Nerves. That's all Korra could feel. She was a bundle of nerves and was pacing the apartment back and forth. After finding out there were a few other pregnant avatar's Korra had calmed down a little bit. But now it was time to tell Mako.
He was finishing practice down stairs and was on his way up to have a special dinner with Korra, which she had planned. She was going to tell him over dinner, hoping that by feeding him his favorite food, he would be a little calmer when she broke the news to him.
However, upon hearing the door open, Korra turned to see Mako walking in. As he walked in wiping sweat off his brow, he looked up and smiled. The sight of him standing there looking so at peace made Korra weak in the knees and she just couldn't keep it from him anymore.
"I'm Pregnant." She blurted out.
Mako's smiling face changed to one of utter shock. "What?"
"I'm pregnant." Korra whispered looking down. "Mako, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to –
Before Korra could finish her sentence she was lifted in the air and was spinning around.
"Mako what are you doing?" Korra said laughing. Mako finally put her down and started kissing her all over her face. Korra continued to laugh
"Mak- Mako stop!" She said through her laughs. He finally stopped and looked down at her smiling with his arms wrapped around her waist.
"Korra." He whispered.
"You're not mad?" She asked looking up at him.
"Mad? How could I be mad? I mean it's unexpected sure, but this… just wow."
"But aren't you scared?" Korra asked "I'm scared! What if I'm a terrible mother because I'm too busy being the Avatar?"
"Sure I'm scared, but I'm excited too. I'm not going to let the nerves ruin that, and you shouldn't either. You'll be a wonderful mother Korra."
"What are you scared of?" Korra asked.
"Well…" Mako said looking down at the Avatar in his arms. "I'm scared of the possibility that something could happen to us." Korra looked at him confused.
"I don't want to… "Mako sighed looking for the right words. "I don't want the kid to become an orphan."
Korra's eyes softened. She hadn't thought about that. Of course Mako would be worried about something like that. She started feeling guilty. Her fears were silly compared to Mako's.
"Mako," she whispered. "We have so many people that would take care of the baby. You don't have to worry." Mako smiled at Korra and held her a little closer.
"I know you'll be a great father. You raised Bolin so well." Mako leaned down a kissed Korra softly.
"And you'll make a great mother." He said softly. Korra smiled at him and they shared a long passionate kiss.
Hope you liked! Oh and just in case you havn't already noticed. The title of each chapter is how far along in the prenency Korra is. I was debating if I should post the chapter titles at the top of the text but I think I'll just leave things the way they are. Thanks for reading!
