Asami chuckled and pressed a kiss to Korra's cheek. The detective sighed and shook her head.
"They have they worst timing," Korra grumbled as she moved away from Asami. "Let's get this over with."
Asami couldn't keep the smile from her lips at Korra's pout. She shook her head and followed Korra to the living room.
Korra unlocked and opened the door. Tonraq and Senna rushed in and embraced their daughter.
"Korra, sweetie, you look amazing," Senna gushed as she cupped Korra's face. "I missed you so much."
"Missed you, too, Mom," Korra said with a smile.
Tonraq scooped her up in his arms and held her close. "I love you, sweetie."
"Love you, too, Dad," Korra said as he kissed her forehead.
"Gram Gram! Grandpop!" Shila cried as she rushed for them.
"There's my little pup!" Tonraq beamed as he scooped Shila up. "How's is my little Shila?"
"Great! I missed you both a lot!" Shila said as she wrapped her arms around Senna's neck.
Senna smiled and took Shila out of Tonraq's arms. "We missed you too, honey, so much."
"You have to meet Mama!" Shila said as she squirmed out of Senna's arms.
"Mama?" Tonraq asked quietly.
Korra cleared her throat. "Mom, Dad, this is Asami Sato. She and I have been dating from a while now. Shila's quite attached."
Asami stepped forward and smiled politely. She opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted.
"Korra, she's gorgeous!" Senna cooed. "My goodness, dear, I'm Senna and this is my husband Tonraq."
Tonraq stepped forward and stared down at Asami. The teacher raised an eyebrow at his intimidating expression before he broke out in laughter.
"I can see why you fell for this girl, Korra," Tonraq said as he stuck his hand out.
Asami accepted it and smiled at both of them. "It's lovely to meet you both."
"Korra, is this the girl you tried to cook for?" Senna asked.
The detective sighed and scooped Shila up. "Yeah, tried being the key word."
"I still thought it was all very good," Asami said with a shrug.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence, babe," Korra said as she passed Shila to Asami. "Speaking of, I need to check the dumplings. Talk to my parents."
Asami pressed a kiss to Shila's cheek before turning to Tonraq and Senna, who were smiling.
"So," Asami asked. "What do you want to know?"
"And then Korra just put her finger in his face and said that he needed to be more polite." Tonraq said before a roared out in laughter.
"She said that to the Chief Elder?" Asami asked in shock.
Senna nodded as she stroked Shila's hair. "Five years old and she was a little spitfire."
Korra groaned and let her head fall back onto the couch. Asami chuckled and slipped her hand in Korra's.
"Oh, Korra, relax, I'm sure Asami just wants to know all about you," Tonraq said teasingly.
"Dad, I will go get my gun and shoot you in the foot," Korra said sharply.
"But that's the cutest story."
"Shoot you in the foot."
Tonraq snorted and frowned. Asami couldn't help but giggle. Four sets of blue eyes landed on her in confusion.
"I'm sorry," She said quickly. "Korra and Shila just make that exact same expression."
Senna smiled warmly. "They do. I like you, Asami. You're smart, dedicated, polite, beautiful, and make my girls happy."
"Thank you," Asami said softly.
Korra beamed and wrapped her arm around Asami's shoulders. Shila nodded excitedly.
"Mama is the best! She bought me a bunch of new clothes and toys and she's always there when Mommy and I need her."
Tonraq ruffled Shila's hair before turning back to Korra and Asami, who were seated on the love seat.
"Now, Asami, do you plan on getting serious with my daughter or are you just laying house?" He asked in a serious tone.
"Dad!" Korra barked.
Senna swatted his arm, but he never took his eyes off of Asami. Determined emerald eyes bored back into his.
"I'm very serious, Tonraq," Asami said sternly. "I love Shila as if she were my own child and I love Korra unconditionally. Yes, people could say we moved too quickly, but the three of us are happy and it works. I have finally found my place in this world and it is with these two. They are my world."
Korra's heart caught in her chest. Asami loved her. She loved her unconditionally. Asami Sato loved her. She smiled tearfully and leaned into her lover.
Tonraq smiled and nodded. "I just needed to make sure," He said quietly. "I love my girls and I want them happy."
"So do I," Asami said.
Tonraq stood and thrust his hand out. "I'm glad we understand each other."
Asami stood and smiled. "Me too." She took his hand and squeezed it.
The man smiled and pulled Asami into his arms.
"That went over much better than I thought," Korra said as she changed her shirt for bed.
Asami dried her hair with a towel as she sat on the edge of the bed. "So, they like me?"
"A whole hell of a lot," Korra said. "They've met some people I've been with in the past and have never warmed up to them."
"I must be special."
"You are," Korra said as she made her way to the bed. "So, you really love me?"
Asami smiled and set the towel down. "Without hesitation."
