Heyy it's the magnificent OpalStars! I really hope you like my story so far. I know you guys tell me I'm going a little too fast, so I'll slow it down it a bit. This is a shorter chapter, so beware. Here's a quick recap of what happened so far...
SPOILER ALERT!
1. Rory finally told Prim how he feels about her
2. died
3. Prim and Rory tell Katniss and Peeta
4. Prory fluff!
5. Katniss tells Prim she's pregnant
6. Katniss tells Peeta she's pregnant
Rory's Point of View
We just said our good byes to Katniss and Peeta this morning. They stayed over last night after dinner and left as soon as they could because Peeta just couldn't contain his excitement. He says he wants to start the nursery right now. Prim didn't want them to leave, she started crying which kind of made me start crying but... We'll never speak of that again!
With her sister getting pregnant, I want a baby of my own too. Not just coming over to their house once in a while and babysitting him or her, but a baby that I can call mine. I can clearly tell Prim won't mind bearing a child or two. By my mother's rule, I cannot under any condition, start a family before I am married. I must be married and mature enough to support another living being. We both have stable jobs, a roof and four walls, we love each other so much, it;s just that she's not my wife
We've only been together for about a year. I don't know if I should mention it now or just wait. I'm really confused. Man up Rory, just tell her.
She's reading in the living room right now. I walk over and take a seat next to her. Without disturbing her I lift her up and place her on my lap. I lean back and snake my arms against her waist. My palms are flat on her ribs. Her back pressed to my chest. She molds to my body like a puzzle piece. Her feet flat on the ground. Her head rests on my shoulder right under my chin. She doesn't say anything because I do this all the time and she knows I'll just tell her to continue reading. I kiss the top of her head and snuggle my cheek against her soft hair.
I think she's done reading because she stretches her arm to the table, grabbing her bookmark. Prim places it in the book where she left off. It's then set aside where her bookmark once was. She yawns and plops back down onto me. Her head on my chest this time. I tighten my arms around her and pull her closer. If I even can pull her closer.
"What are you thinking?" she asks me, not looking at me, but at the wall.
"Just... us" I say
"Oh really. Funny, I was thinking the same thing!" she responds
"Just about how we've been together for a year now. How we live together and... our new niece or nephew." I calmly tell her
"Yeah, I can't wait till she's born!" she gushes
"We can take care of her, buy her- Wait did you say her?" I ask in amazement. Katniss and Peeta don't even know the sex of their baby.
"Yup! It WILL be a girl! I can sense it." she says eyes looking up at me
"Yes, Ms. I-can-predict-the-future!" I say loudly
"Trust me it is!" she says without a doubt
She cuddles closer to me. Now I'm deep in the cushions of the couch. So deep that nobody sits this way when they casually sit on a sofa. Unless they're weird like that. However, I fiddle with her hair, braiding it, the way Posy taught me, because evidently randomly twirling hair doesn't count as a braid. Posy was shocked to know that I don't braid my own hair, so she made sure I could do it to her's. She always made me do her hair before I left for school, in a pony-tail then a braid. Prim's hair is so soft. It shines in the light, and straight as can be.
"Hey Rory?" she asks so kind and quietly
"Yes baby" I say
"Don't you want a child?" she asks. I'm telling you, we're perfect for each other. She can read my mind, I even think she did.
"Yeah, really, really, badly." I say with a bunch of emotion
"Me too" she tells me, her voice saddening
"Don't worry. We'll have one when we want one." I say
"But I want one now." she starts
"I do too, babe." I say gently
"Then let's make one!" she says surely
"But... my mother's rule is that I can't have kids till I'm married" I tell her
"Then marry me." she offers
"It's only been a year." I say.
Out of no where she gets up. She stands and looks down at me directly at my pupils. There's tears in her eyes and lips set tight. Her features give me a look, that I know means she's in pain. Quickly she turns around aiming for the stairs. Her feet stomp loudly on the wooden floor. I figure out what she wants to do and sprint to her. I'm too late because she's up the steps. I start for the stairs and race up them. My feet plop onto the second level of our house. Unfortunatly, I'm two seconds off. My chest is pressed against the door of our bedroom being closed, I hear the lock click from the inside. Cries reverberate off the walls.
I left you guys with a little bit of a cliffhanger, but don't worry the next chapter is being typed RIGHT now! So don't go anywhere! Even though I'm mega busy, I'd still appreciate it if you sent me some reviews. Just click on your keyboard! ;)
