Leaving the healer's was an ordeal for Korra and the men. As soon as they had entered, the press swarmed the facility. While there, Korra got a general checkup, to see if everything was fine, and how far along she was. Noatak had misjudged a little bit, and the threesome found out Korra was only about twelve weeks along.

There was only one way to tell if it was her first pregnancy, but it was an invasive procedure that made her particularly uncomfortable. When the healer announced that it was, in fact, her first pregnancy, Korra felt a wave of relief wash over her. She was happy that her child was safe, and that there weren't any other children to mourn.

"Well, that's a relief," Tarrlok said, to which the others nodded in agreement. Korra was relieved that he wasn't as horrible as she had thought, but was still upset that he would even think about trying to terminate any pregnancies without her knowing.

As they exited the building, press invaded their personal space, and tried very hard to find out what was going on. Noatak briefly stated that the young avatar had not been feeling well, but is fine now as they got into the satomoblie. Cameras flashed as the men blocked her from view, and the ride home was quiet.

"Korra," Tarrlok began. His knuckles were white from how hard he was gripping the steering wheel. "I'm so sorry."

"Save it, Tarrlok," She stared out the window, her thumb absentmindedly running over her belly. "What you did was not wrong, though your thoughts were. The fact that you wanted to harm our children hurts me more than you could know."

"I never intended to hurt you…" He trailed off. "I know my intentions were anything but proper, but you have to understand that I only wanted what was best for you."

"First, I don't have to understand anything. Second, how was that what was best for me?" Korra turned to him, frustrated.

"Because you were still living at the temple, still training, still growing. It wasn't my place to come in and knock you up, especially when so many would think that would've been my goal in the first place. I didn't want to fuck up your whole life and then get charged with statutory rape," Tarrlok sighed. "You've always meant so much to me, I didn't want you to hate me for the rest of your life."

"Tarrlok, I couldn't hate you for something you didn't do," Korra pinched the bridge of her nose. "I don't even hate you for thinking of doing that, but it really makes me feel like you wouldn't ever consider having a child with me."

"Korra, I already told you, I would never interfere again. If you had gotten pregnant at all after those two times that I got your bleeding to start, I would've taken responsibility, and loved you even more. To be completely honest, I used to think about if I had let you keep those babies, about how our lives would've been. Noatak maybe wouldn't even be here, I don't know how he feels about pregnant women."

"I happen to find them very alluring, thank you very much," Noatak chipped in from the back seat. "In fact, if you had brought Korra to me pregnant, I probably would have stolen her from you, instead of shared."

"Oh, Ha-ha," Korra smiled at the banter, suddenly wondering if this baby was something she wanted. There would always be the question of whether it was Noatak's or Tarrlok's and she wasn't sure about whether she was ready for something like this. Was motherhood her path right now?

"..Korra?" Noatak's voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She looks away from the window again.

"Hm..?" She asked. He just smiled and shook his head, his hand reaching to grasp her shoulder.

"Nothing, my love," His words were soft. She wondered why he was suddenly somber.

"Did I miss something?" She asked, persistent. She looked to Tarrlok, who just flattened his lips together.

"We just wanted to know what you were feeling about this pregnancy," Noatak said. Korra shrugged.

"I'm not sure, really," She answered honestly. "When you first told me, I just wondered why my babies weren't wanted, but now I'm having second thoughts about having this one."

Tarrlok shot her a look.

"I just, I thought we'd be under different circumstances when we got pregnant for the first time," She continued. "I was hoping to have better track of who was whose, but I just… I don't know which of you got me pregnant…"

"Korra, that doesn't matter, we'll all love it just the same," Noatak said. The satomoblie pulled up to their house just then. The brothers escorted her into the house, one on either side.

"I'm just worried about later, when they find out that most kids only have two parents…" She explained as she settled into the couch in the living room. She plopped her face into her hands as her elbows rested on her knees. "Oh, spirits, how do I tell them?"

"Tell who, Korra?" Tarrlok asked.

"Tenzin, and Asami, and Bolin, and Mako-" She held back a sob. She hadn't thought about what she was going to say yet, but she had time. She knew her friends would try to be as supportive as they could.

"Don't worry about that right now, my love," Noatak said. "You're not showing yet, there's still plenty of time to think about what you're going to say; both to your friends and to the public."

Korra nodded. "You're right. It'll be hard enough to tell my parents."

"You're parents?" Noatak asked. The young girl nodded again. "Are you going to send a letter?"

"I've kind of been wanting to visit them, actually," Korra trailed off. The brothers looked at each other. Tarrlok shrugged. "The solstice is coming up.."

"Do you think that's a good idea, now that we know for sure you're pregnant?" Noatak asked. Korra nodded.

"I'd like to go before I get too big to go anywhere," She leaned back into the couch. "I'd really like you both to come with me…"

"I would never dream of letting you go alone," Tarrlok stated. Noatak nodded in agreement, his arm going around Korra's waist. Tarrlok settled in on the other side of her, his arm going around her shoulders. "We'll be going with you, Korra."

Korra smiled, realizing fully that these men were going to be there for her, no matter what.
