*Katniss POV* *A/N: let's pretend that's not a girl in the picture, and instead a boy*

I open up social media and take a picture of our ultrasound.
"We are expecting baby #2! Thanks for all the love and support." I type in my phone and press post. It isn't long before my phone blows up with likes and congratulations comments. My phone rings, Joanna's caller ID shows up. Shit. I forgot to tell her first.
"Hello" I say
"What the hell!" Joanna exclaims
"Sorry Joanna, I forgot. I swear!" I quickly explain.
"How far along are you?" She asks
"About 36 weeks" I respond
"But the baby is barely showing in the ultrasound! " she says.
"Yeah. It's from earlier in the pregnancy. I didn't feel ready until now and I just posted it before I could change my mind. I've been busy these past 8 1/2 months, with being pregnant, Rye learning to crawl and walk and Peeta renovating the bakery. It totally slipped my mind to tell you. I'm sorry." I explain.
"It's okay. Just don't forget to tell me next time!" She reminds.
"There will not be a next time! Trust me. After this one, Peeta and I are done having kids. Of course he wanted more, as he wanted a girl. But I told him no matter the gender, I'm done having kids after this. So he just needs to hope it's a girl." I explain
Joanna laughs. "You didn't plan on having Rye, and you didn't plan on having this one. Who's to say you won't get pregnant again without meaning to?" Joanna asks, still laughing.
"Joanna! Don't jinx it!" I say
Joanna laughs. "I gotta go, alder is calling me"
"Okay. Talk to you later" I say. She hangs up and I set my phone down.
Peeta walks into the living room with cheese buns, my favorite.
"Here you go" he smiles. Rye crawls in after him.
"Hi baby boy!" I say to rye.
I pick up rye and thank peeta for the cheese buns.
"I announced the pregnancy" I say.
"Really?" Peeta asks
"Yeah. Figured it was time." I put a hand on my huge belly.
"The baby is due in a few weeks" I say
"True. Can't wait for our baby girl" peeta says
"Me either" I reply as he gives me a kiss.
I put on Rye's favorite show and he gives the biggest smile. Peeta and I sit together and watch the show with Rye.
"Mama" rye says.
Peeta and I look at each other. Wide-eyed.
"Did he just say what I think he said?" I ask
"I think he did" peeta says, biggest smile on his face.
Rye just said his first word.
