It Wasn't A Mistake
Korra walked Naga late at night after waking up from her little 'nap'. As she walked around the park she heard soft sobs coming from a nearby bench. Curiously she walked over to the person sobbing. As she got closer, her pace began to slow until she realized who it was.
"A-Asami?"
Asami quickly wiped her tears away and tried to hide her pain, while she slowly lifted her head to look up at Korra with a forced smile.
"Hey, Korra...what are you doing out so late?"
Korra stared at her for a moment before replying, "I'm walking Naga. Why are you out so late? And what's with the, umm… tears?" Smooth, Korra, smooth…, she thought to herself.
Asami sighed and shook her head while biting her lower lip. She thought about whether to tell the truth or just lie.
"C-can I-", she clears her throat, "Can I trust you?"
Korra raised her eyebrow and sat next to Asami, "Of course you can." she reassured her.
Asami took a breath and turned her body steadily to Korra, after a moment she finally began to speak. "Me and Ma- Mako... I…. we..., he broke up with me. And I know you're probably thinking ,things will get better, but i'm not worried about that." she paused. "it's...it's something much bigger."
Korra cautiously asks, "Then, what's bothering you?"
"He- I...I'm pregnant, with his k-kid… and he just left me after I told him..." More tears started to form in her emerald eyes.
"W-what?" Korra drawled, with her sapphire eyes wide open, "Are you sure?"
Asami nodded, her eyes focused on the tedious ground beneath her, "I don't know what to tell my dad. He's more than likely to kick me out, you know? Since I'm the future CEO of Future Industries." she chuckled bitterly. "I just had to let my hormones take over…"
Korra struggled to suppress a giggle as she heard the last sentence. A confused Asami turned at the sound of Korra's stifled giggles with a raised eyebrow. After a few more moments Korra's stifled giggles had finally died down.
"Hehe...Sorry. It's just that last sentence caught me off guard." Heat rose to her cheeks; looking around nervously, Way the go, Korra… "Are you gonna keep it?"
Asami gave a small smile and answered, "Stupidly, yes. I know this could probably ruin my life but, it's my soon to be kid. I don't want my first child to be dead, or living with someone else."
The grin Korra gave Asami was calming, "I think that is a great idea! But there's another thing." Asami gave her the signal to go on, "Mako? I know he messed up, like big time, but it's gonna be hard to be best friends with Bolin."
"I'd like to keep him close, you know? Just in case he or she wants to meet him or something along those lines." she gave a small shrug.
Korra nodded in understanding, she glimpsed at her wrist watch and sighed, "I should head back now. Don't stress about anything, I'll help you through it."
"I thought you hated me?"
"Me? I mean, I tried hating you but it's impossible, you're kind, pretty, smart, and a bunch of other amazing things. That's probably why Mako liked you so much. Even if you're," Korra looked around, "Carrying a package, you're still you."
Asami chuckled at Korra's goofiness and smiled, "Thank you, I really needed that, and honestly you are quite amazing yourself. Now give me your phone." she demanded.
Korra suspiciously pulled out her phone from her pocket, and handed it over. Asami quickly punched in her number and gave it back.
"Here. If you ever need anything, just text or call me."
"Thanks, now you give me your phone."
Asami handed her, her phone. Korra typed in her number and took some quick selfies, before getting caught.
"Korra! Are you seriously taking selfies right now?!" Asami said laughing at the scene.
"Send me those. Here ya go, you can also text or call me. I'll see ya later, Goodnight Baby Mama." Korra smirked.
"Korraaa!" Asami whined with a smile, "I'm gonna get you back, just watch."
Korra had asked her 4th period teacher if she could go to the 'restroom' in effort to look for Mako, she couldn't wait any longer. She needed to talk to him, about what had happened the day prior with Asami. The hallways were desolated due to the classes going on. You could listen to the howls that could be heard outside.
The football team of course!... she thought. Her footsteps picked up as she went running to the field. The coach's whistle blared and the players shouted break. Mako was instantly spotted as he, and the football team walked to the benches.
