Mako was practically running up the stairs to his apartment. He couldn't wait to tell Korra the good news. He had just gotten out of a meeting with the owner of the Pro Bending Arena. He was looking to sell and Mako was his first choice. He couldn't wait to tell Korra.
However, as soon as he walked into the apartment, he was met with loud, tiny screams of a baby. Mako was shocked. He ran to the nursery to see what was wrong. As soon as he opened the door he saw Korra standing there looking utterly exhausted and about to cry. She was pacing the room bouncing the baby in her arms.
"Shh, shh, shh. It's ok. I'm right here." She kept saying to Mya. But the baby only replied with more crying screams. Korra then noticed Mako. She looked up at him with the saddest eyes. They seemed to be pleading with him to help her. Mako was instantly at her side.
"Here let me help you." He said softly as he took the baby from Korra's arms. Almost instantly, the baby stopped crying.
"It's ok little one." Mako cooed. He rocked the baby in his arms for a few minutes until she finally fell asleep. He laid her in her crib.
"All better." He whispered as he turned around expecting to see Korra. But she wasn't in the room.
"Korra?" Mako asked. He walked out of the room and looked around the apartment. She wasn't inside.
'Maybe she's on the balcony' He thought to himself. Sure enough she was up there. She was leaning over the edge looking out into Yue bay. He didn't have to hear her crying to know she was upset.
"Korra what's wrong?" He asked softly as he came up behind her. He wrapped his arms around her and rested his head in the crook of her neck.
"I'm what's wrong, Mako." She said as she wiped her tears.
"What are you talking about?" He asked as he scrunched his brow.
"Didn't you see the way she was screaming? No matter what I did she wouldn't stop. She was like that for almost an hour. Then you took her and she stopped crying instantly."
"Korra" Mako started to say.
"I'm a terrible mother." She interrupted. "What am I doing wrong?"
"Korra, you're a wonderful mother." Mako reassured.
"Then why wouldn't she stop crying?"
"She's a baby. They do things like that sometimes. Trust me Korra; you're a great mother, a great Avatar, and an amazing person. There's nothing wrong with you." Mako replied.
Korra rolled her eyes and started to smirk.
"I love you, you know." She said turning around in his arms. She wrapped her arms around him and looked up at him. He smiled down at her and kissed her softly on the lips.
"I love you too." He said.
Iv'e been having serious writers block. So I don't know whats next. This chapter was hard to get out. But I'm actually kind of proud of it.
Oh and if you haven't noticed, each chapter's title is how old baby Mya is. It's not exact but it's like a moment in her "1rst month", "2nd month", and so on.
Thanks so much for reading. Let me know what you guys think. Criticism welcome. Thank you!
