"My feet are tired!"

"I need ta pee!"

"Slow down!"

"I need a nap!"

"Is we there yet!?"

Precious cargo... More like pain-in-my-ass cargo... Suki thought to herself as they walked up Iroh's steps. At first, it was exciting seeing that YN was pregnant. Absolutely crazy, knowing it's Zuko's baby. And she's getting pretty big too. But I think my ears might fall off now.

"Look. We're finally here." She said flatly. "Please. Enjoy."

"Bye! Thanks!" You smiled and waddled up to Iroh's shop, completely content with the arraignment. The letter from Zuko simply said that Suki was going to take you to Iroh and to wait for Zuko to come see you there. No promises, no guarantees. "Old man! Old man! Come see ya niece or nephew!"

"YN!?" Iroh immediately popped his head out. "Is that you!?"

"Ya, get out here, wrinkly!" You laughed loudly.

Quickly he came out in his apron.

"Oh, oh, oh." He cooed over you and your belly. "My great-niece or nephew. There they are. Growing inside of you. May I touch?"

"Ya, ain't nobody in the Swamp who ain't been all over it." You leaned back, pushing some leaves out of the way.

"Please, please, sit. Get off your feet. Relax. What brings you here? Is the baby okay?" He asked, handing you a cup of tea and pulling up a chair for you to sit down in.

"Zuko said he's comin' here for us." You beamed. Maybe he had broken up with Mai. Perhaps he was going to allow you to stay with Iroh and raise the child here, close to both him and the Swamp.

"Oh. Oh!" Iroh smiled. "Happy times then! Something good must have happened!"

If a war was good, that was.

"Hey Aang!" Suki ran up to the whole gang. "You will not believe what I just learned."

"That you can't keep a secret?" Sokka laughed at her.

"YN is pregnant!!!" She practically screeched.

The whole group paused on their way to the battle zone.

"What?"

"What?"

"...What?"

Aang especially paused. Was that why Zuko was so insistent on keeping the colonies together? The mingling of the benders? To normalize it so he could have... his own family?

"Zuko's going to have a... Swamp baby?" Sokka could hardly contain his laughter. "Mr. Uptight-Never-Laughs?! Mr. No-Smiles?! Having a baby with the Swampiest of them all?! That's too good!"

"It's not funny, Sokka!" Katara hit his arm. "It's sweet and beautiful!"

"And top secret!" Suki warned him. "And don't tell him I told you!"

But Aang was deep in thought. But they couldn't stop for long. They had to get to the fight.

The contemplation that Aang had, didn't last long and soon enough Aang was draging Zuko through the air and knocking him out cold. He wasn't about to have another battle on his hands. It was however, the Avatar's turn to have a change of heart.

Aang now was in full support of Zuko's plan to scrap the Harmony Restoration Movement. Or at least, to modify it. What kind of world would he want to live in where his own friend couldn't be with his own child?
