The Victory Tour

This chapter contains slight mention of self harm I will put ⚠️ just in-front of the paragraph that it starts.

"I'm pregnant," I say my body shaking.

Gale's POV:

I'm a dad. How can I be a father? How can I do something that I have no idea what it means, it's like asking a farmer to become a business man!

My father died in a land mine four years ago and ever since I've been the main provider for the family. I go hunting whenever I can, I buy all of the clothes but my mother did has a job as a clothes washer.

Her fingers that used to be so soft from tickling a baby's belly and cooking and cleaning so often are now rubbed raw from of the scrubbing she does and the chemicals inside the soap.

Now I can give them money or food or anything they need whenever they want! I bought her hand cream the other day but so far it's been no use. Her hands still have cracks in them and she still continues to over work her skin in every little thing she does.

But how can I be father? I have no father figure that's still alive and I'm rubbish with children! I can just about keep a conversation running with Prim! Am I to harsh, to cold not wanting to make another child go through what I did?

"I'm a father?" I say running up to Y/N still not believing it.

"I-I'll leave you two to talk about it," Peeta mutters walking out of the room.

This must be so hard for him, he's the one who loves Y/N not me! He should be the baby's father not me, I'm just in the way of their relationship. The thoughts going through his minds right now must be so chaotic and upsetting.

"Well, this is going crazy hey," Y/N laughs looking down at her stomach.

"Yeah, so now that we're going to be parents we should probably get you signed up to a hospital," I need to discuss something more important though, "What happens when I go on the Victory tour?"

She looks at me and sighs, "I won't go into labor for a very long time. You will be here for the baby's birth."

"We need to get you an ultrasound that test could be wrong! It's only been a day."

"I'll do another one the day you leave and the day after just to be extra sure," she says resting her arms on shoulders and looking up to me.

I bend down my head and peck her lips making us both smile. This whole entire situation is so fucked up. For all I know Peeta could be the baby daddy and Y/N and Peeta have lied to me.

"It's not Peeta," she says reading my mind.

I walk over to the sofa and let my body fall onto the soft fabric. I close my eyes and let out a sigh, this whole thing is making my head hurt. She walks over and sits down next to me cuddling close to my body, resting her head in the gap between my head and shoulder.

"The Capitol are going to love us!" I joke.

•Time Skip•

"I love you Y/N," I say before pecking her lightly on the lips. I pull on the tight coat and walk out of the door into the freezing cold.

The snow stings my face the temperature difference clear. The house was nice and warm but now it's cold and bitter. The wind pushes n in to my ear making them hurt a little and the snow is already blurring my vision.

I walk over to Katniss' house where all of our stylists are waiting for us. I wanted to go alone so I can think about how I can survive the Capitol again.
