CATO P.O.V
"You're what?"
"Pregnant…. Pregnant… We're having a baby."
"Are you kidding me? Don't even joke about this."
I slowly make my way around the island. I never really wanted a baby until I met Clove. Damn that girl has made a man out of me. And a father too?
Her eyes light up. She seems to have gotten over the initial shock and she grins so wide I can see her wisdom teeth. With the stick that must have those blue lines, she jumps up in the air, waving it like a maniac. Arms shaking, she holds it out to me and I take a good look. Yep. Two lines.
"Holy shit, baby, we're having a baby!" I shout and she jumps up into my arms and I just kiss her, because there's nothing else I can do.
CLOVE P.O.V
A baby, a baby, a baby, I've always wanted one of these.
And he's kissing me and we're hugging because what else can you do when you find out there's going to be another one of you? I thought I was happy when I faked being pregnant a few years ago to scare him. But this is something else. Cato puts me down and braces himself on the bench.
I look down at my belly. Nothing really there yet. The most imperceptible of a bulge, if that. He kneels down in front of me and lifts my shirt, his warm breath tickling my stomach. He plants a big kiss on where the baby should be, then slowly inches his way up with more kisses until he's wrapped his big arms around me and kissed my temple.
"How are we gonna do this, Clovey?" He sighs into my hair.
"I really don't know," I say, because its the truth. How can we bring a baby into this world when we've barely been married two months? I'm still studying, and by the time I finish my degree I'll be heavily pregnant. This kid better not get in the way, but I suspect it won't, as it must know that if it does, it will have a tough time growing up. Smart little cookie.
"You know the only person I've ever wanted to have a baby with is you, right?"
"Right." I whisper into his chest.
"And that I'll love you no matter what?"
"Of course."
"So it will be okay. I know we're young but so what? Lots of people are! We've got money and this kids gonna be loved more than you love KFC. I know how long you've wanted this, Clover. We're finally having a baby and I'm so glad I can be the one to give you one."
He lowers his head to meet our baby. "Your mother loves you more than KFC, if you didn't hear that. That is a huge deal for her. She's as pale as the sand but my god, she eats like your uncle Thresh*. She's wanted you for a very long time. And up until now, I didn't realise it either. I love you, you little cutie petootie."
I just laugh and let my eyes wander to the clock. Oh shit. Breakfast on the run it is then.
But with a baby on the way, nothing can take the smile off my face.
*(NO RACISM INTENDED, WHERE I LIVE, WE'RE VERY RACIALLY ACCEPTING AND OUR ONLY FORM OF HUMOR IS RACISM. IF YOU GUYS HAVE REALLY GOT A PROBLEM WITH THIS THEN LET ME KNOW AND I'LL TAKE IT DOWN. OTHERWISE, GET A SENSE OF HUMOUR! no offense my loves!)
