"I would think that too, Caesar," Peeta said bitterly, "if it weren't for the baby."
That jerk! He had to go and tell the world that he loved me, and now he has to lie and say that he knocked me up? The nerve! People in the crowd gasped as they put two-and-two together. Caesar couldn't gain control of the crowd, not even when the buzzer went off and Peeta came and sat next to me. Afterwards, he looked apologetic.
"Is there anything I need to apologize for?' he asked.
"No," I said nodding curtly. He flinched as if my coldness had hurt him.
"Listen," he said grabbing my arm, "I am sorry, even if you don't want to accept my apology. I should've given you a fair warning."
"No it's okay, really." I said giving him one of my rare smiles.
"okay." He said walking off.
"I love you." I whispered the words I had been dying to say for a while now.
"what was that?" he asked smiling.
" I said 'I love you.'" I whispered a little louder.
"I love you too Katniss." He whispered walking towards me. I leaned up and met my lips with his. This was different than our usually kisses. This kiss was passionate and needy. I pulled my body closer to his so I could taste more of him.
"Kat, Kat, if you want to do that, we should go somewhere private." He said between kisses. I pulled away blushing.
"Peeta, the reason I wasn't mad at you for saying I was pregnant-"
"I was just lying ya know. You don't have to defend me." He said cutting me off.
"Peeta, I am."
"You're what?"
"I'm pregnant."
