort of virus while your body was recovering. I'll run a quick blood sample and while that is being processed I need you to get a CATscan to check for any head trauma. Were you needed anywhere? This could take awhile."

I looked to Zuko who shook his head knowing exactly what I was just about to open my mouth to say. "I…I guess not no."

He smiled, "Okay good. Wouldn't want to make you late for anything. Ms. South. Which arm would you like the blood drawn from?"

"The left please."

He walked over to a table and began sanitizing the equipment. Zuko walked up to me and kissed my cheek. "I'm heading outside for a moment to call Toph and let her know we are going to be awhile. Will you be okay?"

I rolled my eyes, "I'm not a child Zuko. Go make your stupid phone call."

He chuckled lightly and walked out of the room, leaving me and the doctor alone. "Quite the protective fiance you've got Ms. South."

I giggled helplessly. "Sometimes he can be a bit absurd but I love how caring he is. I'm a very lucky woman."

The doctor walked back to me and began to draw blood from my arm with a smile. I just sat patiently for it to be over, not really caring that a large ass needle was in my arm. Unlike many people they just didn't bother me, and especially not after the whole thing with Jet. "And done. I'll go ahead and take these to the lab to get some results and prep the scan room for you. I'll be back to get you when it's ready."

"Okay."

He nodded to me before slipping out of the room and leaving me to my own devices. I sighed, laying back against the bed and took out my phone to text Azula while I waited for both my fiancé and the doctor to return.

K- Hey ;)

…

A- Hey! What's going on?

K- Nm. At the docs for a checkup. Your brother is driving me crazy! :(

A- Lol how so? Zuzu is always a worrywart, especially with you.

K- I know but it's becoming ridiculous. He thinks I'm made of china.

A- Well, you kinda are.

K- What? How?

A- Tara you are like a fucking magnet for trouble lately. Seriously getting kidnapped and then getting ill with some crazy flu, passing out in class (No I haven't told Zuzu about that), all in one month is a bit overwhelming. Especially for my brother.

K- :(

A- What you going to tell me I'm wrong still?

K- No, but still it's a bit much.

A- I know it's not what you were expecting but everyone's still a bit on edge. I'm sure after this checkup he will become less stressed and overbearing. Our trip will really help everyone calm down.

K- I know I know. As annoying as it is, I really love him.

A- As gross as you two are, I'm happy that if someone loves that brother of mine it's you ;)

K- Oh get over it lol. You know we'll be married in a few months right? Then you will be stuck with all this 'gross' behavior forever. *evil smirk*

A- *runs for the hills* Looks like you will need a new Maid of Honor ;)

K- *Gasps* NO! Come back!

"Who are you talking to?"

My phone flew from my hands as I looked to the man who just scared the living shit out of me. "Zuko!"

He put his hands up in defense with confusion written all over his face. "What did I do?" He asked in surprise.

I sighed texting Azula back about how Zuko had scared me and that I would talk to her later. "Your sister, who by the way just ran for the hills."

"What?"

I chuckled at his now increasingly more confused expression and pulled him towards me. "I was talking about how much I love and hate you to Azula. She hates me for discussing my love life with her since it concerns you, her brother, so she ran for the hills because it's 'gross'. I need a new Maid of Honor now." I jested.

Zuko rolled his eyes playfully and kissed me softly, his hands resting against my thighs. I sighed into the kiss and smiled against his lips. "You two are ridiculous. Honestly I think you're just marrying me for an excuse to call Azula your sister finally."

I gasped dramatically, holding my hand to my heart in fake surprise. "Oh no! How did you ever find out?!"

Zuko decided that that was the perfect opportunity to tickle me. His large hands running along my sides and erupting a boisterous laughter from my lips. He was merciless, continuing even though I told him not to multiple times between laughs. "Z- haha! S-stop! Hahahah nooo!~" I tried to get away but he had my legs trapped and continued laughing loudly himself.

"Maybe now you will realize what punishment awaits you when you tease me about my love for you." He said huskily.

I blushed feeling the heat in my core in a sudden need for his touch. He sounded so…commanding, and it was hot. I was stuck here under his fierce and penetrating gaze. I wrapped my arms around his neck while his wound around my waist, pulling me against him. I played with the ends of his black hair against his neck and he hummed in response, enjoying the sensation. "I can't wait," I murmured.

"Me either. I feel like it's too long of a wait." He agreed to my mention of our marriage. I smiled, happy to know his mind was in the same place.

"Can't we just run off and elope?" I teased with a hint of seriousness. I didn't need a big fancy wedding, I just needed him and someone to make it official. The rest was extra things that I could happily live without.