Korra grinned and pushed Asami back onto the bed. "I want to hear to say it over and over," She said as she straddled the teacher.
Asami gripped Korra's hips and grinned devilishly. "And your parents took Shila for the night, so we're all alone."
Korra bent down and kissed the teacher roughly. "Yeah, we are. I love you."
Asami reached up and cupped Korra's face. "I love you, too, Korra. With everything that I am."
"So, do you like your Mama?" Senna asked as she and Tonraq tucked Shila into bed.
"I do," Shila said with a yawn. "Mama is the best. She loves Mommy and me a lot and we love her. She the best teacher ever, too."
"Do you think they'll get married?" Tonraq asked as he kissed her forehead.
"I hope so," Shila mumbled. "I love our family. I want Mama to stay forever."
Korra pushed out of bed and looked around her room. What had become Asami's side of the bed had been made and any trace of Asami was missing. Korra frowned and pulled on her police academy shirt and a pair of shorts.
She made her way into the living room where and frowned when no one was there. She turned and moved into the kitchen but, still, nothing.
Korra bit her lip; she was beginning to get worried. Asami wouldn't up and leave without saying anything.
She went back to her bedroom and grabbed her cell phone; she punched in Asami's number and waited nervously as the phone rang.
"Korra?"
"Asami! Where the hell are you?" Korra demanded.
"Damn, I was hoping to be back before you woke up. I realized I didn't have anymore clean clothes at your place and you need a key to get into your laundry room. So, I just ran back to my flat to grab a few things."
Korra sighed softly. "Ok, I'm sorry. I just got worried."
"Afraid I was going to skip out on you or something?" Korra could hear the amusement in Asami's voice.
"A girl is allowed to be self-conscious sometimes," Korra said defensively.
Asami chuckled. "I should be back in about an hour or so."
"Alright, well, I love you."
"I love you, too. See you soon."
Korra hung up the phone and sighed. She felt bad for getting nervous; she knew Asami was enthralled with her.
She shook her head and grabbed a box of crackers from the kitchen before dropping down on the couch. She picked up the remote and turned the television on before popping a cracker in her mouth.
Asami shut her backseat door when she heard a man clear his throat. She turned quickly.
"Dad!"
Hiroshi smiled as his daughter hugged him. "I was just coming by to see if you were home."
"Actually, I was on my way out," Asami said pulling away.
"You've ben staying with Korra and her daughter."
"How did you know?" Asami asked suspiciously.
Hiroshi shrugged. "It was another one of your mother's 'feelings.'"
Asami shook her head. "Sometimes, Mom's intuition is scary." She crossed her arms defensively. "I hope you're not here to try and talk me out of it. I love her, Dad."
"No, it's not that," Hiroshi sighed. "I just never got to meet her. Asami, I can accept you loving someone, but I want to know them. I need to know if this woman is good enough for my little girl."
Asami's eyes widened. "Shit, we just got so wrapped up in-"
"Playing house?" Hiroshi asked calmly.
Asami blushed and shifted. "Well, yes, we just forgot. I'm sorry, Dad."
"It's alright. This is how you're like me, when you fall in love, you go all in," Hiroshi said softly. "I'm still like a schoolboy when it comes to your mother."
"You really are," Asami said fondly. "I just want what you and Mom have and I've found it in Korra."
"I trust you, Asami, but I just want to meet her. Not to mention the little one."
Korra glanced over her shoulder when the door pushed up.
"Mommy!"
Korra grinned and leaped off of the couch as Shila ran through the door. She scooped Shila up and held her close.
"Hi, sweetie!" Korra said tenderly. "Did you have fun with Gram Gram and Grandpop?"
"I did! They bought me toys and took me to a mover!" Shila said excitedly. She pulled away form Korra. "Where's Mama? I want to show her."
"Mama isn't here right now," Korra said. "She needed to get a few things."
"Asami isn't here?" Senna asked.
"She needed some more clean laundry," Korra said with a slight blush. "She didn't want to wake me up for my key."
"Have you and she that about getting a bigger place?" Tonraq asked as he bent down to pet Naga. "This place was fine for you and Shila, but Naga needs more room."
"Well," Korra said. "Asami and I have never talked about formally moving in together. I know she has a flat she's renting out, but we've just been playing house. I think we're both waiting for the other shoe to drop."
"Other shoe?" Shila asked. "What shoes?"
"It's an expression, sweetie," Senna said. "Do you think something can go south with you two?"
"I don't want to believe it, but the honeymoon phase ends at some point," Korra said with a heavy sigh.
"That's not always true," Tonraq said. "Sure, the newness wears off, but your mother and I are doing just fine almost thirty years after the fact."
"I guess you're right. I'm just scared that I have this amazing thing and it's going to blow up in my face," Korra said nervously.
"Don't be defeatist, sweetie," Senna said affectionately. "It's easy to see Asami loves you."
