A/N: Borra Babies. But this one's scary. I started it with the intention of it being humorous, but... then I searched some things and became terrified. I like the ending though. The ending is nice.
Rated: possibly a K? Or maybe T? I don't know, it's pretty horrific, honestly
Day 7 - Accusation
Korra let out a long, suffering moan. "This is… all your fault!" she groaned before letting out another cry.
Bolin was unable to respond to her accusations – he was too busy trying to pry his aching fingers from her steel grip. He let out a silent scream when another contraction prompted her to squeeze his hand again, and whimpered when she still didn't let go.
"K-Korra–! M-my hand!"
Korra screamed in response as another contraction wracked her body. The healers were instructing her to breathe, to push but Korra couldn't hear them through the burning in her groin and the back-breaking pain.
"Ow ow ow!" she whined. "It hurts!" She loosened her grip on Bolin's fingers enough for him to snatch his hand away and cradle it safely against his chest.
"Push!" the healers demanded.
"I can't!" she cried. "I can't!" Korra threw her head back and let loose a stream of tears. Bolin's eyes snapped to Korra and became alarmed when she hid her face in her palms.
Korra was crying. His Korra. Crying. And in pain. Korra giving up, just quitting, was simply unthinkable. And Korra crying was… terrifying.
The amazing girl he'd known for years, the woman he loved and married, the strongest person he'd ever known. His brave, incredible Korra…
She was just going to give up?
"Yes, you can!" Bolin said at last, pressing a kiss to her sweaty forehead. Korra glanced up at him wearily and started to shake her head in disagreement when Bolin cupped her face and touched his forehead to hers. "C'mon, Korra. Only you can do this. I'll be right here beside you," he whispered, weaving his still throbbing fingers through hers again, even though the risk of them ending up broken was high. "Don't let me down, tough girl."
