Let Me Go and Don't Try to Fix Me
"Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello I am the lie living for you so you can hide"
Chapter Five : Let Me Go
"Here in the darkness I know myself.
Can't break free until I let it go.
Let me go."
Six days later
Air Temple Island
Korra's Room:
She lied. Korra wasn't leaving, she just couldn't let her friends (namely a certain firebender) know about her pregnancy. Really, it was her parents leaving the South Pole to see her rather than her leaving to the South pole. Yesterday, Korra boarded a ship leaving for the Southern Water Tribe,she had to let people watch her leave so they would know that she gone. Only, once everyone was out of sight did Korra swim back to Air Temple Island. Tenzin didn't like her swimming, but it had to be done. Korra had to keep up the ruse. She was to far in the lie she had spun, but she could not tear down her facade.
She was about two months around and her on her bell was a little bump. Her little Cookie Monster was growing. "Who knew something this small, could change my whole life." Instead of her pale blue sleeveless top Korra always wore, she pulled on a dark blue, baggy top the hide her bump. Three days, Korra help the rest of her friends move out into their new apartments in the City. She told them that Tenzin manged to find jobs for them, Asami would take over the Future Industries, Mako would join Lin Beifong's police force and Bolin would take over the Fire Ferrets and everything would work out perfectly. Everyone would move on with their lives. Or so she thought. Bolin questioned her sudden "leave", Asami tried to change her mind, and Mako talked to her. Korra closes as she relives the memory...
Korra had just finished helping everyone unload their things into their new homes. She was just about to leave when a gloved hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a secluded part of the corridor. It was Mako's hand.
"What are you doing?" His eyes were cold and hard, wall blocking his true feelings.
"What? I'm not," she raised her hand and made quotation marks in air, " 'doing' anything Mako."
"Your hiding something, it's written all over your face." His voice was cool and calculating. "And if I am?" she said; her voice just as icy as his. Their faces were close together and their eyes shooting daggers at the other. Korra adds her feeling of loneliness and sadness were turning into anger when she adds, "Not like YOU would care." She turned swiftly and walked away, before Mako could see the tears streaming down her face. Because secretly, Korra wanted Mako to care for her. She wanted his help, to help her not go through this alone.
It was hard for Korra, lying to her closest friends. Another memory hits her, it's recent; only yesterday...
Bolin was helping carry all of Korea's bags when he asked her, "Kor are you okay? Because I felt another heartbeat near your's. Do you have a heart problem?" Soon he was rambling on about how Korra should see a healer and why she didn't tell them and then Korra blurt's out,
"I'm pregnant not sick!" she slaps her hands over her month in shock and stares wide-eyed at Bolin.
"Mako's the father right?" For some reason, Bolin was calm, as if he knew about it before she had told him.
She nods, still shocked that she blurted it out like that.
"Korra, it's okay... I wouldn't tell him. Earthbender promise." He embraces her and Korra's glad that she has somebody who really does care. "Promise to send a letter, I want to know my nephew is doing"
"I promise, " and she chokes out the last part, "I think you meant niece." Korra hugs him again, I'll miss you Bolin."
"I'll miss you too." Is his reply.
She only hoped her parents would accept her.
Pressing her cold hands against her warm forehead, Korra sunk back down in the mattress. She prayed to the Water Spirits, Tui and La, that her parents wouldn't abandon her not when she needed them most. "Not like Mako unknowingly did..." Korra chastised herself, she had to stop thinking like that. She was breaking herself down, and she couldn't allow that to happen. Not to her, not to her baby. Korra stood up and bended water over her face. The coolness of the liquid soothed her face and relaxed. She let the water fall back into the basin as she remembered that awful moment when water would not move for her. She hated that day. It felt like a part of her soul was torn out, like a part of her very being was gone, lost forever. It terrified her. But now, Korra didn't think much of her bending. She couldn't, not when she was pregnant with a child that the father didn't know about. Not now, when her parents were coming. She rested her head on the door, after breathing in and out (using meditation techniques Tenzin taught her) Korra relaxed herself and stepped out of the door. She was ready to meet her parents.
...Time Skip...
Outside, Korra stood inline with the Airbending Famliy. After Amon's defeat and Korra's regain of her bending, she deiced to stay with Tenzin while her parents left Republic City. But then Korra sent her parents a letter. She didn't tell them of her pregnancy, but she told them that it was urgent and they needed to come right away. Her parents wrote back saying that they were on their way. And Korra was scared, she felt even more terrified then when she told Tenzin of her pregnancy. The ship docked in the harbor and her parents walked on Air Temple Island. She ran toward her parents and hugged them, they smelled of roasted seal jerky with a light touch of cold ocean sea spray.
The days events were a blur. Not a hazy one where Korra was out of it, no it was like, … Korra searched for a word to describe it, "It's like when I was little, and I had so much fun with Naga that I didn't notice any time ad pasted. That's what it is." They talked and caught up over delicious food, a mix of custom Water Tribe and Air Nomad food. Tenzin was the only one who didn't eat the stewed Sea Prunes, while Korra's Father ,Tonraq, complained that there was too many vegetables. Ikki however, gave him all the details on Air Temple Island. (Tonraq was shocked on how a little girl could talk so fast.)
Just when as the sun was beginning its journey down, Korra knew it was time to tell her parents about her child. They were still at the table,and diner had just finished eating when Korra spoke,
"Mom, Dad I have something to tell you both..." Ikki and Meelo Ooh'd and Jinora sighed in annoyance and went back to reading her book. Korra had already told them about her pregnancy, Jinora was finding books for her (which Korra was very, very thankful for), Ikki was ecstatic and asked many questions, Meelo was indifferent and wondered if she would get as big as Pema, and Rohan; he just gurgled happily.
"Korra, what is it?" Her mother asked, her eyes full of worry.
Pema whispered softly to Tonraq and Senna, "Now don't get mad, just listen." Pema turned to Korra, "I think it would be best to start at the beginning. Tell them about Mako and Asami and then, tell them about..." she trailed on.
"Well um..." Korra licked her lips nervously and wiped her sweaty palms on her pants.
She took a breath and began to explain how she liked Mako and how he was dating Asami.
"And this is important because...?" Tonraq asked in confusion.
"I'm pregnant and Mako's the father." Korra blurted and then regretting she said it as her father passed out from shock.
Republic City
Mako's New Apartment
"Well," Mako thought bitterly, " That did not go according to plan." He had invited Asami to come over for dinner and it when downhill from there. Long story short, he and Asami broke up. She claimed that she just was interested in him any more and she wanted to be friends. But the fight they had before the broke up was explosive. And now, Mako had no one. Korra was gone, Asami was ignoring him, and even Bolin was pulling away from Mako. Bolin was hiding something and it must be something important because he could barely look Mako in the eye. Usually, Bolin would cave and tell Mako it in a day or two, but he wouldn't budge. It had to have something to do with Korra, but the only thing Bolin said was something their mother, Anica, would say "Dreams are merely memories that were forgotten and came back to help us." Mako didn't get what Bolin had meant by that, but he would get to the end of it.
