   Katniss and Peeta have been married for almost 8 months now and have moved into a new house.

Katniss POV

I wake up with a sick feeling in my stomach. Next thing I know I jump out of bed and shoot to the bathroom. I am on the floor puking into the toilet and luckily Peeta doesn't hear me. I don't know why I'm puking so much.

Suddenly I hear a knock on the door. Peeta must have heard me.

" Peeta, go away. Im fine," I  say trying to get him to leave the door.

" Katniss, your not fine, just open the door," he asks over and over.

I finally give in and unlock the door and he sees me slumped over the toilet.

" I told you its not very pretty in here," I try again to make him leave because this is kind of embarrassing.

" Are you okay, do you need anything," he asks me and I shake my head. I flush the toilet and stand up and cross my arms. I'm pretty sure I'm done vomiting.

" I gotta get ready for work," I say and walk past him. I didn't want it to sound mean but I never really throw up. I was really embarrassed to be doing it in front of Peeta.

I quickly brush my teeth take a shower and put on clothes since I took up half my morning puking. I walk past Peeta and he asks for a kiss. I give him a quick one and head out the door to work.

While driving in the car on the highway that I always take to work I get that same sick feeling that I had this morning. No not again. I pull over knowing that another round of vomit is coming. I open the door of my car and bend over and get rid of all of the contents in my stomach. Whats going on with me. I sit there for another fifteen minutes retching until I finally think that I am finished. The weird part is that I don't feel sick at all, I am just throwing up.

When I get to work I know I jinxed myself when I said I didn't feel sick. I have the biggest headache right now and I just need to go sit down. The smell of anything makes me gag right now. I need to just go into my office and close my door.

I have my head in my hands just hoping that this weird sickness will just go away. Thats when I get a knock on my door. It's probably Nalla.

" Come in," I say and she opens the door with a big basket in her hands and a smile on her face.

" Hey Kat, want a muffin,"she asks holding out her basket towards me.

" No," I say quickly but then I have to apologize. " Im sorry. I'm just not feeling too well this morning," I admit to her.

She sits down. " What do you mean?" she asks me.

" I have a huge headache and I puked twice this morning and its only 9:30 am," I say and her face instantly turns serious.

" Twice?! Really," She asks again and I nod my head. " Well there are a few answers to that,"

" What," I say looking at my computer and holding my head up with my hand.

" Well you could just be sick," she says and I nod. " Or... you could be..." she pauses and looks down.

" What? I could be what?," I ask trying to get an answer.

" Nothing," she says and I get annoyed.

" Just tell me," I ask again.

" Fine," she says. " Maybe you could be... pregnant."

" What?!," I almost shout. " Im not pregnant!"

" Are you sure," she gives me a smirk.

It takes me a second to answer but I finally do. " Yes I'm sure."

  She smirks again. " You didn't sound too sure about that." I roll my eyes.

  " Don't you have some work to do?," I say laughing trying to change the subject.

" Ohhh! Yea I do," she says and turns to walk out but before she leaves she says one last thing.
" Im going to get you a test while I'm on my lunch break."

" But I don't want a test," I try to explain to her. " Please don't get me one."

" I am going to get you one!" she says. "I am not leaving work today until you find out for sure," she says and walks away.

  What did I just get myself into. I should have just taken a muffin and this wouldn't be happening right now. I cant help but think that she could be right. There is a possibility that I could be pregnant. But I try not to focus on that. I try my best to do my work.

  Sure enough around 1:30 Nalla comes back into my room holding a bag with something in it. She closes my door behind her. " Here Katniss," she says putting the bag on my desk. " I wasn't joking when I said I would get you a test."

  I just stare at the bag on the table not wanting to say anything. But finally I do. " I didn't think you were joking, Nalla."

  " Okay then take it," she says trying to push me to do what she says.

  " Right now?! I cant take it here!," I say.

" Yes you have to! I said I am not leaving until you take the test!," she almost yells and I finally just give in. I can't argue with Nalla.

" Fine," I say and grab the test in the bag. As I walk out my door and down the hallway I feel somebody walking behind me. I turn around and see Nalla just standing there staring at me.

" You're gonna take it right," she asks and I roll my eyes laughing.

" Yes, Nalla. Where do you think I'm going," I say to her.

" Anywhere! Just making sure you would take it," she says and I turn around and continue but I still feel her behind me.

I turn and give her a smirk. " You just wanna know the results, don't you?," I ask and she nods and follows me down the hallway.

I go into the individual bathroom and pull out the test and take it.

" Did you take it yet," I here Nalla yell from the other side of the door.

" Would you give me a minute," I say yelling back.

" Okay, okay," she says and I roll my eyes again.

After I take it I have wait a few before the results. Constantly, I hear knocking on the door. Nalla seems to be impatient to hear the results.

I hold the test between my fingers anxiously waiting for something to pop up. And finally something does.

A plus sign.

My mouth drops open as I stare in shock at the results. I am speechless. Then my thoughts are cut off when hard knocks hit the door.

" Is everything okay in there," she asks and it takes me a while to answer.

" Yea...everything is fine," I say opening the door. I walk out and Nalla quickly looks at the test.

" Katniss! Thats a plus sign! I was right! See you are pregnant!," she say and I don't know what to think. I dont know if I should be anxious about it or be happy.

What will Peeta think. I hope he will want the baby. My hands are trembling and my eyes are watery. I cant believe that Peeta and I are having a baby.