He captured my lips between his and then proceeded to plant softer ones on my face. "I would. You know that but, I think our parents would kill us and your dad would hate me more than he probably does."

I bit lightly at his jaw, "He does not hate you Zuko."

He grumbled in denial, "I took his precious daughter from him. I'm sure he hates me."

"He does not. He's just a little sad. One day you will understand."

"One day?" He questioned. I blushed brightly, continuing my caress at the back of his neck.

"Well…I would like a family. Someday." I looked up to his gold eyes with worry, "don't you?"

His features softened and his lips met mine sinfully. I pulled him closer to me, desperate to feel him against me with nothing in between. "I've thought about it. A lot actually. You and I in a home that we had built, perfect for the us and close to both of our families. Two kids running around in the backyard laughing happily while we watched them from the porch as they played."

I smirked against his lips. "Two?"

He chuckled deeply, "Two. Being an only child sounds like it has it's perks but having siblings is more fun."

"And more work," I added. "I don't know how my mother dealt with Sokka and I."

"Me either when it comes to Azula and I. But we will work it out. You will be a wonderful mother."

I met his lips for another kiss, hugging him closer till he rested just between my legs. I loved this man. I loved everything about him. I kissed his cheek and smiled at him widely, "That sounds perfect."

The sound of the door opening and heavy footsteps broke us out of our moment and I smiled sheepishly to the doctor. His eyes were wide then softened to a knowing smirk. I felt my blush rise but my arms remained around Zuko's neck. Zuko coughed awkwardly and released my arms from around his neck but, before I could voice my displeasure he linked his hand into mine and squeezed softly.

"I see I have interrupted something." The Dr. Rosschild chuckled.

"No we were just talking."

"I'm sure." He chuckled knowingly. This time Zuko and I both erupted in bright red faces. "Well then Ms. South you are ready to go for the Catscan. Then we should be able to see the lab results. If you could just follow me?"

"O-of course." I kissed Zuko's cheek and followed the him to the correct room.

Zuko's POV

I saw Katara walk back into the room looking a little out of it. She wasn't gone for long but I had already missed her. She settled in the chair next to me and sighed contently. I wrapped my arm around her waist, trailing my fingers gingerly along her forearm.

"Well Ms. South you look to be clear on the CAT scan which is very good news. You don't have any head trauma which means it's not something we really have to worry about. If anything changes though you must contact me."

He shuffled through the paper work and smiled happily. "Good, you don't seem to have any major viruses either or contamination in your blood. Could I take one more look at your wounds?"

"Yes of course."

Katara stood up so that he could look her over and checking her stomach gingerly. He finished with a smile and wrote more things down on that clipboard of his. "Okay you seem good to go Ms. South. It's a good thing you and the baby are safe and sound. I was worried that something may have happened but, everything will be alright."

My heart skipped a beat. What did he just say?

"Sorry what?" Katara asked. My eyes kept focused on the doctor as he spoke. Making sure that I hadn't heard him wrong.

He looked at us with confused expressions and rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "You are good to go. I know it must have worried you as well but, your baby should be safe. When you come back in another few months we will be able to do an ultrasound to make sure and to check your progress."

"Wait wait wait wait!" I shouted. Before I knew it I was on my feet with my heart beating rapidly out from my chest.

"What? What's wrong?"

Katara moved her hands to her stomach and looked at me with tears pooling in her azure orbs. "Baby? I'm..I'm pregnant?"

We continued staring deeply into each other's eyes while the information processed through our heads. I couldn't even speak. I tore my eyes from the shaken woman beside me and he looked at us with a huge grin. "Yes ma'am! Congratulations!"

"H-how far along is she?" I whispered in disbelief.

"A little over a month. That would explain the sickness and the occasional lightheaded feeling. I was worried at first since being lightheaded is also a sign of some sort of trauma to the brain. Also your loss of appetite is just because your cravings haven't hit you yet. Hadn't you noticed you haven't had your bleeding?"

Katara gasped and thought hard on the question. "Oh my god...how did I not know? The sickness, the cravings, mood swings, weight gain, and-" She looked up to me and blushed. "Impossible..." she laughed.

I felt happiness fill my entire being. A baby! Katara was pregnant with my child! Right now in her stomach housed a little boy or girl we had created together. That dream I dreamt of every night was becoming a reality. Stoked I looked to Katara with a shit eating grin. She looked a little shocked but behind that she was ecstatic, her hands that were laid cautiously around her waist were now wrapped protectively. Tears falling down her sun kissed skin in disbelief.

