Pregnant in the 75th

28. Disclosing information

Katniss's POV

It's a good thing Cinna and I are so close as I think if I had called anyone else like that they may have just killed me, well maybe not Peeta. Besides, we all ate and made idle chit chat as we did, making sure to steer away from the topic of the upcoming quell for tonight. There will be enough of that tomorrow.

"Katniss, mind if we borrow you?" Octavia says after everyone moves to the living room car. "If we can get some of your prepping done now then you won't have to ensure it as you say for so long tomorrow? Just an idea my dear," she says with a smile.

"That sounds great. I was looking forward to a nice long bath anyway so I'll have one when you're done with me." I say standing up to follow her. I give Peeta quick kiss on the cheek and explain, "And the prepping begins."

He just laughs, "Don't enjoy it too much."

"Oh you know I won't," I whisper before following after Octavia and the rest of my prep team.

"You my dear have to seriously look after yourself a bit better when we're not around you know... Your hair is like a frizzed bombshell and your nails beds I don't want to even think about them, let alone look at," Flavius goes on and I can't help but laugh at him.

"Yes I can quite imagine what a state I might look like after you his have been gone for so long. I just don't see the need to carry it on, it's not, it's just not exactly... me," I say with a shrug of my shoulders. They don't really say much else on the topic as they know its not worth arguing over. They head of to my room and I see they already have their stuff set out.

"Were going to sort the basics tonight so that tomorrow all we have to do for you is your hair and make up." Octavia says with a smile.

"That sounds amazing ... Even better if it involves one of your baths Octavia. I don't know what you put in there but it is the best! Now those I have missed!" I reply and she just chuckles.

"I'm afraid I'm not giving my secrets up just yet Katniss, but of course, we'll end with that."

"Ooh yes, I have a hair mask you can use while you're in there, it will make your hair smell absolutely divine darling," Flavius interrupts getting all excited.

"So what we starting with then?"

"Well Venia is going to start with waxing..."

"Really! Oh come on guys lighten up a bit you know nobody in their right mind can exactly call that relaxing! You're ripping the hair off of my body!"

"Well it will be quick and then its all over and done with?" Venia croaks up.

"Fine," I say huffing like a child, "then there's something I need to tell you guys first ...." Sitting down on my bed I let out a deep breath as the three of them stare at me eagle eyed.  Here it goes. "Guys... I'm pregnant." I decide to come straight out with it and tell them. There is no point in sugar coating it they're going to find out soon enough.

"Oh my dear Katniss I'm so happy for you!" Octavia almost squeals rushing to hug me.

"As am I." Flavius says calmly. Venia doesn't say a word, not that aw ever does but nods her head as smiles, sometimes if think that girl was an avid if I hadn't heard her laugh before now.

"So... How far along are you"

"Is it a girl or a boy? How long have you known?"

"Who else knows? Is it a secret? Is it Peetas?!" Flavius and Octavia start firing questions at me from both sides.

"Yes of course it's Peeta's what sort of question is thy you numbskulls?! I'm about three and a half months, so just enough to haw a tidgy little bump and the occasional kick, oh and it's a secret for now. Only Cinna and Portia know obviously because of the issue of my clothing, but other than hat nobody else knows and I plan on keeping it that way please." I say the whole time holding my hand across my bump.
