Korra's POV

A year passed fairly quickly. We didn't get to the finals the year I was injured but the year after we won first place in at least three different leagues, breaking records for RCHS. Mako and I were awarded MVP awards and I received a lot of media attention due to me being the first female to be in a football team, not to mention the first to lead the team to an undefeated record in over thirty years.

Mako, Asami and I graduated right on time. My parents threw this big graduation party for all of us at our place. I didn't really have a lot of friends but I did invite the whole football team and stuff. Asami just took her boyfriend, Iroh, and Mako brought over Toza and Bolin, who would hopefully be graduating the year after.

One thing I remember clearly as if it was yesterday, was the day that my parents threw me a birthday party. My boyfriend had taken me out all day and when we arrived home, he placed his hands on my face, covering my eyes. I raised a brow at this and he chuckled.

"It's a surprise," he said.

I sighed and let him guide me inside. When he opened the door he pulled his hands away and my mouth slightly dropped. The entire place was decorated with balloons, and all sorts of decoration.

"Happy Birthday!" everyone yelled.

Senna's POV

I could tell my little was surprised by the look she had on her face. Mako had known about the surprise birthday party my husband and I had wanted to throw her, so he helped by keeping her away most of the day. She walked in to find all her friends and family gathered around to say Happy Birthday to her. She looked over to me and gave me a confused look. I frowned, knowing what she was thinking. Asami had explained this to me before.

"Today isn't my birthday," Korra said slowly. "It's September 24."

My husband and I shook our heads after sharing a look. It made sense that Noatak would change her birthday to make it harder to locate her, though he did keep her name. "No, your birthday is today," I told her gently. "You were born on Christmas Eve."

Our baby girl gave me a confused look before slowly nodding. I knew it would be a hard change for her, but I had waited nearly eighteen years to celebrate her birthday.

"Come here, kiddo," my husband called wrapping an arm around her. "See those boxes. Those are all our gifts."
Her mouth dropped before looking at the both of us. "Those are a lot of gifts."

My expression slightly saddened. "It's a gift for every year," I whispered.

Korra smiled and went over to hug me. She took a box and sat on the floor before opening it. It was a baby toy, a train that lit up and played a lullaby. I saw her smile broaden at this before taking another, and then another. Her face lit up every time she opened a gift. I noticed that everyone, me included was just completely focused on her. It was as if she was a child opening their Christmas gift.

Finally she opened the last one and I saw her father smile at that. I chuckled. We had both picked out the gift as usual, but it had been his idea this time. He had a jersey designed from the team he used to play for, putting their number on the back and our daughter's name. Korra's face lit up when she took the jersey out of the box.

"Mom! Dad! This is awesome!" she cried looking over at us. We smiled and she got up, running over to us and hugging us. Tonraq and I held her close to us. "I've never had a birthday party before," our daughter added. "I mean Katara, Asami and Mako would take me out, and I appreciate it. But this is great!"

I placed a hand against her cheek. "I'm glad you liked it."

She smiled and called Asami and Mako over to her. "You think you guys can help me put all this in my room?" she asked putting the jersey on.

Tonraq stopped her on the way to her room, looking how the jersey looked at her. "Maybe one day you'll play for this team," he told her with a smile. "Using your old man's number."

Korra blinked before smiling and giving him a kiss on the cheek. "I hope so."

For the rest of the evening, we all had dinner, and my daughter got a chance to cut her cake. Asami and Mako both pushed her head onto the cake, which surprisingly she enjoyed. My husband and I also spread some frosting on her face after, making her life. Around ten, everyone started to leave. Mako, Bolin and Toza were going back to their home to have a small celebration of their own while Asami and Katara agreed to stay with us.

My daughter disappeared not long after and I went around the house, frantically looking for her. I checked her room lastly, and smiled at the sight that greeted me. My little girl was on the bed sound asleep, all the toys around her, including the football plush and Mako's teddy bear.

Tonraq, Katara and Asami came inside as I covered her up and smiled as well. I caressed her cheek and the two women left my husband alone with our daughter. Tonraq planted soft kiss on her forehead and I kissed her cheek.

"Mom, Dad," she muttered opening her eyes. "I'm sorry, I fell asleep."

"Shh," my husband soothed. "Go to sleep."

"I left my gift at Mako's place. I need to go get it."

I gently pushed her back down and caressed her cheek as I covered her with a blanket again. "The greatest gift of all is having you back, safe at home, where you belong." My daughter smiled and snuggled closer to me, instantaneously falling asleep again.

"Happy Birthday," we whispered.
