Pregnant
Mako winces as he gets out of bed.
He was absolutely sore all over from his heat.
Korra and Asami had to go to a meeting so he was alone right now.
The omega’s hand covers the two claim marks on his neck.
Mako flinches as his fingers touch the sensitive skin.
He could still feel lingering pain from when the two alpha’s had bit him.
Suddenly, Mako remembers why they had done it.
He rushes into the kitchen and quickly mixes together some herbs and chemicals.
The omega takes a knife and cuts a shallow cut into his palm.
He takes a drop of blood from his cut and drops it into the vile.
Mako’s hand flys up to cover his mouth in shock.
The vile filled with clear potion turns into a vibrant pink and Mako feels his heart stop.
This was an ancient technique used by angels and demons both to check for pregnancy.
You make a clear potion then add a drop of blood.
The potion will turn a light blue for male omega, medium blue for male beta, and dark blue for male alpha.
It also turns light pink for female omega, medium pink for female beta, and dark pink for female alpha.
If there are twins or more, it will make levels with different colors.
If you aren’t pregnant, the potion will remain clear with no change.
But Mako’s was a dark pink.
‘At least there’s only one kid,’ Mako’s mind helpfully supplies.
Lack of air makes the omega’s head spin.
He needed to tell someone but couldn’t tell Asami or Korra yet.
He was scared.
What if she turns out to be an angel?
Would they kill her?
Abandon her?
Or worse, try to change her by using the ceremonial demonifying?
Mako feels bile rise in his throat at the thought.
Demonifying was when you drew several different ancient symbols out of the blood of the angel child’s demon parents.
Then you would put your child in the deepest volcano of hell and if they are strong enough, they would turn into demons after a week of excruciating pain.
If they weren’t strong enough, they turned into ghosts and half formed monsters that are sent to roam the earth.
Mako feels a panic attack coming so he runs out of his room and out of the palace.
He tears through the gardens to the stables.
The second he throws open the door, Naga jumps up.
The ice dragon seems to sense his oncoming panic and envelops the omega in her wings.
The ice dragon’s cool temperatures calms Mako down almost immediately.
“Naga, I’m pregnant,” Mako whispers.
The dragon freezes.
Naga moves away and nuzzles his stomach.
Her black eyes light up with joy and Mako knows she understood what he was saying and can feel the baby.
“Mako? What are you doing?” A voice says from the door.
Mako turns around and sees Korra and Asami standing in the doorway.
Naga coos and nudges Mako’s stomach.
Mako freezes.
Asami’s jaw drops as she figures out what’s happening.
“Mako,” Korra asks, sounding choked.
Mako opens and closes his mouth, not knowing how to respond.
“Are you-” Asami starts to ask only to be cut off.
“I’m pregnant,” Mako blurts out.
Korra faints.
