PREVIOUSLY ON Always Means Always. . .
Gale falls asleep, and an hour after the tests started, Dr. Mayac strolls in, with the results.
"Katniss, the father is. . ."
"Gale," she says, and it feels like I'm going to be sick. I can't breathe, and she says, "I'll leave you alone for a moment to digest the news."
I can't tell whether or not to cry, or if I should kill Gale, or apologize to Peeta. I stand, and Peeta gets up, but I put my hand on his chest, and turn to face him.
"I'll be back," I promise. "I'll be home tonight, but right now, I just need some time alone. I love you," I say kissing him.
I take a step to where Gale sits in the corner smirking, and drive my fist into his face, before walking out of the room in a daze.
First, I walk to the hob and buy a new bow and arrows. I walk to the woods, and shoot animal after animal, then I shoot a rabbit, and I just lose it. I sink to the ground, sobbing.
I hate Gale, I absolutely detest him. I drop my game bag and new bow and arrows, and curl up into a ball. I cry in my only safe haven, and then I stand up, the tears still drying from my cheeks.
I walk to our house, and say, "Peeta, I need you to be with me right now. Please come to the lake with me."
"Okay," he says kissing me.
Peeta POV
Katniss walks me to the lake, and kisses me, pulling me into the water.
"Peeta," she says, tears forming into her eyes, "I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry."
I pull her into my chest and tell her, "Katniss, you have nothing to be sorry for. It was all Gale's fault, not yours."
"I don't want this baby," she says.
I place a hand on her cheek and kiss her, "Katniss, if you don't want this baby, then we don't have to have it. But, whatever you want, I'll go with it."
She sinks into the water and says, "Swim with me."
When we are done swimming, we walk home, our clothes sopping wet. We change and then pick up Willow from Haymitch and Effie's house. She smiles when she greets us but falls asleep in Katniss's arms.
I put her in her crib and place a kiss on her forehead, pushing her brown locks away from her face.
A/N: I knew that people were itching to find out who the father was so I didn't put the A/N at the top. I'm sorry but if I was to continue the story I needed a huge plot twist. I might not update for a while so I hope this will tie you over because I'm working on a new AU story!
