Chapter 17
Asami's eyes grew wide in surprise. She opened her mouth to speak but she lacked the words to say them out loud. Her brain was in discussion with herself. She loves me? She loves me! She did just say that she loved me? Right? RIGHT!?
"Because I do... I do love you Asami..." she let her forehead rest against the vixen's and let out a shuddering sigh. "I love you so much Sami... I never thought..." she gulped and looked Asami in the eye again. "Why didn't you tell me?"
The heiress averted her eyes. "I thought you and Axis were... together. I didn't want to... come between you two." She made little circles with her thumbs on Korra's jaw line.
"Axis and I, we never were a couple. We enjoyed and explored each other but we were never bound to one another as a couple." Korra explained and Asami smiled warmly.
"But, she does love you..."
"And I love her, but the love I have for her is different than what I feel for you." She said with a big smile and moved to sit in the middle of the bed, her back against the headboard. She still held Asami's hand and gently nudged her to come closer.
Asami chuckled softly and crawled over to Korra. She spread Korra's legs slightly so she could lay between them. She rested her head on Korra's chest and listened to the Avatar's peaceful heartbeat. She had one arm wrapped around her own abdomen and the hand of her other arm rested on Korra's bicep. "I love you..." she whispered softly and her heart fluttered when the words came out of her mouth. Out in the open.
Korra had a big smile plastered on her face while she held Asami in her arms and kissed her hair lovingly. "I've missed sleeping next you at night. I woke up alone every morning and that was the most painful thing I had to go through." She admitted and sighed deeply.
"I missed that too... even more so when my nightmares returned..."
Korra felt the heiress tremble and tightened her embrace. "Well, we're together again. This time, nothing's gonna force us apart." She pulled Asami slightly higher so the vixen's head would rest on her shoulder and against her tanned neck. "If they try, I'll burn them alive." She turned her head slightly and kissed her wife to be on her cheek.
Asami turned her head slightly to look up at the Avatar and smiled. She cupped Korra's face with one hand and pulled her down gently. They shared another kiss. Equal to the one earlier. She let out a displeased whine when Korra pulled away to fast to her liking.
"You need to get some rest." She said with a chuckle. "If all goes well... we'll share the rest of our lives together... I'll be right here when you wake up again." She saw that Asami agreed and said woman nuzzled against her warm neck. She felt soft lips against the sensitive skin of her neck and a pleasant shiver made it's way down her spine. "Sleep well Sami..."
She let out a soft 'mhnn...' and drifted off to sleep. A hand rested on Korra's chest that rose and fell with each breath she took. After several months, Asami finally felt at peace. She felt secure and safe again and for the first time in weeks, sleep came easily to her.
A few hours passed, Korra hadn't noticed that she had fallen asleep too and a soft knock on the door woke her up from her light slumber. She looked down at Asami who was still sleeping peacefully and she smiled. She heard another knock, slightly louder this time. She cleared her throat before she gave a response. "C-come in..."
The door opened slowly. Axis and Yasuko both walked in and tried to make as little noise as possible. "We've found a priest..." Axis said and smirked at her friend. "Well well... we didn't disturb you two, did we?" she said with a soft chuckle.
Korra's cheeks showed a faint pink but she smiled and shook her head. "S-shut up..." she bit her lower lip anxiously. "I... I told her..."
Yasuko sat down on he edge of the bed. "Told her what?" she asked curiously.
Korra looked everywhere except to the older woman. Her cheeks turned an even darker shade of red. "I... uh... I mean... it's... we..."
"She finally admitted that she's totally and utterly in love with your daughter." Axis said, her arms crossed over her chest and a wicked grin plastered on her face.
Korra's mouth fell open. She looked from Yasuko to Axis and back before muttering a few insults under her breath. She didn't even dare to look up, afraid of some kind of rejection from Asami's mother. Instead, she received something completely different.
"Well, it's about time..." Yasuko said with a soft chuckle. She lovingly stroke Asami's sleeping face. "Yes, I've known about Asami's feelings towards you. I had hoped you felt the same way. How I knew...?" a mysterious smile showed on Yasuko's lips. "A mother always knows..." she said and smiled reassuringly at the young Avatar. "Love's something we cannot control. Even though we try. I will not judge someone by who they love."
Korra let out a relieved sigh and smiled at the older woman. "Thank you... that... that means a lot."
"It's time to be married." She said and she gently nudged her daughter against her shoulder. "wake up sweetie..."
Asami took a deep breath before she slowly opened her eyes. She quickly covered her mouth to try and hide a yawn but failed quite miserly. All three other women giggled and Asami hid her face in the crook of Korra's neck. "Mhn... you're all mean..." she mumbled softly.
