Korra's parents only stayed for a week, and Korra was glad when they left. She was tired of their disapproving glances and looks every time they passed by each other. She knew they were still angry with her, but they were her parents. They were supposed to love and support her no matter what. They were still going to get into arguments and get mad at each other, but they were always supposed to love each other. Korra just like something didn't make sense, but she just assumed that they had expected more of her since she was the Avatar and all. Didn't everyone?
They all expected her to be great and mighty. She was supposed to be a role-model who did everything right and helped everyone. But she wasn't. Korra, to herself, was a 17 Avatar who went and got herself knocked up and has to put her Air bending training on hold for a long time. She was a disappointment. How could anyone look up to her?
The night before her parents left, Korra sat down with them for one last conversation.
"You still love me right?" Korra asked. When was a little girl, her parents always told her that they would love her no matter what. Now she was starting to wonder if they were just words or if they actually felt them.
"Korra, you knew that this could happen, but you did it anyway. Why?" Korra's mom asked. She still could not figure out why Korra would do something like this. She knew that she and Mako were happy and good together, but she didn't know they were this serious.
"I love him. I really do, and I felt like it was the right time. I knew this was a possibility, but because I love him, I didn't care. Why does it matter if we're going to be there for each other no matter what happens?" Korra responded. This was probably the most confident sentence Korra had said ever since she found out that she was pregnant.
"What are going to do after the baby comes?" Tonraq asked. He needed to know where this baby was going to end up.
"I don't know yet. I would love to keep it, but I'm just not sure yet. I haven't decided."
"We…we have a long trip tomorrow. We should go to bed," Senna spoke up. This conversation was uncomfortable for everyone and she wanted to end it.
"Goodnight," Korra said as her parents left to go to bed. The next day Korra didn't do much. She never left her room except for meals. Korra just stayed in her bedroom crying. She cried for her parents, her baby, the world, and everyone else. She was letting down so many people. What was she going to do now?
