Catra's POV:

I finished eating my fruit bowl a couple minutes after Raleigh left. My mind whirled as I thought about Adora. Will she hate me? I missed a month of her and my baby's life. I left her alone. Shes going to hate me. I just know it. I sighed, looking down at my hand. My eyes widened when I saw blood on it before I blinked and saw that it was fine.

What the hell...? I shake my head and laid back against the bed. I sighed, feeling a bit of pain in my nub and used the same technique Raleigh used earlier to relieve the ache there. I was so focused on the pain that I had realized that the door opened.

"Baby...?"

My eyes widened as I looked up, my eyes brimming with tears as I carefully slipped my legs over my bed and limped over to Adora. I was a step away when my leg gave out on me, and I was about to be sent falling to the ground before I was enveloped in warm and loving arms. "Be careful Catra! You couldve hurt yourself", Adora scolds holding onto me like I was her lifeline.

I chuckled and buried my head into her shoulder, feeling guilt and sadness take over me. I shuddered shakily and cried, " Im sorry A-Adora! Im so so sorry! I-I left you alone for a m-month. Im sorry". I was pushed back a bit, before Adora hooked her finger under my chin and tilted it up. "Dont cry baby. Its ok. Im here now. You're here now. Its not your fault my love. Im just glad you're here with me. Now. ", Adora said warmly pressing a tender kiss to my lips.

I sighed and held onto her tighter before Bow,Iroh, and Colossus walked in behind Adora. I smiled, pulling back and let Adora walk me to the bed as I lifted myself up with my left arm.  Adora slid onto the bed after me, carefully positioning her body on mine without leaning on my nub or any more of my injuries.

"You bitch you told us you would come back to us safely", Bow cries tears rolling down his cheek in streams. I sighed and said, "I know Bow, im sorry". Bow sighed and ran over, hugging the living hell out of me. I chuckle, patting his back and coughed out, "Ok bro, ease up mate". Bow gasped and jumped back and rambled worriedly, "Oh my gosh! Im so so sorry! Did I hurt you?! Holy shit I hurt you! Im so sorry! I didnt mean to! Im sorry! What hurts? Are you okay? Obviously not if I hurt you! Stupid. Stupid. Stupid".

My eyes widened and I grabbed the pacing boy's arm once he got in my arm's length and stopped him and said sternly, "Bow. Stop. you didnt hurt me ok?". Bow sighed in relief and said, "Really?! Ok thats good!". I chuckled and flicked the boy's nose.

————————————————————————

"So how do you feel about being royalty your highness?", Adora teases poking my cheek. I turn my head and playfully bite her finger making her gasp, and giggle before taking her finger out of my mouth. I chuckle and say, "I don't know, but that would make you my queen babe". Adora's eyes widened comically in realization making Iroh, Colossus, Bow, and I burst into laughter.

Adora pouted and turned away from me, crossing her arms over her chest. I smirked, turning to her and grabbed her chin and turned her face back towards me and pressed my lips softly against hers in a chaste kiss. Adora sighed against my lips before pulling back and pressing her forehead against mine. "Dont frown my dear, you'll get wrinkles. I'll love you either way but I fall in love a thousand times more each time you show me that beautiful megawatt smile", I coo softly against her lips. Adora immediately smiled and pressed a soft kiss to my lips and whispered, "I love it when you're all soft and lovey baby".  I smirked and pulled back, pressing a kiss to the tip of her nose and saying, "Only for you Adora, only for you".

"Awhhhhhh!"

"You two are the cutest damn couple out there, where the fuck is Crystela"

"Honestly, you two kiddos are perfect for each other"

"Yeah, you're lucky Lord kitten, I wouldve taken her myself if you didn't propose. She really is something"

"Colossus watch it mate, I may have lost an arm but I still have enough strength to send you into next year"

"Calm down kitty I got my own girl"

"Damn right you do"

"Anyways- back to Catra and Adora..."

"That was the cutest fucking shit I've ever witnessed"

"IM GOING TO CRY AGAIN! FUCK YOU TWO!"

"Kid, you and your queen are going to be the model couple for all the kids", Iroh says a small smile playing on his face. I smile and let Adora wrap her arms around my back and hips, holding me close as I laid my head on her chest. "Thanks old man, how's Rosé?", I said with a cheeky smile as I wiggled my brows. Iroh chuckled and said smugly, "Lets just say she couldn't get out of bed to see you for a reason". My face scrunched up in disgust as we all fake gagged and heaved.

"Holy fucking christ tha- anywhoo"

"Damn old man, I wouldnt think your ass would be able to move your hips that fast"

"Honestly.. you're so old I bet your bible was signed by jesus himself"

"AHHHHHHHH NOOOOOO"

"Damn- y'all aint gotta do Iroh like that"

"Its ok Adora, he kinda asked for it"

"Yea u right babe"

"Anywhoooooooo I wouldnt think you'd be able to cum. Is it ash that comes outta there or..?"

"Its the ash as cum for me"

"NOOOOOOO not the ash Bow!", I exclaim with a chuckle before we all burst into intense fits of laughter. Even Iroh himself started laughing his ass off.

We spent almost an hour laughing our ass off before the door was practically kicked in revealing a pissed off Glimmer, Crystela, and Rosé. Adora and I looked at eachother before we both gulped and chuckled nervously.

"H-Hey Glim-"

"BITCH NO ONE TOLD US YOUR BITCH ASS WAS AWAKE?!", Glimmer scolds interrupting me completely. Bow chuckled nervously, stood up and walked towards his fiancée nervously and said, "Y-You said you wanted to sleep babe... so I let you sleep". Glimmer huffed and deflated, running over to me and practically jumping on me, wrapping me into an emotional hug.

I blinked up at Adora who only shrugged, a small smile on her face as I used my only hand to rub her back gently as she cried into my shoulder. This hurts, Im not going to lie but she's in her feels right now and I have a reason its because of the fact I couldve died so she needs this comfort. I grit my teeth as I felt a sharp pain shoot up my sides and up to my nub, and something warm but I decided not to pay attention to it and continued soothing my best friend.

"W-We thought we lost you. God damn Catra. Y-You don't know the panic and sheer fear we all f-felt. Please. Please. Pleasseeee dont ever do anything like that again. You scared me you stubborn son of a bitch. But im glad you're somewhat okay. That you're here. Now. Breathing", Glimmer rasps into my shoulder her voice hoarse from the sobs that left her mouth. I sighed, as I went to say something my eyes widened as I let out a sharp gasp and pulled back from her and grasped my nub.

Glimmer jumped back, her eyes widening in horror as she and Adora exclaimed, " Catra! You're bleeding!". I groaned, squeezing my eyes shut and clutched my nub as red stained my robe and hand. My chest started hurting and it became hard to breathe, the pain in my arm well what used to be my arm growing unbearable. Jesus! What is this?! Whats going on? Why does it hurt so DAMN MUCH?! I-I cant breathe. M-My chest. My vision became blurry as I fell back onto the bed, gasping for air. The only thing I heard was Adora and Glimmers' voice yelling: "Doctor! We need a doctor!". Before everything went black.
