Can You Love a Broken Girl?

Chapter 10

I wake up with Peeta beside me. I go to snuggle closer to him but I suddenly feel a rush of nausea and head strait for the bathroom. I can tell I woke Peeta up because he's holding my hair back and rubbing my back while saying soothing words to me. After endless puking I flush the toilet and lean back into Peeta's embrace. It's all silent as I lay in Peeta's embrace. Suddenly I hear a loud bang and i'm in a cloud of darkness.

I wake up to the sound of machine's beeping. I open my eyes and notice Peeta is beside me in a chair. He looks so dead and by the looks of it, he has been probably crying for hours, days even.

"Peeta" I say my voice raspy. I feel like I haven't talked for years. He jolts awake looking surprised.

"K-Kat-niss you're awake!" He stutters as tears start coming down his face. He hugs me tight as if he was going to loose me.

"How long have I been out?" I ask not remembering much.

"Three months Katniss, you were in a coma. I didn't know if you we're going to wake up. The doctors didn't even know either. I didn't what I was gonna do if I lost you. I mean Willow to be without a mother and she would have had barely a father." He says sobbing but his tears had lessened.

"Willow?" I say not knowing who that is. I just remember sitting in a bathroom with Peeta a few seconds ago.

"Our daughter, she's six. Don't you remember? Please tell me you remember." He says worriedly.

"But we were just in the bathroom when I heard a loud bang." I say confused.

"Katniss that happened six years ago, my mom set a bomb in your house previous of her arrest. We all got out safe including Haymitch. I don't know how she set the bomb, but she did. I guessed she timed it or something. Katniss, all that happened a long time ago." He says whispering the last sentence.

"But it felt so real." I say with shock.

"Katniss look at your left hand." He says. 

I look at my left hand and notice a orange colored diamond with green little diamonds around it in a heart shape. I look closer and see Always inscribed in the band. I remember now, me having Willow, the day Peeta proposed, and even the day after the explosion.

"I remember." I say astonished and excited.

"Katniss." He whispers.

"Yes." I say looking up at his piercing blue eyes.

"I love you." He says.

"I love you too." I say leaning in to kiss him. When our lips connected I still felt all those sparks even after all those yes ago.

After about an hour had passed. The doctor came in surprised that I woke up. "Well it seems you were too stressed and for your condition thus caused you to pass out and be put in a coma so that your body could recover properly." She states.

"What condition." I say confused. "Well, you are three weeks pregnant." she says with a smile. She then did an ultrasound and said the baby was fine and healthy.

After all the papers were filled out so I could be released. I couldn't be happier to go home.

When I arrived home everyone hugged me and said how worried they were and don't ever do that again. Even Johanna was worried, I think I saw a tear slip from her eye too. Willow came and hugged me with all the little might she could muster. It broke my heart that I hurt all the people I loved.

After me and Peeta announced that we were expecting I took Willow and put her to bed while everyone was leaving, but she refused to sleep alone. So she slept with me and Peeta every night. Until she knew I was not gonna leave her ever again.
