Chapter Fifty Nine

PEETA'S POV

I groan as I sit at the table, sick as a dog while Katniss tries to make breakfast. Willow watches me as I blow my nose. "Daddy you aren't feeling good are you?" I shake my head. "No my little poppyseed I think daddy's sick." She smiles.

"Hopefully you'll feel better." I giggle. "Thank you." Katniss sets down some burnt toast with a sheepish smile. She wasn't feeling well this morning with her morning sickness and all but now she's fine. "Sorry about the burnt toast..." "It's fine honey, you tried." I say. She clears her throat. "Cornflakes it is." She sets the bag on the table with the flask of milk. I make all of us our bowls and we eat in silence. After Katniss finishes she puts her hand on my forehead.

"Oh, you're burning up." "Will daddy be okay?" Haymitch opens the door. "Come on sweet pea, time for school." I asked him to walk Willow to school so Katniss wouldn't have to do it and I'm sick so. "Yeah daddy will be fine, have fun at school honey." Katniss says and Willow grabs her bag from the floor, kisses Katniss's cheek then my burning one. "Feel better daddy." Then she walks out the door, taking Haymitch's hand.

Katniss stands. "Alright, up in bed for you Mister." I stand and as I go past her she slaps my butt and I jump a little. I turn slowly and see the smirk on her face. "I'm just trying to slap the sick outta ya." She tucks me in and kisses my forehead. Then she sits crisscrossed on her side of the bed. "Sorry I kinda ruined breakfast." "Hey it's fine, I know you suck at cooking." She laughs.

"You could've sugarcoated a little you know." I giggle and then start coughing, my throat hurting worse. I throw my head back against my pillow. "God whatever this is, it's nasty." Katniss strokes my hot cheek. "I know honey, I hate seeing you so miserable." I smile. "I'm not as miserable when you're around." She smirks. "Stop flattering." She lays her head on my chest, covering herself up with the blanket. "Your nightmares have been getting worse haven't they?" I look down at her, her grey eyes gleaming with guilt.

"Why do you ask?" I whisper. "You whimper my name at night, or you go dead stiff like a log." I scratch the back of my head. "I guess they have." She kisses the birthmark on my shoulder. "Well I'll remind you every night that I'm here and you can't get rid of me until we are like a million years old alright?" I move my hand under her shirt and place it over her now small bump. "I like that idea." "So do I." She says. Later that day Katniss and I are eating popcorn from a large bowl that sits in my lap. She was craving it so she got like three bags out of the cabinets.

She puts a buttery handful in her mouth and then puts a handful in mine, a pattern that makes me smile. She flips through the channels on the hologram as well and our pictures pop up on a news channel with the word pregnant in big bold letters. Katniss goes pale, dropping her handful of popcorn. "How do they know? Who could've told?" Cesar grins into the camera. "Today we learned that the star crossed lovers of district twelve are expecting another child and what better way to figure out than by a person that lives with them everyday."

They show a clip of Willow walking with Haymitch to school, Haymitch trying to block her from the cameras but she gets out from behind him. "Hi Capitol!" Cesar laughs as he hears his own voice from the clip from this morning. "Why hello Willow! Where are you going right now?" "To school, where I go to make myself smarter." "That's good, what's your favorite thing to do there?" She grins. "Paint like my daddy." "Fabulous! Speaking of daddy, how is he?" "Oh he's sick today." She says with her bright blue eyes turning sad.

"Oh no with what?" "Cesar back off I gotta get junior to school." Haymitch says but Willow shushes him. "Be nice Haymitch to this nice man in the camera, school can wait a second." She gasps. "Maybe he knows auntie Effie! Hi auntie Effie!" Cesar laughs. "Yes I do know auntie Effie she's a good friend of mine, but it's very sad your daddy's sick... What does he have." "Oh just a cold." She says giggling. He sighs in relief in the clip. "Well that's very good, how's your mommy?" "Willow come on you're going to be late, let's go-" "Oh she's doing amazing! Guess what Cesar!" "What is it?"

She leans in close, a grin cracking so widely that she looks like she's about to burst. "My mommy's having another baby!" Haymitch slaps a hand over his face. "Oh shit." He mutters. Willow giggles, her dark curls bobbing up and down. Haymitch scoops her up. "Well I gotta get going nice talking to ya Cesar!" And with that he rushes away quickly. "So Katniss Mellark once again is suspecting another Mellark baby, how exciting I can barely contain it! hopefully it'll be just as cute as Willow what a sweetheart!" Katniss turns off the hologram from Cesar.

I look over at her and see her mouth gaping open. "Honey?" I say softly. She puts her face in her hands. "She's just like you! She can't keep a damn secret! She let the next baby bomb drop... Oh dead god the Capitol will be up our butts forever." I giggle. "Must just be a Mellark thing." She gives me the death glare.

"Come on, maybe a few people saw that broadcast it isn't a big deal." I say and then turn back on the hologram and start flipping through channels and all I see is Willow on every single one.

I look over at Katniss with a sheepish grin. "Okay maybe a few more people saw it than I thought." Katniss is best red and I think one thing, this will not end well for the Capitol.
