Ch. 1
Hey everyone! So, this is Part 2 to HITPWILY, so if you haven't read it yet you should. Otherwise you won't understand… xD
Each chapter will be based on one month of Katniss's pregnancy. So let's say, this chapter, Katniss is 4 months pregnant. Next chapter she'll be 5 months pregnant. And so on. Happy reading!
4 Months
Katniss woke feeling Peeta's strong arms wrapped around her. His body was pressed firmly against her back. Curiously, she shifted her shoulder to feel soft skin, which meant Peeta wasn't wearing a shirt.
No wonder it was so warm.
She struggled at first, but she was able to wriggle out of his grasp and get out of the bed. Katniss reached towards him and brushed back hair from his forehead. He raised his eyebrows when her hand touched his head. He sighed and moved into a new sleeping position. Then she gave him a soft kiss on nose.
Katniss looked out the open bedroom window to see that the sun was just arriving. The ground outside had frost on it.
She closed the window and then stripped herself of her robe and her pajamas, and then walked over to the wooden wardrobe and put on some clothes.
When she slipped a shirt over her head she realized it didn't fit anymore. Her belly had grown too much and this was probably one of the last times she'd go hunting for a long time. Peeta wouldn't let her in a few weeks.
She put on a longer shirt and then left the bedroom. Feeling lazy, she pulled her dark hair into a ponytail. Katniss approached the front door and slipped on her hunting boots and her father's hunting jacket. Then she wrapped a dark scarf around her neck. She grabbed her bow and arrows and her new game bag which Peeta got her a few weeks ago.
Katniss left the house and started to run steadily out of the district. Peeta didn't like when she left to go hunt anymore. Since her belly was growing more and more each day, he would worry and didn't want Katniss exerting herself. Katniss, on the other hand, thought it was fine. But after Peeta begging her to be careful, she listened only slightly. She wouldn't run as hard, and that was about all she changed. She would still climb trees- because she couldn't resist. Which was hazardous, because she could fall out and cause a miscarriage.
Katniss would look in the mirror again, every day, observing the small bump which had now officially spread to her stomach. She knew that she would not be able to run or be as active as always once she reached a specific time. A few days after arriving in 12 last month, the nausea came back. Not as intense as it was the first month of being pregnant, but it was a surprise. It happened right in the middle of the woods. She had stopped running and sat down by a tree, feeling dizzy. She didn't tell Peeta, but he realized the pregnancy side-effects were back when Katniss threw up at the house 3 days later. She had been hiding the nausea from him.
Katniss entered the forest. She was used to hunting alone now. She didn't mind. Besides, she never wanted to see Gale ever again. Not after what he'd done. He'd caused harm to not only Katniss but to her loved ones as well. It was as if the war turned him into someone different.
A twig snapped and Katniss rapidly whipped an arrow out of its quiver, ready to shoot. A small, white rabbit hopped out of some shrubs that had begun to bear small little green leaves. The rabbit's ears and paws were starting to turn brown again. Katniss shot it quickly before the animal had a chance to take another hop.
Katniss felt her stomach churn but she knew it wasn't caused by the twins. It was her body adjusting, just like that night before she and Peeta left to the Capitol. At least, she was pretty sure it wasn't from the twins. Her mother explained to her what if felt like when she was carrying Katniss and Prim.
Katniss continued hunting in the new spring air. She managed to catch another rabbit- a bit smaller than the first- and a robin. She almost never caught robins, but she thought she'd give one a try.
Peeta liked rabbit more than the other things Katniss caught. So she made sure to catch at least one almost every day. But she needed to let them reproduce, otherwise they'd disappear and Katniss would need to head deeper into the forest, where Peeta never wanted her going. Lately, Peeta had been overprotective and would limit Katniss to eating specific things like sweets. Turns out Lily had been telling Peeta what he needed to know; that Katniss should take it easy on hunting and that she should eat healthier foods. He only made her cheese buns about once a week. Which made her angry sometimes because Peeta would tease her.
…
"Oh, my poor Katniss can't eat cheese buns." He'd smile. "Because her lover is a baker and won't make her any."
"Stop it." She'd hiss, and then scowl at him.
Peeta would chuckle and then approach her. "Aw, don't be mad. I'm just trying to take care of my babies. That includes you, not just the twins." He'd tickle her cheek with the end of her braid and then she'd smack his hand and give him a death stare.
"I've craving them for the past 2 weeks. Just make me some." She'd groan.
"…And I've been craving you for the past month."
"Well you're not getting any of…" Katniss pointed at herself- her chest, actually…On purpose, because she knew what he liked. "These… for another 6 months." She'd give him a strange smile, a sarcastic one.
Peeta puckered his lip and made a whining noise.
Katniss stuck out her tongue. Then she'd leave the room.
…
When Katniss arrived home, it was quiet. Which meant the boy was not awake. She grinned and put down her bow and arrows, and hung up her father's coat and the scarf. She went to the kitchen and placed her game bag on the table. Then she went up the steps to the bedroom she shared with Peeta.
When she entered the room, she found Peeta still lying in bed. Her grin widened and she sat down on the bed. She rubbed his arm, feeling the muscles underneath.
"Hey." She murmured.
Peeta moved his face slightly and let out a little whimper. Katniss got up and opened the curtains, quickly bringing moans and little noises from Peeta's lips.
Katniss stretched her arms over her head. "Rise and shine, bread boy." She slid onto the bed on her belly next to Peeta. She kissed him and nuzzled her nose with his. "Peeta." She said in a sing song voice. She ruffled his blonde waves and started to play with his hair. "C'mon, wake up. I've been gone for almost 2 hours now."
Peeta moaned. "Mm…what? You went hunting?" He said sleepily.
"Maybe."
Peeta turned onto his back and stretched, his eyes still closed. One of his arms reached out for Katniss and pulled her towards his body, making her shriek. He snickered when he heard her.
He embraced her and kept her pressed to his chest and Katniss placed her hands on his bare torso. It was still warm so she pressed her cheek against his heart. One of Peeta's hands slid down to her belly. He pulled the elastic out of her hair and kissed her forehead. Katniss looked up and saw his blue eyes. "Hey beautiful."
"Hey, you." She kissed him softly. Then she got up. "C'mon. I caught rabbits."
Kinda fluffy for the first chapter, no? Leave a review because I love hearing from you all.