"I'm pregnant… I'm going to be a mother! Zuko!" Her arms wrapped around my neck tightly. "We are going to be parents!"

I picked her up twirling her around in a small circle before setting her back down on the floor and kissing her deeply. God how happy this woman made me. She made everything seem so perfect, no it was perfect. She was this light in my life that I was constantly searching for, seeking out to grab and hold. She was my treasure. I loved her so much that one heart couldn't possibly hold all of the love I felt for her. I rested my hands on her stomach, her own resting above mine and parted our lips. I peppered kisses on her face and neck, tasting the saltiness from her tears and unknowingly my own. "Thank you." I kissed the corner of her mouth and held back a sob. "Thank you, thank you."

She cried almost silently in my arms while I bathed her in my love for her, caressing her stomach and resting my head into her neck. "I love you so much Katara."

"I love you too."

I laughed at the excitement bubbling in my chest. "Parents Katara! We're going to be parents!"

"I know! I know Zuko," she giggled exuberantly. "I'm the happiest person in the world right now."

"Happiest people Katara. You've made me happy as well, no ecstatic!" I was going to be a father, a husband, and all of that was thanks to her. For loving me and giving me the chance to experience all of these things.

I turned to the doctor to voice my thanks for looking over Katara and making sure that she was safe. Only to find the seat empty and Katara and I left alone in the room. I chuckled knowing he had probably left to give us our space and bask in our bubble of happiness. I kissed Katara again deeply, pushing all that I had to give into that kiss and felt her do the same.

Katara's POV (two weeks later)

"So what names have you picked out!?" Ty Lee asked me with bright doe brown eyes. We were sat outside on the beach near the summer home the Azulon's owned for a little vacation. Azula, Ty Lee, Suki, Toph and I were all laid out on our towels next to our stuff. A bright blue umbrella was just over me, keeping me cool for when I got too hot. I rubbed my hand across my belly, an action I had grown accustomed to know that I knew my child was growing inside.

"Well, to be honest we aren't picking any out." I said softly.

"Whattttt!? No Zuko jr? Or Zuzu? Nothing? OH! What about Azula for the girl!? PLEASE!" Azula began ranting and raving.

We all chuckled at her behavior and I shook my head. "No Azula we won't be doing that. Wouldn't be fair to name our child only after you."

"Then just have a dozen kids so you can name them all after us." Toph said with humorous grin.

I blanched at the thought. "No thank you! I don't think I could handle any more than three kids. That's my limit so no." I laughed.

Suki removed her sunglasses and her eyes shone, "So you are going to name them after their born?"

I nodded, "We have so many names in mind but what if he doesn't look like any of them? Then what would we do? So we decided we would just think of one when he's finally born."

"Is it a boy?!" Toph asked. I chuckled shaking my head.

"To be honest I don't know yet. That will take some time, but Zuko and I think that I'll follow in our mothers footsteps. Ursa and my mother gave birth to a boy then a girl. So for now we are calling them a he." I took a drink of my water and felt the liquid roll down my throat. Ugh here comes a craving. "Shit I want ice cream..."

"OOO ice cream sound's good! Azula didn't you say there is a really nice ice cream shop around here!" Ty Lee jumped onto her feet and looked around.

Azula smiled, "Yeah it's actually not that far from here. Shall we walk over?"

I stood up eager to finally get some ice cream. This kid was going to have a sweet tooth. My cravings would range from fruits covered in honey and yogurt, anything high in sugar like chocolates and ice creams, to sea foods. One night I had the strangest idea that shrimp and ice cream would go well, and it did, I ate it so quickly I was sad to see it gone. Zuko tried not to be sick at the thought of it, he asked me if I was honestly going to eat that to which I replied that it was his kid that wanted it. Not me. "Please! I don't think I can wait any longer!"

"Where are you girls going?" Hahn asked as he approached with the rest of them.

"Ice cream, Katara said she is craving it" Zula answered him

Sokka, Zuko, and Aang were laughing about their game of soccer on the beach which had ended in a draw. "What ever Zuko I'll beat your ass next time! I want a 1v1!" Sokka challenged. Zuko just shook his head with a playful smirk.

"Sokka you fell over you're own two feet! You only scored when Aang made the shots!"

Aang laughed and patted Sokka on the back while he pouted. "Don't worry maybe with some practice we can beat them next time." He said.

Zuko approached me with a wide smile and pulled me into his arms. "How are you feeling?"

"Hungry, we were just about to go get ice cream. Are you coming?" I asked him. His eyes widened and he gave me a forced smile.

