The fire war renaissance

Chapter 57: Reunion three

Okay everyone, here's to the last "Reunion" chapter. When I originally planned out this story I had always had the idea that the group would get separated a lot, and every time they were reunited I'd call the chapter "Reunion" (i.e: chapter 24 was Reunion One, and chapter 29 was Reunion Two), and it seems like I stuck to that formula.

And thank you for all the feedback on my odd question last week, it was much appreciated.

Chapter time….

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Reunion Three

Katara found herself to be very fidgety after her conversation with Azula slowly turned into them silently collecting their own thoughts.

She hated everything about the situation, her being infertile, keeping it from Aang all that time, and going so low as to ask Azula to be the one to do the one thing that she couldn't. But what was worse was that once she and Azula became silent, she was crashed with the realization of what day it was in the physical world.

It was getting closer and closer to her and Aang's one year anniversary.

Katara sighed. She was lost in the spirit world and Aang was nowhere to be found, and that was on top of all of things they would have to eventually talk about when they did meet up again. She clutched the pillow she was lying against in an aggravated manor, only having herself to blame for everything. Her stress was the reason she was even in the situation in the first place, if she wanted to get technical.

And what if her and Aang couldn't work things out? Her mind panicked. What if Azula was right and Aang left her because he didn't feel like she trusted him anymore? Her mind panicked even more.

"Why can't you trust the fact that I love you, Katara?" She could practically hear Aang's voice asking her, that low and soft voice that seemed to show just how much older he had gotten, but still how innocent he was. She melted whenever she heard that tone of his, a melt that somehow still sent shivers of guild and utter worry going through her all at the same time.

"Are you alright?" Azula asked, coming out of whatever mind fog she was in when she heard Katara's breath hitching across the room.

"Oh, yeah, fine." Katara conjured up a smile and Azula just corked a brow.

"Um, alright." Azula gulped, still a little shaking up by her new found duty. She darted her eyes over to the water bender once more, still pondering more and more about how Katara could possible chose her to bear Aang's children. She was relieved, though, to hear that Katara finally trusted her, a silent goal Azula had strived towards ever since she almost broke the pair up a while back. But now she faced another impossible hall. Almost as if gaining Katara's final trust was an ironic jest. She couldn't just be friends with Katara now, she had to look at her every time knowing that she was with her husband…and vise versa. She gulped at the chilling thought.
