(Peeta)

Positive, it says positive in big purple letters. Oh my god. I can't believe she's pregnant. Making me a father of 3 children. I'm excited. I wanna express how happy I am, but I don't know if it'd be safe too. I don't know how Katniss is feeling about this. She must know I'm hiding a smile because finally she speaks with a smile and nudging me with her elbow.

"Yes, Peeta, you can smile." And when she says that I can't help it. I let out a huge smile and hug her. I give her a long kiss as I'm still smiling. I can feel her smiling too. Until she finally breaks us apart to say:

"When do we tell the kids?"

"Whenever you want. But I suggest we do it quick cause Levinia already knows you took the test." She sighs and then thinks for a minute. She gets up and reaches her hand out to me. I look at her confused. She rolls her eyes playfully while smiling and grabbing my hand from my lap and pulling me on to my feet and off the bed.

"Come on we gotta tell them sometime huh?" I smile as she pulls me out the room. Luckily Peete's rehearsal got cut short and he got a ride home. I wanna tell the kids together. As we pass Peete and Levinia's rooms she knocks on them and continues walking not stopping until I stop her. I push her into the wall trying not to be too rough or hurt her right before we reach the stairs. I grab her by her waist with both my hands and whisper with our foreheads pressed against each others.

"I love you, Katniss." We kiss hard and it turns into a make out session. She's just about to wrap her legs around my waist until we here the sound of someone clearing their throat. Katniss and I don't even bother looking but we do break apart.

"I love you too, Peeta." She whispers back.

"Aaawwww!" Levinia says in a normal voice.

"I love you too, Daddy!" Yells Peete.

This makes us all laugh. I whisper to Katniss one last time

"Later." In a seductive voice.

(Levinia)

After that awkwardly cute moment, our parents instruct us to the dining room table. It has to be good news. They were obviously about to get it on in the hallway. But I don't know. I mean it has to be the test results obviously. But, it can't be positive, my mom wouldn't be this happy about pregnancy. But my dad would. We'll just have to see. I sit down to the left of Peete while my parents sit in front of us. My mom in front of me, my dad in front of Peete.

"Well, we have some news." My mom says almost sounding nervous. Then it gets quiet for 5 seconds as if my parents forgot we're waiting on them to speak first

"Soooo..you have some news?" I say breaking the silence. Then my dad snaps.

"Oh right, the news. Uuummm, well,"I can see from his arm movements that he grabs hold of my moms hand from her lap and sets their intertwined hands on the table."Your mother's pregnant." I'm speechless. I saw this coming, but what am I supposed to say. Peete and I both haven't said anything. Well, I don't think Peete knows what they're talking about. But I do so I respond to our parents waiting for a reaction.

"Congratulations! I'm so excited!"

"What's is pregnant?" says Peete as he's completely lost so I fill him in.

"Well it means mommy has a baby in her stomach and in 9 months that baby will finally be big enough to come out."

"How did that happen?" I look over to my parents. I know not to tell him but what am I supposed to say?

"That's not important right now. "says my mom. "The good thing is that you're going to be a big brother !" Finally he cheers and is as excited as the rest of us, but I think I jinxed it.

"Wait mommy where does it come out from. How?" My dad speaks up this time

"Well it comes out from her stomach, they're gonna have to cut open her stomach." He gasps as my dad explains C-Section. "But it's okay! Mommy won't feel a thing. It wont hurt her !" My mom nods in agreement even though we all know she won't be having a C-Section. Once my dad has taken Peete upstairs, that leaves my mom and I still at the table.

"Wow, another baby. That's, amazing. How did you react to the results?" I ask with my voice filled with excitement.

"I'm not gonna lie, I didn't know how to react. I was shocked but of course it was obvious your dad was excited before he even showed it so I couldn't help but feel the same way." I get up and hug my mother.

"Remember, I'm here if you need me." Before I walk away I give a light kiss on her cheek. I pass my dad who was in the room long enough to hear my part.

"She's mine." He says in a joking voice referring to the kiss I gave my mom on her cheek.

"Yeah, that baby you put in her belly proves it." I say with a little laugh in it.
