"So this is it."I say."This is it." The cold winter breeze crawls down my spine as I say my final goodbyes to Gale. "All those years of hunting come down to this."
I feel Peeta gripping my shoulder to calm me down. "Goodbye Catnip." I can barely handle the words, I break down to my knees as he climbs into the train.
Peeta helps me into the house, I havent cried this much since Rues death or my fathers or Prims. The thought of them makes me cry more. "Shh… it will be alright." Peeta kisses me gently on the cheek.
It feels nice. "No it's not!" I yell as I turn defensive. "I don't have Prim, my father, Gale, I don't even have my mother!" "You have me." "Don't brag, you'll turn into a jerk and then I'll have no one." I say as I playfully punch his arm. I love Peeta, I really do but I need more than 1 person. The rest of the week drags on.
Its pretty much wake up, take pills, kiss Peeta, eat breakfast, hunt, wake up Haymitch, call Johanna, call Annie, call Effie, eat lunch, kiss Peeta, call my mother, take pills, sleep, wake up from nightmares.
"Hey, look" says Peeta excited as we're making lunch. I look at what he's pointing at. I see two sisters playing in the snow. One about 9 years old and one about 4. As they play the 4-year-old falls down and starts crying. The 9-year-old quickly runs to her side to calm her down.
I smile. It looks just like me and Prim when we were little. I turn to Peeta and say "You know what, I feel better. At least I know that there will be more people like me and Prim." " Great." Peeta says emphasizing the 't'."Well now that your cheered up, I should tell you I'm re-opening the Mellark bakery.
"That's great!"I say excited.
"You know I need someone to help me."
"And who are you going to choose?"
"You."
"Then forget it, I'm horrible."
"You are not."
"Last time I baked I set the bowl on fire."
"Oh yeah, how did that happen?"
"It's still a mystery to me."
"Oh yeah, since we're telling surprises..."
"What?"
I stop chopping the onions in front of me.
"I'm pregnant"
