Map the darkness

Chapter 5 (haymitch)

I can't believe this. Coin wants to send the poor girl and her unborn girl into war. I can never fully agree with the women. Katniss is like and daughter to me and peeta a son, they are some of the very few that like me or at least put up with me. Sitting in command with beetee waiting "so haymitch how's Katniss, peeta and the baby?" He asks.
"Well not too well. coin wants to send our pregnant mockingjay into battle and peeta is confused and in pain. they are trying to comfort each other with little energy" I sigh.
"That is unfortunate. They are gonna need all they got when the baby comes. What are they? 17,18. they don't need all this" he replies. I agree but I just nod then coin comes in.
"Ah Mr Abernathy... you wanted to speak with me" coin says closing the door. "Yes, I can't let you send that girl off. she is pregnant early labour was close once and don't want it any closer. her and peeta don't need it" I state angrily. "there is a war" she says.
"Yes and there are thousands of other people ready to fight but not Katniss and peeta. no" I say. "your starting to sound like you actually care about them" she says and this pushes me off he edge. "because I do care Madame president. I love them both. they are the closest thing to family I have left. they have had enough suffering... I don't exactly enjoy watching them in the games not like this" she sits back. "excuse me I have a district to attend to" she stands up. "Just leave them be" I almost plead.
"Until the baby is born"
"No" I say
"As I said there is a war"

(Peeta)
Me and Katniss has been given a compartment. Prim had the task of moving all our things, what we have anyway. We are lying on the bed and Katniss has her eyes closed and me next to her watching over her. I put a hand in her bump and I feel a kick. in shock I pull away "sorry" I say simply. she just smiles with her eyes closed knowing that I am awake she opens hers "it's okay. she only kicks for you and prim" she whispers out of tiredness. "really?" I ask.
"Yeah, I think she knows her daddy!" She smiles "sometimes finnicks voice too actually. I think it's because while you were... away, we spoke a lot"
"Well she's not the first I sure" I say and we both giggle.
I kiss her gently. I never ever want to loose this... ever. Our daughter carries on kicking with both or hands on top of where she lies. then haymitch walks in frustrated so I sit up "what's happened?" I'm not concerned.
"She is not going to send Katniss to the Capital..." I smile but then I sense something is wrong. "haymitch what is it?" I ask so worried. "the both of you are not going to the capital... yet" he has a long pause after wards to make it sink in. "yeah. after the baby is born you will both be going to the capital" I just stare at him. "That means we would be leaving our daughter for how long?" Katniss asks with tear in her eyes. haymitch just shakes his head " I don't know Katniss. not too long I pray but I have been assigned to look after her while your away along with your mother and prim. Katniss starts crying again and haymitch hugs her and I hold her hand "it's okay sweetheart... me and peeta are here and so your mother and prim" haymitch says in a hushed tone.
"Katniss?" A tall man says
"Dad?" Katniss calls.
"Mr everdeen" I say questioning