"Your mother and Axis found someone that will marry us." Korra whispered and that seemed to do the trick.
The heiress, reluctantly, pulled away from her wife to be and rubbed her eyes with the palms of her hand. "R-really? That's amazing!" she yawned again and rolled her eyes. "Sorry... it's been a while since I slept so good..." she apologized but Korra and Asami's mother both shook their heads.
"No need to apologize sweetie," her mother said with a bright smile. "I'm so happy for you both..."
Korra leaned closer to Asami to whisper in her ear. The vixen's pale cheeks turned a dark shade of red. "You... you know... you knew? W-what... when... I... it's..." she gulped and just stared at her mother in disbelief.
"I saw how you two acted, how you two were when you two were together. I had hoped that you two would've confessed sooner, like... before the two of you left to return to the South..."
Korra and Axis both hung their heads in shame and guilt but before they could say anything, Yasuko continued. "But, that's behind us now. Yes, there were consequences, but... all has been dealt with... and, there's a bright future ahead for you two. Soon, you two will have a child together." she smiled warmly at the young couple.
Korra and Asami looked at one another and suddenly flinched when they heard Yasuko squeal in delight. "Ah! I'm going to be a grandmother! Oh my dear!"
Asami giggled and smiled at her mother. She sat down next to Korra again and cradled her stomach with both hands lovingly. She released a shuddering breath and slowly got up. "Let's not keep the priest waiting."
Yasuko nodded and got back on her feet as well. "Hold on my dear..." she said to her daughter and looked over to Axis.
The Voodoo Master smirked and walked over to her friend. "You better let her prepare, come on." Axis nearly dragged Korra out of the room.
Korra chuckled at her friend when they walked to the garden of the mansion. "Wow, you're in a hurry, calm down woman."
Axis snickered softly and finally let go of her friend once they stepped foot into the garden. "The weather is nice... the Mother is generous and clearly happy with you marrying to an Earth Kingdom woman." She said and continued to walk into the immense garden. She looked at all the beautiful flowers that were blooming.
Korra continued to smile but her heart seemed to clench in her chest. "Axis... I'm... sorry."
She held one of the many flowers in her hand and sniffed it. "What for...?" she asked quite surprised.
"For... I don't know... I have the feeling I'm not being fair... towards you."
Axis turned back to face her friend. "Korra... I support you two... yeah it came as quite a surprise when you suddenly asked her to marry you. But I know why you're doing all this." She started and Korra agreed in silence with a nod. "You love her. More than you love me..." she smiled sadly and swallowed the lump in her throat. "I'm happy for you, both of you." She said with sincerity in her voice.
Korra walked over to her friend and embraced her. Her arms wrapped tightly around the taller woman who smiled and hugged her in return. The two walked through the garden and continued to chat. They eventually ended up near a lovely decorated gazebo. It was made from dark wood and decorated with flowers that had all the colours of the rainbow. Blue, white, red, purple and so on. The priest was waiting and Axis led the Avatar into the small wooden building.
It didn't take long before Korra noticed the change in her friends features as she seemed to stare off into the distance. Korra turned her head into the direction that Axis was staring at and her mouth fell open.
She saw Asami, dressed in a beautiful white wedding gown. Yasuko walked at her side and lead her daughter towards the wooden building. The Avatar could see the tears in her beloved's eyes and felt them burn in her own. "Oh Spirits... she's so beautiful..." she mumbled and took a shuddering breath.
Asami's black hair rested on her shoulders and back. The faint baby bump showed through the tight dress but no one seemed to care about that right now.
Axis took a step back and Asami walked up and stopped right in front of the speechless Avatar. "D-do you like it...?" she asked nervously.
Korra eyed the heiress from top to bottom and back. "I... it's... I think..."
Axis leaned closer to Asami. "I think that's a yes..." and smirked and heard Yasuko giggle softly. Lady Sato had taken her place right next to the other Southerner.
Korra just nodded and took Asami's hands in her own. "I love you..."
The heiress smiled, the faint pink returned to her pale cheeks and she leaned closer to Korra, just enough to peck her lips swiftly. "I love you too..." she whispered and moved to stand next to Korra so both women would face the priest before them.
The man smiled and nodded politely towards the couple. "Greetings my Ladies... it's an honour and a pleasure to marry Miss Sato and Avatar Korra, that they may spend the rest of their lives together as wife and wife." All women chuckled and even the priest joined them. "Without further ado..." he said and opened a leather bound book. "Let us begin..."
