Unexpected Happiness- Hunger Games Fic

Chapter 6: The Woods

"Gale?" I stand shocked and confused. Unsure of what to say, my hand automatically go to my belly. He stands in a way that he doens't know whether he should ask me something or not. His face changes into confusion as he sees my hand on my stomach.

"Uh... I just, uh, w-wanted to say...uh."

"What is it Gale? I'm not in the mood" Millions of different emotions run around inside of me. Anger, confusion, sadness, happiness... relief?

"Catnip, I miss you. I want you back and I just wanna say that I haven't slept with anyo- scratch that, even LOOKED at anyone since that day. Please, just talk to me again. Please."

I contemplate my emotions once more before saying my next set of words.

"Gale, I have something to tell you."

"What is it Catnip, I'm listening. God! I use always listening just please speak to me again." He moves foward and now we're inches apart.

"You know how a couple weeks ago, I came over to talk and we ended up- you know, doing what we did" I feel a couple of tears roll down my cheeks. I look up at his face when I say the next words.

"Gale, I'm pregnant. With your child. I only found out today and, and I didn't want to tell you but I don't know what happened. You were saying all these things and it just reminded me of the days when we first started dating and I-I-I" Before I know it I've lost all control of my emotions and he has his arms wrapped around.

We both collapse onto a rock together and I lay in his lap. He quietly strokes my hair and I pull myself together.

"Who knows Katniss?"

"What?" I sit up groggily and notice that I was falling asleep.

"Who knows about it Catnip?"

"Well, you and me and... Peeta. He was the one who took me to the Doctor's appointment. But, I don't want my mother and Prim to know yet. I still don't know what I'm going to do myself."

"Well, we're keeping it obviously?!" He voice becomes more serious with each word he speaks.

"Well, I don't know yet Gale! Everythings happening so fast all at once so I-I just don't know" I have to breathe very very heavily so I don't get worked up again.

"It's getting late, I'll drop you home." He takes my hand and helps me up, but we don't let go. Not until we get to his car.

It was quite silent on the way home except for the static of the radio. We pulled up outside my place but I didn't get out just yet.

"I don't know if I'm ready to fully forgive you just yet but I just want to say, I'm glad I told you." I warmed a sweet smile and felt a little better. I wait for a reply but one doesn't come. I start to exit the car before I clearly hear him say,

"I love you Catnip, I have always loved you and it destroyed me that I hurt so badly and I will never forgive myself but please know I love you."

I reply to him before I get out of the car and walk to my place. Why did I just say that? Is that really how I'm feeling or is it just because it's been a big day full of emotions? I stop asking these questions cause I know that I will never know the answer.

A/N: ooh, what did she say back to him? and yes, you are not supposed to know! :* ciao for now lovelies!! <3 xx
