AN: You guys made my day even more awesome. I honestly didn't expect to have almost ten reviews within the first day of the fic being up. Thank you! I feel so loved!
One more thing before I start this chapter. I saw Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter earlier today. Go see it. It's awesome!

"H-how can you be so sure?" Mako was a bit in shock about what Korra had just told him.
"Well…" The Avatar shifted her weight on her feet. "Being sick is one. Then I have been having strange eating habits lately." That's true. It had been going on for a few weeks actually; she suddenly wanted to eat foods that she never wanted to eat before. There was another reason to why she had come to this conclusion. "And my period is late…"
Mako stood, for the moment speechless. They both remembered that night very well. It was kind of an unexpected thing that happened. They were alone in Korra's room on the island, and then they started talking and kissing. The next thing they knew, they were waking up next to each other the next morning, their clothes scattered on the floor surrounding the small bed.
With the silence, Korra turned around, her back to him again with her hands against her formerly flat abdomen, which now was a small bump. She didn't know how she would be able to take care of a baby, since she had so much on her plate already with her being the Avatar and just recently being able to air bend. She was still training to master the element, and the whole patience thing that came along with it wasn't part of her personal style.
He would help her regardless, but it wasn't like she could put her remaining Avatar training on hold until the baby was a few weeks old. He put his hand on her shoulder. "We'll figure something out…"
Korra looked calm on the outside, but on the inside, she was a mess. She was trying to figure everything out in her mind of what to do, not wanting for a solution to come in time. Impatient as always.
The Avatar sighed and began to walk to the temple on the island. Mako watched her walk away before following after her. "We're going to have to tell the others sometime, Korra…"
She scoffed at him, a near angry tone in her voice. "Really? I didn't know that."
Mood swings… Great.
"Sorry…" Korra stopped walking and apologized.
The fire bender didn't say anything, instead he picked her up bridal style causing a light blush to grow on her cheeks. Korra rested her head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat as he walked them back to the temple. She closed her eyes and relaxed, soon falling asleep.
Mako closed the door to Korra's room, leaving her inside on her bed to sleep. He sighed, walking down the hall. He needed some time to think about all of this, especially since he and Korra were going to be parents was so unexpected.
"Hey, big bro."
The fire bender looked up towards the end of the hall, where his earth bending brother coming from the dining room, guessing that he had just gotten more food from the kitchen. His pet fire ferret was on his shoulder like always. He watched his brother finish a bite of food before he finally said something.
"What's wrong? You look down."
Mako shrugged, not sure if he should tell his brother that he was going to be an uncle now or later on. In fact, he wasn't sure how he was going to tell Bolin in the first place. "Nothing… Just thinking…"
Bolin tilted his hair to the side, taking a few moments to stare at his brother. He knew that Mako was lying; his brother wasn't the best liar in the world. "Dude… you suck at lying." He patted his fire bending brother on the shoulder. "Come on, tell Bolin what's wrong. Did you and Korra break up or something?"
"No, nothing bad."
"Then what-?"
Mako sighed. "Bolin… if I tell you, don't tell anyone. Got it?" Bolin quickly nodded and Mako spoke quietly, but it was enough for the earth bender to make out what he had said. "Korra's pregnant…"
A second before, Bolin had been holding a plate of food in his hand, which was not clattering on the floor. The food surrounded it on the wooden floor. The brothers stood in silence as Bolin remained in shock. It had only been about a month since Mako and Korra had started dating, so it would be surprising for anyone to find out that the couple were going to have a baby so soon in their relationship. Mako looked at his wrist, as if there were a watch there and he was watching the second hand go around in endless circled, then he waved his hand in front of his brother's face.
"Bolin?"
The earth bender tried to speak, but no words came out. He was speechless. He knew his brother loved the young Avatar a lot, though he did not know that he loved her enough for them to make love so soon. After what seemed like forever, he finally said something.
"I'm gonna be an uncle-!"
Mako tried to cut him off before he finished the sentence, but he failed to do so. He hoped that no one in the temple had heard his brother, that and he didn't want Korra to wake up and be constantly asked with questions from Jinora, Ikki and Meelo if they did hear. Besides, Korra would probably be mad for him telling anyone.
"Don't tell anyone, got it?" Mako narrowed his eyes at his brother. "Act like you don't know anything."
"Alright, alright. I won't say anything."
The problem was that normally when Bolin knew a secret was that if someone knew he was hiding something, and if they really wanted to know, they would easily get the earth bender to tell them. It was as easy as asking him over and over. They were screwed.

AN: It is late so I'm just going to end this chapter here. Sorry that it's ending at a bad spot. Seriously though, I didn't expect this fanfic to get so much reviews this fast. I don't think this fanfic is that good honestly.
Thank you.
