Chapter 7
625 Words
Over the next few weeks the Honey Moon brought myself and Jackson closer to one another on many levels. Our love for one another wasn't fake. I knew it from the way he began looking at me. The way he held me. The way he did everything to make me happy. He loved me back. We still had alot to work on though in our marriage.
I was unprepared as my knowledge of being a wife. Jackson the same as a husband. In less than a year we would or should be expecting a child so that would give us the responsbility of being parents. I still wondered what would happen, would everything be fine once our love was true or would Finnick still be breathing down our throats.
We had one week left of our Honeymoon or atleast a week to get pregnant. It had been a little under 19 days since that night and truth be told I was excited to find out whether we were going to be expecting.
Jackson wanted a boy and I wanted a girl. He was over the top with joy and kept asking me about different names for our future 'son'. He liked Posiedon for a boy and
Amphitrite for a girl. Since he was from District 4 he knew the mythology of the sea goddess and gods and therefore fell attached to them.
After a long discussion about names we finally agreed on Cinna Rose Ripper for a girl and Posiedon Amphitrite Ripper. Both where very strong names in my eyes.
Jackson and I had been fishing in the harbor earlier today. With the use of Finnicks tridents Jackson taught me how to fish with one. Sure I knew the basics but my Trident skills could use some sharpening.
After we caught some fish we sat out by the water and skinned it before we wrapped it up. That would be our dinner later tonight. After we did a bit of skinny dipping and swimming we took our fish back to the house where we began our dinner.
Fried salamon with lemon pepper. It was one of my favorite fish dishes apart from those little fancy fish eggs. Unfortunately for me I was unable to eat any because my stomach began churning and turning before I vomited up the contents of my stomach.
On any normal day I would be frusterated and near tears if this sort of thing happened since I hate vomiting even when I'm sick but I knew what this meant. The moment I stopped vomiting and I took a breath Jackson pulled me into his arms and spun me around. He placed a kiss on my lips before he set me to my feet.
"It's gonna be a boy, a little Poseidon" He smirked as he placed his hand on my flat toned stomach.
I brushed his hand away and smiled. "Its gonna be a girl. We are gonna have a little Cinna Rose." I replied before I wrapped my arms around his neck. "And she is going to look as beautiful as her father."
Jackson wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close. "And she will be as gentle and strong as her mother." He said kissing me on the neck. "Boy, girl I am just happy that I have the privelage to call you my wife and their mother." Jackson twirled me once and then dipped me. I giggled.
"I love you Jackson." I whispered against his neck.
He looked deep into my eyes and I felt my heart flip. Slowly a smile formed in his lips.
"As I love you."
"Real or fake?" I asked him.
"Real."
The corners of his mouth turned up. "Real." He mimicked.
