Late because:
1. I didn't find about Zutara Week until Day 3, so I did all the other prompts before going back to the beginning.
2. I had a hard time thinking of something do-able for this.
3. Once I thought of something, I stalled (like I'm currently doing with Change).
4. I spent this past weekend at my uncle's house, which meant no internet, which meant no refs for Zuko's outfit.

What's Going On
In preparation for the baby, Katara and Ursa are giving Zuko "Baby 101" lessons. Even though the girls will be doing the most for the baby (he's kinda rebuilding the world in a harmonious fashion and can't be there all the time), Gran-gran would be pissed if she came up for a visit and her new grandson-in-law couldn't even change a diaper. Unfortunately, Zuko isn't a natural at diaper changing, even with a watermelon. Lucky for him, his mother and wife have endless patience. But he's praying Gran-gran won't be visiting any time soon.

Ideas
Originally, I thought of doing a family portrait (Ursa, Zuko, Katara, Sokka, Gran-gran, and Hokota), but then I realized that would take a while, and after many sleepless nights, I came up with this. As usual, I'm all about trying to come up with something original, and here it is!

Old Ursa
I noticed that a lot of people who draw Zutara + Ursa make Ursa look like how she does on the show. Let's think about this: many years have passed since she was banished and she spent those years who knows where. She went from being the pampered princess to probably an Earth Kingdom refuge. When Zuko finally found her, she was bound to have some wrinkles and grey hair. And I'm pretty sure they don't have hair dye and fancy de-wrinkling make-up in Avatarland.
Also...
Traditionally, Ursa would have no idea how to care for a baby, being a princess and all. But in my Avatarland, during her banishment, she travelled around and took care of other people's babies to fill the void that was left in her soul when she left her own children (well, mainly Zuko).

Katara's Outfit
No one expects the very pregnant Fire Lady to get all dressed up in her royal clothes when she's not doing anything public. Hell, they don't even expect her to wear her crown! (The royal hair combing position isn't ideal for someone so large.) So mostly she just wears her comfy dresses that are easy to get on, and doesn't care about what she looks like. She's the water-bending Fire Lady, she can do whatever the fuck she wants.

Katara's Necklace
A lot of people like to draw Fire Lady Katara with a new necklace. But I don't think she'd give up her mother's necklace that easily, and neither does Zuko. So in addition to her fire stone wedding ring, he made her a new charm for her necklace. He doesn't want to replace her mother, he just hopes she can love both of them simultaneously.

I think I've covered everything.

Ursa + Zuko + Katara + ATLA = Bryke's
Art + Watermelon = mine
