Katniss POV

I sit on the edge of the bathtub, tapping the pregnancy test against the tip of my finger, biting my lips and tapping my foot. The waiting is horrid and the silence makes it way worse. Annie sits next to me, her hand on my shoulder. Its been about a week since my night with Peeta and I've been kinda avoiding him. Soon there's a ping and we look down. Positive.

"Oh...Katniss." she breaths looking down. "What were you thinking?"

"I wasn't. I barely remember it." I cry. She sighs and pulls me into her grip.

"Its going to be okay sweetie." she says softly while rubbing my back.

"I'm going to have a kid Annie." I say. "Nothing's okay."

"What...what about my mother? And Peeta?" I say. She looks at me with a sad look.

"We have to tell her. Its going to be okay. Your mother is very understanding." she says. I nod and stand up, walking out to my room. I sit down and think.

"Call Peeta." she says. I nod and reach for my phone, picking out Peeta's number and dialing it. After a few rings he picks up.

"Katniss?" he says. "Your calling so soon?"

"Yeah....Peeta. I gotta talk to you about something." I say.

"Alright, shoot." he says. I take a breath and look down.

"Could....could you come over?" I ask trying to get out of it.

"Ahh...yeah sure. Be there in 15 minutes." he says. I nod and hang up, looking to Annie.

"I....I wanted to talk to him personally." I say shakily. She nods as my mom walks in.

"Hey, I did your laud....whats that?" its mom and her eyes are on the test. Shit.

"Umm...nothing." I say. She sets the basket down and walks over to me, taking it from my hands and looking at it. Her eyes almost pop out of her skull.

"Your's?" Who!" she says.

"Yes...and Peeta." I mutter looking down. She looks angry but relaxation overcomes her.

"Katniss...why...your so young." she says kneeling down.

"It...I didn't....I'm sorry...." I say looking down. She sighs and shakes her head, cupping my cheeks.

"Katniss...its okay." she says. I look up to her.

"Why are't you freaking out?" I ask.

"Because I was so young when I had you. I understand you." she says. "Of course....I wouldn't have wanted this but...I support you." I smile and nod.

"I'm gonna tell Peeta." I say. She smiles and nods.

"Good, look....I'm gonna take you to the doctor tomorrow for it." she says. I nod. She smiles and stands up. "Your gonna be okay." I smile and she walks out.

"Damn....whats wrong with your mom?" Annie asks. I chuckle and shrug.

"Way too cooled out?" I ask. She nods and after a few more minutes the door opens and Peeta walks in, looking worried.

"Your mom said you have something to tell me?" he asks walking over to me. I smile and stand up, wrapping my arms around him. He hugs me back and kisses my neck before we pull apart. I sigh and hand him the test. He looks at it and up to me, then down again and back up to me.

"You....wait...you..." he stutters. "Really?" I nod. He reaches out and places his hand on my stomach. "A baby?"

"Yes." I whisper and smile. He closes his eyes and takes a breath before scooping me up in his arms. "Woah...Peeta!"

"We're gonna be parents." he says spinning us around. I try to wiggle from his grip.

"Peeta!" I say as he sets me down. "Calm down."

"I....I can't believe it." he says smiling. "Your...gonna be a mother and I a father." he smiles.

"I know...I know calm down. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow." I say.

"Can I come?" he asks taking my hand.

"You have school." I say. He shakes his head.

"Your having a baby. I have to be there." he says. I smile and nod.

"Alright, okay." I say. He grins like a dork and kisses me with full passion and a tiny bit of lust covered by a thick coat of love.

"Great." he whispers.

"Well...I'm done here. Kat, call me tonight." Annie says giving me a hug and kissing my cheek before leaving. I look back to Peeta and cup his cheeks.

"I was worried. I thought you'd be mad." I mutter. He shakes his head.

"No, I'm happy. For us..for you." he says hugging me again. He nod and give him another kiss before sitting down. We crawl into bed and soon I fall asleep. But...instead of dreams.....my sleep if filled with nightmares.
