"Fuck you Odair!"
"Why the hell did they have to move YOU to the bed next to mine, of all people?"
"Again… Fuck you, Odair! You think I'm any happier about this than you?"
"Screw you, Danni."
"No thanks, I'd rather hold out for someone more attractive."
"Uhhm, I'm awesome, thank you very much."
"You just keep thinking that, then…"
Danni laughed and ran her hands through her hair, which was now shaved on both sides, with a strip of hair about six inches wide running down the middle of her head; like a non-styled mow hawk. It lay flat to her head since she wasn't allowed out of bed to style it.
She had been in intensive care for the past two months, with a bullet wound through her head. The doctors said it was a miracle she was alive without any damage to her brain functioning, and it was amazing she was even alive… period. She would get headaches occasionally, but she'd just pop a few pills and tell everyone she was fine, no matter how much the doctors objected.
"Damn. I wish I could get out of this bed and do my hair." She sighed, and ran her fingers through her hair again, trying to cause it to stick up. It just fell flat again, so she resorted to smoothing it down roughly, agitated with how it looked.
"Well, you can't. Just like I can't get out of this bed to go see my wife." I crossed my arms and leaned back, and Danni laughed.
"Oh yeah! How are things with you and the lady?"
"Good, good… Annie's doing well."
"When's the baby due?"
"Uuuhh… A month, I think?"
"Awh! How cute! Yeah, I don't know why you're still here, considering you were only shot in the stomach. The bullet didn't even hit any vital organs, and it was a clean shot through-and-through. You're fine! Why ARE you still here, bugging me?"
"I don't know." I let out an exasperated sigh, and winced. I did know why I was still here. Because I could barely move without pain shooting through my body. "Why are you even alive, dude? You bug…"
"I'm alive because I'm just that friggin' awesome, Odair. You can't seem to say the same, wuss." She laughed, and turned her head to look down the ward, because they had just let someone in.
When she turned, I saw the spot on the side of her head where the bullet had entered. It had mostly healed now, but since they had to shave her hair off, you could clearly see the six-inch longs scar that ran from above her ear to the base of her neck.
I shuddered, just as Annie came into the ward.
"Hello love!" She called, and made her way over to my bed.
"Oh, Annie, should you really call me that in front of your husband? At least wait until we're alone…"
"It's nice to see you too, Danni." Annie smiled and laughed, and leaned down to give Danni a hug.
Annie made her way to my bed, and lowered herself onto it so she was sitting by my feet. She rested her hand on my leg, and looked at me, smiling.
"Guess what Finnick?"
I paused, and looked at her.
"What?"
"I'm POSITIVE I know that we're having a baby girl."
"What? No. Love, we're having a boy." I laughed, and I looked at her through the tips of my hair before I flipped them out of my eyes.
"No, I mean really! Lynda did this sonogram thing… We're having a girl." She beamed at me, and I sat staring at her for a moment. Her smile faltered a little. "Aren't… Aren't you happy?"
I shook my head, and looked back at her, beaming. "Of course! It just took me a minute to register… Really? A girl! Oh… Well… Wow!"
Annie's smile grew again. "Yeah. I'm pretty excited. Now I can ask Cinna to make her little dresses and stuff."
"What are you gonna name her?" Danni asked, and when I looked at her, she was beaming almost as much as Annie.
"I'm not sure…" I said, and Annie laughed.
"I do."
"Really now? What then?"
"Isabelle."
"I like it!" Danni exclaimed, "I want to be the godmother, oh goodness, can I be the godmother?"
She was practically glowing, hopping around in her bed. Her hair flopped around, and she clapped her hands together.
"Of course! I was about to ask you. I wouldn't have it any other way." Annie smiled, and Danni squealed with excitement.
I could only laugh as I watched the scene in front of me.
I was going to have a little girl…
Lalalalala another filler chapter(:
So there's pictures of Danni's haircut (Or something along the lines of her haircut. You always see it differently than you can get pictures(x ) On my profile, so check them out and tell me what you think? (:
I don't know if it's possible to get a sonogram that late into the pregnancy? But it's in the future, so who knows. Hahah.
And I know they had a boy in the book, but they're gonna have a girl here(:
Review?
