27 Weeks:

"I'm gonna be an awesome Uncle you know." Said Bolin as he handed Korra her drink. Korra was visiting Bolin in his new apartment when they sat down at the kitchen counter to have some leech juice. Mako was in a meeting with the owner of the Pro-Bending arena.

Korra laughed and replied, "Of course you are. I'd expect nothing less."

"I plan on spoiling him rotten." Bolin continued. "And I'm gonna teach him how to earth bend."

"Earth bend? Who said the baby was going to be an earth bender?" Korra asked amused.

"Yeah! Mako and I's dad was an earth bender. So there's a chance the baby will be an earth bender."

"I didn't even think about the baby being a bender." Korra said softly looking down and rubbing her stomach.

Bolin smiled. "Well it could be a fire or water bender too."

"I hope it's a fire bender." Korra said suddenly.

"How come?"

"Well…" Korra answered. "It's an element Mako and I can both bend…. I don't know. It'd be fun if all three of us could all bend an element together."

Bolin smiled a sad smile. Korra noticed this and started to feel bad that Bolin still hadn't met someone special. Sure he had screaming fan girls that he brought home all the time, but he never actually settled down.

"You'll be a great father too someday, Bolin." Korra said.

"Nahhhh. I don't think kids are my thing." Bolin said rising to clean the dishes.

"What are you talking about? I see the way you are with Tenzin's kids. You're definitely a family man."

"The only family I really ever knew was Mako." Bolin said as he rinsed out the cups. Korra gave Bolin a sad look.

"Well, now you have a new member to add to that family. I know you'll be a great uncle. And maybe someday, a great dad too."

"You really think so?" Bolin asked turning around to face Korra.

"I know so." She replied smiling.


Poor Bolin. I cut out all of the chapters that he actually has lines. Again, I wrote this chapter because I wanted to give some insight to how Bolin felt about the baby but then I decided that I wanted to keep "Together" about Mako and Korra. I feel like Bolin would be a great uncle who spoils the kid rotten. I also wanted to show that Even though Korra has been with Mako all these years, she and Bolin were still really great friends. Oh and I didn't pare up Bolin with Asami because I feel like she would be with Iroh. I picture Bolin with an OLDER Jinor or Ikki in a few years. I know, weird, but hey, I did say older. Anywyas, as I was writing this chapter, I felt like it was really forced. It didn't flow out of me like the other chapters. Anyways, thanks for reading, and let me know what you think.
