MAKORRA BABY FIC! SQUEEEEEEEE! Anyway, this is absolutely nothing but fluff. Shameless fluff and I hope you enjoy! Also, this first idea kinda stemmed off of Game of Thrones with Robb and whats-her-name. So that should get credit. Good show. Anyway, yes fanfic, read it!
"Korra," Mako whined from the bedroom window, "this isn't fair."
The Avatar merely rolled her eyes. She continued writing where she was perched on the edge of the mattress.
"This letter's going to my parents. I have to finish it before the post goes out." She said without looking up, "Your needs can wait."
Mako chuckled, removing himself from the window sill. Crawling like a jungle cat across the bed, he gently wrapped his arms around Korra's exposed stomach.
"You sure about that?" he whispered into her neck.
Letting out small gasps as her husband trailed soft kisses across her skin, Korra set the pen and paper aside.
"I mean it," she protested breathlessly, "I need to finish."
"So do I." Mako muttered, earning himself a smack on the forearm.
"C'mon, Korra," he said as she stood up, "we'll be visiting them in a few weeks. What's so important that you can't wait to tell her?"
Her smile faltered and her eyes became weary. With a heavy sigh, she turned away from him. Surprised by the sudden change, Mako rose to his feet and approached his wife with caution.
"Korra, what's wrong?" his voice was timid.
She didn't answer as he stepped in front of her. The Avatar's expression was unreadable. Placing his thumb beneath her chin, Mako slowly lifted her head, forcing her gaze to find his. After a moment of silence, Korra finally spoke.
"I just figured they'd want to be the first to know about their grandchild." she murmured.
The firebender stared at her in disbelief. Had he heard her correctly? Their grandchild? Her baby? His baby?
"Our baby?" he said in a quiet gasp.
Tears weld up in Korra's eyes. All she could manage was a simple nod. When he became silent again, fear flooded her mind.
"Are you angry?" she asked as tears began to freely flow down her face.
Mako furrowed his brows.
"Angry?" he laughed, "How could I be angry?"
Taking her in his arms, he started twirling his wife in a circle, laughing as his own eyes began to water. Korra was so relived she could have collapsed at that very moment, but she was far too happy. She laughed along with him as their bedroom swirled in her vision. Eventually he set her back on her feet.
"I love you." he said with such conviction, as if it were his first time putting the words together, "Do you hear me? I love you, Avatar Korra."
"I love you too, Mr. Detective." She said wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.
"So," he chuckled, returning the favor, "how about that letter?"
Suddenly feeling far more turbulent that she had a moment ago, the waterbender smiled as she gently bit his bottom lip.
"It can wait" she whispered, granting him permission to throw her back onto the bed, squealing as he climbed on top of her.
