Mako walks through the door of his new apartment, well, their new apartment. Sprits, he loved the sound of that. Bolin and Korra, who are carrying boxes, then fallow him. He looks around the empty living room. The apartment was in the center of the city, on the top floor of a high rise. Kanari had happily sold her vacation house and apartment to pay for it. Also, Mako got a job at the power plant to help with the bills. Kanari's parents also helped them out by paying for the furniture as a wedding present. The great room had a large fireplace on one wall. Sunlight flowed in from 3 large French doors that open to a balcony that over looks the city. They would defiantly have to baby prof the place, he thought. The kitchen was the reason Kanari fell in love with it. It was right off the living room so she could see everyone. It had marble floors, granite counter tops, and the latest in kitchen appliances. It had 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. All where large and had big windows. Mako turned to see Kanari come in, smiling and carrying a box. He sets his box down and runs over to take the box from her.
Mako-"Kanari! You know you shouldn't be carrying heavy things like that."
Kanari rolled her eyes and laughed at him. He had been way to protective of her lately. She knew that there wasn't anything she could say to make him hold back.
Kanari-"Mako, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me anymore."
Mako- "I know. I just don't want you or the baby to get hurt. I love you and that baby and I don't want to lose either one of you."
She walked over to him after he set down the box and they kissed. She stood there with Mako's arm around her waist, taking in the beauty of their new home. Korra and Bolin came back inside with more boxes and set them down.
Korra-"This is a really nice place you two got."
Bolin-"Yeah, maybe you could have me over for dinner sometime."
Mako-"Bolin!"
Bolin-"What? I'm a growing guy, I need food. Kanari is the best cook I know!"
Kanari-"Yes, Bolin. You can come over any time you want. I would be more than happy to cook for you."
Bolin-"Thanks Kanari. So, when do you two think the wedding will be?"
Mako-"Next month, September 16."
Bolin-"That's the same day Mom and Dad got married! Mako, Kanari, that's perfect!"
Kanari-"I thought you would like that. I want this wedding to be special. Just family and close friends at the ceremony and then a dinner afterwards."
Korra-"Where are you going to have it?"
Mako-"Well, we really hadn't thought of it much yet."
Korra-"What about Airtemple Island? You could have it in the garden and then go to the center court yard for dinner and dancing."
Kanari can no long handle her excitement and goes and hugs Korra. Korra is a little surprised by this but she had grown to like Kanari and hugs her back. The night Kanari was in the hospital, the nurse had told her that if Korra hadn't had been there to use her healing abilities on Kanari, the baby could have died. This made Korra one of Kanari's new best friends and she accepted the role. They had been out to lunch a few times and she even helped her buy some things for the apartment. Korra was also one of the few people who Kanari could talk to about the pregnancy, something that Mako would never understand.
Kanari-"That would be amazing!"
The sun was setting and all of the boxes and furniture had been brought in. Mako lit the fireplace so there was a warm glow to the apartment. Kanari was in the kitchen cooking dinner with Korra helping her while Mako and Bolin where talking in the living room about an upcoming pro bending match. Luckily, the refs called the match Kanari got hurt in a tie so the team could continue to play in the tournament.
Kanari-"Thank you so much Korra, for everything. You have been such a great friend lately."
Korra-"Your welcome. If there's anything I can do to help, just give me a call."
Bolin gets out of his seat and goes over to the kitchen. He sets his empty glass down and goes to get his and Korra's coats.
Bolin-"Well, Korra and I need to get going."
Kanari-"Going? Where to?"
Korra-"Well, Bolin and I actually have a date tonight."
Korra blushed and turned to see Kanari grinning at her.
Kanari-"Really? Then we don't want to keep you any longer. You two have fun!"
Mako-"But not too much fun, Kanari and I kind of found that out the hard way."
Bolin-"Mako!"
Kanari-"Bye Bolin, Korra. Thanks for helping."
Bolin and Korra leave. Kanari walks over to the couch where Mako was sitting and hands him his dinner. He places the plate on the coffee table and then wraps his arms around her and she rests her head on his chest. Mako kisses the top of her head.
Mako-"You're going to be a great mother."
Kanari-"You're going to be a great father."
Mako-"Do you think the baby will be a bender?"
Kanari-"I hadn't thought of it. It could be."
Mako-"Well my Mother was an earthbender and my Father was a firebender, just like us."
Kanari-"My Mother is a waterbender and my Father is an earthbender."
Mako-"So it could be a water, earth, or firebender."
Kanari-"It docent matter what the baby is or what type of bender it is. All I want is for it to have 10 fingers and 10 toes and be perfectly healthy."
Mako-"I couldn't have said it any better myself."
They eat their dinner together on the couch. Mako puts out the fire and then helps Kanari clean the dinner dishes. When they are done they get ready for bed. Mako comes back from taking his shower and joins his future wife in their new bed. He gives Kanari a good night kiss.
Kanari-"Mako."
Mako-"Yeah?"
Kanari-"Everything's going to be alright now, isn't it?"
Mako-"Everything is going to be absolutely perfect."
Author's note: They now have an apartment! Also, Bolin and Korra are dating! The next chapter will be the wedding! I might not do the whole wedding though. That would take way too long. It's also the first time Mako will meet Kanari's parents, who live in the Earthkingdom. Don't forget to review weather you want the baby to be a girl or boy. One, two, or three. Name? Also, I'm going on vacation for a week so I won't be updating until after I get back. Sorry! Thanks for reading!
