Chapter 26
Two months go by and katniss is in her third trimester with two months until the baby is due. Her sickness is fierce and her hormones are all over the place some days she cries over silly things which she laughs about with Gale or her mother or Prim or Hazelle. Her bump has gotten bigger and she can't fit into anything so Hazelle drops over more of her maturity clothes that is stored in the loft. The baby moves around more and Gale stays up talking to the baby telling her about his day and everything they're going to do together. Katniss smiles and laughs listening to him talk to their unborn baby.
On Sunday morning Gale and katniss lie awake in their bed cuddling up together. Gale's chest to Katniss' back while Gale has his hand over her bump.
"I can't wait till I get this baby out of me, I'm so uncomfortable"Katniss complains.
"Only two months left, it will fly by"Gale says.
"Easy for you to say"Katniss replies.
"Hey now"Gale says.
Gale lifts up Katniss' hair onto the pillow giving access to the back of her neck. He kisses down the back of her neck and moves his lips to the side of her neck he can reach.
"Hmmm.."Katniss tries to talk but her thoughts wipe from her mind.
They stay in bed till lunch time.
They walk to the hob and Gale takes Katniss' hand in his and they make their way to Greasy Sae stall.
"Hello Gale. Katniss"Sae says with a toothy smile.
"Look at you Katniss, that bump getting bigger. How long have you left now?"Sae says.
"I know I'm bloody huge. About two months"Katniss says.
"Do you mind?"Sae says reaching a hand towards Katniss' bump.
"Course not, go ahead. The baby kicking like mad you'll probably feel her"Katniss says.
"Aw. Wow. Strong baby you two have, thought of any names?"Sae says with a smile.
Katniss and Gale both turn and look at each other.
"No not yet. We have that to do yet"Gale says sheepishly.
"Yea, its hard to decide. Well have a name at least before the first year"Sae says with a laugh.
"Can we get two bowls of soup please Sae"Gale asks.
"Sure thing"She says.
Gale moves over a spare stool for Katniss to sit down on and stands beside her and hands her a bowl of soup Sae passes him.
Darius catches Gale, Katniss and Sae at the stall laughing and he makes his way towards them.
"Well hello there."he says. "Your looking good Katniss. You've got the pregnancy glow makes you look radiant"Darius purrs.
Darius comment earns a cold glare from Gale but Katniss just rolls his eyes.
Darius leans against the stall and looks at Katniss.
"Do you think the baby will have my red hair or your black hair?"Darius says.
"Shut your trap, wilya?"Gale says his face turning red.
"Aw. Now. Now. Gale you know I was only messing with her"Darius replies.
"Well don't mess with her. She's pregnant for christ sake. Why would you want to start working her up"Gale says.
"Okay. I'm sorry. Calm yourself down"Darius says.
"Gentlemen. Gentlemen. Stop getting your panties in a twist"Sae cackles.
"Yea, Jesus. What are ye like. I'm the hormonal pregnant woman here. Not you two"Katniss says and everyone calms down and continues to eat and have a friendly conversation.
It's ten o'clock in the night when Gale and Katniss head home.
Gale wraps a arm around Katniss' shoulders and Katniss wraps her arm around his waist and squeezes.
"You need to keep your temper together. He didn't mean any harm okay?"Katniss says calmly.
"I know. I know..I was just.."Gale says.
"Being protective? Jealous?"Katniss suggests.
"Yeah. I shouldn't have reacted like that"Gale says.
"It's okay. Least it was only Darius"Katniss says.
"Yea"Gale says.
"Jesus my feet and back are killing. You know what being pregnant now, well its not fun. Pain in my arse."Katniss laughs.
"Only two months left and we'll have our baby. We'll be a little family"Gale says while holding the front door open for Katniss.
They head towards their bedroom and strip down and get in under the covers.
"Have you thought of any baby names yet?"Gale asks.
"Hmm..well for a boy I have a few in mind"Katniss says.
"Lets hear them"Gale says interested.
"Nathan? Jared? Robbie? I like Jared."Katniss says.
"Yea, I like Jared. Hmm..Jared Hawthorne. Suits"Gale says.
"So if we have a boy Jared it is?"Katniss asks.
"Yes. Any suggestions for a girl?"Gale asks.
"Well I've been thinking a lot for girls. Can't decide on just one though. Ally? Annabelle? Rosie? Esther? Ally? Jasmine? Alexa, Lexi for short?"Katniss says.
"Well I can see why you can't choose. Hmm..Ally Hawthorne? Rosie Hawthorne? Alexa Hawthorne, Lexi for a nickname for short yea? Lexi Hawthorne? Hmm.. I love Alexa, what do you think?"Gale says.
"Yea. Alexa it is then. Alexa Hawthorne"Katniss says.
"Does it have meaning?"Gale wonders.
"Something like defender of man"Katniss laughs.
"Well if the baby is a girl. She's not going near a man till shes forty"Gale says.
" . Is that so?"Katniss giggles as Gale rains kisses down her neck.
Okay lads, next chapter I'm thinking its going to be the birth of the baby. This fanfic will be complete at chapter 30 okay?
But don't worry I've got some good ideas for another Gale and Katniss fanfic. Going to be a good one I hope.
About Gale and Katniss figuring out their feelings for each other taking a bit longer then this fanfic. I'll be adding a boyfriend for Katniss la de da.
Lets finish this one first though. ;)
