Katniss's POV-
As I walk out I thank the receptionist.

I run to the train station and get on the train. 

I don't even know where this train is going. As long as it's going away from here.

As I'm hiding in the bathroom, I hear Peeta calling my name. I'm not ready to be a mother. I don't know if I'll ever be ready for kids.

I hear a knock on the door. "Who is it?" I ask wiping away my tears. 

"Katniss, It's Peeta. Open up please" 

I stand up and unlock the door. Peeta stands in the doorway looking at me sympathetically.

"I don't know if I'm ready to be a mom, Peeta." I say between sobs. 

"Oh Katniss." Peeta embraces me. "It's okay. We'll figure it out." 

I pull away from Peeta and look him in his beautiful blue eyes. "I don't think I even want to keep this baby." I look down as soon as I say it. 

There are a few seconds before Peeta lifts up my chin so I have to look at him. "Okay. We can look into abortion." 

I look at Peeta in shock. I can't believe he's being so understanding.

He wants kids so bad. He's given me everything so why can't I give him this small thing? This is a human being we'd be bringing into this world. I don't know if I'm ready for that. But I need to be. For Peeta. 

I shake my head no. "We'll figure this out together. As long as I have you I'll be okay. Do I have you?" 

Peeta looks into my eyes. "Always." 

I smile and we walk out of the bathroom. 

"Do you even know where this train is going?" Peeta asks. 

I laugh. "No." 

We sit down and wait for the train to come to a stop.

A/N; sorry for the short chapter. I just thought it should end here and continue in another chapter. I felt like it finished its purpose for this chapter.
