19 Weeks:

Mako was in the kitchen making dinner for everyone when he heard someone running up the stairs to the apartment. Mako turned and looked at his brother who was currently sitting at the table playing around with Pabu. He gave his brother a quizzical look. Bolin replied with a shrug of his shoulders. Just then the door burst open and in ran Korra. She paused for a minute standing there looking around the apartment frantically as if looking for something. When her eyes fell upon Mako she ran up to him.

"Korra what's wrong?" He asked worried.

Korra just stood there smiling up at him. She grabbed his hands.

"I felt the baby move!" She squealed rather uncharacteristically.

Mako's face changed from confused to shocked to excited. Korra then placed his hands on her bloated stomach.

"Do you feel that?" She asked excitedly. Mako's dropped jaw rose into a loving smile.

"Wow." He whispered. "There's really a baby in there."

"Yeah." She said softly smiling up at him with her hands on her hips.

"I wanna feel! I wanna feel!" Bolin shouted as he ran up to the two. They both just smiled and laughed. Bolin had just completely interrupted their intimate moment, but it was totally worth it. The three of them stood there together feeling the newest member of their family grow. It was a special moment for all of them.


I originally wrote this chapter cause I wanted to give some perspective on how Bolin felt about the baby. I pictured him to be excited that his family is growing. I also wanted Mako and Korra to share that moment when the baby first moved, but it just didn't feel natural. Also, I feel like Korra was too out of character in this. I can't really see her "squealing" like I wrote. Maybe she would, I don't know. I know I'm the author and can do whatever I want, but I try to keep the characters as close to the show as possible. Again, "Together" is my first story that I've actually written out. So all this is new to me. Anyways, thanks for reading and let me know what you think.
