Peeta p.o.v
I walk back into the waiting room; the wind from an open window ruffles my shoulder length sandy blond hair. I really should cut it before the baby's born. My mind gets side tracked as I think about the child growing in Katniss's stomach, our child. I smile unconsciously and turn the corner to see the very image I was thinking about, Katniss was holding a small baby in her arms both her and the baby were fast asleep. I'm startled where did she get this child from, as I take a closer look treading carefully over I see that the child is from the seam for sure with the olive skin and dark hair. I wonder again where in this world she got a baby from, lines form on my forehead as I frown. My question is answered mere moments before I was about to wake her up, a heavily pregnant woman that couldn't be more than a few years older than Katniss and myself wobbles out of the bathroom and plops down on the seat next to Katniss. The young woman had very dark brown hair and a thick broad bone structure that I now recognize in the baby in question. She looks over at me and pats the spot next to her; I hesitate for a second then walk over to her sitting down gently then turning to the woman. I turn my body to face the lady my face is sure to be full of questions as my mind is spinning at the moment, why is Katniss holding a child? First of all, who is this? How in the world did this lady get Katniss to fall asleep? Katniss can never sleep. Why in the world is she holding a baby, she doesn't like children and will not easily be around them, though I think deep inside her she loves and wants to protect the child in her stomach. I'm brought out of my thoughts by a throat sound; I look around for the source and my eyes land on the woman who has caused all my confusion. My eyes focus and she has turned her body as much as she can being pregnant, I wonder how long I've been gone. She brushes a piece of stray hair behind her ear and then holds out her hand "I'm sorry this is probably very confusing but let's starts with introductions" I nod "I'm Everda and my daughter Shiloh ,Everda points to the child Katniss is holding, is almost one" . I take her out stretched hand "Peeta" Everda smiles "I know" we shake hands then I put mine in my lap. She turns to look at Katniss and I do the same. I can't help but smile again as I look at Katniss and Shiloh that will be us in just one month, Katniss looks so relaxed more relaxed than I had seen her in a long while. Shiloh moves in Katniss's arms and starts to whimper, her whimpers grow into cry's as she wakes up Everda starts to lean over to take Shiloh into her arms when Katniss starts to hum. I watch in amazement as Katniss hums a sweet melody that seems familiar to me, maybe she has hummed this before. I'm still amazed when Shiloh cuddles up closer to Katniss and rests her head in her neck. Katniss has always said she disliked children that she would never want any of her own; this is why she is upset about our child, though how she took care of prim I would beg to differ though I never brought this up it was too soon for her to think of prim. "Well I guess Katniss took care of her" Everda had been looking at me for a while it seemed; again I wonder how long I had been gone. "I guess so" I answered, Everda nods "so where ya going" since Katniss trusted her I guess its ok to tell her. I considerably lower my voice "we are going to get Finnick Odair Jr." Everda eyes whidden she obviously recognized the name "why did something happen". I hesitate I trust Everda but she is still a stranger and this is information we don't want the press to know about, "no he's fine we are kinda like his aunt and uncle though so we had to get him for his mom, Annie". Everda nods "oh I get it". "so… why are you getting on a train" she smiles "I'm going to go to district four that's where my husband is and he wants to be there for his child to be born" I nod and she pats her stomach "so here I am nine months pregnant and getting on a train" she takes a deep breath "I wish he would just come down here, but her said he can't leave work and doesn't want to miss his child's birth". "He did miss his daughters though" Everda mumbled this so quietly I don't think she thought I heard it. "well I'm sure he just wants to be a good father and provide for his family" I put my input in Everda looks over at me from her position leaning back in the chair, her eyes are shinny like she's on the verge of tears. "Thanks Peeta that means a lot to me" her voice cracks "I know we just met, but you're a really good friend probably one of the best". I suddenly feel warm inside I love helping people feel better I pat her on the back "anytime". I smile as the old man comes around the corner with a cane stumbling a little bit "you all's train is here" he then retreats back around the corner before we can respond. Everda stands up and some of her joints crack "well I guess it's time to go" I stand up as well and walk over to Katniss I talk in a low voice as to not startle her and she comes around pretty quickly. "Peeta" she whispers, I nod and take Shiloh out of her grasp she complies and I hand Shiloh Everda then help Katniss out of her chair. Once she is up I grab the very small bag I packed with a change of clothes and a few essentials then grab the bright purple duffle Everda was having a hard time reaching, "thanks Peeta" Everda starts walking toward the door to our left that leads to the plat form. I swing the duffle on my shoulder and hand Katniss her ticket "thanks" she said with a yawn. I grin and nod to the old man as I see him watching us leave from the hallway; he quickly nods back and goes back down the hallway. I give my ticket to the man on the train then follow the girls until they find a seat, I sit beside Katniss who promptly puts her head on my shoulder. I lean my head back and think of Finnick and hoping he is alright, as I ignore the stares that I know are directed mine and Katniss's way.
