"So Katniss...I see that you are pregnant. Congrats."
"Thanks, Gale."
"When are you due?"
"Two months." I state matter-of-factly.
His watch beeps to say it's two o'clock.
"So what's been going on in Two?" I ask in a kind of teasing manner.
"Not much...well, I was asked to join the squad of soldiers that help protect the district."
"Gale, that's great!" I exclaim.
"Yeah. They chose me because of how I fought during the war."
Before I can respond I hear beeping coming from Gale's watch.
"Katniss, I'm needed in District 2 as soon as possible. There's been an explosion."
"But Gale, you just got here." I say pleadingly.
"I'm sorry Katniss, but I have to go." He replies.
"Well then, we'll grab your stuff and get you back." I say.
