It would have been impossible for him not to recognize the voice... "Dad," he turned around and just as he suspected, standing in front of him were both his parents. "Mum..." she gave him a light smile is response. "What are you doing here?" he asks and Clove makes her way, standing next to him and he wraps his arm around her waist protectively.
"We couldn't miss our own sons wedding..." his mother says, a hint of an apologetic tone.
"Well you seemed fine with doing just that yesterday," Cato replies straight.
"Cato..." his mother sighs. "We came to tell you how sorry we are."
"Mum I want to believe you but..."
"It's alright," Clove cuts it and he looks down at her, shocked. "Do you mind of I talk to them for a moment?" she asks and Cato nods, growing more confused. Leaving his new wife behind, Cato leaves to join Clove's parents who smile and congratulate him warmly.
"Thank you dear..." Cato's mother tells her.
"Listen," she says sharply back. "I don't like the way you've been treating Cato. He won The Hunger Games and when he gets back all you do is treat him like garbage! You have no right to tell him what to do, he's strong enough to make he's own decisions and if those games weren't proof enough than I don't know what else to tell you."
"Clove, please," Cato's father steps in.
"Wait," she interrupts him again. " I just want you to know that I love your son... and I need him now more than ever."
His parents exchange glances before sighing and turning back to her. "You're right..." his father sighs. "We almost lost him."
"That's why we came today..." his mother says. "I don't think we've ever seen him as happy as he is when he's with you."
Clove smiles and glances over to Cato and her parents. "So does that mean all this fighting is over?" she asks at last.
"I think so," his mother smiles. "You look beautiful by the way sweetheart."
She thanks them and gives her new parents-in-law a hug, looking back over to Cato who smiles and nods thankfully.
"What did you do?" Cato asks with a smile as they walk back to victors village.
"Oh I just shows them my 'Clove Charm,'" she says with a giggle. "And I might have told them the truth... And what I really thought."
"Oh I don't know, your charm is pretty had to resist," Cato laughs, making Clove do the same. "No really... thank you."
"You're more than welcome," Clove smiles, kissing him quickly. When they reach the door of their house, Clove reaches for the door handle before Cato pulls her back.
"No, no, if we're going to do this, we're going to do it right!" He says, giving her a sly wink. She looks at him, confused, before being lifted into the air, lying I'm his arms.
"Cato!" he squeals, not able to control her laughter. "Cato, what are you doing!
Her dress flies over his arms and he kisses her full on the lips before opening the door and taking her inside.
"Okay, you can put me down now!" she laughs, pulling at his dress shirt.
"No not yet!" Cato teases, caring her up the stairs and into what would now be their shared bedroom. There, he lays her on the bed and climbs over next to her. "You are so beautiful..." he whispers into her hair, tickling her ear. "I love you."
"I love you..." she whispers back before his lips come crashing to hers in their most passionate kiss yet. This goes on for a while until he pulls the lace on her shoulder down, exposing her skin. She lets him kiss across her shoulders before finally placing her palm to his chest. "Cato no..."
He kisses we neck once more before looking up at her, confused. "What's wrong?" he asks.
"Nothing... I just," she stumbles to find the right words. "There's something I need to tell you."
Worried, he sits up and as follows. "Clove?" he edges her on as she continues to gaze anywhere but at him.
"You know how we always talked about getting married and starting a family?" she says eventually.
"Yeah and we're married aren't we?" Cato finishes.
"Well yes..." she lets out a light laugh. "It's just, the family part might come a little sooner than we expected."
For a moment he looks confused again before it finally hits him. His eyes widen and he gazes from her stomach to her nervous looking face. "You're..."
"Pregnant?" she finishes for him. "Mhmm..." she nods, biting her lip. His face scrunched up in thought like he can't decide how to feel. He crashes to the empty space on the bed next to him and states at the ceiling.
"Cato?" Clove says softly. "Cato, please say something...
Sorry for the cliffhanger! How do you think Cato should react?
I really hope you enjoyed that chapter; thank you all do much for reading! Please review :)
