Chapter 13

-Peeta's POV-

Both Haymitch and Effie were very distant this afternoon while eating. They hardly spoke. Haymitch always talks when he's over here for food.

"Right," I say slamming my hands on the table as I stand. "What is wrong with you two? You're always so chatty, the pair of you."

Thy both sigh. "We have a lot in our minds at the moment Peeta." Effie says.

"Something's happened, I can tell. Is is Katniss?" I ask frantically. "Has something happened to her?"

Haymitch sighs, looking over to Effie who sighs and nods to him.

"The woman we were talking about to you earlier was Katniss" Haymitch explains.

"Wait so she's here?" I ask, confused.

They nod. I go to stand but they sit me back down. "You can't see her though. It's too dangerous"

"What do you mean, 'it's too dangerous'?"

"She's worse then she was before. The doctors are really worried about her. When she has a flashback, it lasts for hours. The longest she's had one for is three and a half hours. Nothing could get her back."

I sit there, shocked. "No, no! It's not true, you're lying to me!"

"We're not Peeta. We're telling you the honest truth. She's struggling very badly being here with all the past memories. She may have to go back to the Capitol with the baby."

"W-why? What's wrong with it?" I stutter.

"He's like Katniss. Just not as bad." Effie explains. "They're handsome boys though. One has blonde hair, grey eyes, pale skin. The other has her brown hair, blue eyes and olive skin. They're everything she wanted them as."

I sigh loudly as my head lands in my hands which are on the table. "Why is life bad for either one of us all the time? I mean look, it started me being miserable when I found out Haymitch and Katniss had planned to fake us two to be together. Then it was both of us when we were both re-reaped. Then it was Katniss when I practically died. Then me when I found Katniss had died then didn't and was stuck in the Capitol. Then Katniss when she was pregnant, her being hijacked into hating me. To being rescued and nearly being killed by his crush. Then me thinking she died. Us having to be separated. Me to find out she's back, had my sons, and not being able to see either of them."

"I know Peeta. I wish I could do something but I can't." Effie says.

"Wait. I have sons not a son? I have two?"

"Yes, didn't anyone tell you?" Effie says. She looks to Haymitch who looks just as shocked.

I shake my head.

"I'm going to see her." Haymitch says raising from his seat. Me and Effie raise too.

"I'm coming with you then."

"No you're not Baker," Haymitch protests. "It'll be too dangerous."

"I don't care. I want to see her and my sons! And you can't stop me!" I say and storm out. Effie and Haymitch shouting at me not to go over and to come back.

I ignore them though. Still walking across the wide path to Katniss'.

When I get there I can still hear Haymitch and Effie shouting. Ignoring them, I knock and walk in. It's silent apart from the cries of babies upstairs. I walk into the living room, wondering why she hasn't seen to them. As I open the door though I am faced with a body on the floor.

I rush over. Putting their head in my lap to see it's Katniss. I check for a pulse and feel a faint one. I shake her gently, trying to wake her.

After a few minutes she wakes. She sees me and sits up quickly, turning to face me.

"P-Peeta?" She stutters. I nod.

She embraces me and rests her head on my shoulder. I hear her quiet sobs as her body shakes. I rub her back gently.

After a few minutes she pulls away. I hear the front door opening and slamming shut. Her hands go to my cheeks as she leans in and kisses me. I'm shocked at first but then kiss her back. I hear the footsteps race down the hallway but stop quickly when the reach the doorway.

When we pull away our foreheads are resting against each other.

"I missed you so much," She whispers. "I can't believe they made you miss their birth."

"I missed you too. So much." I whisper back. "Did you know you were carrying twins?"

She shakes her head, our noses brushing against each other. She giggles, a smile appearing on her face. She moves her head to look behind me as her smile widens. She stands and walks to the doorway. Leaving me kneeling there. I hear her coming back but hear little gurgles. I turn my head to see her bending down to kneel.

"Peeta, meet Hunter and Rye." She says handing them one at a time. I hold both the chubby boys in my arms. Hunter is the image of Katniss, just a male and my eyes. Where as Rye is the image of me with Katniss' eyes.

"They're handsome, just how Effie said they were." I say looking over to Katniss who has the biggest smile on her face.

After a while I hand them to Haymitch who wants to hold them. I sit on her sofa, with her sitting sideways in my lap. "Dr. Aurelius said you were worse than before, that you would have flashbacks for three hours?" I question.

"What?" She says confused, a slight frown on her face. "That's why you never came. He told me you found someone else."

"What?" Now it's my turn to be confused. "Haymitch, Effie!" I call.

They walk in, still holding Hunter and Rye.

"Yes?" They question.

"Dr. Aurelius lied. He told us that Katniss was worse then before and he told Katniss I found someone else!"

"What?!" They exclaim.

We nod, Katniss resting her head on my chest. "I haven't had a flashback since I've had the boys."

"We need to report him!" Effie exclaims.

"One minute. Sweetheart, can I speak to you?"

-Katniss' POV-

I nod and get off Peeta and follow Haymitch out into the hallway. He turns to face me and his hands go on my shoulder.

"Okay, what I'm about to tell you, I don't think your mother ever mentioned. Did your mother mention having siblings?"

I shake my head. "She always said she was an only child."

"She's lying. She's my younger sister. Her maiden name is Abernathy. I'm your uncle Katniss."

woahhhhhhhh
