This is the squeal to Trouble in Paradise. It may have taken well, way over a month to outline this story, but it's finally out. Anyway,if you haven't read it it's not essential to read it, but a few moments in this story will refer to Trouble in Paradise.

Here's a roster of how old everyone is if you lost track:

Mako-25

Korra-24

Bolin-23

Asami-25

Dakota-24 (She only has like 2 appearances)

Kandice-20 (She only has like 3 appearances)

Some additional information about this story is that, this story is thirteen chapters, and I don't plan on making it any longer. I have it outlined already.

I think I covered everything that is important. So any questions I'll gladly answer to make your reading experience more enjoyable, but I will not answer any questions about what I have in store in the future. I will usually give you a foreshawdow of what will happen in the next chapter though.

Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Korra or any of its characters.

Mako and Korra have been married for about a year and a half. Their wedding wasn't anything too impressive, mostly just friends and family because Korra didn't want to make the wedding public and neither did Mako. In fact, when Korra was out in public she didn't wear her ring or betrothal necklace so nobody would notice her engagement. They did not want a majority of the people there to be complete strangers so it was just a way to avoid the city's acknowledge of it.

The wedding was in the South Pole, one way to avoid all of the reporters and making the wedding private. Once the wedding was over Mako and Korra got a night alone in a vacant house in the village, but it wasn't exactly sound proof for a loud Avatar. When they arrived back in the city Korra announced her marriage to the city, but it wasn't the most pleasant thing ever.

They were shooting questions at her like crazy wondering why the Avatar kept her engagement a secret for six months and decided to make it public after she was married. That wasn't the end of it; sometimes reporters came over to her and Mako's place and continued shooting questions at her and Mako. Mako had to threaten them multiple times just so they would leave, but that still didn't stop them sometimes.

Thankfully, after about a month it died down, and they could have a somewhat normal life. Mako still worked a lot, and Korra still had meetings, and had to leave for about a month to go to the Fire Nation one time. Even though they both had complex schedule they still somehow made time for each other. Sometimes when Mako had a day off Korra would play hooky so she could be with him. She really didn't care what the city had to say about her actions, she just wanted some alone time with Mako.

Unfortunately, for the both of them, Korra was currently in Omashu to deal with something about the government. She just wanted to get back to Republic City so she could just enjoy her life with Mako. She also wanted to get back to Republic City for another reason.

She was currently kneeling in front of her toilet vomiting into it. She had not been feeling good the past few days and she thought she ate something bad or she was sick. Whichever, she had been puking at least four times a day. Since she was feeling so bad, she didn't bother going anywhere unless it was absolutely necessary. The current day she had to meet the King of Omashu in about an hour.

Once she was done vomiting into the toilet, she flushed it and pressed her back against the wall. She groaned because she was so sick. In addition to vomiting, she had been really emotional, really tired, and sore in various places. If she could, she'd sleep the entire day, but she kept waking up to vomit. For some reason she was easily pissed off and easily broken down in tears. She was also sore, but she just thought it was from having to walk a lot even though she had Naga. What didn't make sense to her was that her breasts were extra sensitive and sore. She didn't know what to call her sickness, but she felt like she was going to die.

She reluctantly stood up, keeping a hand on the wall to help support herself. She very slowly made it into her room and threw herself on it, face down. She knew she needed help, but she didn't want to go to the doctor. She hated doctors, but she knew one person who was similar to a doctor, Pema.

She didn't lift her face from her pillow, but just threw her hand over to her bedside table in an attempt to reach the phone. She couldn't find it though. She groaned as she lifted her head from the pillow to see the phone just out of reach. She wanted to cry because she couldn't reach it, but she suppressed herself from doing it.

She rolled over onto her side so she could reach the phone, but groaned at the movement. She was so sore. She dialed the phone for Pema and just hoped that Pema would answer and not Tenzin. After a few more rings, someone answered.

"Hello? This is Pema speaking."

Korra was relieved when she heard that. "Pema, its Korra. I'm sick. I've been vomiting the past few days so many times a day I lost track, I want to sleep forever and not bother with anything else, my emotions are acting weird, and I'm so sore I don't want to move at all. Can you suggest some medicines that I can go get? I feel like I'm going to die."

There was a long pause before Pema answered again. "Korra, with everything going on with you, I believe you should go to the doctor. There's no medicine that will take care of what's wrong with you. It's best if you go to a doctor."

Korra groaned at the thought of going to the doctor. "Fine, I'll think about it. I have to go now. Gotta go see the King of Omashu. Bye." She hung the phone back on the receiver and sat up against her headboard.

The slight movement hurt so much. She really had to leave to go the palace, but how was she supposed to get there? Naga was a possibility, but the rocking back and forth movement had made her vomit in a barrel the other day. Walking was another possibility, but she was just so sore. She thought for a few moments before choosing.

Naga it is.

"Callan, do you believe it should be taking the Avatar this long to get here? She was supposed to be here a while ago," a representative of Omashu addressed to the mid-aged Earth King.

