AN: I am going to begin this chapter right now before I go to bed. To those of you who have reviewed and asked if I was crazy, I can actually say that yes, I am. :3

The reason I am starting this right now is because I want this to be a longer chapter. There will be a few time skips in it, so that is why. I am actually going against my mom's orders and working on this update. Rebellion! :D

"Marry me, Korra."

Korra froze, for she was caught off guard by the fire bender's sudden proposal. The sentence repeated itself over and over in her head, each time sounding more and more like music to her ears. Her blue eyes stared into his golden ones. At the moment she was speechless, trying to get her answer out, but no words came out.

"Sorry, if it's too sudden…" Mako apologized, looking off to the side a bit.

Korra turned his face back to look at her, not allowing him to say anything as she placed her lips on his. She smiled as she pulled away from the kiss. "How is that for an answer, city boy?"

"You haven't called me by that name in a long time, Avatar Korra." He smiled. He took her hand, sliding a simple silver ring onto her finger, nothing too extravagant. "I know this isn't very much…"

"It's enough. You don't have to try and impress me, Mako."

The fire bender stood up, picking up Korra as he did so, carrying her into the tent. He carried her into their room as her stoked her chocolate colored hair. Korra leaned her head against his chest, relaxing at the sound of her now fiancé's heartbeat. She smiled, burying he face into his chest, his heat warming her up after her being outside for so long.

He lay her on the bed, covering her up, her hand grabbed a hold of his ruby scarf before he could give her some alone time.

"You're not leaving me alone, now are you?" Korra pulled him into the bed. "It's still my birthday, remember and I want you to stay with me today. Okay? So no leaving me."

Mako smiled lightly, burying his face in her hair, muttering words just loud and audible enough for Korra to hear. "I won't ever leave you…"

Time Skip: 6 Months

Korra watched as her father and Mako worked on building a cabin for her and Mako. It was kind of amusing to watch because the two of them did not have to best relationship. Tonraq apparently still hadn't gotten completely over the fact that Mako had gotten Korra pregnant, which he was somewhat getting revenge for by making the fire bender do most of the work.

By now, that had been staying at the Southern Water tribe for five months, though they had made a few trips back to Republic City a few times to visit, for some air bending practice, and to tell the news about their engagement. Tenzin had finally came around, and now claimed that Korra had finally mastered the last element, so she would no longer need any more air bending training. Her Avatar training was finally complete.

It felt weird for Korra, because the last few years she been training to master all the elements. It felt like her life was full of changes, though it really was. She had mastered all four elements, she had moved back to her original home, and she was six months pregnant. Her life as the Avatar was only going to become more hectic, but a part of her knew that everything going on was going to be worth it in the end.

She put her hands on her growing stomach, feeling to baby kick again. She loved knowing that her child was happy. Everyone had told her that she was going to be a great mother once it was born, and that made her feel more confident that she would be able to raise it.

Korra began to shiver, so she turned on her heal and returned to her parent's hut. She found her mother in the kitchen, preparing dinner for the four of them. Another thing that was weird to Korra was everyone else wanting to do everything for her. She had grown up independent, and rebellious, learning how to take care of herself.

"Need any help, mom?" She asked as she entered the kitchen and approached her mother. She needed something to do since her training was finished and Mako didn't want her help them make the hut in case she got hurt – he was so protective it was kind of funny at times.

"Yes, honey. Thank you."

Korra began to help her mother with dinner in silence, which her mother broke.

"Just a few more months," she began. "Are you excited, Korra?"

Korra smiled, looking forward to the end of the pregnancy, but she was more looking forward to finally being able to hold the baby in her arms. She and Mako would have a family of their own and later on, they would get married. Everything would be perfect. "Yeah, I am." The Avatar smiled and put her hand over her stomach.

There was a small window in the kitchen that gave a view of Mako and Tonraq as they worked. They predicted their cabin to be completed by tomorrow evening, then she and Mako would be able to move out of her parent's cabin and into their own. It looked to be a fairly large one on the outer side of the tribe. Korra and Mako had agreed that since they were now both eighteen, it was time for them to have a place of their own.

She looked down. "Everything feels like it's happening so fast, with my Avatar training done now, and leaving Republic City and with only a few months left until I become a mom…" Korra sighed.

"I felt the same way when I was pregnant with you, Korra. I, actually did the same thing you're doing now." She looked at Korra from the corner of her eye. "Your grandparents were not very accepting when I told them that I was pregnant. They didn't want me to keep you once you were born, but I wanted to keep you.

