Chapter 3
Enjoy ;)

Korra stared at Mako. Is he happy? Korra asked herself. " Korra, I've asked you a question." Mako said, obviously getting annoyed. "Um...sure. I'm just gonna put Raye down for his nap first though." Korra told him. She quickly made her way past her irritated husband and towards her babbling, growing son. "Raye, you wanna take a nap?" Korra asked the child who was busy throwing a boomerang. He dropped the toy and stared at her. "But-but-but it's my birthday! No naps! No!" Raye's eyes got watery. "No nap!" He yelled as he stood up and started to run. Korra thought quickly and sent a gush of wind at him, picking him up and drifting him towards his momma. "GOTCHA!" She yelled as she tickled the young boy. "NO NO NAPPINGS! NO NO! STOP IT! NO NO!" Raye yelled in between out bursts of laughter. Korra carried him to his room, which still had hints of paint on the walls, and laid him down on his bed. " Hey, Raye... You don't have to take a nap, but I want you to lay down here for a few minutes. Okay? I'll come get you when times up, okay?" Korra said as she tucked his small body into the teeny bed. "You promise you'll come get me?" He asked, looking exhausted. "Yes, baby. Now close your eyes so daddy doesn't come in here with his belt!" Korra warned the kid. "They're closed! I'm closing them! They're closed! See?" Raye closed his eyes and Korra kissed his head. "Happy birthday angel. " she whispered as she left the room.

Reluctantly, Korra made her way towards the living room. When Makos mad, NOTHING good happens. Ever. Period. Korra turned into the room and saw Mako with his elbows resting on his knees, while his hands covered his eyes. "Mako, what is it?" She asked, making herself move next to him and wrapping her arm through his. Mako looked up at her from his hands. His face was red but his eyes were emotionless. "Why'd you tell everyone about your pregnancy when I didn't even know? And when your going to have to go through abortion?" He asked, seriously. "Abortion? What makes you think I'm going to have my child aborted?" Korra asked, shocked that those words came from her Makos mouth. " Korra, we can't afford another child. We will go hungry, lose the house, won't be able to get new clothing, and won't be able to afford Raye's education. Korra, I'm thinking about Raye and You. I love you both too much to have that happen." He said, sincerely. Korra's eyes teared up. " Mako, the city is still paying me for stopping Amon and the equalists, I have my job at the water- bending diner, and you've got you job, too. I am really looking forward to having this child. Raye won't be lonely now when we have company over, he will have a friend to play with and someone to tell his secrets to. Mako I want this so bad!" Korra was near yelling. Mako couldn't help it and he steamed up. Without thinking, he bubbled over. " Korra, don't be stupid! Ugh! Your always like that! Your too stubborn to listen to reason! You need to hear me out!" His hands were flaming up. "Mako, I -" "No Korra, you need to listen! You can't just think everything will be fine! I don't care if your the avatar or not!" Mako grabbed Korra's shoulders without a thought. "You have to think about what's best for us!" Mako yelled, getting emotional himself. "Mako- aaah! Stop! PLEASE!" Korra smacked mako with her hands set aflame. Mako grabbed his cheek in shock then looked across the room at the sobbing Korra. He noticed her shoulders had blackened, bleeding hand prints on them. His hand prints. " oh my spirits. Korra, I didn't realize... Oh... Dammit Mako! Control yourself! " he yelled and screamed. He met Korra's gaze. "Korra, I'm sorry." He said, truly meaning it. Korra looked at her shoulders, flinched, then stood up. "I'm sorry this isn't what you wanted but eve since I met you, I could see us falling in love and starting a family. I thought you felt it too." She said as she left the room. Mako felt his own eyes tear up. God dammit mako! ?$& !?%#|€¥! He cursed himself out and finally stopped when Korra walked back into the room with Raye in one hand and a suit case in the other. " Look, Mako, I love you but you've got to figure out what it is you want. Until then, I'll be at my parents." Korra said without making eye-contact with him. "Is daddy in time-out?" Raye asked Korra. "For a shot time baby." She replied and made her way out towards Naga.

Mako sat in that chair for the rest of the day. I'm an idiot. I ruined something beautiful. I need to do something about this. Mako kept telling himself. Finally, around 10 that night, Mako walked to the window and looked at the stars. Slowly, he let out a sigh. "I wish we could start over. " he whispered and closed his eyes. Out of nowhere, a huge headache took advantage of him. "Really? Now of all times?" He asked no one in particular. Mako made his way to the bedroom, thinking some rest will make the pain end.
Little did he know, it was just the beginning.
