Mako comes into the hospital and walks to the front desk. He looks around the waiting room. It's very quiet. The walls are a pale blue. Navy blue chairs hold family members with sad faces, waiting to hear any news of their loved ones. As he waits to be attended to, a nurse comes up from behind him. He turns to see a small, grey haired woman with kind blue eyes.

Nurse-"You must be Mako. Kanari is in her room upstairs, I can take you to her."

Mako follows the nurse through the hospital. His nerves increase as they walk through the maze of sterile white hallways. After what seemed like forever, they arrive at her room.

Mako-"Thank you. How is she doing?"

Nurse-"Well, we did a full examination and the baby is fine."

Mako lets out a deep breath in relief.

Nurse-"She did have some bruising, though. But that will heal pretty quickly. We determined that she is 2 months along. You can take her home tomorrow morning."

Mako-"Well, thanks so much for all your help."

Nurse-"Your very welcome. Oh, and Mako."

Mako-"Yes?"

Nurse-"No more pro-bending for her for awhile."

Mako-"Will do."

Mako closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He then slowly turns the door handle to the room and peeks his head in. He smiles when he sees that Kanari is peacefully sleeping in her hospital bed. Flowers have already been sent to her. Her blonde hair has been released from her ponytail and she has shadows under her eyes. He walks in quietly trying not to disturb her, but, as he knows, she's a very light sleeper and wakes at the familiar sound of his footsteps. She looks around the room and her eyes meet his. His amber eyes are filled with worry as he waits for her to respond. Her eyes light up and a smile crosses her face. He's so relieved to see that she is happy. He walks over to her bed and sits on the edge. She takes his hand in hers and softly rubs her thumb over his knuckles. He loves it when she does that.

Mako-"Hey."

Kanari-"Hey."

Mako takes a deep breath and is about to talk when Kanari starts to cry.

Kanari-"I'm so, so, so, so sorry! I should have told you. I was going to, really. But I didn't know how, or when. I should have listened to you. I should have never walked back into the arena and put our baby in danger. Mako, I'm so sorry. Can you ever forgive me?"

She starts crying again. Mako wraps his arms around her and kisses her neck over and over. This calms her down and she rests her head on his chest, still sniffling a little bit.

Mako- "You have nothing to apologize for. You here now, with me. You and the baby are safe and healthy and there is nothing more that I could ask for."

Kanari-"You're the best boyfriend a girl could ever have. I love you so much."

Kanari bends her head around and give Mako a kiss. He looks into her brilliant eyes and brushes her bangs out of her face. He then softly runs his fingers down the side of her face and she blushes.

Mako-"That reminds me, I have one more thing to ask you while I'm here."

Mako releases his arms and stands up. He digs into his coat pocket and pulls out a small blue box topped with a white ribbon. Kanari gasps and puts her hands over her mouth in shock. He then kneels down on one knee and opens the box, reveling a gold ring with a simple green diamond in the center. Kanari starts to cry again, but Mako knows that this time it's tears of happiness.

Mako-"I know that in the Earthkingdom, it's custom to be given a hair piece. But here, in Republic City, we use a ring. Kanari, I can never imagine my life without you. And now that we have a baby on the way, I think it might be best if we take our relationship to the next step. So, will you marry me?"

Kanari-"Yes, yes Mako I will marry you!"

Kanari smiles and gets out of her bed. Mako smiles as well. He then stands up and picks her up and spins her around. She giggles and he sets her back on the ground. He then gives her a long kiss.

Mako-"So, when do you want to get married?"

Kanari-"Soon, before the baby. We can get married and let the press eat that up. And not to far after that, I'll be showing so they will be all over that too. I want the wedding to be small, just family and close friends."

Mako-"Sounds wonderful. We can go apartment hunting tomorrow. But first, you need some sleep."

Kanari-"Mako, will you please stay here with me?"

Mako-"Of course I will."

Kanari and Mako both get into the bed. Mako wraps his arm around Kanari and she gives him a goodnight kiss. After such a long day, they both doze off into sleep with ease.
