Clove’s POV
I was waiting in the justice building I wouldn’t be surprised if my parents were no shows. I spent the time thinking about what Cato had said would he really want to marry me? After my parents latest stunt I wouldn’t blame him if he said no. And the thing he said about wanting kids with me killed me…I was already pregnant with his child. Today I was supposed to tell him it would have been his reason to come home. I rubbed my stomach and let the tears come pouring down.
“Clove?” So my mother did decide to show up
“Get out of here” I told her with a sort of authority in my voice.
“But honey I’m your-“
“Don’t you dare play that crap with me! You know I love him and you know that I’m pregnant with his kid. Do you want to know what you have done mum? You have killed your own daughter and grandchild because mother I’m not coming back Cato is!”
“Oh please Clove he is a waste of space he could never support you or that kid you just haven’t realized that yet”
“Don’t you dare judge Cato like that you old bitch what gives you the right to say that to a guy who has treated me right for 5 years!? Just go now you too father I am so done with you two”
“You won’t make it in that arena you’re not half as good as I was” She started to laugh and that is when I had absolutely lost it. I got my knife out of the side pocket of my mother’s dress and held the knife to her throat.
“I really am not afraid to kill you so get out before I decide to do exactly that” I told her.
“Goodbye Clove” my father said.
“Just leave…” I had started to hysterically cry. I just fell down on the ground wrapping my hands around my stomach.
“Baby you are going to be okay nothing’s going to hurt you right now. I am so sorry that you have to die maybe it’s better that you don’t have to be hurt in this world” I felt a little kick in response to saying that. I can’t let this baby die maybe Cato can deliver it before I die. Cato would be a great father to this baby.
“Miss Abington it’s time to go” one of the peacekeepers told me.
“Could you please help me up Sir?” the man lifted me up. “Thank you” I was taken out to a car I think they were called limos? I opened the door and Cato was already there smiling up at me. I got in the car and did my seat belt up. I cuddled up to him and fell asleep.
“Cato I have to tell you something important before we go into the arena”
“Yeah babe you can tell me nothing wrong with you right?”
“No ,no I am totally fine Cato it’s just that…”
“Come on Clove for god damns sake you know you can tell me anything”
“Ok just don’t freak out…I’m pregnant!” I wrapped my arms around Cato for a hug but he didn’t hug me back. I took my arms away from him and stared at him he was just processing all of this he had to be so excited.
“You cheated on me didn’t you Clove?” Cato yelled at me angrily.
Why was he saying this he knew that I would never cheat on him and anyways I thought that he had wanted children?
“Answer me Clove!”
“Cato please” I begged him. “You know that I would never cheat on you. And I thought that you wanted this baby?” I said wrapping my arms around my stomach.
