"Ready?" I say squeezing Kat's hand. "Ready as ever." She says in return. We walk into her house and into the kitchen where Kat's mom has dinner waiting for us. Katniss invited me over for dinner with her mom, since we have some news to tell her. The first 5 minutes of dinner go by smooth and fine, until Kat has to speak up.

"Mom, I have something to tell you." She says with squinted eyes.

"Mhm dear?" She says looking up from her plate.

Kat breathes in an out. "Mom, I'm pregnant."

"What?" She says laughing. She realizes we are serious and turns to me and her expression tightens.

"Katniss Everdeen you cannot be pregnant!" She says sharply. Katniss keeps her face still, but full of fear.

"How could this happen!?" she says angry.

"Mom, I'm sorry." Katniss says slipping a tear down her face.

"I don't even know what to say!" Mrs. Lynn says storming up. "We will talk about this later. I need to go think for a little." She says shaking her head. I hear the door slam as she leaves. Katniss turns to me and starts crying. I hold her tight and she mostly stays that way until her mom returns 30 minutes later.

"Ready to talk?" Mrs. Lynn say to Katniss whose still in my arms. Katniss shakes her head yes but doesn't pick up her head until her mom starts.

"We'll starters, wow Katniss. I can't believe you're pregnant. Second, I can't believe this happened. You're 17! Why would you even think about that! You are way too young to have a child, you are only a child yourself. I know you didn't mean for this to happen, but it is. And I know you 2 want to go to college. I don't know what will exactly happen, but it will all be okay." She says very calmly. Katniss walks over to her mom and hugs her. She collapses in her arms and stays there crying as well.

"Peeta, have you told you father yet?" Mrs. Lynn asks me.

"No... I haven't." I say back.

"I think you should go now and tell them. You can call Katniss later and talk to her then." She says stroking Kats hair.

"Okay. I'm so sorry for all this.... happening." I say awkwardly and leave. I drive home not wanting to tell my dad. I pull into the driveway and open the front door dreading these next few moments.

"Hey son! How was dinner?" My dad says patting my back as I walk into the kitchen.

"Good, but dad we have to talk about something." I say not knowing how to tell him.

"Sure." he says taking a seat on the couch. "What's up bud?"

"Well, tonight I didn't just go over to Kat's house for dinner.." I say looking down.

"Okay? I'm not following exactly what you're saying." he says unsure.

"We also told Kat's mom that Katniss is pregnant." I say super fast.

"That katniss is what?" He says emphasizing what.

"That... that she's pregnant." I say taking a breath.

"Peeta! How could you do that to Katniss!" He says angry for the first time.

"I know dad. I don't know what I was thinking." I say looking down.

"Well, you need to marry Katniss! You need to take this responsibility and start a family. You two plan on keeping the baby, don't you?" He says.

"I don't know dad! I don't know anything! I just found out 4 days ago!" I yell.

"You knew Monday? And today is Friday??" He says shaking his head.

"Yep." I say licking my lips.

"I don't even know what to tell you anymore Peet. We can finish this conversation later." He says walking to his room. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought.

Saturday morning I wake up tucked up on the couch. I yawn and sit up confused why I'm here. Maybe I fell asleep here last night. I wrap my blanket around me and go to the kitchen smelling breakfast being made.

"Goodmorning baby. Hungry?" my mom asks. I nod my head in approval.

"So, at 11 we are going to head to the obstetrician's office. You can ask Peeta to come if he wants, as the father of this child." My mom says.

"Mom I don't want this baby." I say putting my head in my hands.

"Let's just see the doctor first, okay?" I nod. "We leave at 10:30. We'll get through this." She says calmly Wow. I can't believe how she's acting to this! Why is she so calm? She makes me eat breakfast and then I make my way upstairs for a shower. I get dressed then call Peeta at 9:45.

"Hello beautiful," he says in his sleepy voice.

"Goodmorning." I say back smiling through the phone.

"What's up?" He asks, "Well, my mom schelduled a doctors appointment for me today at 10:30 and I thought you would want to come...." I say.

"Oh! Suree...?" He says a little confused.

"They are just going to do like blood tests and stuff," I say.

"Oh! Okay, I'll be at your house in 15." He says and hangs up. I look up some stuff on my laptop about being a teen mom and I start getting worried. The statistics of it being a regular baby aren't high. I have to go on the right diet, and regualarly work out. I mean I already do that, but its serious that I do it now. I also learn that I need to go on all these viatimins and fiber stuff. Do I even want this baby? Of course not! But what are my options? This is going to be a lot more work then I thought....

Hey guys! what did you think about their parents finding out?? I would love if you guys would tell me what you thought of this chapter! It would make my day. Don't forget to vote!
