A/N: Well, this is it, it's the end. BTW: there is nearly a 1 year time skip between the epilogue and the last chapter.


Epilogue:

Arianna's POV

It was the day of Kuruk's first birthday, and the whole Fire Nation was going to celebrate. Arianna went into his room and found him fast asleep; she smiled to herself. He looked so peacefully when he slept; he looked like a smaller, slightly lighter skinned version of Zuko. She picked Kuruk up.

"Come on Kuruk, wake up."

He stirred slightly in her arms.

"Come on sweetie, time to wake up."

Eventually Kuruk woke up.

"Good morning sleepy head," Arianna said.

Kuruk snuggled closer to her. "Mama."

"Happy Birthday."

He cocked his head in confusion.

"You'll see sweetheart."

Arianna got Kuruk dressed and they joined Zuko, Iroh and Ursa in the dining hall.

"DADA!" Kuruk ran over to Zuko and tried to scrabble up in his lap, and Zuko helped him up.

"Good morning, and happy birthday," said Zuko.

After eating the morning meal, they prepared for the celebration of Kuruk's first birthday.

The party was very grand and Kuruk enjoyed his cake very much, although first he was quite unsure about it. By the time Kuruk was done eating his cake, he had it all over himself, in his hair, and all over his clothes. When he was done eating the cake, Arianna gave him a quick bath. He had a wonderful time opening his presents.

When Arianna went to put him to bed, he was out like a light. She laid him down in his crib and gave him a kiss.

"Sleep well my darling."

Arianna returned to her and Zuko's room where Zuko was waiting for her. She went behind the changing board and changed into a nightgown and then she brushed out her hair. When she was done, she joined Zuko in bed. She snuggled close to him.

"Kuruk sure seemed to enjoy his party," Zuko said.

"Yes he did," Arianna responded. "Zuko, I have something to tell you," she added after a moment.

"What?" Zuko asked.

"We're going to have another baby."
