sorry it's so short. please R&R

"Lin, can you please look after Rohan for a few hours? I have to go to an urgent council meeting." Asked Tenzin, following the mother of his children around the police station, baby bag on one arm, actual baby in the other.

"Tez, I have to lead a raid, grade the new recruits, and I have a tonne of paperwork." She handed some papers to an officer passing by, as she headed to the airship currently waiting for her on the roof.

"Well I can't take him with me and you refuse to let him be cared for by an acolyte while the kids are at school!"

The sound of snoring interrupted their argument. They turned to find Mako happily asleep at his desk. They gave each other a knowing smirk. Tenzin slammed the baby bag onto the young man's desk, startling him awake. "Wha- what's going on?"

"Congratulations sergeant, you just scored the position of baby watcher." She said, pushing her son into Mako's arms. The doors to the office opened to reveal the Avatar. "And here's your backup." Tenzin and Lin walked out the door as though this was natural.

Korra walked up to her boyfriend, "what was that about?"

"Well, it would appear I just scored us baby duty." Korra let out a laugh "please tell me you aren't laughing at the word duty." This caused another banter of laughter from the Avatar.

"Sorry." Rohan began to cry in Mako's arms. "You need a hand there Mr. Hat Trick?"

"No no, I got this." He stood up swaying side to side, this caused the baby to cry louder.

"Maybe he has a dirty diaper?" she supplied.

Mako felt Rohan's diaper to find it empty. "Maybe he's gassy?" Lifting the baby to his shoulder he patted the boys back, nothing happened. "I think he's hungry."

"Well milk bags just walked out of here." Korra gestured to the door Lin walked out of, not five minutes ago.

"Check the bag."

Korra rummaged through the baby bag, summoning a bottle of milk in triumph. "What now?"

"Warm it up a little."

"How?" said Korra, inspecting the bottle as though it were from another planet.

"Said the Avatar to the firebender."

Letting out an embarrassed laugh, she heated her hands to warm up the bottle to room temperature. "Here you go."

"Thanks." Taking the bottle, Mako began to feed the four month old.

"You know, some of us find it really sexy when we see our men acting fatherly. How do you think Tenzin got Beifong to agree to have four kids?"

Mako thought about this. "Well, word has it that her mother challenged her to a drinking contest on the first three pregnancies."

"I bet she got drunk on purpose. Milk bags doesn't do anything she doesn't want to, even when drunk."

Mako gave his girlfriend a pointed look. "You know, I'm seriously thinking about telling the Chief that you call her milk bags."

Korra let out a gasp. "You wouldn't dare. Not if you want to kiss me again."

"You make a valid argument." A moment passed while Mako finished feeding Rohan. "Do you want to hold him?"

"Gimmie!" He placed the now sleeping baby in her waiting arms. "Naaaaaaaw, he's so soft and squishy."

"You know, some of us men find it very sexy when their girlfriends have a baby in their arms."

"Well aren't you a charmer. You know, I really want one." She said looking at the baby in her arms.

"A baby?"

" No, a police office." Korra said sarcastically, "yes a baby."

Mako stood next to Korra, pulling her into a sidewards hug. " I think I could get on board with that," he whispered in her ear.
