64 - Family

A/N:Short, but kinda funny and sweet-ish. 9th in the Makorra family-verse.

Bolin is surprised to find Korra standing outside with a basket of wet clothes, hanging them piece-by-piece on a rope stretched between two trees and using a combination of air, water, and firebending to dry them.

"Uh, Korra?"

"What?" she snaps, letting out a particularly forceful blast of air.

"What are you doing?"

"Laundry."

"But…you don't do laundry."

"I do when I'm on house arrest," she responds harshly, biting out the last two words.

"House arrest? Who in the world has the power or the authority to put you, the almighty Avatar, on house arrest?"

"Apparently, my husband," she informs him with as much venom in her voice as she can muster.

"Mako? Why would Mako put you on house arrest?"

"The idiot thinks that I'm pregnant again."

"Are you?" the metalbender asks excitedly.

"No! Of course not!" Korra assures him hurriedly. "It was just a stomach bug. And even if I were pregnant, I swear to the Spirits it would be Mako pushing the kid out. I told him before the twins were born that I am not having any more kids!"

Bolin sighs; having a big family was more trouble than it was worth some days.
