Katniss has been throwing up almost every morning for a week so she is taking a pregnancy test right now. I am waiting with her to find out the results,
"Peeta, whatever this says, I still love you." she says and then unveils the test. Positive, we dance around and then say we will tell Effie and Haymitch tomorrow. They told us everytime that Effie was pregnant as soon as they knew so we will do that too. We schedule a doctors appointment for next week and then go to bed.
When I wake up I give Katniss a kiss and go to the bakery, I still have to go in early but once the baby is born I will have someone else do the prep work. I go to the bakery for another uneventful day. Excited for tonight when we tell Effie and Haymitch.
I finish up at the bakery and head home with a skip in my step. When I get home I shower to get the flour off of me, then Katniss and I have dinner together.
"Peeta, we should call your parents and tell them." my parents moved to District 11 when the new president allowed people to move. I see them only when one of our tributes win and we go on the victory tour, the last time a District 12 victor won was the 80th hunger games. Mrs. Everdeen and Prim still live here in district 12 and we have dinner with them once a week so we tell them then.
"Hello, Peeta, anybody home?" Katniss asks and I realize I have spaced out.
"Sorry Kat, yeah we should call my parents." I say snapping back to reality. I don't like talking to my mom because of all the bad memories she holds but I still like talking to my dad and brothers. My older brother Nick is married and has kids so I know he will be happy to have a niece or nephew, my other brother Naan is married but doesn't have any kids yet. Speaking of siblings, in a few weeks Prim will be getting married to Rory, Gale's brother. Katniss is super happy for them but is still uncomfortable around Gale, especially after he got married to Delly and they have kids now.
"Hey Kat, when do you want to tell the Hawethorns?" I ask trying my best not to make her uncomfortable. She thinks for a minute and then says,
"Before Prim gets married, maybe we can invite them for dinner on Thursday?" she says tentatively, I think it is a great idea, after all they will be family soon. I tell her that would be great and then we clear the dishes. After we finish the dishes she goes to bed but I stay up and paint a picture of what I think our baby will look like. I think the baby will be a girl with curly brown hair like Kat but piercing blue eyes like me. The next thing I know its almost midnight so I put my brush down and change into pj pants. I walk into our room and see Katniss sleeping, she looks about 15 years younger when she is sleeping. I try to get into bed without waking her up, of course my clumsyness gets in the way and I wake her up.
"Peeta, stay" Katniss whispers,
"Okay Kat, always" I whisper back and she scoots closer to me until we are pressed together. We fall asleep with our limbs tangled together.
