Brutus didn't volunteer for Cato! CATO IS GOING BACK IN THE GAMES!

After the reaping I go to see him and he's sad. If he dies he will never meet his baby.

"You have to win" I say crying.

"Babe, I'll try." He says, I know he can win but this is against victors. Like I know Cato can win this but he's going against people who have also won the games. Everyone in last games were very new it, but all these victors know the games, they have already survived them.

After a few minutes of saying good bye I found out that I will be their mentor, and Brutus will also be their mentor. At least I can be with Enobaria, Brutus and Cato again.

We get on the train and Cato and I find our self our old room, well Cato's old room from the train last year. It looks the same way. I have to keep remembering that I already went into the games. It just feels all new again for some reason.

I put my bags on the bed and Cato does the same. We agreed that we will unpack our bags after dinner. Plus we will be in the Capitol tomorrow morning so we only need comfy clothes and dress clothes for when we reach the Capitol.

We go to lunch, for lunch is some chicken breast. At lunch it was pretty quiet, Enobaria is hurt, Brutus is hurt and so is Cato and I. Of course Pearl tries to spice things up and she just goes on and on about her friends in the Capitol how they had a wedding and the bridesmaids wore and certain colour of dresses that Pearl thought another colour would look better. Ugh it's so annoying I'm ready to throw her out the window.

On the train there are some doctors and I have an appointment today. I would rather have an appointment here then in the Capitol. I don't trust the Capitol especially Snow.

After we finish lunch I go to the doctors room and await for the doctor to come in. Cato also comes. Today we are going to find out the gender.

The doctor comes in and I'm so thankful it's a District 2 doctor. If it was a Capitol doctor I don't think I would even have went to the appointment.

She puts the gel on my stomach and gives me an ultrasound. Cato holds my hand while looking at my stomach.

"Clove how far are you?" Cato asks me.

"About 2-3 months why?" I reply.

"Your stomach looks more like 6 months." He observes.

"Well I have an explanation for that." The doctor says.

"What?" I question her.

"You are having twins." She smiles.

I look at Cato and smile. He leans down and kisses me on the lips.

"Would you like to know the genders?" The doctor asks

"Yes!" I say excitedly.

"Clove, you are having a girl and a boy!" She says so happily.

"Oh my god thank you so much!" I say hugging the doctor.

"Clove we are having twins!" Cato yells excitedly.

We both run out of the doctors office into the dining cart where Enobaria and Brutus are still.

"Guys guess what!" I say.

"What?" They both ask at the same time with excitement in their voices.

"Cato and I are having a baby boy and girl!"  I almost shout.

"Oh my god Clove I'm so happy for you!" Enobaria says and runs to me and hugs me.

"Oh Clove, I'm so happy for my daughter!" Brutus says so happily.

He did not just say what I think he did. Did he?

"Daughter?" I question.

Brutus looks shocked for a moment and then embarrassed.

"Clove, I think you should catch up with Brutus." Enobaria says leaving the room.

I look over at Cato and he looks just as shocked as I do. I sit down at the table and so does Cato.

"What do you mean daughter?" I question.

"Clove, no matter what I say please don't get mad okay?" Brutus asks.

I just nod my head. There is no way Brutus is my father. We look nothing alike. Right?

"Your mom and I before you were born had a fling, and one thing lead to another and she got pregnant. She wouldn't speak a word to me after she gave brith to you. She told your other "dad" that he was the father and paid money for the doctor to lie to your dad saying he was the father. When I got a DNA test and it proved that I was the father. I never got to see your first steps, heat your first words, watch you grow up. Please don't be mad at your mother it was what she wanted and I wanted to respect that and till this day I respect her decision." He says with tears starting to form in his eyes. I go over and hug him.

I mean we have the same eyes. My mother or father don't have these eyes and they always said it was a mix but I never believed them. We act kinda like each other and when I first met him we had a special bond. It now kinda makes sense. But why would my mother try and hide this?

I look over at Cato and he still looks shock. He's still talking all this information into his brain. I can tell it's hard but it is what it is and we have to accept that.

"Can I call you dad?" I ask.

"Of course, I've been hiding this for a long time so it feels good to let it all out." Brutus says. Or should I say dad.

Enobaria comes back into the room and sits down at the table. There is no Pearl in sight thank god.

"So I see you two talk, and Cato knows too." She says.

"Yeah, I'm happy to know he's my dad!" I say smiling.

My "dad" that passed away is still always in my heart and he raised me too but he wasn't my actual dad.

Then was dinner. For dinner we had steak.

Pearl was talking about how she wants to get married so bad. And all of us just had to sit a listen.

After dinner Cato and I watch the reapings when Enobaria and Brutus go to their room.

District one: Cashmere and Gloss. This is who Cato and Enobaria will be teaming up with

Our district: Enobaria and Cato.

District three: Beetee and Wiress. Not fighters but very very brilliant.

District four: Finnick, and Mags.

I don't remember any of the tributes from the other district until it gets to Johanna. She seems like someone I would actually be friends with. Enobaria told me her and I are very much alike.

From district twelve: Haymitch and since there was no female victor they had to get someone to get reaped. A girl named Madge was reaped. She seems really nice. Maybe she was friends with Katniss or Peeta.

After the reaping, we shut the T.V off and hear some noice from Enobarias and my dads bedroom.

"Should I tell them to quiet down?" Cato asks.

"Babe that was us and they were prob saying the same thing."  I say laughing.

Cato laughs too and carries me to our bedroom where we make out for about 2 hours until we decide to go to bed.
