Two months pass keeping them on a steady routine: Go to school, sit through classes, go to softball or cheer practice, train for BOA, go to late night family classes, have dinner, sex every other day, then bed, nothing too exciting. In all this time, however, Mako has yet to talk to Korra. He finally reconciled with Asami shortly after their breakup, but he still accuses Korra of being the reason to their break-up. Korra does blame herself and accepts his cold shoulder as her punishment, she feels like she deserves worse, and only hopes one day soon they can repair the damage. Both Asami and Korra's parents have arrived back home from their trips. The entire water tribe, now aware of Korra's future children from her parents bragging, are already planning parties and gifts to the parents-to-be. Asami's parents remained oblivious to her condition, even though her stomach has started to swell. Her stomach is not as large as it could be, but large enough that her normal tight wardrobe has been replaced with some baggier clothes for the time being. Korra had to move out the day before her parents came home, but luckily she's had the support of Korra's parents with having a place to stay when the suppressants and the ache of being separate was too much to bear. Asami was always very careful, she always had a large supply of suppressants hidden away, and made sure to put her nest away before going anywhere to lower her chances of getting caught.

Asami lays in her nest smelling the pillows and blankets, not having Korra stay with her every night is pure agony. Sometimes, Korra either makes excuses to stay over, or she will sneak into the mansion in the middle of the night to be with Asami. Deciding to get ready for bed Asami takes a long hot shower. Drowning out the outside world, the shower like a warm massage washing away the stress. She comes out feeling refreshed, entering her room where an uncalculated surprise is waiting for her.

"Mom!?"

"Asami...what's going on, your bed... and your scent...," Her mother looks her in the eyes, "are you pregnant?!"

"Mom... please don't hate me." Asami clinches her eyes shut hoping this is a terrible dream. She was nowhere near ready for her parents to know about her situation.

"Oh, honey." Yasuko pulls Asami in for a back crushing hug.

"Wha-" Asami looks at her mother to see tears streaming down her face.

"Asami, I am so happy."

"How are you not mad?"

"Asami, this is a blessing! I prayed that I would one day be a grandmother, our family has fertility problems, it took so many tries and so many medicines and effort until we finally had you. I was so worried you would have to go through the same. Get dressed and tell me all about the baby, I want to know everything!"

Asami gets dressed in shorts and a hoodie, when she is finished changing in the bathroom, she walks back into her room her mom waiting anxiously. Asami sits next to her mother who hugs her close.

"Tell me everything, who's the Sire? Gender? Everything."

"I'm having twins-"

"TWINS!? Oh my, that is amazing!"

"It runs in her family."

"It does? So that means..."

"Yeah, Korra is the Sire."

"Oh finally!! You two have danced circles around each other for way too long. If you ask me you two were always best for each other."

"Thanks mom." Asami says with a big smile, before reaching in a night stand to pull out a recent picture of the twins. "This is for you."

"Oh they are so small, I remember when you were this small. This is so amazing." Her mom smiles at the picture.

"What happened to the boy you were dating? Mako?"
