After the war (A Mocking jay sequel)

Chapter Five - News

Katniss POV-

When Peeta and I get home we unpack. While I'm unpacking Peeta turns me around and kisses me. 

"What's this for?" I ask between kisses. 

"You've been so stressed lately. I thought I'd relieve some of the pressure." 

"Well I know something else that will definitely relieve the pressure." I grin. 

"Oh yeah? What's that?"

I grin and kiss him more passionately. We kiss for a few minutes before I take off his shirt. When I take off his shirt he takes off mine. He picks me up and I wrap my legs around him and he puts me on the bed. I take off my pants and he takes off his. In no time he's inside of me, I wince at the pain. 

Peeta looks at me and asks me with concern, "Did I hurt you?" 

Soon that pain turns into pleasure and I shake my head no. He kisses my neck and flips me over so I'm on top. I kiss his neck up and down until I reach his lips and kiss him with need. 

"Katniss" he moans into my mouth. I moan.

Soon we are next to each other panting. 

"That was awesome." I say. 

"Yes it was." Peeta grins as he places both elbows on either side of me. "Wanna do it again?" 

I laugh and we do it again and again.

The next morning...

Katniss's POV-

I wake up to Peeta sleeping peacefully next to me. I smile at the sight and give Peeta a kiss on the cheek before I get into the shower. When I get out of the shower I see Peeta has gone down stairs. I put hunting clothes on, grab my father's hunting jacket and grab my bow and leave for the woods.
As I'm on my way out I yell to Peeta, "I'm going hunting. I'll be back in a few hours." 

"Okay see you soon." Peeta responds from the kitchen.

I hunt for some game. It's slow out in the woods but I end up with two squirrels. I walk home and see Peeta has made us lunch. Cheese buns and lamb stew, my favorite. 

I set my game on the counter and walk to the table. I sit down and start eating the lamb stew and cheese buns. Peeta walks out from the bathroom and smiles when he sees me.

"How was hunting?" he asks. 

"It was slow. I got two squirrels. Thinking about making squirrel soup tonight."

Peeta chuckles. 

"What?" I ask. 

"You cooking?" He raises his eyebrow. 

I laugh. "Yes me!" Then I throw a cheese bun at him. He catches it and eats it. 

After I'm finished eating, I go into the living room and watch TV. I flip through the channels until I see the Capitol News Channel. It's about the Hunger Games simulation. It'll be just like the reaping from the Districts but Capitol kids instead. The kids will return back home after there is a Victor.  I click off the tv and take a nap.

4 weeks later..

I wake up with morning sickness and run to the bathroom. I puke for five minutes. Peeta is there to hold back my hair and make me feel better. 

After I'm done puking I take a shower and freshen up. Peeta has made cheese buns, which I don't eat because of my puking session this morning so I go hunting instead.

I walk in the woods quietly and after a few minutes I notice a deer. I pull my bow back, aim, and shoot. Bullseye. I walk over and skin the game. I find a couple of squirrels and decide to go down memory lane and go to the hob. I trade the deer for some soup, and take my squirrels home.

Later that night..

Peeta and I sit at the dinner table as I pour us both soup. 

I dig in and Peeta just watches me eat. 

I set down my spoon. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Peeta says as he snaps back to reality. 

"Okay..." I say suspiciously. 

I get up and grab seconds. Today I have been extremely hungry and I don't know why. After I'm done eating I take a shower and go to sleep. No nightmares tonight.

The next few days**

These past few days I have been puking like crazy in the morning. I've been feeling nauseous and dizzy, I even fell down the stairs. That's when Peeta made me go to the hospital.

Later that day..

Peeta and I arrive at the train station, followed by the paparazzi. Gosh I hate them, but they're just doing their jobs I guess. 

Peeta and I get onto the train and after a few minutes the train leaves to District 11. It's a 30 minute train ride. I feel nauseous the whole ride there and to the hospital. 

Peeta checks me in and everyone stares at us. I don't have the energy to fight so I just sit down. After a few minutes the nurse comes out and calls my name. Peeta and I stand up and walk into the room with the nurse. 

I explain my symptoms. As she writes them down she smiles.

I look at her curiously. "What?" 

Her smile disappears. "nothing, I just want to run a test. If you'll follow me." I follow her out of the room and after five minutes I return to the room. 

Peeta and I wait for thirty minutes until the doctor comes in smiling. 

I look at him irritated. "What?!" 

The doctor continues smiling. "Ms. Everdeen, you're pregnant." 

I sit there for a few seconds until I can choke out the words, "Thank you for telling me." I immediately grab my things and walk out. Peeta walks after me.
