I do not own the Legend of Korra.
XXXXXXX
Korra's head was on Mako's lap, her eyes closed, listening to the sounds of the children playing, and birds chirping, never really meaning to fall asleep.
"Dad, Mom, I am so glad you could make it!" Korra cried, racing towards her parents, who just arrived to Republic City. Her parents greeted her with hugs and smiles and looked at her.
"Of course we made it, it's your wedding, and we wouldn't miss it for the world!" Her father told her. Korra smiled at him before hugging him again.
"I missed you." She told them.
"We missed you, too, now where is my future son-in-law? Is he hiding from me because of what happened last time?" Tonraq asked. Korra laughed, remembering the memory when her father blew up in Mako's face because Mako was supposedly doing something inappropriate with his baby girl.
"He should be in the apartment dad, getting the room set up." She told them, leading the inside. Once they got to the apartment, Korra opened the door, only to hear the grunts of Mako in the guest bedroom. Korra smiled and walked toward the bedroom with her parents behind her.
When she got to the opened door, she cleared her throat.
Mako looked up to see his future bride. He smiled and gestured to the broken dresser. Korra sighed, forgetting about her parents and went to help him fix the leg on the dresser.
"So this place isn't ready yet?" Tonraq asked. Senna hit him playfully and gave him a stern look.
"Tonraq, please, they are rebuilding this room after the little mishap a month ago, and they probably hadn't even thought of it." Senna told him. Korra gave a nervous laugh after the memory of her thinking that she was pregnant and Mako and she got the room prepared for it, but after a trip to the doctor, they found out that they were not expecting.
"Yeah, sorry about that," Mako apologized looking up from the dresser. Tonraq gave him a look and laughed.
"Just don't give a scare like that again, or else I will waterbend you to the middle of the icy ocean!" Tonraq warned. Mako nodded and went back to work on the dresser. Korra gave her father 'the look' before returning back to the leg of the dresser.
~Awesome time skip because I feel like it~
Korra looked at herself in the mirror; her hair was gently curled at the ends and stopped at her shoulders. Her make-up was barely visible (much to her pleasure) but she could still pinpoint the light lipstick on her lips. Her dress was formfitting and it was a magnificent royal blue color with small flower designs in a lighter blue. Placed in the back of her head was a purple lily. It was medium size and it had sparkles dancing on it. Her feet were bare, much to her mother's dismay, but she agreed with it.
She smiled at her reflection, it was her wedding day, and she was marrying Mako, the love of her life. Asami walked in, holding a bouquet of red roses and blue violets. She handed one bouquet to Korra and kept the other one.
"How are you?" She asked. Korra sighed and smiled.
"Excited, nervous, is this how you felt on your wedding day?" She asked. Asami nodded.
"Yes! I was so nervous!" Asami exclaimed as Ikki and Jinora came.
"Oo, I can't believe that your wedding day has arrived, Korra! Oh my Spirits, I was always on team MaKorra, no offense Asami, but I just really like Mako and Korra together. Jinora was on team MaKorra as well!" Ikki rambled a mile a minute. Jinora rolled her eyes and glared at her little sister.
Ikki and Jinora wore identical ankle-length dark blue dresses with a lighter blue bow in the back. They didn't wear any shoes on their feet, deciding they wouldn't, much to everyone's surprise. The two girls' also had a blue lily in their hair that was at their ears.
Their hair was down for once, showing off their long hair. Korra smiled at the two girls. It seemed like only yesterday that they were giving her love advice, and now she was getting married to the one guy that she loved.
"Okay you two; let's make final touches, just in case anything seems out of place." Asami said. Asami wore a long red dress that seemed to flow. Red flowers danced along her dress. In her long wavy hair was a red lily was in her hair. She, like the other girls' was barefoot. She didn't mind, nope she was actually pretty happy to be going out barefoot.
Asami smiled at Korra and made her turn around. "Okay, Korra, tell me again why you are getting married in front of a tree?" Asami asked. Korra laughed and moved a strand of hair from her eye.
"Because, it's a special tree; I don't know if you know this, but Mako and I fell asleep under that tree when we were searching for Bolin all those years ago." Korra explained.
"Oh, so it's just Mako's and Korra's place?" She asked, fixing her hair.
"Yes, it's special even after all of these years." Korra said, grabbing hold of her betrothal necklace. Ikki and Jinora soon came back into the room with Tonraq. He smiled at his daughter, and Korra could've sworn that she saw him wipe away a tear.
