A/N: So this one didn't quite come out exactly the way I intended, but oh well. One drabble closer to the end of this 30 Days thing. I should have been done with these 2 months ago. Oops.

Day 23 - Diamond
From your head, down to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be
Baby of mine
– "Baby Mine" performed by Alison Krauss
Dawn is breaking, casting a roseate glow over the snowy landscape of Korra's childhood home. It's a color that reminds him of ten little blushed fingers and toes. A color that comes to mind when he remembers the warmth and happiness illuminated on Korra's face as she cradled their newborn daughter. A color that brings the overwhelming emotions of joy of the moment he finally held his child, swaddled lovingly in a plush pink blanket gifted by Asami and Mako.
Bolin blinks, happily blinded by the start of a new day, and shields a tiny face from icy winds against his chest. Korra moves into his arms the same way she invaded his heart – with no effort at all. Her hand touches his rough cheek, the kiss of her palm burning his skin. She leans in to brush her lips over the forehead of their newborn on her first morning.
And on this morning Bolin is a wealthy man, with the way light glitters like jewels in the snow. All around them are diamonds; a sea of diamonds they are lost in together.
There's a promise he makes in his heart. Bolin swears, amongst all of these diamonds, to keep his daughter safe. Always.
Because she is one of two rare and beautiful treasures in his world.
