Hey! Why didnt anyone share their input. I'm not mad i'm just saying lol. Well here's chapter 10. Most of you were so mad after you read chapter nine it made me laugh haha. okay, well here's the next part, i wont keep you waiting. this chapter will be only in Peeta's POV. P.S the computer im using only has wordpad :( so this chapter will be lowercased and misspelled, i can fix it, im just too lazy. Dont judge me hehe. OKay! enjoy.
it would be the act of a regular person to leave, after finding out all of this. i am truly heart broken but that doesnt change the fact that i love her. she was forced, threatened. she never wanted to do any of that, ever. i cant blame her for something that wasnt her fault, it wouldnt be right. i can choose to leave her but then i would be leaving my daughter, i would be leaving everything i know, just because i was upset. my father used to tell me, some things just arent worth getting mad over. i know i shouldnt be mad at katnss for what she's done, but at the same time i feel like i need to just shout at her and kill gale for doing this to her. i just want to get this anger off of my chest.
katniss's eyes are overflowing with tears. "maybe thats what i should do" i say. "but i wont, im not, i cant" i rush to her i hold her to me as i finish my sentence, "i never will, i- i promise" i say and hold her with both hands as tightly as i can. my face burried in her tangled hair. i close my eyes and let my tears flow.
i dont care what katniss has done, it wasnt her fault, she's not getting blamed for this, i will never blame her. "peeta is was four years ago" she cries looking up at me. "i know, i know love, it's okay" i say kissing her head. i sway her back and fourth gently and soon celine comes and squeezes between us to join the hug. i clutch my girls and hold them both. "im not mad at you katniss, i'm not. i'm gonna handle this okay, i'll take care of gale". i want to kill him, im a victor, an experienced killer, but then again Gale is a hunter...what am i saying. i want to kill him for what he's done but i couldnt. thats beneath me.
as if on cue the door opens and Gale walks in. when he sees us he stops. i look up at him and stare him down. katniss looks at him and becomes afraid. she looks at me and i assure her everything is fine. i kiss her cheek and get up. my anger boils and im pretty sure my face is a dark red. i wanna hurt him for what he's done, i want to avenge my wife. i walk over to gale, my hands cleched into fists. i get closer and closer and before i can stop myself i punch him right in his face, making his nose bleed. he doesnt fight back at first, instead he holds his hand to his face, watching the blood drip on the floor. i curse at him. he looks at me surprised and it's not long before he decideds to throw a punch back, hitting me square in the jaw.
we fight, throwing the hardest punches we can, blood flying, cursing,death threatens. "haymitch! they're fighting" Katniss screams. haymitch comes flying down the stairs and breaks us apart with knives facing towards the both of us. "now unless you want to get stabbed i suggest you stay back" haymitch threatens. i back away, Gale keeps his eye on me.
celine runs to me afraid. she wraps her arms around my good leg, it's the highest she can reach. i wipe the blood from my mouth and pick up my daughter. she hugs me tightly and i rub her back gently. she whines in my shoulder, terrified. i calm her and give her to Katniss.
oh the joy my child brings me, all of my anger has dissapeared but as soon as i turn and see Gale it returns. "what the hell gale! what's wrong with you" i shout at him. he doesnt answer. he just keeps staring me down,"why do you keep putting your hands on my wife, and think your going to get away with it. why do you think you have the right to touch her" i scream. he still doesnt answer, rather he looks over at katniss who is comforting our child, and looking purposely away from gale. i see his eyes drift downward a little. i turn and see Katniss, her chest a little exposed.
"uggh you son of a bitch" i scream and run at him, i punch him in his gut and he falls to his knees. i continue punching, kicking, choking if i'm able. haymitch doesnt hold me back, instead he goes to katniss and tells her to take celine upstairs and for both of them to stay up there. "take some birth control pills sweetheart when you get up there" he tries to whisper in her ear. "okay" she says quietly, takes celines hand and stands up. the blanket falls off of her, she has on a robe but it's still incredibly attracting. i find myself staring, and then i catch gale doing it to, and it only makes me madder.
celine looks back at me, tears in her eyes as she goes up the steps, two feet on each stair. once they're out of sight haymitch breaks us up. forecfully pushing me off of gale and holding me back. i hadnt noticed that gale is acting perfectly calm.
"why do you do this stuff to her. answer me!" i command. gale takes an impatient breath, "it's not fair that you get to have her. i've known her since she was twelve, we were supposed to end up together. she would be with me if it weren't for the games. she wouldnt care about you if it weren't for the games" he says. "she doesnt want you Gale just deal with it. you want her so badly but you sit here, harming her. your only pushing her farther away. it's your fault so dont go blaming me for your mistakes." i say strictly.
he looks disturbed. i dont want him near here, near me, or Katniss and definately not Celine. "leave Gale" i say. "go back to district two and stay there, you only cause problems. i dont want you here and if you ever touch Katniss or our child i swear to god i will kill you in the most brutal way thinkable" i say stiffly. he swallows and haymitch leads him out of the door. "ill send you your belongings through the mail" i say and turn my back as he's taken out. "go die in a hole" i say to myself. the door shuts.
finally, he's gone. he's gone now and he'll never come back. he'd better not come back. he's smart enough to know better than to come back. i go up the stairs and into our bedroom where katniss is with our beloved daughter. i hug them both with my life.
