Happy Mother's Day everyone! tell that woman/those women in your life you love them!
Chapter 30 – Peeta's POV
I got in the car and started it. "Peeta," Prim said. "You're going to be a good father, right?"
My heart started to beat faster and faster. That term was foreign to me. My father was more like my best friend than a dad. I never really knew what it meant to be a father. "Actually Prim, I don't know what to do. My dad was more of a friend to me and my mom was, well, a bitch."
"Oh." I saw her look out the window. "Then maybe you should be a best friend to her…oh him."
"That might work." I pulled up to the house.
We all got out and walked up to the door. Katniss knocked. Gale answered. "Hey, what are you all doing here?" He seemed happy today.
"We need to tell your family something, important."
"Okay, come in." He was confused now. "Mom, Rory! Come here!" They came and said hi to us. "Katniss, Peeta and Prim wanted to tell us something."
Rory went up to Prim and kissed her deeply, a little too deeply, on the lips. "Rory!" Mrs. Hawthorne said. He immediately stopped and pulled away. He and Prim were blushing.
"I know, I know."
"Okay, what did you want to tell us?" She asked.
"Well," I began.
"Oh, God just tell them!" Katniss sat down on a chair.
"Okay, Katniss is pregnant." Gale's mouth opened wide. "But her mom told us to tell all of you and only you, so don't tell anybody else!"
"Katniss, could I, uh, go talk to you in private?" Gale asked. She nodded and they walked off into the kitchen. I stayed far away, but close enough so that I could hear them.
Katniss: What do you want, Gale?
Gale: You're pregnant?
Katniss: Yes, yes I am. What are you going to do about it?
Gale: I don't know! I heard him take a few steps. Catnip, you are seventeen and you're going to have a baby!
Katniss: I understand that, Gale. We were drunk and just forgot everything. I heard her start to cry. Gale, I'm sorry! What do you want from me? To get rid of it? For it to be yours? I can't make any of that happen.
Gale: You know I'm not going to make you get rid of it.
Katniss: But do you wish it was yours?" There was a long pause. Gale!
Gale: Yes, of course I wish it was mine. Catnip, I love you. You know that. I think that everything happens for a reason. People can change. I have changed. Sometimes when there is change, you have to go along with it.
I clenched my jaw. I peeked around the corner into the kitchen. Gale took Katniss's hands and looked her in the eyes. I turned back and walked back to my previous place.
Katniss: Gale, please stop. I love Peeta. I loved hearing her say that. No matter what you say, this is still me and Peeta's baby, you still tried to force me to do things that I didn't want to do. I'm going back to him if you don't mind, but I know you do, so bye Gale.
Katniss emerged from the kitchen and kissed me. "Let's go."
