8 Months Pregnant with Twins
*2 weeks later*
My mother has been here for two weeks, and today is my babies' shower. My mother seemed to get everything together with in a week, and the inventions sent bye the end of the first week she was here.
Pretty much everyone in district 12 is coming. My mother really went all out. Our living room is filled with baby blue balloons, games to play, karaoke, and a really big cake that Peeta made. It looks really good..
It's 12 o'clock, and Haymitch, Effie, Greasy Sae, Annie and Finn are here, along with a lot more people. We decide to start playing a couple games.
First, we played a guessing game. Someone has to guess with a piece of string, how big my stomach is. Annie won. Then we played a nursery rhyme quiz. My mother was really good at that. By the time we were done with that game. There was a loud bang at the door. Peeta leaves me to answer the door.
"What are you doing here, bread boy?" Some guy yelled, and hushed the whole party.
"Gale, calm down." Gale! What on earth was he doing here? I ask Effie to help me get up so I could see what was happening. I walk down the hallway, and peek around the corner. He looked really mad. I don't think Gale knew about Me and Peeta being married, much less about our family.
"G-Gale? What are you doing here?" I say, still hiding behind the corner.
"It's okay, Katniss. Go back to the party. I'll take care of this." Peeta says.
"Party? What party? And why the hell wasn't I invited?" Gale screamed. I turn my head, and I can see everyone behind me looking at the scene that Gale created.
"I-I-It's my babies' shower." I say walking from behind the corner, exposing my swollen stomach, and Gale's face turns more red, with anger. He gasps, and just stares at me, with his jaw open with shock. He closes his mouth and runs to me. Throwing his hands on my stomach. Then the babies kick. Gale gasped in shock again, as if he was trying to prove I was lying about being pregnant. Rose and Mark run behind me, hugging my legs tightly. Peeta walks over to me and the children, to stand behind his family. Gale steps back, his hands shaking. He throws his hand in the air, only for it to land really hard on the table in the hallway.
"That is Mahogany!" Effie yelled behind my perfect growing family.
"What the hell Katniss!" Gale yelled in anger, ignoring Effie's outburst. "You told me you never wanted to have kids!" His eyes drop down to my left hand. "You said you never wanted to marry!" His eyes are growing with anger.
"I know, I said that. But I was 16 when I said that. We were living in a different world then. I was a different person then, Gale. You have to understand that. The Hunger Games, changed me. If it weren't for the reaping, I would have never fell in love with Peeta. That is why I married him a-"
"Bread boy, really?" He said in a quiet voice. Taking my hand in his, and pulling our hands to his chest.
"'Bread boy' has a name and his name is Peeta Mellark. He is a kind, brave and a handsome guy. And the guy that I married and had two children with and two on the way." I say, pulling my hand out from Gale's reach.
His face is unreadable. I would assume he is broken-hearted or angry, but mostly sad.
He's eyes leave mine and looks at my family.
"Why?" He asked. "Why, would you pick Peeta instead of me?"
"You really have to ask?"
He nods his head, and I take a deep breath.
"The reason why I picked Peeta instead of you, Gale. Is because, when I was little, I remember my father saying something to me, in case I was ever in this situation. He would always say 'If you are in love with two people. Always pick the second one.' It took me a little while to figure that out, but I did. He told me to pick the second person because if you were in love with the first person, you wouldn't have fell in love with the second person." I say looking into Gale's eyes. When I'm done with me little speech, I turned around to face Peeta. "And it will always be him." I say giving him a kiss on the check. Gale starts to walk towards me and Peeta. He looked like he could kill someone.
Haymitch started to walk forward.
"Hey, this is Katniss' and Peeta's babies' shower. If you don't have anything to give her. Then.. Get the hell out!" Haymitch yelled.
Gale took a minute to pull himself together, then started to walk out the front door. He turned his head to look at me and my family. "I'm sorry, and good luck with everything, Katniss." He says, actually meaning it. Before I could say anything, he has out the door, back to district 2.
