Thank BG-13 and Happy Halloween ya'll :)


Senna's POV

My daughter had been acting off all day. She came home with Aaron and paced around the house, slightly rocking him back and forth as she looked everywhere but at me. I wondered what could possibly be upsetting her. My grandson would be six months old in about a week. I held out my arms for him and the little toddler giggled and spread out his arms as well. Korra hesitantly handed him to me and I frowned.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing," she replied quickly.

I raised a brow but turned my attention back to Aaron, who was sleepily rubbing his eyes. Before long he was fast asleep and I placed him on couch before covering him with a blanket and placing a pillow on each side so he wouldn't roll away. Then I looked at my daughter once again. "Alright, now will you tell me what's wrong?"

She didn't look at me, her attention focused completely on her son. For a moment, I didn't even think she had heard the question but then she spoke. "He's going to be six months soon," she whispered.

I smiled and nodded. "He's getting bigger. But he gets even more handsome as he grows," I noted. My daughter half smiled and I frowned again. "Is something wrong? Are you and Mako ok?"

"We're fine," Korra quickly replied. "It's just that…he took me when I was six months," she added, her voice barely above a whisper. "What if he takes Aaron?"

In that moment I understood why she had been acting off. Noatak had done a good job at making sure his presence was known. Even after Aaron was born he had sent them a…gift, as he'd had called it. Korra had nightmares for days after that. I moved over so I was sitting next to her.

"Nothing is going to happen," I told her gently. "I'll talk to Lin and have her place a guard at your home when Mako's not there. That way you won't have anything to worry about."

"I can't lose him," she replied, her voice cracking as a tear slid down her cheek. "I can't lose my baby." There was something firm under the surface of my daughter's tone.

I shook my head and pulled her towards me, feeling the hot tears against the crook of my neck as I rubbed her back soothingly. "You won't. Nothing is going to happen to Aaron. No one's going to take him. I promise."

She nodded her head against my neck. "I know," she replied. She sat up, rubbing the tears from her eyes and looked me square in the eye, causing a shiver to go down my spine. I'd never seen such a fierce flame in my daughter's eyes. "If he wants Aaron, he'll have to go through me. And I won't go down without a fight."


Korra's POV

Aaron had woken up on the drive back to the house. I greeted the police officer outside and went straight to the nursery room. I gave my son his bottle, and then gave him his favorite football pillow before shutting off the lights and saying good night.

Naga followed me out of the room and into the master bedroom. Mako had called saying he would be home late and I decided to wait for him. Naga had her head on my lap as I flipped through the channels, trying to find something to watch.

The baby monitor lit up and I heard Aaron crying. I got up and told my dog to stay while I checked on the baby. When I got to the nursery room I turned on the lights and went over to the crib to see what was wrong. Aaron smiled at me and I smiled back.

"So this is where you keep the baby," a too familiar voice said.

I felt my blood turn cold when I recognized the voice. I turned around to find someone with a mask. He stepped forward and I blocked his path to the crib. Noatak chuckled and removed the mask.

"Come on, child," he began. "You wouldn't deny a grandfather the right to see his grandson, would you?" His lips twitched into a cruel smirk.

"Get away from me," I said through my teeth, trying to hide the fear in my voice. Aaron must have sensed the tension in the air because he let out a wail. I turned my attention to him and soothed my son as much as I could.

"Well he is your son alright," he said. "Weak, just like you."

"There's a guard outside," I began, turning to face him. "I'll call him."

"I'm afraid he can't come to rescue you," Noatak replied, taking another step forward. "I told you I'd come back."

I made a move toward the door but he blocked my way. I had to get him away from Aaron. I tried again to get passed him but he pushed me aside and I fell to the floor. I heard a bark and then a cry of pain. I looked over to see Naga had her teeth dug into Noatak's leg.

"Stupid mutt," he growled as he launched a kick into her side. The pup released his ankle and let out a whimper. I got up off the ground and launched a fist at his jaw. He caught it at the last second and pulled me into his chest, wrapping his arms around my torso so tightly it hurt.

"Let me go!" I yelled. He brought a hand to my mouth but quickly recoiled when I bit the appendage.

"You bitch," he hissed. I felt the slap and my head jerked to the side so fast I thought I might have whiplash. "I'd stop struggling if I were you. I could easily take the little bastard instead."

I growled but struggled a little less. I wouldn't let him touch my baby. Like Id told Mom, Id die first.

I could see Naga run toward me as Noatak dragged me toward the door. She stopped and looked back at the nursery room, letting out a whine before her brown gaze fixed on me. I could tell she was torn, that she didn't know whether to come after me or stay and protect the baby. I made the decision for her.

"Naga! Go with Aaron!" I yelled as I continued to fight against Noatak's hold.
