Chapter 34

Peeta laughs, "Yes." I'm confused, if Gales not at the door who is? "Come in." Peeta yells. The door opens. 'Who is behind that door!' It's driving me insane! Why won't they just open the door faster ! I'm frozen .. It's Annie. "Annie?" I ask. "Hey Katniss ! Peeta asked me to come over and help out . He said you had morning sickness. He wanted me to help you out with the process too." That's who he was talking to earlier. I look at Peeta. He's smiling , cheeks pink, and laughing. "What?" She said. "Nothing, Annie, I'm glad you're here. But I'm scared for you." I say. "Why?" "Gale is here." "Isn't that a good thing?" "No, I don't know how to tell you this but that Capitol is rebuilding, under snows granddaughter's control. Her game is Golde. She had to change her name. Gale is working for her." She looks down. "It's never going to stop is it." "It will. Mockingjay or not, wife or not, mother or not, I won't let it happen." Peeta smiles and puts his hand in my leg. Annie half smiles. "Finnick was right, you are a fighter." She smiled bigger , then frowned. "Ohh finnick..." She whispered to herself. "Come on let's go down stairs !" I suggest. "Okay." She half smiles. We walk down the stairs and pass the basement. I look through the looker and see Gale sleeping on the love seat. I turn back to Annie, who is now on the couch. Peeta is in the kitchen. He's about to make us a snack. Annie and I turn on the tv and begin talking. We talk about pregnancy, how much the baby will depend on us, and that I'm lucky I have Peeta because raising a kid alone is hard. Peeta doesn't hear much of it, or if he does he doesn't acknowledge any of it. There is a knock on the door. I get up and look through the window. "Finally!" I gladly shout. I open the door . "Haymitch !"
