Watch Your Ground [ON HOLD]

Chapter 5: Peeta

Soon enough we're back and driving. I'm so confused as to where Katniss is leading us.
She concentrates on the road in front of us, the ride staying silent.

"So what's the plan?" I question her.

"First, we'll try and get the number plates swapped. That is major priority right now, I know where we can change it. Two... Oh my gosh I'm going to sound so ridiculous..." Katniss trails off.

"What's so ridiculous? Will it make me laugh and hate you?"

"Yes and no." Katniss quickly replies. She sighs and pulls off the motorway onto the side of the road. She keeps the right indicator on and faces me.

"I should try and get a fake bump made." My eyes widen and I try my best not to laugh,she was right.

"Why exactly?" She rests her head on the wheel and sighs angrily.

"They think I'm pregnant. I can't just go and show I'm lying. Peeta we played an act and fooled people to believe its true." She cries.

My concealed laughter fades when I see tears dropping onto her tears and seeping into the material.

"Katniss." I mumble and rest my hand on her back. She lifts her head from the wheel and reaches to rest it on my shoulder. She does her best to wrap her arms around my waist and I tighten my arm around her, stroking her side with my fingers.

"I don't want to do it Peeta." Katniss mumbles into my shirt.

"I know, I wish you didn't have to either. But you've put us into thought. Our lives our at risk right now, this might save us." Katniss nods into my shirt.

"Besides, it'd give you practice for the future." I add and she looks up at me quizzically.

"You're suggesting that I have kids when I'm older?" Katniss quizzes.

"Yeah. I can see you as such an amazing mother. You're so great with my nephews." I quietly reply and smile when I see her smile slightly appear.

"But they're your nephews not my sons." Katniss corrects and sits up again. She starts the car up but turns to look at me.

I wipe her eyes with my thumb and afterwards reach for her hand and give it a reassuring squeeze.

I go to remove my hand but Katniss squeezes it tighter. "Okay." I whisper and Katniss drives onto the motorway again.

"Also, hair products." Katniss starts. "We'll be changing identity."

"Names and looks?"

"Names and looks." She reassures and we both grin, a whole plan is coming our way.