"Come on, Korra, it's time." Tonraq told his daughter. She smiled and nodded. She went over to her father and grabbed hold of his upper arm. She beamed, never losing her smile.
"Hi, Dad" she smiled. He smiled back and laughed.
"Hi, Korra," he said back.
"Nice weather we are having" she told him, walking into the afternoon sun.
"I wish it wasn't so hot" he complained. She smiled as she continued to walk to the tree. Once they all got there, Korra could make out the faint shapes of her Mako. She felt like she had butterflies in her stomach. She inhaled deeply and exhaled.
"Come on, Korra, we are almost up." Her father told her. She smiled and took another deep breath and looked ahead. This was it; this was going to lead her to her future.
Her father starts moving and she follows. She glows with every step she takes and Mako notices. She was like starlight, shining brightly, brighter than the sun if that was even possible. She was breathtaking. When she reaches him, Tonraq gives her a kiss on her cheek before passing her to Mako. She smiles at him, and then turns her attention to Mako.
"Hey," he whispers. "You look beautiful." I smile at him.
"Thank you and you look quite handsome as well."
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today, to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony." Tenzin spoke. Korra looked at Mako, smiling brightly at him.
"Now, before I begin is there anyone who objects to this marriage?" Tenzin waited for a few seconds to give anyone a chance before continuing.
"Alright, now do you Mako, take Korra to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, till death do you part."
"I do," Mako smiled putting on a small silver band. Korra beamed, showing her pearly whites.
"And do you, Korra, take Mako as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, till death do you part."
"I do," Korra responded slipping the matching and bigger silver band on Mako's finger.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride." Tenzin told them. Mako smiled and grabbed Korra, and dipping her. He put his lips against her, his tongue wanting an entrance. Korra felt this and let him in and it was a battle for dominance. Korra of course won. Mako then swept her back up and kissed her lovingly on the cheek.
"Hello, Mrs. Hat Trick." Mako whispered in her ear.
"Hello Mr. Hat Trick." She greeted back. Korra and Mako then walked back down the aisle as husband and wife.
Korra smiled fondly at the memory, but more was to come.
"Mako, help me!" Korra yelled, wrestling her newborn. She was trying to change her diaper, but her baby wasn't being very corporative today.
"What do you need?" Mako asked, coming into his daughter's room to see his wife trying to get a diaper on their daughter.
"She won't let me get the diaper on her!" Korra complained, obviously tired. Mako sighed and walked over to her and moved her aside where he saw his daughter laugh. He smiled back and easily put the diaper on her.
"There you go, Korra." He told her. Korra frowned and sat down in the rocking chair.
"Its official she hates me, she only listens to you and will do what you want her to do!" Korra complained, resting her head on her heads. "Am I really such a horrible mother?" She asked.
"No, Korra, that's nonsense, you are a great mother!" Mako comforted.
"Try telling that to her!" Korra practically shouted. She took a deep breath and got up from the rocking chair and went out of the room.
"Korra, don't run away again!" Mako called, "your daughter needs you!"
"No she doesn't, and I am not running away! I just need to clear my head!" He heard the front door open and then slam shut. He grabbed his daughter from off of the changing table and held her.
"You shouldn't get Mommy mad, she's the Avatar, and is pretty scary when she is mad." Mako shuddered.
Korra walked the streets of Republic City, not really watching were she was going. Her mind was clouded with thoughts of her own daughter hating her. She frowned, Hat Trick Junior was not supposed to hate her mother. Maybe that's how her parent felt when she would pick favorites between the two, always switching.
Korra took in a deep breath and bumped in to someone or something. She looked up and saw Shady Shin with the rest of the Triple Triads.
"Well, look what we have here, boys, Momma Avatar walking all alone, say Avatar what are you doing out here? Where is your family?" He asked. Korra scowled and looked away. He grabbed her face and forced her to look at him. "Come on, tell me."
"Why should I tell you?" She spat narrowing her eyes at him, wishing Naga was not on the island.
"Well, well, well, the Avatar has a nasty temper…well we know what to do with you." Shady Shin told her. Korra looked at him. She didn't like this, she needed to get home.
Korra took a deep breath and lifted her foot. She then placed it down firmly, causing a large piece of rock to come up. She shifted her foot, aiming it at Shin, it then went violently into his face, making him let go of Korra's face.
