Katniss POV- (The next morning)
"You alright?" Peeta asks me quietly, rubbing my back.
"Not really." I say truthfully.
I feel horrible.
My head is pounding, my whole body is achng and my chest hurts too. It hurts to breathe and my throat is raw I feel like I'm going to puke.
Peeta puts his hand up to my forehead, "You're burning up."
I sigh and close my eyes, leaning my forehead against his arm.
"Do you think you need to go to the doctor?"
I shake my head, "No and they're not open on Sundays anyways. Just give me some medicine I guess and we will go from there."
"That's crazy how you woke up sick. Did you feel fine when we went to bed?"
I nod my head, "I felt great." I say truthfully.
"Wow. That's crazy."
"You really need to go get the girls but if I'm sick I don't want to be around the baby or them." I say truthfully.
He sighs, "I bet your mom will watch them until you feel better, I could call and ask."
"No. Bring them here but I won't get up. I don't want them in here but I want them home."
"I'll call her and see what she thinks and maybe she will know what to do."
I roll my eyes.
"I'm going to find you something and to call your mom." Peeta says sitting up.
I lay my head on the pillow and he pulls the covers up on me, "You try to go back to sleep."
I don't reply and he kisses the top of my head and goes.
Peeta POV- (On the phone with Mrs. Everdeen)
"Hello?"
"Hey, Katniss is sick and I wanted to see what you thought we should do." I say.
"What's wrong with her?" She asks.
"She has a headache, sore throat, cough, achy body, chest pain." I say, naming it off.
She sighs, "Wow. That doesn't sound good. It sounds like the flu."
"That's not good." I say truthfully, worried.
"Not at all. I'll keep the kids until she's better. I know she's going to argue but we don't want them getting sick, especially the baby. If babies catch it, it usually doesn't end well." Mrs. Everdeen sighs.
My heart sinks, "Is Rye alright? He doesn't seem to be sick or anything, does he?"
"Not at all. I may be wrong with what she has but I wouldn't risk it, especially with a newborn."
I sigh, "She's gonna be upset about it but can you keep them all until she's better?"
"Yes, of course."
"Does Willow seem fine to you?"
"As normal as can be. Skyler seems fine too."
"Good." I say.
"If she's not better by tomorrow, take her to the doctor. Until then I would have her take a hot shower and sleep. Get her something for her head and just let her sleep it off. If it doesn't help take her to the emergency room."
"Okay." I say.
"Could you bring me over some more milk or some formula? He's gonna need more soon and maybe diapers." She says.
