Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar the Last Airbender

His life was perfect, he had the perfect girlfriend, his grades were perfect, class president, baseball all-star, and well his family was wealthy. Everything was perfect until there was one small bump that changed his life.

"Zuko, Mai is here!" Ursa called from the parlor. Zuko smiled and check his hair once more in the mirror while he fixed his tux. It was the end of the school year and his family was celebrating his graduations with a formal party much to his distaste. On the upside his girlfriend, Mai would be there and things wouldn't be that bad. He exited his room and headed down stairs before anymore guests arrived. He smiled when he saw Mai, she had on a black sparkling down and seemed to hug her narrow hips, and her hair was up with some small curls framing her face. "Mai." He said putting his hand around her waist and kissing her cheek. She gave him a small smile and then frowned. "What's up?" he asked furrowing his eyebrows. She bit her lip "I need to talk to you. It's important." She said. He stared at her in confusion. "Okay let's go to my room."

He looked back at Ursa "We'll be right back mom." She frowned slightly "Hurry Zuko, after all this party is for you." With that she walked away into the ballroom area where all the guests were. Zuko smiled slightly then grabbed Mai's hand and led her upstairs. Once he shut the door and saw Mai pacing the floor with a blank face. "Mai?" he asked. She sighed "I just found out some interesting news." She said. He stared at her "What is it?" Once again she sighed and sat on the bed "I-I'm pregnant." She whispered. Zuko knelt down to look at her "What? Mai we used protection." He said. She shook her head "I had the virus for a week and I had to stop using my pills for the antibiotics."

Zuko's eyes widened "So I'm going to be a father?" he said putting a hand on her thin stomach. Mai frowned "You're not mad?" He shook his head "No. Mai I love you and even though I'm not ready to be a father I'm still happy that you're the mom." He said then kissed her lips. "And Yale?" she said raising an eyebrow. He had forgot, they had both gotten accepted into Yale and we're going to be there together. "We can get an apartment and I'll get a job. I will take care of you and my child." He said kissing her hand. She smiled slightly and nodded "Okay." He took Mai's hand and got her to her feet "I promise I'll be the best dad ever." He said bending down to kiss her stomach.

Nine Months Later

"Get out of the way!" Zuko yelled as he pushed a very pregnant Mai through the hospital lobby to the front desk. "May I help you?" the nurse asked. He nodded "Yes I'm Zuko Agni my wife is in labor." He said nodding down at Mai who was taking deep breaths and had a hand on her stomach. The Nurse stood up quickly and called over more nurses. "Take Mrs. Agni into the Birthing Wing." She ordered. The other nurses nodded and began to lead Mai away with Zuko right on their tails. He watched as they stripped Mai and put her into some hospital clothes and hooked her up to an I.V. She laid down and looked more relaxed. Zuko grabbed her hand as she fell asleep.

Watching her he began to think back those nine months. After telling their parents were not pleased at all but allowed them to keep the child as long as they were married. Both families refused to have a bastard child in their family. When Mai was 3 months they were married and got their own apartment as Zuko promised. They went to Yale and continued their classes and were excused these past two weeks due to Mai's birth date was coming up. Zuko had to suffer from a Wedding to a baby shower, the upside was that Mai was having a boy, a baby boy. He smiled as he shook his head from his memories.

A few hours later he walked around the hospital, the nurses and Mai kicked him out of the room because he kept fainting. He didn't know what to think, part of him was excited, the other was completely terrified. He knew it was going to be a major challenge with his son but he was going to the best father he could be. Zuko didn't want to be like his father, no, Ozai only cared for power and showed little interest in his son, Zuko wanted to be like his Uncle Iroh. He showed compassion and cared for Lu Ten. The thought of his late cousin made tears come to his eyes. When he was 16 his cousin was killed in action in the war. He shook his head and sat down by the wall and put his hands to his face while he waited.

A hand tapped his shoulder as he looked up to see a nurse standing there with a smile her face. "How are they?" Zuko asked as he stood up. The nurse chuckled "They are both fine. Your wife is asking for you." She said nodding her head to the door. He turned and gulped loudly as he entered the room.

For that one moment he was lost for words. In Mai's arms was the most beautiful thing he had ever saw, wrapped in a thin blue blanket laid his son. Mai was staring down at him with a smile on her face as she traced her fingers around his face. She noticed Zuko and nodded her head, a signal for him to come closer. "Its okay Zuko, its not like he bites." She said rolling her eyes. He smiled and walked closer to his wife. The baby in her arms was absolutely breathtaking. His eyes were golden, like his fathers, along with a head full of dark shaggy hair, his skin was porcelain like both his parents and he had the biggest smile on his face. Zuko couldn't take his eyes off his son and Mai noticed.

"Do you want to hold him?" she asked. He looked at her nervously "I can't. What if I drop him?" he asked unsurely. She rolled her eyes "You wont drop him." Mai held the boy to Zuko for him to take. Cautiously he took the boy from her arms and began to cradle him in his arms. Zuko grinned at the baby then looked at Mai. "So what are we going to name him?" he asked. She smiled "Well I was thinking, I want to name him Lu Ten." She said quietly. He quickly looked up at her and saw the smile on her face. "I think that's perfect."

He looked down at the perfect little boy in his hands. "Hey Lu Ten, do you know who I am? I'm your dad. I promise, I'll be the best dad ever, you can count on that." He said at his son who was now asleep with a small smile on his face. Tears began to form in Zuko's eyes and at the moment everything was perfect.

Hope you guys like it :D
