Chapter 1-Gale Katniss' POV
I heard a knock at the door. I put Her in her bed and shouted to Peeta to put Him in his crib. I opened the door, anxious to who is there. We rarely have visitors, and when we do, it's normally on the weekends, not late on Thursday nights. To my surprise Gale was standing there. I stood in shock, speechless. "Catnip," he softly said through a grin. I heard Peeta come down the stairs and I could tell he was standing behind me. I could feel his soft breathing on my neck, and I knew he was as shocked as I was. "Gale," I started to say. "What are you doing here? I thought you, I don't even know." "Catnip. I thought I'd say hi to my girl. My first girl." I couldn't believe he was here. I didn't think he was dead, but I didn't necessarily think he was alive. "Gale, it's nice to see you," Peeta started to exclaim. He couldn't quite finish, which surprised me since he's always been so good with words. "Katniss, Peeta. I just wanted to say goodbye. I have a girlfriend now. We have a little one on the way, so we thought it would be best to explore somewhere new. Somewhere that wasn't once Panem. It hurts thinking about all of the memories I have here." "Gale, I don't know what to say. There's a world outside of here?" Peeta questioned. I couldn't take this in right now.
Is it possible I'm jealous? Of what? I already have Peeta and my own two little ones. No, I can't think about this. I walked upstairs to see Him and Her. I call for Her, "Rue! Come downstairs." I named her Rue, because I saw Rues eyes in her. Right when she was handed to me, I knew that was the right name. I was going to name her Penelope, but I couldn't. I saw her come trotting down the hall to me. "Hi mommy. who's downstairs." "Come with me, we can go meet who your brother was named after." We walked downstairs, to find Gale putting Peeta in a headlock. "Run upstairs Rue! GALE! LET GO OF HIM! And leave!" Gale released and showed a quick flash of sorrow. You can tell he wanted time to explain, but I wouldn't let him. He put my fiance in a headlock. Yes, Peeta and I haven't gotten married yet. We're waiting to see if we want another child, so all three can attend the wedding. As Gale started to leave I went to bring Peeta some water, until I realized Peeta was crying. And all he was saying is "He should have her. He should have her. He should have her." I dropped the water, realizing how Gale had a needle in hand, and he injected it, completely brainwashing Peeta again.
