"She looks just like you," Gale murmurs as he wraps his arms around Madge's waist. Their daughter, now 5, chases their dog around District 12. They moved back after the war was over on request. The two had wanted to stay in District 2.
"But she has your eyes," Madge replies thoughtfully.
"She smiles like you," he notes with a laugh.
"She's strong minded like you," Madge replies, turning to her husband and pressing a quick kiss to his lips. "Never gives up." She thinks back to the night he ran through the houses that went up in blazes, the bombs falling over head, just to get to her. Just to save her.
"Well what about Ace?" Gale glances toward their 3 year son who sits on the porch blowing bubbles. "He's like you…"
"He's a spitting image of you," Madge laughs. Dark hair, dark skin, most likely to mess around with the girls when he gets older. Already charming the shop workers into free lollipops and all.
"But he's such a Momma's boy," Gale laughs too, kissing her gently. "What about this one?" he asks, his hand traveling to her stomach. "Who do you think she'll be like?" Their third child was on the way and neither could be more excited. They were working toward that huge family they had both always wanted.
"Hopefully both," Madge sighs as Gale nuzzles into her neck. "That way we won't have to play the favorite parent game…"
"You're just mad I'm always favorite parent," Gale teases as he nips at her collarbone. "It's okay Madge, you'll always be my favorite."
"How reassuring," she rolls her eyes, pushing her husband out toward their daughter in the field. "Dinner in an hour," she calls over her shoulder.
"Wouldn't miss it!" he calls back. Madge grins and sits on the steps next to her son, messing with his tussled hair.
"You and Daddy are silly, Momma," Ace grins, handing her a bubble stick.
"No, you and Daisy are silly," she teases back, blowing a bubble in his face. Ace blows it away before it reaches him.
"It's because we all love each other!" he giggles. "Right?"
"Exactly, Ace," Madge grins. "And I wouldn't have it any other way."
