The Aftermath(a post-mockingjay story)

Chapter 6

Katniss POV

"You're pregnant."

I cant process it for a while, so the doctor goes in to another patient while Peeta and I sit there. Not looking at each other. Not saying a word. After about ten minutes, Peeta looks at me. I can see the happiness in his eyes.

"We're having a baby!"

"We? You mean, Im having a baby?"

"Whatever. Im just so happy! You are gonna be a mommy and Im finally gonna be a daddy!" I can tell he loves the baby already.

The doctor comes back in to schedule another appointment with me in four months. We drive home. Annie calls. I answer the phone, surprised she called.

"Hello?"

"Hi Katniss. Its Annie."

"Hi Annie. What have you been up to lately?"

"Oh, nothing much. Finn's getting so big! "He will be four in five months, already. I also started seeing this guy. I think I have gotten over Finnick's death, but he will be my only true love. Always."

"Thats great! Whats his name? Whats he like? Is he ok with you having a child?"

"His name is Oliver. Hes kind, smart caring, funny, and handsome, and he absolutely loves Finn! We are actually getting married in a few days. Thats why I called."

"Really? Already? That's terrific! Im so glad you've finally settled down with a guy. Peeta and I would love to come. When is it?"

"Sunday, April 15th. Peeta is actually designing our wedding cake I think."

"Wow. Well, I gotta go. Bye!"

"Bye!" We both hang up.

I call Peeta imto the living room.

"Whats up, Buttercup?"

"Are you aware that the client you are designing a wedding cake for is Annie Odair's new fiancé?"

"Really? I had no idea! He said he would be over to pick it up on Saturday."

"Well the wedding is Sunday, and I told her we would be there,"

"Of course!"

'Sunday'

Peeta POV

Annie looks beautiful. She is wearing a sleeveless off-white mermaid dress. Appropriate for this occasion. Finn is the ring-bearer. He looks adorable in his little tux. The flower girl is one of Oliver's nieces. All the decorations have an ocean theme. Sky blue trim, starfish table decorations, a starfish clip in Annie's hair. I forgot that I made this cake look exactly like her last one. As soon as she sees it, she starts to cry. I guess she isn't as over Finnick as she said she was.

Oliver asked her why she was crying.

"This cake is exactly the same as my last wedding cake. I was married to Finnick Odair, and decided to keep the name when Finn was born. He was born while Finnick was in the Capitol on a mission to save the captured victors. He was killed by muttations. It still scars me. I love you with all my heart, Oliver, but I dont think I will get over Finnick. Ever. Im sorry."

"Its all right Annie. I love you too. It ok if you're not over him. He was your first love. I understand what you went through. My girlfriend was in the Capitol helping the injured when the bombs went off."

Katniss POV

He should not have mentioned that horrible day. It was when...Prim died. Everyone looks at me. Now its my turn to explain why IM crying.

"My little sister Prim, was, uh, killed on the very same day. The same way too. Im sorry I dont like to talk about it." I run off into the bathroom.

I cant handle the stress anymore. I just let myself cry it all out. I dont care who sees me anymore.

"Katniss? Honey, are you all right?" Peeta.

"No. Im not."

"Lets talk about it." He pulls me close and I dig my face into his chest, crying into his shirt. We sit for a minute. Being in his arms makes me feel safe again, so Im ready to talk about it.

"I just cant take the stress anymore. My pregnancy, Prim, our wedding plans..."

"Well we can put the wedding on hold until you're ready to handle it."

"I think thats the best idea. Come on lets go home."

'8 months later'

Everything is ok. The baby is ok, and she is due in three weeks. I cant wait. Neither can Peeta. He has been taking such good care of me. He helps me get dressed in the morning, he makes every meal, and he has dealt with me through my mood swings. I love him so, so much.

Then I feel something wet. My water broke. No! This can't be happening. All of a sudden I feel extreme back and stomach pain.

"PEETA!!!! MY WATER BROKE!!!"

"IM COMING!!!"
