Summary: Zuko finally comes home, and has a little surprise for Katara.
Author's Notes: Yeeeah. Not so much. Leave some lovin’?
“Zuko!”
She ran into his arms and wrapped her legs around him, and he swung her around.
“Where’d you go? I woke up, and all the sudden you were just gone. And someone said you had left on urgent business…I don’t hear from you at all…Spirits, I thought-”
And he kissed her so hard that when he pulled back she nearly lost her grip around his neck, and nearly let go of his waist, but he caught her around hers and smiled. “What was that for?”
“I missed you.”
And even though she blushed she smiled. “I missed you, too.”
“Good, because we’re going to have the best dinner tonight the Fire Capitol can cook up.”
“Really…?”
“Yep.” He smiled widely as his thumb ran over the stone in his pocket, the smooth stone cool to the touch. The stone of the necklace he was planning on giving to her that night.
And she smiled just as widely and released her legs from around him and dropped down to the ground. “I’ll go start getting ready! Oh, I’m so glad you’re back!”
And as she spun around on her heels. he grabbed her by her hand and twirled her back to face him. And kissed her again. “Wow,” she breathed, “you must have missed me a whole bunch.”
“You have no idea.”
And at the dinner that night, before dessert but after the dinner, he got down on one knee and held the necklace up to her, and for a moment she just blinked and then a smile slowly graced her face, and then she hopped up from where she sat and tackled him to the ground, so happy. “Yes, yes, yes!” she squealed. “Of course!”
And they got married a year later.

“Zuko?”
Groan.
“Are you awake?”
“Mmf, now I am.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, what’s the matter?”
“Nothing, I was just thinking.”
“What were you thinking about that you’d have to wake me up?”
“The future.”
“What about it?”
“Just…stuff.”
“Like…war stuff?”
“Zuko.”
“Huh?”
“I’m tired of war.”
A pause. “Yeah, me too.”
“No, I was thinking about…future. As in…” An uncomfortable pause. “Family.”
“Really.”
“Really.”
“We already know we’re living in the Fire Nation, at the capitol, in the castle…”
“Yeah.”
“It’s the perfect place to raise children, right? I mean, you were partly raised there…”
A pause, and then a drawn out: “Yeah...”
“Zuko?”
“Uh-huh?”
“I’m pregnant.”
Silence.
