Levinia's POV may be short cause I wanna be on Katniss' POV when she's taking the test. Enjoy!!! -Torii

(Levinia)

I can see my moms worried. She doesn't even try to hide it. She knows none of us can go in there and buy a pregnancy test without seeing it on TV or in the papers. I unbuckle my seatbelt and scoot up to the edge. I see my dad's hand holding hers so I put a hand on her shoulder.

"You'll be fine...don't pay for it if you have to. Just run out!" I say trying to lighten the mood. My dad smiles at me, so does my mom but there's still worry in her face though. Then she finally speaks.

"Let's send Levinia in!"

"Let's not send Levinia in!" I say immediately after she's spoken.

"Why not?!" Says my mom sounding almost childish. I try not to sounds so rude when saying this but I think that's how it comes out anyway.

"Well, geez. Which sounds worst? "13 year old Mellark daughter caught buying pregnancy test?" Or "Victor, Katniss Mellark spotted buying pregnancy test?" she sighs because she knows I've made a point. So my dad speaks up .

"Just let me go in. We're already here. One of us has to go in there sometime. Katniss, you don't wanna be seen, and Levinia, that just won't look right. So I'll handle it." He unbuckles his seatbelt and leans over and kisses my mother on her cheek. She watches him as he disappears behind the automatic doors. There's an awkward silence for a few seconds.

"Mom, if you don't mind me asking, why are you so worried?"

She sighs before speaking "Pregnancy isn't easy, and its not my favorite." I giggle a little

"Yeah, I don't think its anyone's favorite. And no one said it was easy."

"And I'm afraid, that I won't raise this child the right way. I won't be a good mother." I get a little upset. I hate when my mother second guesses herself. She thinks too much and always expects the worst of herself.

"You're an amazing mother, and you'll raised me to be who I am right now. I don't know about you but I'm pretty pleased with your work." This makes he laugh a little.

"Peete's growing up to a confident little man. Just know that if at anytime you think you can't do it, dad's here, and so am I." Finally, I can see, any doubt she had is gone. She reaches her arm around me and pulls me in for a hug. Right then my dad opens the car door and gets in closing it beside him. He looks at us and sets the plastic bag between them on the floor like were weird.

"Are we okay in here ?"

"Yes, were fine" I say with a little laugh to it. I sit back and put my seatbelt back on. I here my mom whisper over to my dad.

"She has a way with words like you." They lean in to each other and share a kiss that looks like neither of them want to end. But we gotta get home somehow.

(Katniss)

I walk into the bathroom slowly taking my time. Levinia gave an amazing speech, and the more I think of it, the more confident my walk gets before I close the door behind me. I do what I need to do in the bathroom and leave the test on the dresser and sit down on the edge of the bed. I try to stay positive and think about everything Levinia said the the car and what Peeta has said to me in the past before Levinia and after her before Peete. Soon I'm distracted by a pair of strong and muscular arms wrapped around my waist. Peeta and I sit in silence, his arms still wrapped around me, his head on my shoulder,and my head rested on his. That's until until we here a beep near by. We sit up and look at each other. I know we want one more, he especially wants this. But not only do I not want to go through this pregnancy, its not the best time for him either. I'm hormonal, always hungry, I need help with everything, and my least favorite part is getting fat, even though Peeta thinks its beautiful.

"Do you want me to check it?" He says in a calm voice.

"Yes, please." I say almost sounding like an innocent child.

He releases me from his grasp and grabs the test but he doesn't look. Instead he flips it upside-down and looks me in the eyes. Oh how I loved his sparkly blue eyes.

"Together" and leans in and gives me a small passionate and hard kiss before looking back at the device in his hand. We grabs mine with his other hand and flips over the device. And there it is. In big clear purple letters the word reads "POSITIVE".
