Lin woke up to bright lights and the smell of antiseptic. She opened her eyes and looked around, "I'm in the hospital." Lin panicked, "The baby!" She put a hand on her belly and felt a stir inside, the baby was still there. She heard footsteps and the door opened and Pema walked in, "Lin?" she asked softly, "How are you doing?" Lin frowned, "Oh I'm all bubblegum and rainbows," she said sarcastically. Pema sat down, "No, really, how are you?" Lin rubbed her forehead, "I don't even know myself. How's Bumi?" Pema took a sip of coffee, "He was treated for a few bumps and bruises," she said, "Tenzin didn't do too much damage." Lin's eyebrow rose, "So where is baldy now? He flipped his shit and ran out." Pema shook her head, "I have no idea, I left the kids with the Acolytes and Korra and Kya are on their way. Lin sighed, "They know already?" Pema hesitated and nodded, "Kya knew by just looking at you, and Korra asked me to find out."
The door opened again and Bumi hobbled in on a crutch. He looked at Lin and approached her as fast as he could, "Lin!" he cried, hugging her. Lin hugged him back, "Don't worry, the baby's fine." Bumi breathed a sigh of relief and took a seat next to Pema, "I don't know what had gotten into Tenzin," he said gravely, "I'm not sure if it was Lin's pregnancy, or us not telling him that made him mad." Lin sighed and took the cup of water next to her and drank from it, "Whatever it is, we ruined our relationships with him."
Tenzin was so angry he couldn't even fly his bison straight. He packed a few things, said goodbye to his children, and was already flying over the ocean. As an airbender, avoiding hostilities is a first nature. But he had lost complete control of himself; he needed to get away before making things even worse. "Agh!" he yelled at himself. Oogi groaned in protest and turned his head. His brown eyes looked into Tenzin's grey ones, concerned. "Oh Oogi," Tenzin sighed, "I don't know what to do! All I could do is run!" Oogi groaned again. Tenzin calmed himself down, "We'll be there soon buddy," he told the bison assuredly;
"At the Southern Air Temple."
Korra drove herself and Kya to the hospital. Asami made it a goal to teach Korra how to drive after the war, and even though she still thought 'red' meant speed up, she held her own. Kya gripped the handle until her knuckles turned white. "Let me guess," Korra said, "It's your first time in a Satomobile." Kya nodded and spoke quietly, "I don't believe in modern transportation. I prefer my sled made out of lavender and lemongrass!" Korra chuckled amongst the tension, "Then you're going to have a bad time in Republic City. But we need to concentrate on Lin now." Kya nodded and took out a plastic bag with a strange plant in it. Korra slams on the breaks, "I-Is that weed?" she stammers. Kya laughs, "No silly! It's peppermint! I wanted to give Lin a special brew for the baby!" Korra grumbled, "You can't bring that into the hospital! They'll arrest you!" Kya wiggled a finger at Korra, 'I'll just say I'm the Avatar's daughter like I used to do when I was younger!" Korra rubbed her forehead, "You do realize that I'm the new Avatar and that no one is going to believe a 17 year old is your dad!" Kya pouted, "At least I tried!"
"Ugh," Lin groaned as she tried to eat the hospital's food, "How does someone eat this crap?" Pema laughed, "It better than stuffing it down your stomach through a tube!" Lin grimaced and took a sip of water, "So when can I get out of this place?"
"Tonight, if the doctor clears you."
Lin sighed and reached for a magazine, but before she could Korra and Kya burst in. Kya rushed to Lin's side, "Are you alright?" she took out her baggie of herbs, "Do you want some?" Lin gave her an incredulous look, "I'm pregnant! I can't smoke weed!" Kya whines, "Why does everyone say that?" Korra rolled her eyes, "Because weed is the source of life!" she said sarcastically. Korra continued, "We heard about Tenzin, he came back to the island but he didn't want to speak to us, he only spoke to the kids." Pema frowned, "He's really upset."
Lin threw a pillow at Bumi, who was sound asleep in the corner, "Huh-wha-?" he looked around quickly. Lin got right to the chase, "Tenzin's gone."
Bumi scoffed, "After what he did, that's the smartest thing he's done in the past two days." Kya clapped her hands, "I know what will cheer everyone up! It's a very calming song I learned in a far off country!" The rest of the group looked at each other nervously before nodding. Kya took a deep breath and started to sing;
"Huaahh!" Kya growled. Lin, Bumi and Pema were confused at what she was doing and watched expectantly. But Korra knew exactly what she was trying to do, "Heh, Maybach time!"
"My bitch bad looking like a bad of money!" Kya rapped. Korra joined in, "Oooohoooooo!" Kya smiled and continued, "I go and get it and I let her count it for me!"
"Ooo yeah!"
"I fuck her good and I let her ride it for me!"
"Yeeeeeaahhhh!"
Korra and Kya join together for the next line;
"My bitch bad looking like a bag of money! Huahh!"
"She bad bad bad! She bad bad bad!"
Lin stammered, "What the hell is this?" Bumi started dancing, "I don't know, but I like it!" Pema started laughing hysterically and Kya stopped, "You don't like it?" Pema responded, "It's hilarious!" Kya's eyes narrowed and she whispered in Korra's ear. Korra nodded and cleared her throat. "POOF!" she yelled.
"There go the car!" Kya joined in.
"POOF!"
"There go the crib!"
"POOF!"
"A hundred mil!"
"Woop! David Copperfield! David Copperfield! David Copperfield!" Korra and Kya rapped together.
Lin watched Bumi and Pema dance to whatever this 'music' was and sighed, "Mom," she thought to herself, "I know you would love this…music." She laughed along with the others.
I was listening to Rick Ross when I was writing this and there weren't enough words in this chapter, so I added a song scene XD. Thanks for reading!
