Author's Notes:

I hope you guys like this update… might explain him a little bit better. Ish?

Sighing softly Korra pushed her bowl away from her, although there was still some remaining she felt completely full. She groaned softly as she rubbed at the underside of her belly. The warm soup had spread through her and filled her with warmth. Spring was there but the cool breeze had Korra shivering until she devoured her soup. Looking at Amon she raised her brow, "Have I eaten enough for your standards?"

Nodding he stood up and pulled out a few yuans, placing the bills on the table he held out a hand to her, "I'm not trying to be a bother Korra but we don't want the baby malnourished."

Rolling her eyes she took his hand and stood up, annoyed by his comments, "You don't even know what you are talking about, you haven't been near any healers when I'm there." She grabbed the bags that were filled with the shirt and toy as she moved in the direction of city hall. The walk wasn't far and it was nice to be able to get the exercise considering Tenzin had decided she shouldn't do too much bending while in the early stages of pregnancy.

Chuckling softy he followed her as many eyes followed him, his position next to her as she lead the way to city hall. She looked glowing as she was allowed to walk to their destination, clearly she was being contained with her condition and although he agreed with Tenzin's decision the exercise seemed to be good for her. As she walked he couldn't help but monitor her system with the baby. The moment he knew she was pregnant he was constantly feeling for her body and her blood flow, the baby, and her own health. He wanted their child to be healthy, a paranoid feeling sweeping over him every time Korra and him were apart, feelings that something was wrong with her or the baby. Although he preferred to check the child thoroughly with his hand against her stomach, the time they spent together he felt their child slowly develop within her, as well as her body's reactions. He knew she needed to eat more and her breasts ached from growth.

Moments passed as they stepped closer to town hall, his eyes scanning around them, glares in their direction, photographs being taken, as well as a few smiling softly, his mind scanning her body for any ill effects of the exercise. Stepping up to the back of city hall Korra lead the way in, knowingly walking to Tenzin's office. She turned to Amon before entering the room "Please don't go all caveman on me. Especially around Tenzin, I'm a grown woman and I don't need you telling me how to act while pregnant in front of my mentor."

Raising his brows behind his mask he nodded briefly, "I'm not going to beat around the bush Korra, if he influences how you eat and act I'm going to tell him what you need."

Shaking her head as frustration showed on her face she stepped into the room, the father of her child following her silently. Tenzin looked up and smiled at Korra, relief washing through him, he had been concerned for her since Pema had called and told her of the couple's excursion. Looking to the man behind Korra he raised a brow and then nodded, he understood why he took Korra out but it didn't stop Tenzin from worrying about her, considering he had formerly captured her for two months.

Standing up Tenzin smiled at Korra briefly and then turned to Amon, "Are you planning on a speech during the press conference or shall we just make the announcement?"

Pausing for a moment Amon thought for a second and then nodded, "I would like to speak briefly."

Nodding Tenzin looked at Korra with a worried brow, "Are you ready Korra? It is in a few minutes."

Nodding seriously she crossed her arms over her chest, "I'm fine Tenzin, lets get this over with."

Nodding Tenzin lead the way out to the front doorway where the stage and lectern had been set up.

Stepping out onto the podium Tenzin coughed softly before the microphones, "People of Republic City, we know that many citizens have been in fear for the last few months. The council has been uprooted, harmed, and scared as well. The Avatar has experienced the same fear that many of you have experienced. Today that changes. The anti-bending revolution ends today. After close discussion with the leader of the group, Amon we have called a truce." Tenzin sighed softly as he looked out at the crowds of people, "Violence isn't the right option, in collaboration with the council it has been decided that the two leaders of the revolution, Amon and his lieutenant will join the council in hopes of a more equal future for the City."

Tenzin stepped back and waved to Amon allowing the daunting mask to take place at the lectern, "It has also been decided that crimes will be now tried by a communal jury that changes on a weekly basis. If jurors know people involved in said crimes they are taken off the case. This is hopeful to have better punishments that are less bending bias. In addition to that there will be free classes taught to all to defend oneself against any abuse whether it be by benders or not." He paused for a moment and then sighed looking out to the reporters and crowd, "I know many don't like me. Benders and non-benders alike feel betrayed by both myself and the council, but equality needs to be achieved and creating more of a war will not help." He paused and the nodded behind the mask, "Thank you."

Turning away he stepped back, holding his hand out he stepped beside Korra and held her hand. His covered face next to her's he growled softly in his ear, "You might want to smile, this is suppose to be a good press conference."

Inhaling quickly at the contact between them, his hand moving to rest on her waist she smiled to the cameras and looked at him with a raised brow. Shaking her head she smiled at the crowd and followed Tenzin in after the other councilmembers left the stage.