"Mako! MAAKOOOO! Oh my spirits, MAKO TURN THE HELL AROUND!" she roared.
Mako finally heard Korra calling his name, and ran over to her. His face was dripping with sweat, and you could tell that his uniform was soaking wet. He came to a stop and whipped his forehead.
"Hey, what's up?"
Korra cocked an eyebrow and stated, "Asami."
Mako not having a clue looked at her with a confused expression.
"What about her?"
"The Package."
"What are you talking about?!"
Korra stared at Mako trying to calm her nerves, she notices he still has his scarf on him. She pulls him closer and whispers, "The baby…"
Mako's amber eyes widened, "Sh-She told you? Look i-it was a mistake. I never meant for her to get pregnant, in fact I was already planning to break up with her…"
"So she was a hit and run for you?!"
"No! Of course not! I wasn't planning to do 'the do' with her! It just happened and we- I didn't stop it. Look, I know I should've probably stayed with her but I'm not ready for kids. I can barely take care of Bolin and myself, plus I wasn't planning on having kids until I graduated college. Obviously, that didn't go as planned."
"I'm really irritated but I can understand where you're coming from. You're not forgiven you will be eventually, now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to class, it's been 15 minutes." Korra walked off in a fast pace almost running back to her class. When she got to the door she slowly opened it, and was met by a nasty glare from her teacher.
"Sorry, I fell asleep in there again…"
It was now lunch break, Korra walked out of her history class half asleep. World History was never Korra's favorite, she felt like she already knew the material and found it useless to learn about it again.
-buzz buzz-
Korra felt her phone vibrate and pulled out her phone. She grinned as she saw who it was.
Asami: You walk so slow!
Korra turned around only to see everyone except Asami.
Korra: Jeez, can't do anything without the Baby Mama stalking u. XP
Asami: OMS, Ur still with that? lol
(A.N. - OMS=oh my spirits)
Korra: Yes, but don't worry I'll only do this when we're alone. ;)
Asami: That winky face is very misleading. lol
Korra: haha where r u?
Behind Korra, Asami slowly walked behind her, and jumped on Korra's back, causing Korra to flinch.
"ONWARD!"
Listening to Asami's order she ran with her, on her back. They were both having fun and laughing. Korra stared to get tired of running and started to walk.
"I think the package is making you heavier." Korra was rewarded with a playful slap on her shoulder.
"Shut up, hahaha," Asami jumped off of Korra's back. "That was fun! I'm kinda hungry with all that hard work."
Korra scoffed, "Hard work? I was the one doing the hard work."
Asami laughed, "Yeah but holding on is a lot of work. We should go off campus for to eat."
"Can we go to Narook's? Best Water Tribe Cuisine in Republic City."
"Okay, just tell me the directions."
-2 Months Later-
"Korra can you get me another bowl?" Asami asked.
"Aight," Korra got up from the table and ordered another bowl. She went back to sit down on the booth. She was watching Asami eat her noodles.
"Hey, Baby Mama, have you told Hiroshi yet? Cause not being rude or anything but your kinda getting there. Before it was all flat but now there's like a lowkey bump."
Asami shook her head due to her eating her noodles. After she swallowed she spoke, "I haven't, yet. I plan on telling him when it gets more noticeable."
The waiter came and gave Asami the other bowl Korra had just ordered. Asami quickly thanked him and started to dig in.
"Your welcome, Savage 'Sami."
After lunch Asami drove Korra home as she pulled up to the driveway, Asami took a breath and looked to Korra.
"Hey i just wanted to say… thanks, you know for sticking with me and helping me the past couple of months...I really appreciate it."
Korra raises a brow and smiles, "Are the hormones making you go all soft on me?"
Asami playfully punches Korra's arm.
"Ow, well that wasn't very soft," Korra laughed.
"Shut up and get out of my car," Asami chuckled.
Korra got out of the vehicle, she paused before closing the car door. "You're welcome." she said closing the door and walking towards her house.
Asami rolled down the passenger seat's window, "See you tomorrow, Korra." She pulled out of the driveway waving at Korra, before finally driving off.