"Errrr, I don't know. Katara they won't serve it with shrimp you know." He said slowly.

I growled. "That was one craving Zuko! I wan't ice cream! This kid will kill me if I don't eat it!" Oh no here it comes.

He tried to pull me back to him with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry I didn't know-"

"You probably think I'm gross now! I crave weird things and wake you up every night because I want food! I'm getting fatter every day and I bet you hate it!"

"Kat stop now you're being silly. You know I don't care about your weight."

I fought back the tears that were threatening to fall down my face, "r-really?"

He kissed my head and linked my hand into his, "Really. Come on let's go get that ice cream."

"Wow this is going to be fun to watch." Toph snickered with Aang.

"Toph! Katara is just having a mood swing, don't make her feel worse!" Ty Lee cried. Bless you Ty Lee, you were always the sweetest. "We can tease her about it later!"

I take back what I said Ty Lee. You are a horrible friend! How could- "You guys stop now Tara is raging behind Zuzu. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind passing off his fiance's anger towards someone besides himself." Ah Zula to the rescue...I think?

"Yeah if you want something fun to watch wait until she gets further into her pregnancy! My mom said that she was a total bitch when she was pregnant with me!" Sokka laughed. The group joined in much to my displeasure, I looked up to Zuko hoping he wasn't laughing but even he couldn't hide the slight lift to his lips. His eyes met mine and immediately he regained his composure and coughed awkwardly into his hand.

"Uhm can we go get some ice cream now?" He said to them. Hahn smirked and wrapped his hand around his shoulders.

"Man you are going to be so whipped during this pregnancy! I heard that pregnant women have an increased libido though so maybe you'll get something good out of it!" Hahn sent an inappropriate wink my way and I blushed bright red.

"AHH! ENOUGH ALREADY! I get it! I'm pregnant I'm sorry! You can all stop now, I'm just going to get ice cream myself! My son and I will be fine alone!" I screamed angrily, storming off towards the boardwalk along the beach. Zula told me the ice cream shop was called Cold Stone Creamery where you could mix toppings and ice cream which is exactly what I wanted.

I listened to Zuko lecturing them before calling out to me, "Kat come on they were just being funny! Let's all go together!"

"NO! FUCK YOU GUYS!"

"Damn Sugar Queen has been shouting more profanities lately! Maybe your kid will have your temper Sparky!" Toph laughed.

"Toph stop now Katara is pretty mad," Aang tried to stop her without laughing himself.

I was fuming. That was fine by me, you all make fun of me and I'll just go have fun with my baby. I don't need you guys to have fun!

"Tara come on we're sorry!" Zula shouted behind me. I kept walking and finally I noticed the ice cream store ahead of me. I walked through the doors and the smell of ice cream hit me. I was soooo ready to eat a shit ton of it now, my baby and I couldn't wait.

"Don't worry, mommy will get lot's of ice cream okay?" I said to my stomach. The doors opened up and I listened to my friend walk through the doors. I looked behind and saw their still smirking faces. I clicked my teeth and walked to the line where the lady waited patiently.

"Damn she's pretty pissed Zuko," Hahn whispered.

"Shut up Hahn you made it worse! God you guys are just horrible, leave her alone now!" He whispered back angrily.

"What would you like today ma'am?" The lady asked nicely. I smiled and looked at the flavors and toppings.

"How many things can I mix together?" I asked cautiously. Please say as many as you like, please say as many as you like!

"You can mix what ever you want, it will just add to the cost for each thing you put in."

YES! "Okay I want a large bowl, mint ice cream, chocolate ice cream, some of the birthday cake ice cream, m&m's, Reese's, chocolate chips, caramel, and hot fudge drizzled on top."

She looked at me with wide eyes and I sighed. "I'm pregnant. Please just let me get what my mind throws at me." I chuckled.

She smiled brightly and squealed. "Oh my gosh! Congratulations! Cravings must be tough huh?"

I laughed with her, "You wouldn't believe."

Sokka came up next to me while she made my ice cream, "Oh so you're happy again?"

"No fuck all of you. I'm not mad at her she did nothing wrong. She's being polite and nice to me by giving me my ice cream while you all gave me shit and teased me. So yes I'm happy because I get my ice cream, but I am NOT happy with you." I said icily.

She finished making my ice cream and handed it to me with a spoon, "I hope you two enjoy it!"

"Thank you!" I took a giant mouthful and felt like heaven. This was bliss. "It's perfect~ Thank you! The jerk with the run swim shorts will pay for it."

