He made his way back to the dressing room and walked straight to the bench still in a daze. He sat down with his elbows on his knees, hands over his face. Korra and Mako look at each other trying to determine who will ask him. Korra then takes a deep breath and breaks the silence.
Korra- "So, what did they say?"
Great now he had to tell Korra, who hated Kanari, and Bolin, who really didn't need anything else to complicate his life any further. How was he going to tell them? He could lie, but they would defiantly find out later. Ugh, he will just tell them now to save trouble.
Mako- "Kanari, she's...she's."
Bolin- "She's what, just spit it out bro."
He takes in a deep breath and shuts his eyes. He sighs.
Mako- "She's pregnant."
Mako sits and prepares himself for impact. Bolin and Korra stare at each other in disbelieve. They knew that Mako and Kanari were madly in love and all, but they had no idea that they went that far together.
Bolin- "Well, didn't see that one coming."
Korra- "Mako, you…you IDIOT! Do you know what you have done!"
Mako- "Yes Korra, I know! Ugh! How could I be so stupid!"
Bolin- "So, if you don't mind me asking, when did this happen exactly?"
Mako- "Ember Island."
Korra- "What?"
Mako- "Well she was so pretty, and so amazing, and the sun was setting, and we shared a room, and I don't know it just happened."
Korra- "You mean you only dated her for a few days and then you just, ugh! You know Mako, not only could she be hurt, but the baby could die! And we could lose the tournament, and what if the press finds put about this? It's gonna be all over the newspapers! Then what are you going to do!"
Mako's frustrations boils over him and he stands up and stomps over to Korra.
Mako- "You know, you never did like Kanari. Even before we dated. Your just jealous!"
Korra- "Jealous! Of who? Your pregnant girlfriend! You know you have been such a jerk lately! Ugh! I'm, I'm going home!"
Mako- "Good!"
Korra- "Good!"
Mako- "Fine!"
Korra- "FINE!"
She walks out and slams the door behind her in anger, causing the room to shake. Mako throws his hands up in frustration and goes back to the bench, head back in his hands. Bolin comes over and sits beside him. He puts a contorting hand on his older brothers shoulder. Mako looks up at his brother. Mako's eyes are red, filled with worry, and on the brink of tears.
Bolin- "Don't listen to her. You will get through this and everything will go back to normal."
Mako- "No Bo. It's never going back to normal. I'm going to be a father now. I have to get a job, a real one. And where are we going to stay? She can't just stay in the apartment with us, that is if she will even still talk to me. Also how his this going to effect the team? Your team captain is now basically gone because he's some love struck, selfish, idiot who got his teenage girlfriend knocked up right before her career finally took off! Ugh, I'm so stupid!"
Bolin- "No your not. You will have no problem getting a job. You two can buy your own place and if you need any more money I will help out. I'm sure Kanari has some money. I mean, she's got that vacation house right? Just take it easy. You're going to be a great dad. I mean, you basically raised me and I turned out pretty good, right?"
Mako- "Yeah I guess so. Wow, I'm gonna be a father, I can't even believe this. I've been thinking about this all wrong! This baby isn't some nuisance, it's a living example of our love and I going to do whatever it takes to keep Kanari and the baby safe."
Bolin-"You do that bro. But you might wanna go see her and talk to her."
Mako-"Alright, thanks Bo."
Mako gives his brother a hug before getting up and leaving to go to the hospital.
