Pregnant during the war: Everlark

A horrible nightmare and a proposal.

⚠️ Warnings; none. ⚠️

Peeta's POV.

Today's the day. I am going to propose to Katniss. And Thom, one of my old friends is finally going to ask Delly out on a date. I really hope that she says yes, but she probably will as she's had a crush on him ever since I met her.

Delly just would not stop going on about how amazing he is. It got kinda annoying at times, but that's Delly for you.

My thoughts are interrupted when I see a very scared and confused Prim running towards the bakery.

I immediately drop the sack of flour off my shoulder which drops onto the floor and splits open, making flour go everywhere- but right now, that's not what I really care about.

I have to find out why Prim is running faster than she probably ever has, to me.

She finally reaches the bakery and I run out towards her. She starts sobbing hysterically.

"Hey, hey, Prim. It's okay." I say, trying to calm her. "What happened?"

She looks up at me with scared eyes. "It's Katniss."

I am about to say something when she holds up a finger gesturing me to listen to her.

"She told me that she was gonna take a nap, and I of course told her that it's fine as the baby is obviously making her tired. I decided to visit her again after I got home from school. But instead of a happy Katniss, I heard screams coming from you guys' house. I ran in, upstairs to your room. She was there, thrashing around and screaming. I tried to wake her up, but it didn't work. After about 5 minutes of this, I ran to the bakery." I look at her, dumbfounded.

"She's having another nightmare. We have to go before it gets too intense for her." I say, trying to stay calm.

Prim nods, then we start running like we're mad.

But we have to run to get to Katniss in time, because if we don't, something might happen.

And we don't want anything to happen.

We finally reach our house after what seems like an eternity.

I can already hear Katniss' bloodcurling screams.

I run up the stairs, taking probably 4 steps at a time. Prim follows closely behind me.

I burst the door open to our room and see Katniss still thrashing around wildly and screaming.

"Oh my god." I whisper to myself. I run over to her and start to shake her shoulder.

She's still screaming but she's not moving around as much now.

"Katniss! It's not real! You're okay! It's just a nightmare!" I attempt to tell her over her screams.

Her eyes just won't open up.

After a couple of minutes of watching this, I tell Prim to look away. Even if she sees me as a brother, she probably doesn't want to watch what's about to happen.

Prim leaves our room, and I let out a sigh of relief.

I place my lips onto Katniss' in a hope that she will wake up. She doesn't open her eyes, but I can feel her lightly kiss back.

I pull away to see Katniss awake, and am relieved that she's finally awake.

"Katniss, baby, are you okay?" I ask her, slightly worried since she was screaming like 4 minutes ago.

"Yeah. I'm fine. It's just.. these nightmares- they get to me really bad." She answers shakily.

I pull her into a hug to let her know that it's okay.
