I sit in the doctor's office feeling numb, and as if I'm hearing his words from another place. I've just learned I'm pregnant, and I've never been so scared in my life. Not even through both games and the rebellion. How could Peeta and I let this happen? How could we have been so stupid? I hate him so much right now! The doctor is explaining that I'll need to come back for regular checkups throughout the pregnancy, and is giving me vitamins. I thank him and walk out the door. Thank God Peeta is still at work at the bakery because all I feel like doing now is breaking down and crying. My mom is there waiting for me, and I break down in her arms, but she tells me everything will be okay, that the games are no more, and I have her and Peeta. She is so happy, I can tell. That's when I hear Peeta come home. I ask my mom to go down stairs and keep him from coming up. She does, but a few minutes later I hear him coming up the stairs. What's happened? What's wrong with Katniss? I hear him asking. Nothing, she's a bit shaken up, but she'll be fine, I promise. Katniss? He asks coming into the room and seeing my tear streaked face. What's wrong sweetheart? Peeta I, I'm pregnant I blurt out. I see a huge smile spread across his face. I know you're scared, but I promise you everything will be okay. I love you and I'll love the baby. I already know that, he's wanted this since we got married five years ago. That's when he kisses me, and I have to hide my face in his chest to hide my smile.
Chapter Two

I'm four months along now, and showing. It's been difficult; there was a time when I couldn't go one morning without losing the contents of my stomach. But Peeta, my mom, and Haymitch's humor have made it easier. Last week I got a call asking me to come to a meeting in district 2 about military planning I agreed to go with my mom's okay, but Peeta is still worried. It's the morning I'm leaving and I start feeling this uneasiness, like something I've tried to block out of my memory, but I can't put my figure on it. When we get to district two I'm exhausted, and just want to rest. The next morning as I'm walking towards the meeting I see a figure coming towards me that looks too familiar. Of course it's Gale Hawthorne. The look of shock on his face most triple the look on mine right now. Katniss? He asks is that you? Are you pregnant? Yes it's me, and yes I am pregnant. Who? Peeta? Did you marry Peeta? Yes Gale. And you have no right to be shocked or upset about this! Catnip this could have been our baby, we could be married. The sound of regret and longing in his voice is almost too much. Yes there probably was a time when that could have been true, but you're bomb went off and made that impossible. Kat I never wanted that to happen, you know that. But it did, and what's done is done. It doesn't even matter anymore anyway. Please Gale I don't want to talk about anymore. It's hard enough as it is. Please just leave me alone! Don't you think this hasn't been hard on me? That there hasn't been one day I want to go back and change what happened? I said I don't want to talk anymore. I say walking away. Lucky I have some time before the meeting. I go back to my room and call my mom, and start crying again explaining what happened. She is very understanding and just lets me talk and cry.

The next morning thankfully I get to go home. I am so happy to be able to see Peeta again. I spent the whole meeting trying unsuccessfully to ignore Gale, but I could feel him watching me. Other than that it went fine. The train pulls up in 12 and I practically run Peeta and give him a huge hug. Haymitch and my mom are there too. High how did it go? Peeta asks, it went just fine, I'm glad to be home. Let's go. We get home and Peeta asks if it's okay if he can go work at the bakery for a little while, he won't be gone too long. I say it's fine. Shortly after he leaves there's a knock at the door. It's Haymitch. Alright tell me what happened. I ran into Gale I say, and I tell him the whole story. Well sweet heart I know that was hard, but don't mess things up with Peeta! I won't, I swear I won't. I don't want to ever see Gale again. That night Peeta asks if I'm okay. I explain to him what happened with Gale, but that it upset me a lot, and that I don't want to see him again. I know how hard that must have been, but your home now he says and pulls me in closer. A while later I ask what he's thinking about, and he says baby names, we talk about that for a while and settle on Primrose for a girl or Cinna for a boy. We just sit like that for the rest of the night, so happy. The next morning when I wake up I can tell something is wrong, and bed feels all wet. Peeta isn't there, and I start screaming for Peeta. He runs up the stairs and his face whiteness when he sees the bed. I'm calling the doctor he yells. The doctor comes and rushes me to the hospital.
