Katniss POV

Peeta and I still haven't had a conversation ever since he got angry with me. It's Christmas morning and I have to tell Peeta about the baby today.

Yesterday night, I put the test I took and a picture of the baby that I got at the doctors office in a box. I was able to do it since he barely comes around me anymore. I wrapped the box up in wrapping paper and put a ribbon around it to make it look like a Christmas gift. Now I just need to get him to even open it.

I open my night stand drawer and grab the box that I wrapped. I walk out of my bedroom and into the guest room where Peeta sleeps. I walk in and see that he is fast asleep so I go and sit on the bed.

" Peeta?," I say quietly but he doesn't wake up. I call his name again.

He wakes up and looks at me with a tired glare. " What are you doing in here," he asks in a mean tone and I look down at the box in my hand.

" It's Christmas," I say and he ignores me.

" Katniss I'm sleeping," he replies coldly.

" I have a gift for you," I tell him and he looks up at me.

" You really think a gift is going to fix everything," he ask me and I look down again.

" I actually think you will really like it," I tell him trying to get him to just open it.

" Well then what is it?!,"he almost yells and I hand him the box.

" Lets just say it's something that could last a really long time," I inform him.

He looks at me with a confused look and then snatches the box out of my hand. I watch as he opens it with an angry expression on his face. When it's open he stares at whats inside confused.

" What is this?," he asks looking up at me and holding up the picture and I smile a little.

" It's our baby," I say and he looks at the picture in shock.

" What are you talking about Katniss," he says as I get closer to him.

" Im pregnant," I say and his angry eyes turn happy.

   " What?!," he exclaims. I can't tell if he is mad or happy. He looks about in between the two. " How long have you known," he asks me.

   " For almost two weeks now," I say and he has a puzzled expression on his face. " You're not mad, are you?," I ask him.

   " No! I just have so many questions," he says as he looks at the picture in confusion.

  I pause for a minute. " Peeta I have to tell you what really happened."

   " What really happened?," he repeats and I nod.

   " Peeta, Gale threatened me and I didn't know what to do. He pulled me behind your bakery and said that if I told anyone about this whole situation, then he would hurt the people in your bakery," I tell him and he is listening in disbelief.

   " Katniss, why didn't you tell me?," he asks me.

   " Because you were so angry with me that you barely let me speak. And I knew if I told you, you would go after Gale and I didn't want you getting hurt. He had a gun, Peeta," I say with my eyes full of tears. I don't know why I am crying but tears flow out of my eyes like a river.
