A/N Hey, guys. This is the sequel to Outcast. It takes place three months after Outcast. If you haven't read Outcast I suggest you do, this story will make a lot more sense if you do. I'm still taking ideas for this story, I've gotten a lot of good ones so far, but if you have an ideas don't be afraid to tell me! R&R -Shay

My hand gently was slightly shaking. I was lying in bed, looking up at the ceiling as Zuko sat beside me. I absolutely refused to look forward. was examining the baby with Katara, and my thoughts are if something goes wrong I can see it on their faces, so…I am not looking forward. I am currently six months pregnant, and I am still freaking out. When our baby was first checked out by a real doctor, he said I was putting too much stress on the baby. This could be very harmful to the baby, so for the past three months I have been trying to stay calm…and surprisingly succeeding. It's been hard, considering the over active bladder, mood swings, soreness and random cravings but I think I've don't pretty well…Well, we'll find out now.

Zuko sensed my uneasiness, he gently took my hand. I smiled up at him show him I was okay. Zuko smiled back, but I could tell he was just as worried as me, maybe even more so. There are heavy bags under his eyes, he wasn't sleeping much. The responsibility of being Fire Lord was really taking its toll on Zuko. I honestly did feel bad from him. It must be hard to run a whole nation.

"Well, Princess." Zuko and I both looked at Dr. Chen and Katara. "Are you sure there is nothing you want to know about the baby, gender and number wise?" I looked at Zuko, and then we both shook our heads no. We wanted everything to be a complete surprise. "Well then, everything seems about fine." Zuko and I both let out a sigh of relief. "I still want you to take it easy though." I nodded.

"Thank you." I said as Dr. Chan left the room. Katara came and sat by me, but her mind seemed…elsewhere.

"Kya, I have to go meet with Aang and the Earth King, were talking about the colonies, I'll be back soon." He gave me a kiss on the cheek then left the room.

"Katara?" I asked sitting up.

"Hm? She didn't look up at me.

"What's on your mind?"

She sighed. "It's Aang."

"Katara, really? It's been four months since Aang defeated Ozai, everything has been fine. You don't have to worry about him!"

"No, I'm not worried about him. Per say, I'm worried about…us." She said twiddling her thumbs.

"What do you mean?"

"After Aang defeated the Fire Lord we…we kissed." My jaw dropped. "I mean it's not the first time we kissed! But it's the first time we kissed and I…liked it. We haven't talked about it since it happened…Maybe he just isn't interested anymore…"

"Don't think like that, maybe he's just nervous. I think you should talk to him."

"I've tried! He's always busy with 'Avatar duties'. I never see him anymore."

"Well, he's speaking with Zuko now. Let's go talk to him."

"You can't interrupt a Royal meeting! What will Zuko say?"

"He won't be mad, I'm carrying his kid. He probably won't even say anything." I said honestly. "He's too scared to ' set of my hormones'." I laughed. "Now c'mon let's go."

We got up and started walking down to Zuko's office. When we got there I was about to open the door, Katara stopped me.

"Wait! What do I say?" That is a really good question.

"I honestly don't know…"

Katara looked horrified. "What did you say when you and Zuko got together?"

"Zuko and I were awkward at first…then something just sort of clicked. But, I would just tell him how you feel…" I really hope that works…

She inhaled deeply. "Okay, let's go."

I opened the door and Zuko and King Kuei were shaking hand.

"The harmony and Restoration act will certainly bring peace throughout our world!" King Kuei exclaimed.

"It certainly will." Aang said standing looking over them.

"Thank you so much for having me, Fire Lord Zuko, but I should be going back to Ba Sing Se. I hope you all will visit the city soon."

"Of course." Zuko said. The Earth King walked out of the room. It was just Zuko, Aang and I. Zuko went to sit at his new desk.

"Katara, why don't you show Aang the new Koi fish we got in the garden…" I said giving Katara a look.

"Oh! Yeah! Let's go Aang…" Katara said blushing.

"Okay." Aang said smiling. They walked out of the room.

"We got new Koi fish?" Zuko asked me, as I walked over to him.

"No, it's a long story." Zuko pulled me into his lap and placed a hand in my stomach.

"It looks like he or she coming tomorrow…" He said slightly rubbing it. The baby started Kicking his hand, we both smiled. He was right; my baby bump was pretty big…

"It's just around the corner, we have three more months." I inhaled.

"Are you nervous?"

Of course I'm nervous! It's not like I've raised, let alone gave birth, to a kid! But I didn't want Zuko to know that. "I don't know…What did the Earth King want?" I changed the subject. Zuko's face lit up.

"It's called the Harmony Restoration movement. We're moving all of the Fire Nation armies out of the Earth Kingdom. It's going to be the first step of restoring peace to the world, who knows where is could go now! The Earth King is announcing it tomorrow!"

"Zuko, I don't mean to be a kill joy, but do you really think it's going to that easy? That the troops are going to get up and move?"

"Of course they will! I'm the Fire Lord. They have to do what I say!"

"Okay…" This could go on forever, so just decided to shut my mouth. "Come one Fire Lord Zuko. You look exhausted, let's go to bed."

That night we feel asleep really quickly. Since I found out I was pregnant I've been tired most of the time, but with Zuko it just proved how exhausted he was. He hasn't told me yet, but I can tell how much of a toll this is taking on him, mentally and physically. I think he just doesn't want me to get nervous too. I just wish he would tell me.

The next morning, when I woke up Zuko was the first thing I saw. I smiled.

"Good Morning." He said. I kissed him gently.

"Good Morning." I replied. We both got up and started our day. Zuko had a meeting this morning, and I was still really tired so I stayed in bed. That afternoon though we were sitting in the courtyard enjoying each other's company. We were sitting under a tree, watching the Turtle-ducks. My head was in his lap, he was stroking my hair.

"Y'know we haven't started planning the wedding." I pointed out.

"I thought I told you, no planning is needed. Whatever you want, I'll get it. It's supposed to be the happiest day of your life. And I intend to make it just that." I smiled up at him. I pulled his head down toward me.

"You spoil me." I said kissing him.

"Just as I should." He deepened the kiss. He shifted us so he was on top of me, making sure to avoid any pressure to my stomach. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Excuse me." A small voice said. Zuko jumped off me and I shot up. We were both blushing. A maid stood before us. "You have visitors in the throne room. They requested to see both of you." She bowed and then left. Zuko and I looked at each other. No one ever wanted to see both of us, on Zuko. We both got up. Zuko put an arm protectively around me as we walked to the throne room.

When we walked in, my stomach dropped I felt as if I was going to vomit.

"Kya, haven't seen you in a long time." A young man in water tribe attire, stood before me. He was right it has been a while since I last saw him…It was Sangok.
