"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Rye. Happy birthday to you." We all sing to Rye. We being Peeta, Me, Haymitch, Effie, Joanna, Alder, Annie, and Finnick Jr.
Peeta and I blow out the candles with Rye. We cut the cake and give some to Rye and everyone else.
"Let me take a picture of you, peeta, and rye." Effie suggests
Peeta and I stand around Rye and peeta puts his hand on my big belly.
Rye has been calling Peeta dada. Peeta was so excited.
I'm due 2 months from now. I feel like a cantaloupe.
Joanna approaches me "so glad I got an invite and didn't have to find out on the news!" She says sarcastically.
I chuckle. "Of course. I wouldn't forget!" I say.
Joanna smirks. Alder walks up behind her and puts a arm around her waist.
"How are you katniss?" He asks me.
"I'm good alder. What about you?" I ask
"I'm amazing. I proposed to the love of my life and she said yes. And we have-"
"We have true love" Joanna interrupts him.
Alder wears a confused expression. Joanna shoots him a look and his face turns from confusion to understanding.
He turns to me and says, "yes. We have true love."
I give her a quizzical look. She pretends she doesn't notice.
"Okay then. I'm gonna go talk to peeta " I say. Trying to make it less awkward.
As I walk away I can hear Joanna say something to alder but I can't make out what it is.
I approach peeta. He shoots me a smile.
Peeta face soon turns into a dark expression. He grabs onto the table.
"Peeta? What's wrong?" I ask him.
"Katniss. You need to go. I think I'm having an episode. Grab rye and leave" he explains quickly.
I don't move. I'm shocked.
