Peeta hands me the phone. "Go on." He tells me. "He'll be more than happy to hear from you." Hands trembling, I raise the phone to my ear and dial - 07536 86492. I can practically hear his footsteps getting nearer and nearer to the phone. Suddenly, a crackling noise sounds in my ear, and a familiar voice says, "Hello? Hawthorne Residency."
My body shakes as I replay his voice over and over in my head. Gale. I inhale sharply and stutter, "Um, Hi G-gale. Katniss here. I, um, just thought that you should know... I'm having a baby."
A gasp sounds from the other end of the line, and I immediately regret telling him. "Katniss!" He chokes. "That's... that's wonderful!" Tears start streaming down my face. It hurts so badly to hear him say that, but know that he doesn't mean it. I jump as a beep resounds in my ear. He hung up. He hung up.
