Pregnant?

Chapter 2

I woke up on the couch in Peeta's house. I felt Peeta's arms wrapped around my waist. His snores filled the room. I rolled over and snuggled into his chest and shortly fell back asleep wrapped in Peeta's strong arms.

I'm not sure how long later but I woke up to Peeta kissing my forehead. I smiled at him and he kissed me.

"Are you hungry Katniss?"

"Yes. Starving."

He kissed my forhead one last time before he got up and went into the kitchen to make breakfast. I could however tell it's really more like brunch.

A few minutes later Peeta came back out and poked my nose, then picked me up and carried me into the kitchen. He set me down in a chair and he kissed me, then goes back to making our breakfast.

I'm heading back into the games with Peeta's baby. Or should I say Peeta and I's baby. He loves our little bundle of joy and we haven't even met him or her yet and he only found out yesterday.

Peeta came downstairs from his bedroom then sat beside me on the couch and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. I snuggled into him and we stayed like that for who knows how long until a knock on the door interrupted us. Peeta got up and answered the door. I could see his mother standing in the door looking angry as ever... I wonder what her problem is.

"I heard you got your girlfriend pregnant!"

I was taken a back and I could tell Peeta is too.

"M-mom how did you-"

"the girl's mother told me you stupid creature."

I was in a state of disbelief that she just called her own son a stupid creature. It's just another reason why I say she's a witch of a mother and a witch of a wife. I got up off the couch and walked over to Peeta, he wrapped an arm around me and I snuggled into his side. He kissed the top of my head and I could tell his mother was staring daggers at him.

That night I sat on a chair watching Peeta paint. The face he made when he was concentrating. His eyelashes which you wouldn't normally notice because they're so blonde. He looked at me suddenly and I looked down quickly blushing that he had caught me staring at him. He walked over to me and lightly grabbed my chin and tilted my head up to make me look at him. He kissed me and I kissed him back, then he went back to painting.

A few days later Peeta and I were walking towards the square when we noticed that a large crowd had formed staring at something I heard someone's screams of pain. I looked at Peeta and he shrugged.

I suddenly realized who's screams were filling the square...Gale's. What's happened to him? I pushed through the crowd Peeta followed close behind me.

A peacekeeper I did not recognize was whipping Gale. I couldn't help but run and stand between the peacekeeper and Gale. It all happened so fast, he whipped me just below my eye and I fell to the ground in pain. I heard Haymitch screaming at the peacekeeper. I stood up and saw that Peeta had also come over and Haymitch was trying to reason with the peacekeeper.

Everything after that is a little blurry and the next thing I knew I was waking up in Peeta's arms. I moved slightly and realized that Peeta's already awake. He was just not saying anything.

"Peeta?"

He looked down at me.

"Yes Katniss."

"Is something wrong?"

"No just thinking."

"Oh, okay. What were you thinking about?"

"The games."

"Why were you thinking about the games Peeta?"

"I'm just thinking about if I should listen to you, or do what I think I should."

"Oh." I looked down then back up at Peeta.

"Go with what you really think is right, but remember, I want our baby to have both me and you not just me and not just you."

"I'll remember Katniss I promise."

"Good, now I'm hungry."

After we ate we went on a walk to the bakery because Peeta wanted to talk with his dad. We walked hand in hand toward the bakery and I soon realized that mothers were pulling their children away from the windows as we passed by I didn't understand why they would be doing that, it's not like we had done anything to harm people in our district. So why were they afraid of their children watching us?

The whole situation felt off but I couldn't put my finger on why. Maybe it was because we interfered with a peacekeeper, and they didn't want their kids to think of us as good role models? Peeta was a great role model for not just kids but everyone. Me on the other hand I was the worst role model you could ever get, with my sometimes short temper, to my sneaking out of the district and into the woods to hunt illegally, and then come back to give it to Hazelle and the kids. I was the worst role model ever but Peeta loved me and I loved him.

As time went by, the Quell weighed heavier and heavier on my mind. I got more and more nervous for every out come. Peeta couldn't go back. he couldn't.

I woke up at midnight to someone moving around downstairs and quickly realized that Peeta was not beside me. I got up slowly out of bed and went downstairs.

"Hey,you're finally awake." He said.

"Yeah."

As the Quell date came closer and closer I got more and more nervous. Peeta had his own plan as to what he would be doing and I could guarantee you that his plan was completely against mine. He thought it'd be easier to help me if he's with me physically but only one could be victor and it'd be easier if he was a mentor so our baby would have both him and I.
