10. extra dose

"What bothers me the most is that they didn't even tell us that they wanted to know who Mako was," Korra said in the kitchen. She was sitting by the table, her feet on the next chair. Asami poured herself a glass of wine. "I wouldn't mind!"

"You wouldn't?" Asami asked skeptically.

"I mean, there's no harm in it. Besides being the donor, he's our friend and he'd meet the kids anyway eventually. I just wanted to know from them that they were curious about him."

"I don't like this at all," Asami said. She needed all her self-control not to drink that wine in one go. "Don't you feel betrayed? Like our kids don't think we're enough?"

Korra frowned and thought about it before she shook her head.

"No, I don't," she said and Asami scoffed as she filled her glass again, even if it wasn't completely empty yet. "We knew that was a possibility when we decided to have them! And we know what all the drama of not even knowing who their fathers were did with the Beifongs."

"You are not comparing our kids to Lin and Su!" Asami protested and Korra took a deep breath. "And we are not Toph!"

"Exactly," Korra pointed out. "That's why we gave them the option to know who he is."

Asami scoffed and drank more of her wine, so Korra got up and closer to her.

"What's bothering you, babe?" she asked taking the wine bottle and putting it on the table. "Talk to me."

She rubbed Asami's arm warmly, who sighed leaning close to Korra.

"I wanted us to be together when they met him," she confessed. "I didn't want for their first encounter to be without us."

"So we could make sure Mako wouldn't fuck it up?" Korra joked and Asami laughed.

"Basically, yeah," she finished her wine and then frowned at how far the bottle was from her.

"We still can do it," Korra proposed. "Have control of their interactions with him and all. I mean, if the kids still want to keep seeing him."

"You think they wouldn't?" Asami wondered and Korra shrugged.

"Major didn't look so happy about him, so…"

The two women considered the option for a moment and then Asami sighed.

"Whatever, I guess. Let's bring him for a barbecue."

Korra smiled.

"I'll gather the kids to settle it."

As soon as Korra left the room, Asami got the wine bottle again. Those two months were going to be long.
