"Do you realize what just one of your smiles can do to me? Do you realize how just one kiss can change everything. You my, beautiful lovely wife, are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Without you Oaklan I wouldn't be here. I would be a monster like I was before. You kept me sane Oaklan. You are the only reason I didn't run away. You gave me something to live for. You gave me something to fight for. Never think you are crazy, because you're not. I've seen Annie, Finnick kept her sane. She isn't crazy, she's lost without him. They can tell you you're crazy all they want. They can whisper rumors about you and I will never believe them. Just like when Snow had you" he pauses to take a deep breath as if what he is about to say bothers him "When Snow had you, he played a tape of when I thought I loved Katniss. You knew without a doubt that it wasn't real. That is why we work so well. That is true love, knowing exactly everything that the other is. I love you Oaklan more than anything I ever have in my life. I just wish you knew half of how I feel every time I look into your eyes, or when I watch you sleep. You are so amazing and yet, you don't even know it. Do you?" he stops for a second pushing the hair out of my eyes.
I am at a loss for words. What did I ever do to deserve such an amazing wonderful guy?
I wonder this for the next three months. ( A.N. I know majjjjor time shift). The days go by quicker and quicker when we return to two. I am forced to stay in bed for most of my day. I only get up to use the restroom and occasionally move to the couch downstairs. My belly keeps me alive and sane, my hands become automatically situated there at the top of my belly.
Brentson and Aishen keep their promises and visit me. Thom calls at least once every day but gale makes sure to handle his calls. He is the light that just keeps shrinking to get me through this pregnancy. Without him, I don't know what kind of state I would be it.
Gale leaves work early most of the days to come be with me. He hates what he has done to me. He hates seeing the pain in my eyes when I try to move, and the constant grimaces of baby kicks. He tries everything to make me feel better. He stays by my side through all the pain apologizing over and over. I always assure him I knew what I was doing, it doesn't bother me, I assure him I've of course been through worse.
Yawning, I roll over lazily and face the clock. Only three in the morning. Puzzled I search my mind for reasons of my sudden alertness. No nightmares haunted me enough to startle me awake.
Suddenly a sharp cramp comes from my lower stomach.
I gasp a sudden intake of air as I try to crunch my knees to my stomach uttering a few choice words I would have never thought to say before this sudden moment.
"Gale I whisper shaking him violently "Gale we need to go now".
He starts awake and looks at me "What? What is it?" his eyes search mine.
"It's time" Is all I manage to respond.
So if I get at least two reviews on this short snippet of life, I will update tonight. Promise! So review and I shall add the rest. Babies and all people!
Don't own the hunger games btw
