Drafted

Hey guys, so I thought I came up with this idea for a hunger games fanfiction, I hope you enjoy it!

Katniss's POV

Me and Peeta have been happily married for 2 years and we finally decided we were ready to start to try and have a baby. We have been trying for 4 months and I started to lose hope. This week I started throwing up, but I just thought it was just a stomach bug. Then I remembered that I was supposed to have my period 2 weeks ago. I grabbed a test and I Impatiently waited for the results.

I hope it isn't a false alarm. I don't think I could handle it anymore. I look at the clock to see it has been 5 minutes. I take in a deep breath and look at the results. Positive. Peeta will be so happy to hear this! I decide to wait till dinner to tell him even though I want to tell him right now. No Katniss, you need to wait for the right moment.

I walk in the kitchen to see Peeta making my favorite, lamb stew. "Mmm that looks delicious. Not that I mind, but why are you cooking this tonight?" I ask curiously. We usually only have it on special occasions.

"I just wanted to make my beautiful wife her favorite food. Is that so bad?" He teases.

"No, not at all." I say giving him a light peck on the lips.

He scoops up him and I a bowl of steaming stew. "Honey, I need to tell you something." He says nervously. What is he nervous about? I decide this is the right moment to tell him.

"Really? I have something to tell you and I think you might enjoy it." I say looking into his deep, blue eyes.

"Well then, impress me." He jokes.

"Peeta," I take in a deep breath. "I'm pregnant" He looks up at me grinning ear to ear.

"Really?" He asks to confirm.

"Yes really." I say and he picks me up and starts to spin me around. "Now what was the news you were going to tell me?" I ask curiously and his face falls. He sighs

"I... I have been drafted." He says with his voice beginning to crack. No no no, this can't be happening. He can't be drafted to war. The war has gotten a lot worse in the past couple of years and there hasn't been enough volunteers so they had to start drafting like they used to. I forgot that Peeta could have been drafted.

What if he dies in the war? I can't have my child growing up without a father. I don't think I could survive without him, let alone take care of a child with out him. I finally can't take it and I collapse into Peeta's arms. He holds me while I sob into his shoulder.

"When do you have to leave?" I ask trying to hold back another sob.

"In 3 weeks for training. The training lasts 10 weeks then I will be able to come home until I am needed for battle." He says trying to stay strong. "I am so sorry Katniss, I really wish I could be here, to help you get through this."

"I know, it's not your fault. I just don't want you to get hurt. I can't live without you and I know I can't take care of a child without you." I say trying to calm down.

"I wish I could do something. All I can tell you is I will make sure I will stay strong and I will be here for this baby. We can get through this together." He says looking into my tear filled eyes.

"Together?' I ask cuddling into his shirt.

"Together." He confirms and we crawl into bed. I fall into a restless sleep.

Hey guys, hope you like it! Sorry if I get some of the military stuff wrong. Tell me if you want me to continue. Vote if you liked it.
