Chapter two – Seeking Advice

Korra couldn't get any sleep that night. All she thought about all night was the constant worry of telling Mako what had happened between her and Tahno the night they had broke up. All night she was tossing and turning and acting out the conversation of what she would say to Mako when she saw him in her head. She just could not get it out of her mind, no mater how hard she tried to clear her mind to sleep, the reminder of her holding that positive test in her hand earlier today kept creeping in to her mind, like an infectious disease.

She decided to get up and grab breakfast; so far she had no morning sickness yet, in fact, she has had no pregnancy symptoms so far, the only way she knew she was pregnant was because of the missed period, and the thirteen positive tests she took yesterday, But of course sooner or later the symptoms would kick in.

Korra opened the cupboard that revealed a few dried biscuits and some apples, she had forgotten to go and do some groceries which weren't like her to forget something as important as food, she thought maybe she will go and grab a few things while she's out seeing Asami today. She grabbed the ripest apple there was before closing the almost empty cupboard, and then went to freshen up and then tell Jinora she was going out to grab some food.

Jinora had been staying a few days with Korra in her and Mako's apartment while Mako was away on duty in Omashu. Her and Jinora had gotten quite close over the years when they first met, even though Jinora was way younger then Korra herself, Korra had always thought of Jinora as her sister, as she had no siblings ever in her life. Even Ikki, Meelo and Rohan were considered to be her siblings too. She had always enjoyed spending time with the air bender kids and considered them all to be part of her family.

Korra knocked on the door of the spare room in which Jinora was sleeping.

"I'm just going out to get some food, there is like no food at all in the cupboard, so if you're hungry right now I can give you some money to go and get some noodles or something from a shop? I shouldn't be that long though, moneys on the counter in the kitchen if you need it, also don't forget to lock up if you go out."

Jinora raised her head from the pillow.

"Thanks, I'll probably go home and eat any way, I probably should be going home now, I've been here for a week now so I think Mom and Dad would want me home for a while. Thanks for letting me stay here Korra; it was nice spending time with you, even though yesterday isn't what we both expected."

Korra smirked. "No thank you, come back any time, I'm glad you stayed. And remember, not a word to any one, got it?"

She nodded. Korra then walked out of the bed room. "See you later Jinora! Come back anytime"

She arrived at the Sato mansion, such a beautiful building, surrounded by the most amazing trees and plants, she was kind of jealous that Asami has something as beautiful as this, She began to think if she decided to keep the baby, where would she go? Where she lived now isn't exactly the best place to have a screaming baby, there would be so many noise complaints by the neighbours that lived just wall thickness away, and if the baby were Tahno's she would face the same predicament.

She knocked on the door to have Asami's butler answer it.

"Ah Avatar Korra, we weren't expecting you today. Please come in, shall I tell Asami that you are here?"

"Ahh yes please. If she's not too busy." Her eyes stayed in contact with his, as she smiled slightly.

"Please take a seat and I will go get her for you." The butler bowed and whooshed away leaving the 21 year old Avatar in the foyer.

Asami was of course very busy with her life right now. She was married to General Iroh and had two kids already, twin boys in fact and on top of that she was still running future industries with ease. Korra felt like there may be no better help and advice than that of Asami's. She might be able to help her more than anyone right now.

"Korra? What brings you here?! It's good to see you! It's been a few weeks!" Asami's voice echoed through the gigantic foyer of the Sato mansion. Before Korra could explain her sudden drop in, Asami had already glomped her, hugging her tightly.

"Hey Asami, how are you? How are the kids?"

"Oh they're great, there sleeping right now, and I'm fine! What's been going on with you? How are you?"

"Ha-ha well you know… I'm okay I guess." She said very unconvincingly.

Asami raised her eye brow; she was of course not buying the Avatar's lie.

"What's wrong? What has happened? Have you and Mako had another one of those silly arguments again?"

"Well... Not yet. We might later…" Korra said.

"Well what's wrong? You can tell me Korra! I'm your best friend, you can trust me!" she reached for Korra and placed her hand on her shoulder, she was so gentle in her movements and her voice, Korra loved that about Asami, how gentle and loving she was towards people. She was absolute mother material. Something Korra could not see her self being.

"Asami… What I'm about to tell you might come as a shock... so here it goes…" Korra took a deep breath, and closed her eyes, Asami looked at her with great concern, and she looked like she was preparing for the worst. Korra then opened her eyes and let out that deep breath and blurted out those words that made her feel so uncomfortable.

"I'm Pregnant."

Silence was all that filled the foyer now. Korra was growing more and more uncomfortable by the second, when suddenly a huge smile came across Asami's face.

"Oh my god!" She shouted.

"Congratulations Korra! I'm so happy for you!" She hugged Korra so tightly that Korra began to turn red from the contact.

"I am so excited! How far along are you?! What do you hope it is?! Does Mako know yet?!" She was literally jumping around at the news; Korra never expected this to be Asami's reaction.

"Asami please just listen to me for a second before you get ahead of yourself! Mako doesn't know yet!" she had both arms on Asami's shoulders keeping her from jumping up and down.

"Well then we need to ring Mako and tell him the good news! He is going to be so ecstatic! I just know it!" She tried to break free from the grasp Korra had on her when Korra jilted her back towards her.

"NO! Asami! I'm not finished! Mako doesn't know because…" her eyes looked away from her.

"Because what? What's wrong?"

"Because I'm not so sure that it is Mako's baby.."
