Life after the fall of panem

Chapter 45

I'm sweating, moaning in pain. I'm almost crying. This excruciating pain; completely unbearable. My skin is crawling, my hair is sticking to the back of my neck. My nails are digging in to my palms as I squeeze in pain. The walls around me are white. They have tiny squares in the pattern. The bed has rails. The blanket is suffocating me. I physically can not bare this pain. "It's okay Katniss, I'm here." I know this voice. I love the person who owns this voice. "I'm here Katniss, I'm here. Always" he's holding my hand. He's wiping the sweat off my forehead. His lip is quivering. He looks so worried. I can't help but wonder what he's thinking. Comforting him right now would sooth everything. He opens his mouth, "Oh my go-"

...

My eyes barely open. My jaw is locked. My fingers tingle. My toes crack. "Hey." I look in the direction of the voice. "Peeta." I manage to whisper. "She's beautiful." 'She. she's a girl? This whole time I was expecting a boy.' Peeta stands and places her in my arms. Her eyes lock with mine. Her beautiful smile, eyes, and nose. Everything about her is perfect. "You're not the prettiest girl in the world anymore Katniss." My eyes flicker to Peeta but I can't help but smile. "What shall we name her?" He asks.
