30 Weeks:
"What names have you guys come up with?" Ikki said excitedly, bouncing up and down. Tenzin and his family had invited Korra, Mako, and Bolin over for dinner. The children were currently bouncing up and down in their seats acting extremely hyper, while Pema was serving everyone.
"Yes, I'm interested to know what names you have thought of." Tenzin repeated calmly ignoring the loud and rambunctious kids.
Korra looked to Mako shocked. He had the same surprised look upon his face. They had never talked about baby names. 'How could we forget to think of baby names?' their faces seemed to say to each other.
"Uh we haven't really decided yet." Mako sutured.
"Y-yeah, we like too many names. But we'll let you know as soon as we pick one." Korra added.
Later that night as Mako and Korra were getting ready for bed Mako watched Korra rub her belly.
"Can you believe we haven't even thought of names?" Korra asked
"I know. I've been so worried about making sure everything is ready for the baby, that names completely slipped my mind." Mako replied.
"So what names do like?" She asked as they crawled into bed and snuggled up together.
"For a boy or a girl?" Mako asked as he laid his hand upon her belly.
"Uhh… a boy."
"How about… Kaosu?" Mako asked. Korra scrunched up her nose.
"Ok ok!" Mako laughed. "Do you have anything better?"
"…No. Not really." Korra replied.
"Well I have a girl name." Mako said so softly that Korra almost didn't hear him.
"Ok, what is it?" Korra asked as she noticed the serious look on Mako's face.
"Mya." He whispered.
Korra smiled. "That's pretty. Where's it from?"
"It was my mother's name."
Korra gasped. "Mako." She whispered. Mako watched her with sad eyes.
"Is that ok?" He asked.
Korra turned to her side to see him better.
"It's perfect Mako." Korra answered. Mako smiled at her.
"Mya. We'll name her Mya." She said as she took his hands and placed them on her belly.
This chapter was really forced for me. I wanted them to discuss baby names but I couldn't get the story out on paper the way I wanted to. I'm also not too crazy about the name Mya. I like Mae but I didn't want people to think of Zuko's Moody girlfriend form ATLAB. I think Mako and Korra would have a girl first, but I didn't really want to force the readers into a gender. Together really has no implying of the gender and I like it better that way. I wanted to leave that up to the imagination of the readers. Oh and if you're wondering why Bolin was at the dinner but not Asami, that's because I picture her being whisked away by General Iroh the second. And they are living happily in the fire nation while Asami runs the Sato Company and Iroh continues to be a bad ass general. I also feel like I have way too many chapters where they are in bed. I don't know why I do that. But in hopes to fix that, this chapter got the boot. Thanks for reading, and let me know what you think.