She ran; she knew it wasn't in her nature to run from a fight, but she didn't want to fight, not when she had a family. She ran faster and faster all the way to the apartment until, finally, she was home, she was outside of her front door. She sank to the floor and buried her head into her head and began to cry.
She hated the hot salty tears streaming down her face, she hated them, and she wished they would just go away. Her head snapped to attention when she heard the front door click and open. She quickly wiped away the tears and look up to see Mako.
"Even after all of the years, you still hate it when people see you cry." He told her. She scowled at him and crossed her arms.
"I wasn't crying, I was thinking." She told him, her pride getting in her way again. He sighed and wrapped his arms around her.
"Come on, Kor, don't lie, I know when you are lying." He tells her. She scowled again and turned her head away from him.
"And so what if I was crying." She told him, "and plus, I'm the Avatar, Avatar's don't cry!"
"Avatar Aang cried and Avatar Roku." He told her, "I thought you would've known they cried, since they are your past lives!"
"Shush, I bet Kyoshi didn't cry!" She told him.
"I bet she did, now come on, Korra tell me what happened." He told her. She sighed in defeat and looked at him.
"I may or may have not run into the Triple Triads." She told him.
"Did you or did you not?" He asked eagerly. She sighed once again.
"Maybe," she told him, not looking at him.
"Korra, are you okay? What did they do? Are you hurt?" Mako asked eagerly, wanting to know.
"Oh, I think Ardea needs a bath; let me go give her one" Korra told him avoiding the questions.
"Korra, tell me!" Mako urged.
"I'm fine okay! Now Ardea needs a bath" Korra told him.
"I just wanted to know if you were okay, Korra!" Mako tells her. She huffed.
"I can take care of myself, Mako I'm the-"
"Yes, yes, Korra, you're the Avatar you can take care of yourself, we been through this, but sometimes the Avatar needs a little help once in a while!" He yells.
"I am perfectly capable of saving myself in situations! I don't need a bodyguard I can handle it!" She yells back.
"Oh, look at me, I am Korra and I am the Avatar and I can help myself!" Mako mocked. Korra gave him a death glare and inhaled sharply.
"Mako…"
"Yes?"
"You're on the couch tonight" she told him, before going into Ardea's room. Mako sighed; sometimes he could be so stupid.
"And by the way, that was poor mimicking; instead it's more like this: I am Mako, I am so hotheaded and my wife and I butt heads so much, but in the end she is beautiful and strong, and I love her, and she is always right!" Korra tells him through the door.
He sighs and gets the couch ready.
Korra smiled at the memory, but as her memories soon came to a close, she was surprised to see one more. But it wasn't a memory; it was like she was seeing the future or something.
"Mizuki, come back here!" Someone yelled at a little girl with long chocolate brown hair and dark skin. She was running through the snow, her feet shuffling in it.
"But I don't want to!" She pouted, crossing her arms. She revealed electrifying blue eyes, that were round and filled with curiosity.
"Come on, Kiki, dinner is ready and we still have to wash up!" Another girl said who looked a lot like Ardea. The little girl looked up and nodded, grabbing hold of the other girl's hand. The younger girl smiled at her, as the older one smiled back.
"Girls, let's go!" A man yelled.
"Coming, Dad, come on, Kiki, I'll race you!" The older one said. The younger smiled and nodded, immediately taking off, as the older one followed slowly behind her, obviously letting her win. "Aw, you beat me again, Kiki!"
The younger girl giggled and hugged the older girl.
"I love you, sissy!" The younger one told her.
"I love you, too, Kiki."
Korra woke up to being shook gently. Korra opened her eyes to see her loving daughter, Ardea.
"Mommy, come on, Uncle Bolin and Auntie Asami invited us over for dinner at their place!" Ardea told her. Korra rubbed her eyes and sat up.
"Alright, then let's go!" Korra told her daughter, trying to get up. Mako laughed and got up with ease and stuck out his hand.
"Here, let me help you." He told her. She laughed and took it and got up. She then took Ardea's hand and Mako took her other hand, and they began walking.
XXXXXXXXX

Okay, I will not be updating for a while because I have my final year of Middle School coming up and I need to do well and not slack off, meaning to updates because to my parents, writing fanfics are considered slacking, so I might be updating on the weekends or on breaks for now on, it depends on how much homework I get swamped with…seriously US History and Pre-Algebra are the two classes that will probably swamp me with homework.