"At the time, your father and I were living in the Northern Water Tribe, but after many dreadful discussions about me being pregnant with my parents, and their disapproval, we decided it would be best for us to leave there, so we travel down here to the southern tribe." She smiled. "And a few months later, that was when you were born."

Korra listened to her mother's story. She didn't know what her parents did just for her because they had never told her this story. "How did you and dad react when you two found out I was the Avatar?"

Her mother laughed lightly, remembering Korra when she was just a kid. She was quite the show off back then, though she left their hut in a mess many times. They figured out she was the Avatar after her burning a few things in the house and accidently earth bending.

"Honestly, I was worried for you, Korra. You were so young when the Order of the White Lotus found you. I was worried that they would take you away." She sighed. "I kept smiling though, knowing that you would be a great Avatar, just as you are now." She smiled. "I am so proud of you, Korra."

Korra smiled. "Thanks, mom."

Time Skip: 8 ½ Months

Almost done, Korra thought to herself. There were just a few more weeks left until she would finally be a mother. The pregnancy was coming to an end soon, but it felt like it had lasted forever. Her mother told her that aggravation during the last couple of weeks was normal and naturally the mother would be tired of carrying the baby and want the baby out.

Now, she and Mako lived in their own cabin in the Southern Water Tribe. They had stopped their monthly trips up to Republic City two weeks before and we not planning on going back until a month or so after their child was born.

They were still deciding on a name for it. They had thought of a few possibilities if it was a girl, and some possibilities if it was a boy, and they planned on actually picking out the name once it was born.

Even in the summer, it was always freezing in the water tribes due to their far distance from the equator, so like in most huts in the water tribes, there were built in fire places that Mako had lit using his fire bending.

He smiled, watching the mother to be sleep on their small couch. Mako always thought that Korra looked peaceful when she slept. Korra needed the sleep – she had been carrying their baby for almost nine months now, and she was beginning to become sleep deprived and feel sick again.

Mako pulled a chair from their dining room table and sat it next to the couch and sat in it. He brushed strands of Korra's loose hair from her face, his other hand over hers that was just barely sticking out from underneath the blanket covering her and leaned down to kiss her forehead, unsuccessfully trying not to wake her up from her slumber.

"Sorry for waking you up," he apologized once her eyes were open.

Korra just shrugged, adjusting to a more comfortable position, but just decided on sitting up instead. "It's okay… I wasn't getting that good of sleep anyway… it's very active right now." She sighed and leaned against the back of the couch.

Mako kissed Korra on the lips quickly, placing a hand on the large bump on her stomach, and sure enough he could feel the baby moving excitedly inside his mother's stomach. He felt it kicked a few times, hard enough to make Korra wince.

"That is what kept me up all night…" Korra sighed. "Let's go see my parents… maybe they can help…"

Mako nodded, graciously helping Korra to her feet. The size of her stomach, thanks to the baby, had made it hard for her to do simple stuff like just standing up from sitting on the couch.

After standing for only a few seconds, Korra felt a horrible pain in her lower abdomen. She placed her hand that wasn't holding onto Mako over her stomach, her eyes growing wide as she realized what was going on. She was shaking, not expecting this to come so soon.

"Mako, it's time," Korra began. She was talking frantically, almost beginning to panic. "The baby's coming."

Mako's golden eyes widened. He changed their destination, taking her to their bed room so she would be able to lay on their bed before he went to get her parents, leaving Korra alone for about five minutes. The contractions were horrible. She tried to get herself comfortable, which only lasted for the few minutes in between each contraction.

Soon, Mako returned with both of Korra's parents following closely behind him. Mako sat in a chair next to the bed, trying to help Korra with the pain she was experiencing during labor. Tonraq had left the hut to go get Katara, who had been Korra's water bending teacher and is the best healer in the world, while Korra's mother stayed with them, helping with anything that Korra needed.

Time Skip: Thirteen Hours Later

Korra was exhausted, but that feeling seemed to disappear as she held her and Mako's new born daughter. Those long nine months had finally come to an end. They were officially parents. She was officially a mother. The new born girl was asleep in her arms.

"Have you two decided a name for her yet?" Korra's mother asked.

Korra smiled, not taking her eyes off the new born. "Kei. That's her name."

AN: Longer as some of you requested, though not as fluffy as I would have hoped it to be. Right now, I am going to do some advertisement. My friend and I created an Avatar role play forum. If you want to join, leave a review asking for the link and I will message you the link. Please just join if you have a lot of time on your hands and are online a lot. I really don't like when role players on any of the forums I get one never show up on the site.

Oh, I am planning on making a sequel to this, too. X3