"you dont have to worry anymore. he's gone. he's not coming back" i say in my loves ear. she nods, then cries. i hold her, for hours and soon celine falls asleep. i tuck her under the blanket and continue holding katniss. stoking her arm, kissing her head. She doesnt even bother crying, all she's doing is deeply sighing, clutching my shirt tighter by the minute.
after what seems likee forever, she falls asleep. i manage to get us under the blanket next to our child. i kiss celine's head and then katniss's. i go to sleep with my arms protectively around my girls. i refuse to let harm come to them.
almost a year later
daddy can i go to work with you, Celine asks, yes baby go get your shoes on, i reply. she runs off to go get her shoes. katniss is on the couch, hunched over in pain. she's been getting alot of abdomenal pains. we dont know what's wrong with her, her body shows no sign that anything is wrong.
i go over to her and put my arm over her comfortingly. i rub her back . "are you okay" i whisper. she lets out a groan, a gasp, sucks in a breath and sits up. i gently rub her stomach. "want me to get you some water" i offer. she nods gratefully and i do it for her.
i hand her a glass of water. she pulls out a pill, a birth control pill and takes it with the water, then swallows the rest.
i dont like to see her take those pills. she told me that she wanted another baby, but then he came and messed it up for us. now she wont let me touch her...not seductively is what i mean. im not mad at her for choosing to keep to herself, i know it's hard for her so i dont say anything, i keep it to myself but i really do want another baby, i want another one so bad.
"celine's coming to work with me today, you can come along, but Haymitch said that he needed some help cooking if you want to help" i say sweetly. "i'll just stay here, get some rest" she says. i nod my head, "okay". i hold her head to my shoulder and kiss the top of her head. "i love you" i say. "i love you too" she says and looks up at me. i kiss her and stroke her hair gently.
i try to be as gentle as i can with her. even though it was about a year ago, the incident with Gale, we like to call it has her still traumatized, Celine as well, she witnessed both of her parents get the blood beaten out of them by the same person. she'll remember it for the rest of her life.
celine comes back downstairs with her shoes and jacket on. it's march and it's still chilly out. my daughter is now five, almost six. her birthday is during june. "alright go ahead and take a nap, have some tea, i'll bring back some stuff" i say in a low calming voice. she nods and looks at me again. i hug her tightly, "i'll see you in a few hours". "okay" she says. i get up and pick up Celine. we ;eave out and when we get on the porch i hoist her up onto my shoulders. i carry her like this all the time.
she uses my head as a drum and makes a very nice beat. we walk through the district. she has outgrown her shy personality and likes to wave at the people we walk past, people she's familiar with seeing.
we get to the bakery and open up. for hours she helps me bake, pouring flour and powder, passing me the rolling pin, helping me flatten the dough, accidently leaving little handprints in the dough. she helps me cut the dough into strips and twist and bend them into pretzels, ice up cupcakes and mix the batter for bread. i put the raw dough in the oven to bake and we begin on the next order. daddy can we make pizza she asks me. i laugh. after we finish this order okay i reply, she nods and helps me with the next order.
when when all orders are filled i sell them, then celine and i head out to go pick up some supplies. we need tomatoe sauce, cheese, pepperoni... we have all of that at home. we have to make the pizza at home okay. all the stuff to make it is there, i tell her. she nods and holds her arms up. i pick her up and set her on my shoulders.
she grips my hair and acts as if she's driving a plane and i play along, with my arms outstretched, making moter noises, running around different ways. rory comes running towards us from the direction of the victors villiage. "peeta, you have to get back home now!" i take celine off of my shoulders and carry her in my arms. "why whats happening" i ask urgently, speed walking. "it's katniss, she's having a baby!" and with that i run, i run at top speed, holding my daughter tightly so i dont drop her.
katniss is having a baby! but how is that even possible! she couldnt have been pregnant. rory is behind me and soon we make it back to our house. i run through the door and hear Katniss screaming. i rush up the steps calling her name. we enter the bedroom and i see hazelle comforting katniss. i put celine down and go over to katniss.
"im sorry Peeta i didnt know, i didnt know i swear" she cries. "i know, i know shh" i say getting on my knees to comfortingly stroke her hair. she's screaming and crying. i look to hazelle for an explaination. "she's pregnant, she's been pregnant for nine months and now this baby is on it's way out now!" she says.
how could she have been pregnant all this time and no one knew. i know it wasnt apparent but still. "katniss your fully dialated this baby is coming get ready" hazelle instructs. katniss cries.
celine comes over to me. whats happening daddy she asks, mommy's having a baby i reply. celines face lights up and she shows a big toothy smile, with one in the front missing. she claps and hugs me the gently kisses her mother on the cheek.
"katniss the babies crowning keep pushing!". she does what she's told. i slip my hand into hers and hold on tightly. i lean in and kiss her temple. "dont worry, it's gonna be okay" i assure her. she looks up at me, her beautiful gray eyes surrounded by red. "im here, i'll help you get through this." i promise her.
i hold her hand as she gives birth and celine stands next to hazelle watching as the baby makes it's appearence. katniss's face is red, sweat dripping off of her face. she looks how she did when she gave birth to Celine. pretty soon there is crying and Hazelle takes the baby in her arms. celine stares at it wide eyed and flinches when the umbilical chord is snipped.
"it's a boy" hazelle says handing the baby to katniss in a blu blanket. "oh, my precious baby boy" she says. i look at the baby. deep gray eyes, olive skin...black straight hair...
...Katniss has just given birth to Gale's baby.
