Diary of a Mad Pregnant Woman
- - - - -
April 16
Wow... I've actually started a diary. Iroh says it's good to get emotions out in some way, and he suggested writing them down. So I went down to the market (to my displeasure) heavily guarded just to purchase a blank book to write in!
But we can't all have what we want, right?
Anyways...
Here I am once again, I'm torn into pieces! Actually... no I'm not. I have been very, very well off and very happy! You see, ever since I, Katara, and my brother, Sokka, and very good friend, Aang, were able to befriend and help our ex-enemies- Iroh and Zuko- things turned out for the better.
I'm so glad everything is behind us now...
I mean... Aang is no longer chased after, the war has been ended, the people are starting to calm down and start making new relations with the other tribes and nations in the world...
Things have gone well...
Especially for me.
You see... along the way of turning this war around... I kinda started to have a crush on a particular boy- not boy... man.
You see... he's a very powerful bender- a firebender to be precise. And well... the crush should have never been possible! I am a waterbender after all. It would have never worked out! That's what many people of the nations have been saying for YEARS.
But you know what they say.
Love is blind.
Sure enough, it turns out that my crush wasn't a crush at all... it was the forming of a love relationship... yeah, a true love. Even though this certain firebender wasn't exactly the cuddly kind of person who oozed affection... he showed his kindness and love in other subtle ways...
But that soon grew.
Oh yes, we actually became really serious about this relationship. It still makes my heart flutter at the thought that I, a simple water peasant, was able to find true love with a man who is the strongest in his nation.
What? Still stumped at who it is?
I'm talking about Zuko of course!
Oh, I know if Aunt Wu had told me he would have been the man I would have married, I would have kept at least 5,000 kilometers away from him- and then laughed my butt off.
Sure enough... we did get married.
I still laugh at the blessing this is.
Even though he is Fire Lord and watches the kingdom, he is so... affectionate, and so sweet!
Ever since I had started dating him I had lived in the palace, and in the mornings he would place a flower beside my bed- a flower of rare beauty and most calming fragrances.
Even after we married, he does that on days he leaves bed early. A single red rose lies on his pillow for me to see.
But you know what? I enjoy it so much more when I wake up with his strong arms securely wrapped around me. It brings such comfort...
And the romance... it lingers so thickly in the air between us two. I think he purposely wants for everyone in the world to know that we are very much in love- not trying to promote some cause for breeding with the different heritages. That's what many people try and accuse us of doing since we had become a married couple.
I still can't believe how romantic Zuko can be! It's so sweet! I just can't get enough!
And his stoic attitude...
It's almost long gone.
I find him laughing more and more so at some of the misadventures I tell him of from when my brother and I were young. He's always s fascinated of what my brother and I did back at the Water Tribe when we were younger.
And speaking of the Water Tribe, Zuko thought it would be a nice trip to go down there to meet up with my family. (Since I married the Fire Lord, it would only make sense that his wife would live with him in this hot, humid, and stuffy place). Of course I wouldn't want to miss this opportunity! Now he talks about how we should raise our children in the Southern Tribes- since it's more family oriented and all. Of course I have to laugh and slap him on the shoulder. I know how big a sacrifice it is for Zuko to decide something as this; I know his heart is in the Fire Nation. I also know how much he needs to care for the people, and he should be up there... but he really wants our children to grow up in an environment I lived in.
But children?
PLEASE!
I know I'll have to have a child in the future- Zuko needs an heir to the throne. We constantly are harassed by that fact, but the mere thought of having a child is so... so farfetched!
Me?
A mother?
It sounds nice... but maybe when I'm older I'll finally be able to start producing children. Trust me, I do wish to have some of my own in the future.
Speaking of my future, I need to go to the physicians. I've had an upset stomach for the past week. Apparently everyone is catching this virus. I just hope it doesn't last any longer. I've been suffering enough as it is. I can barely keep a meal down!
I sure hope the healer's can give me a good medication. I'm tired of being ill.
I should be going. I'll let you know what happens later.
See you diary! I just hope Zuko's prying eyes don't fall on this!

Katara sighed as she hid the journal before rubbing her grumbling stomach. She muttered a few curses as she gritted her teeth. This stupid ache had been haunting her for about a week! She really didn't enjoy it either!
She sighed, "I guess I should be on my way..." she muttered.
If only she knew what would be facing her in the near future... the VERY near future.
