The sterile smell hits me as soon as I walk into the room. I steadily sit in the seat as Peeta sits next to me and I begin to realise how real this is.
"So Katniss, I believe you are a couple weeks pregnant according to Mr Mellark's phone call so can you tell me what's been happening?"
"Well, I was feeling a bit sick the other week and I've been feeling really bloated but I actually haven't eaten anything in the last couple of days so I decided to take a test because I was...recently, uhm, active and uhm," I tried to avoid his gaze. I've known Dr Aurelis for a long time and I feel like if I look into his eyes, there'll be nothing but disappointment.
"Okay, Katniss. Sometimes those tests aren't accurate so we're quickly just going to do one now and we should know some definite results." He stood up and told me to wait for one of the nurses to come and get me. I curled up in Peeta's arms while he stroked my back.
"Why are you here Peeta?" I asked. I don't know why I asked but all of a sudden my mouth was moving and words came out. It happens a lot.
"I'm here because you're my friend, and you're in trouble and that's what friends do. They help their best friends when they're in trouble."
I stared up at him, astounded that he was seeing the big picture.
"Yeah but Peeta, if you keep hanging around me and helping me, people are going to think you are the father, I don't want to hold you down to that."
Peeta didn't get time to answer because at that moment, the nurse came through the door and motioned me to follow her. I walked into a room that was about the same size as the doctor's office but instead contained a toilet and sink. I did what I had to do and got out of there. I snaked my hand out the door and handed the nurse my... business. I didn't want to head back to the office just yet until I waited for the nurse to come back and tell me that the results were in. I followed her back into the room and sat in my seat next to Peeta.
"The test came back positive so from now on we can pescribe you tablets to keep you and the baby healthy and we can also work out a plan for dieting and exercising." He stopped but Dr Aurelis looked like he wanted to say more.
"What is it?" I questioned,
"Well, we need to figure out how you're going to handle this. Will you keep it? Will you continue with your studies and raise a child? These are things we need to discuss between you, your mother and the father. I assume Peeta, as the father you would like to be in this discussion correct?" Peeta's hand went still, as he had been stroking me since I came back.
"He isn't the father!" I blurted out, word vomit once again.
Dr Aurelis turned towards me with a confused look on his face.
"Well, if Peeta is not the father, then who is?" I turn to look at Peeta and my mouth becomes dry. I watch his face distort from empathy to anger as I say the words,
"Gale, Gale Hawthorne is the father of my child."
