-.-
Rohan wails.
Korra cringes, her eyes shut tight, hands over her ears and mouth clenched. It's too loud, much too loud and she can't take much more of this. She can't. She peeks one eye open to see Mako with the same grimace plastered on his face.
"When is it going to stop?" she asks and Mako stands there, Rohan hanging out a good length in his arms, his face utterly terrified.
"I don't know!" he says.
Korra dashes to him and takes the baby from Mako and Rohan keeps crying, tears running down his red face; he doesn't even seem to notice the change of persons. Korra heaves him onto her shoulder, rubbing his back gently in small circles, the way she'd seen Pema done before.
"Shhh, shhh... It's okay." She says; her voice gentle and sweet but her face staring at Mako, begging for him to do something but he shrugs his shoulders. Korra makes a quick sharp point to the kitchen and holds her hand in front of her mouth like one would hold a bottle. Mako rushes into the kitchen and Korra sighs, bouncing Rohan up and down as she turns in place.
A few minutes later, Mako comes in with a bottle.
"Here." She says, handing Rohan to him. Mako scoops up the small baby boy in his arm and holds the bottle in front of his face. It only takes him a second to grab onto it, and the crying it stopped.
"Wheeeu." Korra sighs, flopping on the couch. "I thought I would never stop."
"Remind me again why we volunteered for babysitting?" she asks, look at Mako upside-down over the couch.
"Uh, good practice?" he says, a cheeky smile on his face.
"You wish." She grins, closing her eyes.
A few moments pass before she opens them, and when she does she see Mako standing over her, bottle in hand, Rohan limp and quiet in his arms. She turns over in the couch, looking up at them.
"Is he asleep?" she asks.
Mako looks down at the baby and a gentle smile comes across his face.
"Yeah, I think so."
:Fin:
