Just to let you know this fanfic is nearly over I might come back to it though I say. If I get to 100 reviews I'll probably go back to this story. I wouldn't stop writing Gale/Katniss stories though check out my other two I'm going back too :)
Chapter 21 - Three years later
After a long day out in the woods on Sunday, Katniss rests her head on Gale's lap while they relax on the couch. Gale runs his hand through her hair and she closes her eyes.
Katniss is silent thinking about how shes going to tell Gale shes ready. She looks up at him and his eyes are on the small television in their living room.
They've talked about having kids for a while but Katniss said she wasn't ready yet and Gale respected that.
She gets up and goes into the kitchen and drinks half a glass of water.
She pushes herself do just say it to him already, to stop being a wimp.
She takes a deep breath and walks back into the living room.
Gale is crouched down staring at the fire and adding logs to it.
"Gale"she starts. Gale stands up and looks over at her.
"What's wrong Katniss?"Gale says.
"Will you sit down for a minute?"she says nervously. Gale obeys and waits anxiously for her to speak.
"I'm ready to have a baby Gale"she rushes.
Gale looks taken back but a smile appears across his face which makes her relax and she smiles in return.
"Really?"he says and gets up off the couch and walks towards her.
"Ya, I want to have a baby with you"she says. He pulls her towards him and his lips crush against hers.
His lips trail down her neck and he bits her shoulder and she whimpers.
"Well we better get started then"He says.
They try for a baby the next five months.
But no baby.
Katniss gets excited when shes late but is soon disappointed.
She tries not to show her disappointment to her family but it doesn't work.
Gale is more worried about how Katniss is handling not being pregnant.
Katniss snaps at him one day.
"If your wondering, I'm not pregnant"she says. He looks over at her.
"Must be me. She should of gotten married to someone who can actually get pregnant"she yells.
He comes up behind her and wraps his arms around her and leans his chin on her shoulder.
"Hey now, don't be like that. Stop stressing, its okay. I only want you. We'll try again."he says.
Katniss goes over to her mothers house while Gale is at work to see Hazelle and Ms Everdeen in the kitchen sipping tea.
She sits down and stares out the kitchen window.
"Well hello there, haven't see you in a while. Stuck in the bedroom?"Ms Everdeen says. Hazelle snorts into her tea.
"Well aren't we funny today"Katniss snaps.
"Well with all that sex, you'd think you'd have a bun in the oven"Ms Everdeen says.
Katniss gives her an icy stare.
"Well for your information, we have been trying. For the last five months and.."Katniss breaks down and starts to cry.
"Hey"Hazelle say. They comfort Katniss for a while until she stops crying.
"Hunny, its okay. It will happen."Ms Everdeen says.
Two months later, Katniss wakes up -the sixth time that week- and runs into the bathroom and throws up.
Gale is there and holds back her hair and rubs her back.
Gale carries her back to the bed and gets her a glass of water.
"Do you want me to call your mother to look after you while I'm at work?I'm worried Katniss"Gale says.
"No,no. I'm fine"she says. "I'll sleep it off"she says.
She drifts off to sleep for a few hours.
When she wakes up, she feels starving so she makes herself some breakfast.
She eats more than usually and then she realises something.
Cravings.
Morning sickness.
She counts the number of days shes late.
Then her jaw drops.
She changes and rushes to her mothers house.
Hazelle, Prim and Ms Everdeen sit in the kitchen. They startle when they see Katniss bust into the room.
"Mum I need you for a minute"she says.
They walk into the kitchen.
"Whats wrong hunny"Ms everdeen asks.
"Nothing, well hopefully good. I think I might be pregnant, I need a test to make sure"Katniss says
Ms Everdeen walks over to her medical cabinet.
"Heres a pregnancy test. Go pee on it. Two lines mean, well a little Katniss or Gale will be joining us soon"She says.
Katniss takes a deep breath and goes into the bathroom.
Prim and Hazelle go into the kitchen to see Ms Everdeen staring down at the ground.
"Whats wrong?"Prim asks.
"Well-"Ms Everdeen says but is inturrupted by katniss.
"I can't believe it"she says. Hazelle, Prim and Ms Everdeen turn towards the doorway to see Katniss staring down at the pregnancy test.
"I'm pregnant"she says.
