I planned to take Jen out on a walk behind the electrical fence, but Peeta refused saying that it was too dangerous. He said, "I don't want to risk losing either of you." I know he was being sweet when he said that, but I really wanted to show Jen the same view my father showed me during my childhood. Sure, she's a little young- but I'd protect her.
So that's how Peeta, Jen, and I ended up visiting the bakery owned by Peeta's family. They decided to make the shop even bigger than it used to be, so when you walk in there is a place to sit to eat your pastries. If this bakery were in the capitol, they would probably have window seats looking over the beautiful view- but we're in district 12, not the capitol. There's a big difference. We ordered bread with tomato and basil. Jen did not like it very much, which was ironic- since her middle name is Basil. She must hate tomatoes.
We were just heading back, when I spotted Gale jumping over the fence. He'd have the same reaction seeing Jen and I, as I had when Peeta had her. Even though he knew that I loved Peeta, I didn't want to hurt him. I decided to walk a little faster.
While I was walking, I almost dropped Jen. Oh yeah, almost forgot about her. Maybe I could greet Gale without showing the baby. I give Jen to Peeta, and I walk over to Gale.
"Hey," he says casually.
"Um... Hey." This is awkward... Say something already!
"So, what's with the baby? I didn't know you two loved each other that much." My first reaction was crap! The baby! But his voice- that was full of jealousy- pissed me off.
"I know you're jealous, but you have no right to judge my relationship with Peeta! I hate you!"
I took Jen back and held her tightly in my hands. And with that, I stormed off with Peeta while half-crying.
