After that two more weeks pass by and I am a week and a day over due. The doctors say that if I don't go into labor myself then they will in the next week.
But for this past week my back has been killing me. It's like every step sends pain towards my lower back so I've been taking it easy. But last night was horrible, my stomach felt tight I couldn't lay down so I just sat up in bed all night against the head board.
"Katniss?" Peeta says. 7:43 AM.
"Yeah babe?"
"I think today could be the day we see him."he says hopeful.
"You've been saying that all week." I tell him.
"I know, but after last night, I'm almost 100% sure that its going to be today."
"I don't think so. Maybe, but I don't think so." I look at the clock,"Hey you should get Willow to school so she isn't late again."
He was reluctant to leave me at first but eventually, grabs the Keys off of our dresser, then says goodbye. I hear the door shut.
About half an hour later, I slowly get up and waddle to the bathroom, but as I slowly sit down... That when the real pain starts. I groan out in pain. But then it oddly passes, so I hurry to finish and make it as fast as I can to the house phone and call Iyana. "Hello?" She answers.
"Iyana?! Look I think the baby is coming where are you?"
"I am almost back to 12, about three hours away." She left two months ago to a 'vacation' with her kids.
"Okay... I'll call if I need you."
"Great." And I hang up to call Peeta. He answers right away.
"Yeah babe?"
"Peeta I think your right."
"Katniss I'm right about a lot of things," he jokes," more info please." Just then a real contraction rips through me and I groan again.
"Katniss?" Peeta yells,"Katniss! Katniss answer me!"
"Peeta this baby is coming right now!"
"Uhh, babe I just dropped willow off I'm in traffic... Can you wait!?"
"Peeta, if I just said this baby is coming now... ITS COMING NOW!"
"Umm ok ugh, um breathe okay in. Out. In. Out." The contraction finally ends but is quickly replaced with tremendous pressure.
"Can you call Haymitch?"
"No he left remember? With Effie.. Honeymoon.. Yesterday." I say through pants. They took Imphany to Effie's mother.
I hear the sudden urgency in his voice change to something like despair."Call Gale."
***
I call him and he is here in less than an hour, but then my contractions have become closer together and painful. I am on the couch and and drenched in sweat.
"What took you so long!" I scream at him.
"I am sorry, Katniss. I live outside of town remember?" He says. I didn't mean to yell at him but right down thats the only volume I have.
I haven't seen or talked to him since D4, but that is at the least of my worries right now.
"Help get me in your car, Peeta took ours."
"I don't think that is safe-" he starts.
"GET ME...IN...YOUR CAR!" He quickly he's picks me up and drives at like 80 mph at passes multiple red lights. He picks me up again and gets me on a gurney, doctors surround me. One of them being the doctor who delivered Willow.
"Nice to see you again Katniss." Dr.Cullet says, "Rate your pain please.'
"6." My voice is faint.
He wheels me up into the maturity section of the hospital and into a room, hooked up on machines and, checks me.
"Okay Katniss your ready to push, you remember how this goes right?" He asks me.
'No!" A contraction comes again," I am waiting for My... My Husband."
Dr.Cullet looks from me to Gale. Then Gale to me. And finally me and Gale again. gale speaks up,"It's complicated."
"Gale Call Peeta... Please! Oww oww ahh." I try to take deep breaths but it only adds more pain. This baby is coming real fast but I don't want to have him...not without Peeta.
*Peeta POV*
I am about two and a half miles away from the hospital when I get a call... From Gale . Knowing he is with her, I answer.
"Peeta?"
"Gale, what is happening?"
"She is ready to push, but she won't until you get here." Katniss whines in the backround," You need to come quick! How far away are you!''
"About two and a half miles now, at the speed I'm going I'll be there in 20 minuets."
"Hold on Katniss wants to talk to you."
Katniss now has the phone," Peeeta... Pleeease huurry." She sobbs," I don't want to do this without you."
"You won't, babe. 20 minuets promise." Then I hang up I need to focus on getting there. But as if my day wasn't bad enough I get pulled over by a peacekeeper in a car.
His badge reads Logan. Latin I think.
"Liscence and registration please."
"Hi, look my wife is in labor and I really need to get there now!" I say.
"Oh sure go ahead, excuse me!" He sarcastically says. "Now here is the part where I let you continue speeding, where you could possibly cause tremendous damage to the public to go see your wife who is about to pop a baby out, and then you will live happily ever after with you and your new baby right? No! Lisence and registration, please."
I do as I am told and after he checks my paper work, he hands me a ticket."$375!"
"If you do the crime, pay the price."
"Um Officer, I think it is ' if you do the crime, you do the time."
"Get lost, Goldilocks." He says. I take a deep breath and go saldy, at the speed limit of 30.