She laughed as Zuko made his way up to her handing her the bills and following me to my seat while everyone else got their share. "Kat come on please don't be mad at me! I'm sorry I really am." He said sadly.

I turned away from him and ate my ice cream in silence. He sighed, "Kat you know I love you. Hell I asked you to marry me because I can't imagine growing old with any one but you. He's my child as much as he is yours. I love you weight, cravings and all. They're the proof that you are carrying my son or daughter that I've wanted for so long. I didn't mean to laugh at you, really, it was just funny and I couldn't help myself. I should have stopped them before it got so out of hand."

I glanced at him with tears in my eyes. "You've gotten better at the elaborate apologizes."

"I've had practice." He said with a cheesy smile. I smiled back and kissed him swiftly on the lips.

"You're forgiven. I can't stay mad at you for too long or you really will leave me."

He frowned and kissed my cheek as I ate another spoonful of the sugary dessert. "Never"

"Aw what he's forgiven already!?" Sokka whined. Zuko smirked and continued to kiss my cheek and neck as the other sat down.

"See what did I say? Increased Libido. Katara just can't stop herself-"

"Hahn I suggest you shut your fucking mouth before I rip it off with molten scissors and then proceed to chop your dick off." I said quickly.

The group stopped and Zuko's kisses stopped due to his laughter. I paled as Hahn scooted back a few inches. "O-oh my god Hahn I am so sorry! I don't know why I said that-"

"Don't apologize for that Kat, he had it coming." Zuko laughed.

Toph began cracking up with him and soon the whole table joined after their shock had passes. I looked at Hahn with a guilty face and felt like crying. "Hahn-"

"It's alright Katara! I did have it coming I'm just a little shocked something like that came out of your mouth. I would expect stuff like that from Azula or even Toph-"

"Hey!" Zula shouted.

Hahn smirked, "Whatever you know I'm right babe." He made an attempt to kiss her lips only to meet her cheek as she turned away from him.

"Jerk."

"Love you."

"Whatever..."

We stayed in the shop until we had all finished our ice cream and I had gotten myself another serving. It was too good not to get again, plus I would go for a swim and walk it all off, no problem! The rest of the day was a lot calmer, the girls and I fell asleep on the beach under the shade while the boys had another go at soccer, then Sokka and Hahn taught Aang and Zuko how to surf. Of course I had awoken at that point listening to them getting wiped out by the waves and watched them quietly. Zuko wiped out about three times before he seemed to get the hang of it, and by the end of the day you wouldn't have know it was his first time. He was sexy, walking out of the water bare from his hips up and wet. His hair was soaked with the sea water and clung to his face like skin over his eyes. He walked towards me and I subconsciously took notice that I had licked my lips, savoring the view in front of me. It wasn't fair for him to be so god like.

"Like what you see?" He teased as I handed him his towel.

"Yes," I answered without hesitation. He looked surprised at first before he laughed and wrapping his towel around me and pulling me towards him, capturing my lips between his.

"I love you." He said against my parted lips.

"I love you too, I always will." I replied quietly. I pressed my lips against his and allowed him to pick me up, carrying me to our room in the villa where he proved just how much he loved me.

T.T THATS IT YOU GUYS! THAT'S THE LAST CHAPTER UHU T.T

(besides the short little epilogue I wrote)

*cries*

I can't even like this story has come so far and I'm really sad about letting it go! I can't believe there's only the epilogue left now T.T

I thought I would just mention the day Katara conceived was indeed that first time lol. I've heard so many people saying 'you can't get pregnant the first time. Yes you can. It really and seriously does happen you guys! Then I thought with that in there I could add other things like not knowing your pregnant. A lot of women just think they are really really ill and they don't find out unless someone points it out to them. Since they have a fairly new relationship I made them, especially Katara, picture kids in the future, so expecting kids right now would definitely not come to mind :D

I also had a TON of fun writing that little beach scene because I have a few family members who I have grown up with that had kids and from what I remember they NEVER got any weird cravings. Like Whuuuttt? But then I have friend that were able to provide me with some insight to some of the more common things pregnant women crave. Like sweets, dairy, sea food, so yeah shrimp and ice cream ahahah! I was going to go with a few others but I thought that was so weird when it came to my mind that it was perfect! And who doesn't like teasing Katara while her hormones are all over the place? I wanted this Katara to be a bit more mature and intelligent with that mother like feel than the show but I did miss her temper. So I had to throw that in there as well!

Thank you guys so much for reading this you guys! YOU ARE ALL AMAZING 3!
