Chapter Two
Diary Entry for Katniss Everdeen.
Month 5
Today was my five month doctors appointment. This would've been the one where we learn the gender, but, like with Rue, we wanted to be surprised. We have picked a boy and girl name. For a girl we picked Marble, for a marble cake. The boy we decided will be named Rye, after bread, like Peeta. Middle names were harder. We finally decided Marble Rose and Rye Evan. Who knows what tomorrow will bring in this journey.

Yes, we had another doctors appointment today. Plus it was name picking. Peeta did see the gender, he just didn't tell me. Peeta was never one for surprises, I still can't believe he wanted to be surprised when we had Rue.
"Mommy," Rue called, "am I having a brother or sister?"
" Sweetie, only your dad saw. I thought we should be surprised." I explain to her.
"Oh, I thought you would need to know," she said crestfallen.
I pick her up and tell her that if we wait to be surprised then it will be more special. Rue said she understood, but I had my doubts.
