I know this will not make sense what I'm about to say, but this chapter takes place one week after Asami fell unconscious. I know it doesn't make sense, but just read the story it will make sense. Since I haven't gotten many ideas I'm guessing you all like my story. You guys are so sweet. Anyway here is chapter seven. Please read and review. Still don't own it!
Its been a week since Asami fell unconscious. The past seven days were the most critical days . After hours of arguing last week, Korra and On Ji agreed to keep the baby where it was. They didn't want it to be premature, but if Asami's condition grew worse, they would take the baby. Korra made arrangements to stay with Asami so she could heal her if necessary.
It had been a month since Iroh left. He was due back today. Last week his mother sent him a letter telling him of Asami's condition. Everyday since then, Iroh's been very nervous and unfocused. He just wanted to be there by her side, to know that everything would be alright. Today he could see her for what could be the last time. He failed. The first day of their marriage he promised to protect her and their family, but he didn't, he failed.
Asami was still unconscious and her breathing was faint. All Korra and On Ji could do was watch and hope for a miracle. Korra paced the small room nervously, waiting for Iroh to come.
"Korra."
Korra looked up to see On Ji staring at her with sleepy eyes. Since they had been watching Asami for the past week, they barely slept.
"Yes On Ji."
"I'm going to go lay down. I am really tired and can't stay awake any longer."
"That's fine. Iroh should be here any minute anyway."
"Night Korra."
"Night On Ji."
On Ji left leaving the unconscious Princess and the nervous Avatar alone. Korra began pacing the floor once more, but stopped when she heard moaning. Or was it crying? Korra turned to see Asami crying. She still had her eyes closed so Korra thought she was having a nightmare. Korra quickly went to her friends side trying to comfort her. Korra tried to hug her but was pushed away by Asami. Asami then began kicking and screaming. Once again Korra rushed to her friends side trying to comfort her. When Asami didn't quit kicking and screaming, Korra shook her.
"Asami! Asami!"
Asami's eyes flew open. She frantically looked around and then back to Korra before she let out a blood curdling scream.
"Asami what's wrong?"
"My side hurts."
Korra sighed in relief. Since Asami felt a kick, she knew the baby was still alive.
"The baby will kick."
Just then the door opened and in came Iroh. He looked like himself but had a worried look on his face. He looked to his wife and then to Korra.
"I had to wake her up, she was having a nightmare. But can I show you something out there."
Korra gestured towards the door and Iroh followed her out. Once they were in the hallway, Korra made sure she shut the door.
"Now what did you want to show me?"
"Nothing. Its just that I don't want Asami to hear what I'm about to tell you. Asami is not doing very well. She hasn't eaten in days which could really hurt the baby and her. You need to get her to eat as much as possible and keep her up and active. She's been asleep too much. For the next three months we will have to play it by ear, but I'm sure that everything will be fine."
"Okay, I will make sure that she eats and doesn't sleep. Korra thank you for being here for us."
"Its my duty as the avatar and as a friend. But since I've been here for over a week.. and I haven't seen my family..."
"Yes, Korra you may leave but I will send you a letter if I need you come back ."
"Okay. Let me say goodbye to Asami and On Ji before I leave."
Korra walked back into the room where Asami was and hugged her goodbye, telling her she'd see her in the next few months. She then headed to On Ji's room and told her the same thing. Within minutes, Korra was gone, disappearing into the night.
Iroh walked back into Asami's room and sat on a chair by the bed where Asami laid. He took her hand in his and kissed the tops of her fingers. Asami looked at her husband with pleading eyes.
"Iroh."
"Yes Asami?"
"Can I go back to the room with you when you go?"
"If you want, we can go now."
"Will you carry me?"
"Of course."
Another chapter done. Please review so I know if I'm doing this right.
