Hey, I'm back. I'm really trying to stabilize my updates, but right now, it's like I'm fighting for control on the only computer in the house. Anyway, shout outs to: firework7, kadee son 12345, Olive Monster, as rosas, StarLights145, Moon Dust 198, Calypso1302, MissMura and all the guests.
"Well, well, sweetheart. Enjoying yourself?" I turned to see the ever so smug face of Haymitch Abernathy, standing right at my doorstep. Gale and I broke apart immediately, as if each other's touch had burned. Haymitch took a swig of the bottle he was holding, staring at us through it.
"Well, sweetheart, this is most disgraceful behavior. Kissing you own cousin," he said, teasing me about the lie the Capitol made up to cover for me and Gale's relationship.
"He's not my cousin," I said, vehemently. Haymitch put his hands up in mock surrender, swaying as he did so.
"As if you didn't make that bloody obvious when you slept with him…. Yes, I know you did," he said. Gale got up.
"I guess that's my cue to leave," Gale said. He waved me goodbye, and promised to call me tomorrow. I smiled at him. He shot us a worried look, before Haymitch gave him a few unintelligible words and slammed the door in his face. He comes to sit down by me, and I slap him.
"What did you say?" I asked. He ignored me.
"You know you're married, right, or may I remind you?" he said. I hit him again. He didn't seem to be slightly fazed, and he simply stared at me.
"Don't you think I know that! It kills me how much I can hurt Peeta, but I just can't….." I broke off, and put my face in my hands. I sighed.
"Alright, I understand, I guess at this point you haven't told the boy yet," Haymitch said, and I looked at him. There was something in his voice that suggested that he knew something, of there was something he wasn't telling me.
"Told who what?" I asked, cautiously. He gave me a look.
"Give me a little credit, sweetheart. You haven't told Gale that you're pregnant with his kid yet.
Gale's POV
I walked to the small house in Victor's Village that I'd been given to accommodate my stay in District 12. I'd left District 2 a week ago, hoping to see Katniss. I got my wish, but what I couldn't figure out was what Haymitch had said to me, at Katniss' house. You better be responsible, cause you'll need it, he had said. I had pondered about what he had meant, but I still couldn't figure you out. I sighed, and dropped on my bed, hoping to get some sleep. And yet again, Katniss reappeared in my dreams.
Hoped you like it. Still trying to stabilize my updates. Bye!
