Zuko and Katara once cheated while engaged to and Mai.
A few years after the separations, Katara and Zuko Have Honora.
However, little did they know, Mai had a surprise for Zuko that day.
This surprise also will be a shock towards Honora....
Disclai...
It had been nine months. Everyone had gone their separate ways. Only Zuko and Katara stayed in the Fire Nation. I heard it was chaos when the Fire Nation's future Firelady was Water Tribe. I decided to move in a medium sized house in Republic City. Only Toph, Aang, and Ty Lee knew where I lived.
I had given birth to my lovely daughter. I named her Izumi Zeri Takao. She had dark black hair like me. But she had her father's golden eyes. I named her Izumi because Zuko said if I have his daughter, he wanted her name to mean something to us. Funny how he had those high hopes and here is reality.
I decided her middle name should be Zeri because Zeri was one of the only people to know about her. She also encouraged me I could be a good mom to Izumi. I also left here alone to keep this big secret so I owe her that much.
Her last name would be my last name, Takao. I did not want it to be Aryan like Zuko's.
I sat in a chair with her asleep in my arms. I wanted her to have a perfect life. She wasn't going to have to grow up learning the ways of a noble. Wear clothes and hairstyles that were uncomfortable. She could be whoever she wanted to be.
Only one thing I knew I wouldn't be able to hide from her. I already imagined her asking me a million times throughout her lifetime who her father was. I don't think I'll ever find the courage to tell her. I want her to know she's has me and that's all she needs.
So, I sit there. Thinking of the kind of mother I'm going to be. Trying my hardest to make sure she doesn't know about Zuko and Zuko about her. Who she really is. The heir of the Fire Nation. I walk her to her room and place her in the crib. I turn into my room and pick up a picture in a secret box.
A picture of me and her father. The night he proposed to me. Someone I fear who is the love of my life, and maybe whom I'll always love. I place it back in the box and tuck it away. I wonder, who am I? Why did it have to be like this? I wish I could go back to that perfect life.
For now, and maybe forever I think of my daughter and I. Who are we?
Hope you enjoyed Diamonds. The next chapter will explain how Zuko REALLY feels for Katara. And after that the birth of Honora. Feel free to continue reading and thank you for reading what you have so far. I also looked over and realized I can make some edits so look for those!
~Bye Diamonds~
