After the war (A Mocking jay sequel)

Chapter 7- Sharing the news

Katniss's POV-
We walk off the train and to my surprise, we are in the Capitol. I thought about leaving but Peeta convinced me to stay.

*Flash back to five minutes ago*

I walk off the train and realize we're in the Capitol. I turn around but the train doors have already closed. I'm banging on them when Peeta grabs my arm.

 "What's wrong?" 

I breathe heavily. "I don't want to be here. Let's go." 

I go to purchase two tickets back to District 12 when Peeta stops me. "We're already here, might as well take a look around." 

When Peeta says this I turn around to look him in the eyes, seeing if he was serious. I said, as calmly as I could, "Peeta, are you serious?" I pause. "Okay, if  we stay, what would we do here?" 

I can tell I stumped Peeta because it takes him a second. "We could visit Haymitch and Effie."

I had forgotten they live here. I agreed because I wanted to catch up with Haymitch and Effie, see how they're doing.

Peeta and I walk to Effie's house, and of course the paparazzi follows us, yelling ridiculous questions, like, "Is it true that you're supporting killing the dolphins?" I couldn't believe they had asked that.

*Flash back ends - Now*

Katniss's POV-

When we arrive at Effie's door, we knock and wait for an answer. After a few moments Effie answers the door and shrieks, "Katniss! Peeta! Hello! Come in, come in!" She moves out of the way so we can walk in. 

Effie leads us into the living room. "What brings you to the Capitol?" 

Peeta and I look at each other.

 "Is Haymitch here? We want to tell you guys something." I ask.

Effie looks at the both of us curiously. "Yes he is here. Haymitch! Peeta and Katniss are here!" 

After a few moments Haymitch comes down the stairs. "Hello sweetheart, bread boy." Peeta rolls his eyes as we all sit down. 

Peeta holds my hand as I blurt out, "I'm pregnant." 

Haymitch and Effie look shocked and then start smiling. "Oh congratulations! Congratulations!" Effie shrieks as she hugs me and Peeta. 

"We have to have a party!" She screams in excitement. "I'll call the tailor. Oh! And I can call my friend at the bakery to make some pastries. I know Peeta your pastries are the best but you haven't tried my friend's pastries! They are delicious! Oh! And we ca-"

 "Effie." I interrupt. "We are not having a baby shower or anything at all. I'm going to do everything I can to avoid the paparazzi finding out. I want to keep my child out of the spotlight for as long as I can. I know I can't keep them out of the spotlight forever, but I can at least try to keep them out of the spotlight for a couple years."

This puts a shocked expression on Effie's face. Haymitch doesn't look surprised. Effie keeps going on and on about how we should announce it. I kept telling her no, that I made up my mind. 

She looked at me as if this was the end of the world. "How do you expect to keep this a secret from the paparazzi?" Effie asks. 

"I'll do everything that I can."  Haymitch nods while Effie continues to look at me incredulously.

 "Well, we better get going." Peeta says. He stands up and reaches his hand out for me to take. I take his hand and we say our byes to Effie and Haymitch. 

We are surrounded by the paparazzi at the train station, I try to keep calm even though I want to punch all of them. Shortly after, the train arrives to take us to District 12
