Willow Mellark-Fire's Found A Home

Interview

Willows P.O.V

I am laying in my bed,not at all prepared for the interview that awaits us today.
Of course, I have no choice but to watch. I mean I have to. For these two reasons.
Number one: I need to know he's okay.
Number two: If I want to end the revolution and finish off Snow once and for all, then I have to see the interview. Maybe they'll throw us clues about his location or even about the Capitol.

So I make myself stand up, stretching out my stiff muscles.
I moan as I feel my stomach stirr up a bit,making me run to the bathroom and stand over the toilet, but then the strange feeling disappeared and I stand up straight.

I brush out my hair with the white plastic hair brush I had stored in the drawer in the bathroom.

After I'm done brushing the various of knots out of my hair, I go and put on a D13 jumpsuit. Which is now a bit tighter around my stomach area but you still can't notice the baby bump.

Thank God! I think to myself relieved that I don't have to explain myself to everyone just yet. Yet. I will have to sooner or later.

I hear a knock on the door as im finishing buttoning up my jumpsuit.
"Coming! " I yell as I walk and button up my top half at the same time.

I open the door and I found Rachel waiting for me in the hallway .

"Oh Hey, Ray" I said putting on my black combat boots.
"Are you ready for today?" She asked.
"Well,good morning to you too." I said sarcastically.

"Sorry, good morning ,madame. Would you like some tea?" Rachel said trying to mimic the Capitol accent.
I laugh and then continued on saying, "And to answer your question, I don't know. I hope I am."

"Hey remember, you can do this. You've been through worst scenarios. I guess this is the life we all live now. War,rebellion, deaths, love, hate. I guess that's just how we roll." Rachel said.

"I guess you're right, but I'm pregnant remember. I sometimes can't control my emotions. " I said like if it was a matter of fact.

"As for her, stay gold little girl. You can be as brave as your mommy. We all love you and we know you can be brave too." Rachel said rubbing my stomach.
I suddenly got hungry. Really hungry, for.... for... potatoes and gravy!

"Ray I'm hungry! Can we go get something to eat?" I whined just as my stomach growled.

"Yes, I can hear." She said smiling. "and you're already getting bigger."

"Hey! You try holding a nine pound baby for nine months, even though she isn't that heavy yet, but I get weird cravings and right now, all I want is potatoes and gravy !" I said and fall to the floor frustrated.

I feel the warm salty tears sting my eyes and I burried my head in my hands.
"This is all too hard! No one gets me! Tyler's gone, Caleb died and on top of that Im the leader of a rebellion and I'm pregnant! The only people I can talk to about the matter are you and Hunter!" I pour out, feeling relief on my chest that I let out all the emotions I had hidden inside me.

"Caleb died? When?!" Rachel asked surprised.
"Yesterday, because of the bullet. They should make an announcement today, I guess. "

" Willow I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it that way, all I meant was that the baby is getting bigger. I had no idea you had all this stress. Why didn't you tell me? You're like a sister to me. You know I'm always here to help right? I know it can sometimes be weird because you're usually the comforting one I go to for relationship advice, even though you never had one until now. I always got your back and you always have mine, that's why we're like sisters. We tell each other everything! Even though we don't have to. If you ever get this stressed out again just come talk to me,I'll help you." Rachel said helping me up as I dry my tears.
