*Katniss Pov*
It has been about a month since the wedding and me and Peeta have been living happily married together.
I wake up and yawn and that's when I hear a glass shatter. I run down the stairs and I see Peeta's a dark blue eyes with rage and hatred in them.
"You Mutt.. You killed my family"
Not real Peeta, we are married I am not a mutt. I say.
LIAR! I would never marry a mutt. He says.
Shh its okay not real. I say slowly walking towards him.
When I get to close he throws me on the floor right on my stomach. I feel the pain in my gut get worse and worse by the second.
He punches me across the face and wraps his hands around my neck on top of me.
Please Peeta. I mumble.
Please. I say running out of breath.
He snaps out of it and realizes what he just did. He gets off me and looks around the room staring at the broken glass and some of my blood on the floor.
Kat-Katniss I am so sorry. He says.
He runs out the door and I lay there feeling lifeless and numb. Haymitch comes running in and he calls 911.
Haymitch lifts me up and sets me on the couch as a ambulance is on the way.
Peeta paces around the room with his hands running through his blonde waves saying bad things about himself under his breath.
"Why would I do that, I am a monster, I deserve to die." He says under his breath.
I try to tell him that its not true, but I cant seem to speak I barley feel alive anymore. My eyes start to feel heavier and I close them.
*Peeta Pov*
How could I do that to her? I don't deserve her, she is not safe around me.
Crap. I hear Haymitch say.
What. I say worried.
She is no longer conscious. I run over to check her heart that is still beating very slowly. Doctors come in the room and put her on a stretcher they roll her in the ambulance and Haymitch and I hop in.
I sit there staring at the love of my life with her eyes shut and no life remaining in her body. She has to live. I think to myself.
I silentley cry and Haymitch pats me on the back.
It'll be alright boy. He says.
Haymitch what if she dies because of me? I could never live with myself.
She won't die. Katniss is very strong she went through two hunger games and a rebellion. She'll be okay. He says.
You don't know that for sure. I say crying.
He says nothing in return knowing I am right. We both don't know if she will die or live.
Effie starts calling him to ask why he ran out of the house
"Katniss is hurt.. Meet us at the hospital please. He says.
I stare at my wife with tears in my eyes. If she dies, I am not sure I will be able to go on. My whole life would be over.
Without Katniss the whole world would just be a big gray cloud, she always says she is lucky she got me, but how is this lucky?
We arrive to the hospital and they wheel the stretcher out of the ambulance and rush her inside. We are told to wait in the waiting room.
Gale calls me and asks what is going on.
"Katniss got hurt, come to the hospital we are in the waiting room.
Okay, I will bring everyone else. He says.
Gale, Claudine, and Annie all walk in the hospitial with the kids and we all wait for news from the doctor.

About 2 hours later a doctor finally walks in the room.
May I speak to Mr. Mellark? He asks.
Yes. I say.
I walk with him into the hallway and we walk outside of Katniss's room.
I have some news for you. He says.
Katniss just woke up, and she requested to see you. He says.
Follow me this way to her room. He says.
Okay, thank you. I say.
I walk in the room and keep my distance not wanting to hurt her again.
Peeta. She says.
The nurse leaves the room and I stay near the door not daring to get any closer.
Are you alright? I ask.
Yes, I'll be okay. She says.
I'm so sorry Katniss I hate myself so much for doing this to you. I say through tears.
Peeta its alright, can you please come here. She says.
No, I don't want to hurt you Kat. I say.
You won't. She says.
If I didn't then you wouldn't be laying in a hospital bed right now. I say looking down at my feet ashamed of what I did to her.
Peeta this is not your fault, its Snows. She says.
I sigh.
Kat, I have to move I cannot stay here with you if I am going to just hurt you. You deserve better than that.
No Peeta, never talk like that. If you leave there is no chance I will stay alive, and you and I both know it's true. You are my everything. She says.
I also can't raise this baby on my own. She says.
Baby? What do you mean Kat.
I am pregnant Peeta. She says.
Kat, are you kidding. I say.
No Peeta, and I know how you always used to want to be a father, so you cant leave now. She says.
Did I hurt the baby? I ask.
No, they were shocked, but when they checked the baby was perfectley healthy. She says smiling.
Now will you please come here. She says.
I walk over to her and she makes room for me on the bed. I lay down next to her wrapping my arm around her. She lays her head on my chest and holds my hand.
I missed her so much.
I am so sorry Kat. I say.
Peeta stop apologizing I am not mad at you. She says.
She kisses me and looks me in the with her beutiful stormy gray eyes. I kiss her back and feel so lucky to have her.
