Who Am I Really?

Chapter 16: End of the Black Tiger (Pt. 1)

Katara POV

I had to be hallucinating. Did he really come back? I don't what compelled me but I latched onto him and gave him the biggest hug. I knew I had missed my best friend, if I could even still call him that. I know we've said some hurtful things to each other, but deep down we could never hate each other forever. For me, I could never.

"Are you okay, you look like you've been crying?" Aang asked me.

He had always known me, always there there to comfort me.

"I'm fine, just glad you're here." I said pulling away.

"Aang I-" I started but Zuko walked towards us at the entrace.

"Aang!" Zuko said coming up putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Sifu Hotman" Aang bowed

He's still him inside. I knew he could never be cold or evil. I see HIM clear as day. The perfect boy, now a man. Always setting aside his own feelings for others. Funny, sometimes too optimistic, but smart. If he saw himself like I do, he'd know he's perfect.

I looked towards Zuko, or my husband. Strong and handsome, but not Aang. I tried pushing down my thoughts and concentrate on Zuko and my baby, which we learned we'd be having a girl. I didn't even realize Zuko and Aang were talking till I heard Aang say "Congratulations."

"Huh?" I asked quickly looking at him.

"Zuko says you're having a girl." He said smiling.

"Yes, we are. Thank You." I said

Zuko looked down at me with a confused face, so I just turned my head to another door.

"How about tea? We can talk with a nice cup of tea." I said clapping look back in forth at Zuko and Aang.

Zuko raised an eyebrow at me while Aang just chuckled.

"If Zuko's uncle is making it, I"m in." Aang said.

"This isn't a tea party Katara, we actually need Aang remember." Zuko said.

"Of course, just being friendly. What else would all of us be talking about." I said walking towards the room.

Aang and Zuko stood there for a second when followed me.

Aang POV

We sat making small talk for a few minutes. They said they needed to talk to me. I figured it had something to do with this gang or something. If they even knew about that. It would be the perfect time to get information. Although, I am enjoying myself. It's nice being with them again. I always thought I be angry forever and lose myself. I happy to have such good friends who helped me through it.

I also can try to accept they're happy together and start a family. I know many others would have done a lot worse if they were me. But there not me. Even though I don't know who I am right now. 

"I am so grateful I get to serve tea to the Avatar once more." Iroh said walking in.

"I'm grateful to be in the presence of  "The Dragom of the West." Or be served by the Grand Lotus of the White Louts. Who also happens to be the Firelord's uncle." I teased.

Iroh burst out in laugher and handed all of us our tea.

"Thank you Uncle." Zuko said.

Iroh smiled and waved at us all before walking away.

"Such a great man." I said all of a sudden.

"Indeed." Katara said.

I decided I could ask them a few things now.
