******************************************************************************Hey Everybody, I am doing a quick 1,000 word update…things have been super busy with musical practice and all…It's been a while since I updated so I wanted to let you guys know I'm still alive and still writing…I'll try to put the second half up soon followed by the last chapter! Thanks for the support I Love you guys!

"No…Katniss, I sorta…maybe...Gave Peeta the idea for a break. With your possible pregnancy…I couldn't stand the idea of your emotions being hurt at that fragile state of pregnancy." I stop my tears and look up at her and just wait for her to crack a small smile towards me. She stares down at her feet and avoids eye contact with me. "Katniss…I'm so sorry that I ever suggested that to Peeta, it wasn't my place. I'm so sorry. I thought I was helping you in the long run…I was wrong."

I stand up and run over to Annie and shake her shoulders, "You're really not kidding…are you?!" I see her eyes tear up and a few slide down her cheeks. "I thought you were my friend. Why are you just now telling me this? Did you not see how upset me and Baylyn were? But yet you still went along with it all?" She nods quickly and the tears fall down to the floor. "So Peeta does…want me?" "Of course he does Katniss. He never didn't want you." I can't stop the tears of happiness falling from my eyes, and a grin spreads across my face. I drop Annie's shoulders and run to the spare room I had been staying in and pile me and Baylyn's clothes into the bag and I run back to my house and throw the bag down. My ankles are sore from this much movement this late into the "pregnancy" and I scream out "Peeta! I'm so sorry! Please come here. I want to talk to you!" I walk to the kitchen table and there is something crumpled up. I unfold it and read the light print.

My dearest Katniss,

I'm so sorry for hurting you. I want you to know that hurting you is the last thing I ever wanted to do…I truly love you and Baylyn with all my heart, and if it means leaving you and letting you start your life over…I will accept that. I do not hate you, I never will…I love you with all my heart...Always.

-Peeta

I let out a foolish looking smile and crane my neck around to the blonde opening the door. "He's not here sweetheart." "What do you mean he's not here?" I grab Haymitch's shoulders as hard as I can and he winces a little in pain. "District thirteen sweetheart." "You mean…he just left?" "He left after your discussion yesterday. He said he wanted to think everything over, that it'd be easier for you if he wasn't everywhere you turned. He's still trying to protect you." My mind only flickers for a moment and I'm running over to Haymitch's house and there sits a very pink Effie painting her toenails on the couch.

"Hello Katniss." "Effie…I have to go chase down my husband. "Oh thank goodness! It's about time! Excuse my manners, but that was getting quite ridiculous." "Can I borrow your car? Mine is out of gas." "Oh dear! You can't drive all the way to thirteen in your condition." She glares down at my stomach and that is the first time I realized that my stomach does look quite larger. Maybe he is still in there. I smile a little at what I hope is my still living son. "Well, how am I supposed to get to Peeta if you won't let me drive?" "I have a much much better idea!" Effie stands on her heels so her toes aren't ruined and grabs my hand and pulls me towards their back door.

She holds my hands and presents to me… a three car capital train. She smiles proudly and pushes me towards the door. "Effie! I don't know how to drive this thing!" "Yes…but somebody on the train does…" She kisses my cheek and waves goodbye. Who in Panem does Effie have living in her person train? I reluctantly open the door and before I can realize what's happening I am in an embrace. I see her detailed traits.

"Octavia!" "Katniss dear!" She hugs me tighter and this time I hug her back. I can't stop the slow and happy tear falling onto her neck from me. I had never really known what happened to my wonderful prep crew, they were never the brightest and it's quite apparent Octavia still wishes to treat me like royalty. I shrug it off and sit in the front with her. "Where are we going?" "We're going to thirteen…I have to go find Peeta." Her eyes widen and her unnatural colored eyelashes shine, and she starts the train so fast that it completely takes my stomach. "We should be there in only about half an hour…Effie won't let me drive this train any faster…this thing is like her child." I laugh a little and decide to just reflect on a couple things.

He's always trying to protect you…rather physically or mentally. Is that the only reason he'd go to district thirteen…what does he even have in thirteen? Other than hijacked, tainted, memories. I can't help but worry about what he's looking for in thirteen. You'd think he'd at least go to a place he likes…like district four. Will he be happy that I think I'm still pregnant? Or will it trigger too many attacks for him… "Go get your man!" I am shocked by Octavia's comment I just laugh gently and run out of the train and look around. Where do I even begin to look through this entire district? I run into the first person I see and look around panicked. "Have you seen Peeta Mellark?" "No….wait? Peeta Mellark is here in thirteen? Wait a second…MOCKINGJAY!" I stare at this person and I run around until I find an alley and I just hide there.

What have you done? Now you're going to have the paparazzi trying to track you both down…And here you sit pregnant. I smell something familiar and I find the back entrance to a bakery of some sort. Peeta! I run through the door and see only one seam haired employee. I walk back out of the shop and look around and make a dash for the street. I run around and every single store in thirteen's city…I feel like it's useless…If I haven't found him yet, what are the chances that I will him now? I stare up at the sun and just absorb the warmth…something catches my eye…there is a person on the city building…I stare up at it...I am only able to see a blonde head of hair…and I run towards the tower.

That can't be him…he would never… I run as fast as I can to the entrance on the off chance that my fears are real…that Peeta is about to jump to his death…
