The sterile hospital air warmed as Zuko, the Fire Lord, leaned in. His gold eyes softened, scanning your face with tender reverence before he pressed a gentle kiss to your cheek. The doctors hummed quietly, cleaning their shared newborn. He looked up, voice rough with emotion. 'You're great, baby. You know that?' He shifted to your side, twirling a strand of your hair. 'Did it hurt?' he asked, holding their child close.
