Ok, so I am rewriting this story. It is mostly the same, but with more details and grammar fixes. Enjoy!


She was pregnant. No other way around it. No words to soften the blow of the sentence. Katara the Waterbender, girlfriend to the current Avatar was pregnant with Prince Zuko's baby. How could something like this happen? Usually Katara was so responsible and she was in love with the Avatar after all. What went wrong?

Both Katara and Zuko were dating other people. They certainly had no reason to cheat on their partners, right? But as fate has it, it turns out to be all a big misunderstanding that turned into a huge problem. The night when it all happened Katara and Aang where fighting over some ever so frivolous and most likely both of them had forgotten what had sparked the argument in the first place.

Zuko on the other hand was tired of Mai. She was so suppressive, she always controlled him. He no longer loved her, after the 100 year war had ended they moved in together, but that's when he saw Mai's other side, her true-self. He was only with her because she was Firenation and being the Prince he had to keep the bloodline pure. Zuko of course was in love with Katara, he saw the way she was graceful in the ways of the Waterbenders.

He had always been in love with her; he at one point did indeed love Mai, but was not in love with her. Maybe it was meant to happen this way. No one can really know.

Zuko who was a bit buzzed when he met up with Katara that one fateful night. Mai had just got done putting him through the ringer. She was mad at him for being late to a party. Just wanting an escape he went into the wine cellar and dug out the strongest wine he could find.

After half a bottle of wine he staggered out of the cellar to find a drunken Katara. The couple confused one another for their partner and tried to apologize and kiss each other. In the state of confusion they made their way over to an abandon dark meadow and collapsed in the lush dewy grass.

Katara rolled over and kissed Zuko. Zuko placed his calloused hand over her soft, tan face and kissed her back. The two carried on with their activity and collapsed next to one another to only wake up with a splitting headache and in complete shock.

The pair just awkwardly avoided eye contact as they shimmied into their clothes and went their separate ways. Then one month later Katara is feeling sick, bloated. Her taste for certain foods seemed distorted. She of course suspected that it was an illness or the investable, but then quickly brushed away the idea.

It was Toph who first discovered the 17 year olds 'condition'. The young Earthbender felt the small heart beat that sounded from her abdomen area. At first she shook it off as nothing, but as the days went on it seemed to grow stronger.

When they were alone one day it was the Earthbender who said something. "I know about the baby." The blind girl glanced over in the direction of the heartbeat.

The Waterbender flinched as she nervously brushed back thick hair. "Toph, what are you talking about that is crazy talk. Why would I of all people be pregnant?"

She crossed her arms over her chest and snorted. "Katara don't be coy. I hear its heart beat. I always knew that you and Aang were doing it. So when were you planning to tell us?" She gave a small laugh as she felt the Waterbender's heartbeat quicken.

Then she heard a soft crying sound. Toph moved over to Katara and awkwardly wrapped an arm around Katara's shoulders. "It's not Twinkle toes' baby is it?"

The crying Waterbender shook her head crying even harder. Then she managed to choke out an explanation. "Aang and I never had sex," her sobs grew, "its Zuko's."

"You mean that it's Hothead's baby?"

"Yes," Katara whimpered.

"Oh Katara, you have to tell Aang and Zuko soon."

"I know, but I cheated on Aang. How can I face the man that I love when I am pregnant with his best friend's child?" Katara cried as she sobbed into Toph's shoulder.

"I will be here every step of the way. I know that you would have never have done this without an unreasonable explanation."

"I was drunk and I thought it was Aang, but I didn't realize."

"Oh Katara," Toph murmured.


"Katara how the hell could you?!" Aang yelled at his crying girlfriend.

"I am sorry Aang, I was drunk and I thought it was you. It was the night of our fight." She sobbed.

"So you are trying to blame this on me? You are the worst, you know what Katara. You can go over to Zuko and raise that baby, because we are through." The Airbender yelled at he stormed out of Katara's room.

She collapsed into a small ball on the floor. Her life was ruined. The one that she loved was gone. She was alone and pregnant. She couldn't raise this baby on her own and she couldn't give it up for adoption. This baby would be the rightful heir to the Firenation throne.

More importantly this was Zuko's baby also and he deserved to know. Slowly she trudged over to Zuko's place- the Firenation palace. She slowly walked up the guarded front entrance. "Please let me in." Katara begged the guard.

The guard recognized her as the Fire Lord's very close friend and let her in. Katara walked in the grand palace and made her way to Zuko's room. She knocked on the door and was met with the stern face of the baby's father.

"Katara, what are you doing here at this hour?" He asked a bit surprised then he noticed the tear stains on her face. "Katara what happened? What's wrong?"

"Zuko, I'm pregnant with your baby." She sobbed into his shoulder and wrapped her arms around him. While he just stood there still processing what she just told him.
