Azure

Azula looked at Ursa like she was crazy. Their was no way she was going to keep a mess like the one she was holding in their house. Ursa had only went out to get more food and came back with no gold coins and tons of stuff they didn't need.

"But Azula it's needs us ," Ursa hugged her new gift close to her chest and hoped Azula would let her keep it.

"It does not need us and I don't want it," Azula move to take the offense out of her mother's arms, but Ursa would not let her.

Ursa held tighter to her new gift and it made small whimpering nosies from fear of being take away from it's new care taker. Ursa ran until she hit a dead end and could no longer hold Azula off.

"Mother give it to me and I'll drop it off in town,"

"NO! Lets keep--" Ursa was cut it when the thing in question started to cry in her arms. She guessed the shouting had frighted it. "Shh it's okay I'm here,"

The thing calmed down and Ursa looked into bright blue eyes, that begged her to keep the child. Their was no way in this world or the spirit world she would give this little joy up. He was too cute and young to be alone. She could tell by his dark skin and blue eyes he was a long way from home.

Azula watched Ursa handle the small bundle with care and love. Their was no way her mother would give the child up. She would just have to get use to it. "Okay you can keep it,"

Ursa looked up at her daughter and smiled, she knew Azula would let her keep the child. "Thanks sweetheart. Now I need you to carry all his stuff to the room next to mines and I need to put his crib together,"

Azula hoped her mother was playing, just because she agreed to her keeping the child did not mean she was going to take care off it. "Now hold on this is not my job to take care of this child,"

Ursa felt a little pain at her chest and looked into Azula's golden eyes. "Please I need your help,"

Azula could see tears in her eyes and knew she had to help. "Whatever."

Ursa smiled as Azula walked away to get the baby's new stuff she had spent a hundred gold coins on. She had brought the nicest crib, clothes and toys they had in town for the child and brought as much diapers and baby food as she could find. Then had a carriage driver take it to her cliff side house she shared with Azula.

Two hours later Ursa went to see what Azula was up to after she had feed and changed the child. When she went into the room Azula was just finishing the crib. But she had put together the changing station and mobile for the child. The girl turned to looked at Ursa, "You like it?"

Ursa did like the room and she really liked the fact that some how the walls in the room went form white to a beautiful deep blue. How Azula painted to walls she did not know. "Yeah, it's great,"

The small bundle in her arms seemed to like the room too, because he cooed in her arms and laughed. Azula lifted her head up and tried to get a better look at the child. She had only seen the top if his head and wanted to see what the child looked like.

Ursa noticed her trying to view the child, "Do you want to see him?"

Azula took awkward step back and nodded her head, "No, I'm fine,"

Ursa watched her leave the room and hoped she would get use to the child in time. She didn't want Azula to get wired around the child and never want to be near it.

Ursa woke up with the sounds of a baby's cry in her ears. The child had been crying off and on for the last two hours and Ursa was tired. She had been getting up every night for the past two weeks taking care of the child on her own. Azula never really touched the child unless Ursa asked her to.

Ursa was about to get up when the child stopped crying. She still decided to would be best to find out what was wrong with him. She pulled her robe on over her night gown and walked to the baby's room. When she got their she was highly surprised, Azula was holding the child.

The fire bender was holding the small child close to chest and was sitting in the same chair Ursa had used to rock her and Zuko to sleep in. Ursa listened closer and could hear Azula talking to the child.

"I know your form the Water tribe but your very cute. Now don't get use to being told that by me because I won't do it often. The only reason I'm here is to give mother a break and time to sleep,"

Ursa could feel tears pricking at the corners of her eyes.

"Another thing, Mother seems to be at a loss for names for you. So I think I'll name you and tell her in the morning," the child giggled in Azula's arms.

"Okay, calm down. The last thing I need to change your diaper. So I think I will call you Azure. It means blue and I like blue and you have blue eyes," the child cooed in awe of his second care taker giving him such a name.

Ursa smiled at the name knowing she would be calling the young boy that from now on. Azula had picked a perfect name. She backed out the door way and let Azula have her moment with the child. She knew the girl would came around it just took time. She was happy to learn the girl could grow to love and the child.
