Okay, I’ve been thinking about this for a while but it’s always bugged me how Toph’s oldest daughter looks like Zuko and her youngest daughter looks like Sokka (a commonly accepted head cannon) and how that must’ve caused a lot of drama, but I just found out today that Zuko raised Izumi by himself like he never canonically married anyone and then I was like oh cool, so he got a surrogate or some thing and then I connected the dots.
So Sokka never marries anyone. Zuko’s never marries anyone. Zuko and Sokka spend a LOT time with each other up until Sokka dies. Zuko has a surrogate child… Toph’s children looking oddly similar…. it’s too coincidental for me. 
So yes I’m insinuating that they were gay and Toph was their surrogate.
Just look at them!
And it makes sense why Toph never told Lin and Suyin because their lineage would be a massive safety issue concerning the amount of assassins that were after Zuko. I completely believe Toph would hide that from them for their safety.
Lin and Izumi look almost like twins! Toph probably wanted two kids and Zuko and Sokka wanted one and so Toph offered to be a surrogate so they could both have kids. Boom.
Wake up tumbler! They’re related!

Zuko and Mai had 5 kids and here is how (and a shortish explanation of who they are)
Yijun
An Orphan from Republic City, who stole food from Zuko. Zuko after finding out he was an orphan, brought him home, thinking ‘yea just til we can find him a good home’ and then after Izumi was born, he and Mai realized, ‘oh shit, Yijun’s our son!’ and then adopted him a day later. ‘Cause the Fire Nation was still recovering from a 100 years of racist propaganda so he wasn’t able to become Firelord, which he was fine with, he ended up as an ambassador to the earth kingdom, he had three kids with his wife, who absolutely flipped her shit when she found out her then boyfriend was the SON of the FIRELORD! He’s an earthbender.
Izumi
We all know Izumi, the Firelord, she was the kid planned for by Zuko and Mai, they thought they were only going to have one kid, bcs of their mutual trauma with siblings and shit. However they didn’t realize that Yijun was already their son when they had her, besides Yijun couldn’t inherit.
Pema
(not Tenzin’s wife, a different Pema)
After they adopted Yijun they started up an adoption system in the fire nation (a nationalized one that is), when they went to visit one in Caldera City, Pema jumped off a banister and landed on ZUKO’S HEAD, which made Mai laugh. Instead of getting in trouble she became a princess. Pema became a fire sage, (not all fire sages are benders in my book) she is a non-bender.
Lu-Ten II
Yijun and Izumi (they hadn’t adopted Pema yet), got along which assuage their fears about sibling rivalry, and them neglecting one of their kids, because they didn’t, so they decided to have another kid. Lu-Ten II was born a non-bender but after an incident with a set of spirits he gained the ability to bend air and earth, this also made him not die at ten (he was born sickly :(( ). He trained Korra in earthbending. Also he is wheelchair bound for the most part.
Azura
While they were only planning on having one more kid, surprise! Lu-Ten was a twin. Azura was born a fire bender and completely healthy. She had overheard that her best friend (Lu-Ten II) was dying, freaked out and ran away, so Lu followed her, where they ended up meeting twin spirits, who chose them to be their new ‘people.’ They had once been the guardians of an ancient, pre-lion turtle exodus, society, having taught humans who had survived by fusing their souls with lesser spirits, how to bend opposite elements. One spirit, the one that had chosen Azura, taught how to fire and water bend, the other who chose Lu-Ten II, controlled air and earth. Azura taught Korra how to firebend. Also her name is a fusion of Azula and Ursa. She one of the six most important girls in his life, was named after two of the other most important women in his life.
