It took five minuets of shouting for them to realise I was gone and by that time I was crying my eyes out. I allowed Peeta into the room as soon as he banged on the door, but Haymitch accompanied him so I slammed the door in his face.
Peeta took him home after that and I waited for him to come home. He came back half an hour later with a loaf of fresh loaf of district five bread and some cheese. He cut our little feast up and we dinned silently. Until I finally blurted out "What are we going to do?"
"Katniss I don't know but there is something I do, we have each other and at this moment that's all that matters." He kissed my forehead then started to shake uncontrollably. I jumped up which made me feel dizzy from lying down for so long. Peeta was having a tracker jacker fit. A false memory the Capitol had implanted in his mind was coming back to haunt him. It hadn't happened in over a year but I guess the stress from all this baby stuff had brought it on. I caressed his hair and said soothingly "Peeta, it's me Katniss. It's not real Peeta, come back! I'm here! Please Peeta Please!"
He snapped back almost immediately but was still shaking violently. "I'm so sorry Katniss, I didn't mean to. It's just-"
"Don't worry it's not your fault it's his and you know it."
We both fell silent after that, I drifted into sleep then the dreams begun. I was back in my first Hunger Games then they came. First came Rue then Foxface, Glimmer, Cato and Thresh followed by every other tribute from the 74th Hunger Games. Then came Mags, the morphlings and finally all the 75th Hunger Games tributes. Finnick arrived next looking as stunning as ever, followed by Boggs and the rest of squad 451. The man from district eleven came next followed by Coin and Snow and just when a thought it was over I saw her, Prim.
I woke screaming, everyone I had dreaded to see in my nightmares all there at once. Peeta tried so hard to calm me down but even he couldn't comfort me now. It took over an hour to stop the tears falling from my eyes.
After I had fully recovered I came downstairs to the sweet smell of Peeta making me pancakes and I ate them all because I was so hungry. "Are you still hungry? I can make you some more if you'd like." Peeta was always to kind.
"Only if we have enough left to make them." He laughed at me like he always did when I questioned him over food shortage. "Old habits!" I mumbled. We both chuckled while Peeta got cracking on more pancakes. Once I had dug into my second helping of pancakes Peeta asked sheepishly "Have you given any thought to were the baby might sleep?"
"Well, she'll sleep in our room." I probably sounded snippy but Peeta didn't care.
"She?" He had an edge of surprise in his voice.
"I think it's a baby girl. I just feel it."
"Well would you and our daughter like to go for a walk to the bakery?" He smiled sarcastically.
"Sure, just let me, I mean us get ready." He laughed as I ran up the stairs.
After I had a warm shower and got dressed I realised I had a little bump. Not huge but noticeable to anyone who was looking for it. When we got to the town square I saw Haymitch and Pollux. Pollux was carrying his camera; somehow I knew this would happen but just not as soon.
"Hey there sweetheart! Phoned the folks at the Capitol this morning, thought they might like to do a feature on the star crossed lovers upcoming baby!" Haymitch shouted.
And then right there in the middle of the square with people milling in and out of shops, I punched him.
