A/N: There is about a 2 1/2 to 3 month time skip between this chapter and the last one

Arianna's POV

When Arianna was about five and a half months pregnant, she and Zuko were asked to go to Ba Sing Se. Zuko was definitely going to go and Arianna was trying to convince Zuko to let her go.

"Come on Zuko, please," Arianna begged for the thousandth time.

"No, it's not safe," Zuko said.

"I'll be fine," Arianna responded.

"What about the baby?" Zuko replied.

"The baby will be fine," Arianna insisted. She looked at him with pleading eyes.

"No."

Arianna continued looking at him.

"No," he repeated.

She kissed him and then continued to look at him.

"No." He could feel his resolve weakening.

She kissed him again.

"Fine," Zuko said.

She threw her arms around him. "Thank you."

"But you're going to be taking it easy," Zuko replied.

"I will, I promise," Arianna responded.

A few days later they set sail for the Earth Kingdom. It took them a few weeks, but eventually they made it to the edge of the Earth Kingdom.

On the way to Ba Sing Se, they made several stops, one of them being Omashu, Arianna was happy to see King Bumi and Flopsie again, it had been many years since she had seen the both of them, but finally, they made it to the Earth Kingdom Capital. By the time they arrived, Arianna was almost seven months along in her pregnancy.

"Wow, I haven't been here since I was five," Arianna said.

"It sure is grand," Zuko replied.

At the station, they were met by the Earth King's adviser, and then they were taken to the palace, where they met the Earth King.

After talking for a while, Zuko and Arianna were allowed to retire to their room for a nap.

"Your child is kicking up a storm," she said once they were alone.

Zuko put a hand on Arianna's swollen stomach and sure enough, he felt the baby kicking.

"Come on, let's get some rest, you look tired," Zuko replied.

"Yes, I am, but I don't think the baby will let me sleep," Arianna responded.

"Come on little one, let Mommy sleep, please," Zuko said to the baby.

They lied down and Zuko fell asleep fairly quick, but it took Arianna awhile to fall asleep because of the baby. The two of them slept for a few hours and not long after they got up, it was time to eat, and that made Arianna happy, because the baby was hungry.

Zuko and Arianna stayed in Ba Sing Se for a little less than two months, and then they headed home. By the time they reached the edge of the Earth Kingdom, Arianna was about eight and a half, almost nine, months pregnant.

A/N: You all can start guessing if Arianna is going to have a boy, girl, or twins, and names if you want. Anyone who gets it right has bragging rights

StariAri: You are most certainly welcome!

Raidersfan777: I'm glad that you're happy.

Broseph: My sister said the same thing and she suggested using Ari, I like that name, but only as a nickname. Thanks for the review.

Until next time!
