You don't understand Iroh. My world crumbled. Everyone I loved or held dear became enraged with me or disgusted by what I had done. And I can't blame them. Even afterward I continued to hide behind my pregnancy in order to save myself. The guilt and shame is something I live with every day. Along with the images of their faces as they found out what really happened.
And than you swooped in. The little boy who's garden I snuck into when I was small was now grown into handsome and honorable man. Out of all the people in this world the one who actually knew my birth name appears!  Who knows all the secrets I keep. And my little tells when I'm trying to hide them. The only man who actually treated me like a friend and a person. The man that taught it was all right to stand for something when I thought it was needed. Someone who was very precious to me and that I thought I would never see again. The first person I cried for. Crashed back into my life and rescued me.

You took me into your care. Hide me away from the world and treated like a woman. When I deserved to treated worse than scum in the eyes of anyone. You gave me to your grandfather to be watched over. He treated me like his own. Than my son came into this world and you cared for him as well. When he cries you take him in your arms without hesitation. If he needs something you get it despite what you are doing. If I ache you comfort me. You took this family in and made it your own. While asking nothing of me in return.

You became the man of my world Iroh. The visits you do every morning, the time you play with my son, and when we have your wonderful tea together. I've found that I have come to need them all. And I miss you during the time apart. But I know in the back of my mind that this time is limited. I'm only here because of the arrest and your stepping in. And I know that when my sentence ends so will this lifestyle. Though I still have a dream. A shred of hope that maybe after all the dust clears and things get sorted out that maybe my son can still visit you. If not as the man dear in his life than as an example of a good man you are and have been.  So I can't be selfish anymore. I can't follow the urges that caused so much pain again. Because this time it isn't people I grew to know over a couple years or months it is my son; and everything that could be for him. I could not stand myself if I hurt the men precious to me again.
All rightie, here we are again! This time is a little different but similar to before. So here is the story~

Omara was pregnant when things to a head with Amon. But because she was a well known former agent of his Omara agreed to go into custody after Korra dealt with him. She thought it would be something Beifong would over see since she had worked with for a while. Little did she know an old friend was in town and didn't want to let her out his sights again. But staying with a woman while she is pregnant and than with her newborn causes a lot of emotions. This is Omara's side of it.

~ Ok. I don't know how I would have Iroh respond to this yet. So don't ask what I'm going to have them do! >.< (Though I will take suggestions.) And the title image is fast computer sketch I did of Iroh, Omara and her son.

General Iroh is from Legend of Korra