"Cause Mama is the best!" Shila said excitedly.
Korra chuckled and scooped Shila up. "Yes, yes she is."
Asami bit her lip nervously. "Dad, is this really necessary?"
"Hiroshi, I agree," Wei Sato as she crossed her arms. "I feel like dropping in like this is only going to cause a problem. Asami said she's not even answering the phone."
"Well, this way I can guarantee that I meet Korra," He said dismissively. "Asami's happiness is my only concern."
Asami rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Dad, I appreciate your concern and acceptance, but Korra's parents are in town. I think dropping in would probably be rude."
"They're parents, too. They'll understand," Hiroshi said in his crisp business tone as he led Asami and Wei down the hall. "Now, what's the apartment number?"
Korra turned with a smile as the door opened. She moved to the door as Asami entered looking flushed.
"Hey, you," Korra said leaning in for a kiss.
Asami kiss Korra quickly. "Hey, we have a little problem."
"What?"
"My parents are here," Asami said quietly.
"What?" Korra asked sharply.
Asami bit her lip. "I ran into my dad outside of my apartment and he demanded to meet you now because we forget."
"Shit."
"Tell me about it," Asami said with a sigh. "I'm so sorry, Korra."
"No, it's alright," Korra said pecking Asami on the cheek. "Our families needed to meet at some point."
Korra moved past Asami and opened the door. She smiled at Hiroshi and Wei, who looked at her expectantly.
"Mr. and Mrs. Sato, I'm Korra," She said sticking her hand out.
"Hiroshi Sato and this is my wife Wei," Hiroshi said taking Korra's hand. "It seems my daughter is quite taken with you."
Korra nodded. "I'd like to think so."
"Dad, be nice," Asami said.
Wei shook her head. "Korra, it's a pleasure to meet you. Asami has never been so happy."
"It's an honor to meet you both," Korra said with a smile. "Asami is a fantastic woman."
"Yes, she is," Hiroshi said with a smile.
"Well, if you'd like to come in my parents and daughter would love to meet you both."
Wei and Hiroshi smiled at each other and entered when Korra stepped back.
"Mom, Dad, this is Hiroshi and Wei Sato," Korra said as Tonraq and Senna turned. "They're Asami's parents."
"Pleasure to meet you, sir," Tonraq said sticking out a hand. "Asami is a damn fine woman. She'd be a wonderful mother for our granddaughter."
Hiroshi looked up at Tonraq and nodded. "Korra seems like a fine woman, herself."
Senna chuckled. "Men," She stepped forward. "I'm Senna. Lovely to meet you, Mrs. Sato."
"Please, just Wei," She said as she accepted Senna's hug. "It's lovely to meet you."
Korra moved to Shila and scooped her up.
"Mama looks just like her Mommy!" Shila whispered excitedly.
"She does," Korra whispered back. "Now come say hi."
Korra moved to Hiroshi and Wei. "Shila, these are Mama's parents."
"Hi, I'm Shila," The young girl said nervously. "I love Mama, a lot. She's nice and pretty and smart and everything."
"You're right," Hiroshi said. "She is, just like her Mama."
Wei smiled fondly at Hiroshi before turning to Shila. "Well, it's nice to meet you, young lady. Asami has said wonderful things about you."
"She did?" Shila asked excitedly.
"Yes, she did," Hiroshi said. "She loves you quite a bit."
"I love her, too." Shila said bashfully. She reached out her arms to Asami.
Asami chuckled and took her from Korra. "I love you, too, sweetie."
Wei stepped forward and tucked some hair behind Shila's ear. "You are just the cutest thing."
Shila reached out and wrapped her arms around Wei's neck. Wei laughed and took Shila from Asami.
"You remind me of Mama," Shila whispered.
"Oh, you are precious," Wei said quietly.
"If you're Mama's Mommy, can I call you grandma?" Shila asked with hopeful eyes.
Wei smiled tenderly. "Yes. Yes, you can."
Asami beamed at Korra, who smiled back. She turned to Hiroshi.
"Dad?"
Hiroshi moved to Wei and Shila. "Well, if she's grandma then you'll have to call me grandpa."
Shila smiled brightly. "Really?"
"Really."
Hiroshi scooped Shila up and hugged her. "It's an honor to meet you."
Shila giggled at tugged at Hiroshi's mustache. "Your hair is funny."
Wei covered her mouth suddenly and Hiroshi cleared his throat, his eyes clearly brimming with tears.
"Your Mama used to do and think the same thing when she was your age." He said quietly.
Tonraq and Senna smiled at each other and Korra slipped an arm around Asami's waist.
"I love you," She whispered to Asami.
Asami smiled and leaned into Korra. "I love you, too. This is pretty damn perfect, isn't it?"
"You're damn right it is," Korra said with a smile. "Alright, now who's up for lunch?"
