The Adoption Process

Asami

Korra and I walked back to where Mako was waiting.

"Okay, Mako. We've decided to take Cordelia with us. We're going to try to adopt her." I said.

"Are you sure? The government might shut you down because you're not married yet and because some of them are, well..." Mako replied.

"Homophobic? Yeah, we know. And we talked about the whole 'not married' thing." Korra said with a slight smile.

"Okay then. I'll back you up in that, then." Lin said, walking in with Cordelia at that time. She set her down, and Cordelia ran over and hugged Korra's leg.

"See you later Chief, Mako." Korra said, walking outside. I picked up Cordelia and followed. Once we were all situated in the car, with Korra in the driver's seat, she said to me, 
"Now that we plan to adopt Cordelia, we should really start planning for the wedding." 

"Yeah, we should." I said. "We can start when we get home." It turned out that we couldn't start right away, because one of us had to keep an eye on Cordelia. As we sat down in my dad's old study, Korra had to grab Cordelia to prevent her from leaving the room and wandering the house.

"She's going to be handful." Korra commented, laughing.

"Yeah. But you'll be a great mom. So, summer or fall wedding?" I asked.

"Fall, so people aren't really hot during the ceremony." Korra answered.

"Should we have a theme?" I asked, contemplating a few ideas.

"I'm not sure. You have any ideas?" Korra responded.

"What about one of the four element?"

"Not fire." Korra said, quickly and firmly.

"Yeah." I agreed, thinking about how my mom was killed my a firebender. "Though it would look really cool."

"Okay, we'll think about it. I don't really like the idea of air or earth." Korra said, thinking.

"Okay, that leaves us with fire and water." I said.

"Maybe we should do something like a combination of water and maybe mechanics..." Korra said.

"Why don't we wait a little bit to think about themes. Let's spend some time with Cordelia." I said, looking around the study. "Korra, where is Cordelia?"

"She was right here." Korra said, gesturing right next to her.

"We need to split up and search. She can't have gone very far." I said. "You take the top floor, and I'll take the ground floor."

"Alright." Korra then rushed out of the room. A few seconds later, I heard her pounding up the stairs. I exited the study and walked towards the rooms at the front of the house. 

"Cordelia! Where are you?" I called. Just then, I heard a crash on the stairs. I ran over, and saw Cordelia standing next to Korra, who was lying on her back at the foot of the stairs.

"Ow." she said, standing up and brushing herself off.

"What happened?" I questioned.

"I was looking around upstairs, and I saw Cordelia at the top of the stairs. I ran over to her, but I tripped on something, and I fell down the stairs. Cordelia then walked down the stairs.

"Momma!" Cordelia cried, running over and hugging Korra.

"D-Did you hear that?" Korra said happily, stooping over to hug her.
