"That's not what I meant!" Naruto is damn quick to decry, holding up one hand in a way that seems defensive more than placating. She might decide he deserves a punch. It isn't just Korra, but nearly all of the girls he's ever known. Say something ignorant, suffer the consequences.
"I didn't even -- I'm talking about plans." It's true. Sometimes he worries this is a problem he'll always run into with Korra, not that he loves her any less for it, or himself, for that matter. But he's so shit at communicating what he's thinking, sometimes; his eyes are too far-searching. "What do you want to do about everything else? Like, did you have any plans for this? Of course we're not getting rid of a baby. But she's gonna need a nursery. And someone's gonna have to be at home after she's born, and we both work, but you make more money than I do And we don't know anyone else with kids, at least I don't, so should we tell people? Do you want to tell people?"