"She'll probably come bursting through those doors any moment. Don't worry, this meeting will happen." Korra then came through the doors, but not in the best condition. She looked horrible and she was holding her stomach. She slowly walked over to the empty seat while explaining, "I'm sorry I'm late. I was riding my polar bear dog and she went the wrong way."

The four representatives of Omashu plus the Earth King looked at her not believing her story. She looked horrible and sickly.

"Avatar Korra, you don't look too good. We can have this meeting tomorrow if you need a good night's rest. You don't look like you can handle this meeting at the moment."

"It's fine, really. I can discuss this-" she started before covering her mouth with her hand. "Bucket!"

Some strange man that Korra wasn't aware of suddenly came behind her and gave her the bucket. She grabbed it quickly and wrenched the contents of the remainder of food she had left. When she finished up she gave the bucket back to the man who gave it to her.

Korra tried to look over at the Earth King to tell him she just had something bad for lunch, but she couldn't focus her vision. She was seeing cross images and couldn't indentify anyone. Her head hurt so much and suddenly everything blacked out. Before she did black out though she heard the men yell, "Avatar Korra!"

Korra slowly opened her eyes to find an entirely new environment. She saw some white walls and some cabinets with unknown products in them. She adjusted her position so she was sitting up a little more and was able to see more of her environment. A lady in some scrubs entered the room.

"Ah, Avatar Korra, you finally woke up. The Earth King and some other men brought you over here. They said you passed out." She walked over to a small stool and sat on it. She also grabbed a clipboard, mostly likely containing information about Korra.

"Where am I and how long was I out?" Korra was still confused, but guessed she was in a hospital or doctor's office.

"You're in a doctor's office and about three hours. Avatar Korra, I'll need you to answer a few questions for me now. Alright?" Korra gave her a short nod, but it caused a throbbing in her head. "When was the last time you were sick?"

"I'm sick right now. I've been vomiting, emotional, sore, tired, and getting headaches every now and then. I don't know what's wrong with me. My sickness is most likely why I passed out. Can you please just tell me what I got? I feel like I'm going to die."

The nurse didn't look up from her clipboard, but just kept writing down stuff. Korra was wondering what the hell she could've been writing. "Avatar Korra, when was the last time you had a period?"

Korra didn't know what that had to do with anything, but truthfully, she didn't know the answer. Her periods were always irregular and she didn't really keep track of them. "I don't know. My periods have always been irregular and I never really kept track of them."

The nurse wrote down something else before asking a question that Korra was totally against even though it was a nurse. "When was the last time you were sexually active?"

"I don't feel comfortable answering that," Korra admitted. She was never comfortable when she had to have a conversation about sex or her own sex life. It was just a bit awkward even though she had her own experience and had the talk twice in her life.

"Korra, this is essential to this exam. It's just between you, me, and the doctor that will come in her later to check you out."

She sighed before answering, "Probably a bit over two months ago. Right before I came here."

She scribbled down something before standing up. "Alright, Avatar Korra, the doctor will be here in a few moments." The nurse exited while closing the door.

Korra was wondering what all the questions were about. What did her period and her sex life have to do with her sickness? She just hoped that they knew what was wrong with her so she could get back to living. She had another two weeks in Omashu and she did not need to be on bed rest.

Then another person who looked like a doctor came into her room while looking at Korra's clipboard. She also had a small paper bag in her hand.

"Avatar Korra, on your record here, it says you've been really sick lately. I think I have the answer to your problem right here." The doctor showed her the bag and shook it. "Why don't you go to the bathroom across the hall and take it?"

Korra raised an eyebrow wondering why she had to go to the bathroom to take-actually she didn't know what it was. She didn't care though as long as it would make her feel better. The worst it could be would be some stupid pill she would have to take every few hours.

She got off of the bed she was laying on and took the bag. She entered the bathroom and locked the door even though it probably wasn't needed. She placed the bag on the sink and opened it up to see something she wouldn't except to see in a million years.

A pregnancy test

Now those questions the nurse asked earlier made sense. All the symptoms of whatever her sickness could've been symptoms of pregnancy. She could've been pregnant for the past two months and she didn't even know! How stupid could she be? She had the sex talk twice! She knew she couldn't deny being pregnant a possibility because she and Mako did have a steamy night the night before she came to Omashu.

She quickly took the test and waited the tortuous five minute wait. When the five minutes were up she closed her eyes and turned it over. When her eyes caught sight of it, she wanted to cry so badly.

Positive

Next time on Household Headaches: Korra makes an even more surprising possibility. But what really matters is will what will happen when Korra tells Mako?

And by the way, if you have any movie ideas I'd greatly appreciate it if you could comment the idea. It doesn't have to in great detail, and it can be about anything that involves humans. I need ideas for something. (Hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

The real action doesn't happen for another chapter or two.

On to another note, what you think of it? Tell me what you thought. Follow, review, favorite, whatever you wish. I plan on updating Friday since that's my first day off for my Columbus Day weekend. Until then, see you around: )
