Previously on Little MockingJay:
"Here wash your face with this while I warm up the tub and could take a bath to help soothe your muscles."
"Okay." I say walking to the sink towel in hand and cleaned my face of the tear stains on my cheeks.
"There you go, a nice warm bath is awaiting for you."
"Thanks Mom." I say.
"No Problem honey, just holler when you need me." She said walking out a softly shutting the door behind her.
I got undressed and got in the tub with a sigh of satisfaction.
Ten minutes later I'm taking my pills and laying in bed with my mom tucking me in and telling me about what to expect while pregnant and what to keep away from.
After a while I become sleepy and eventually fall asleep, and go into a dreamless sleep.
o~O~o
"Late at night when all the world is sleeping 'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too
'Til tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room, dreaming about you and me
…
I just wanna hold you close
But so far all I have are dreams of you
So I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you, yes, I do…"
Dreaming of You by Selena
In case you are wondering who this singer is she is a famous Spanish singer who was born on
April 16, 1971 and passed March 31, 1995, I love her very much though she passed before I was even born yet, she still lives on.
Katniss
As I woke up I looked around the room to see my mother sitting on the couch and going through a medical book in her hand.
"Morning Sun Shine." She said looking up from her book then setting it down and came over to me. "Had a nice nap?"
"Yeah, the best sleep I've gotten in a while." I said as I sat up and stretched, but all too soon the nausea hits me and I'm running to the bathroom and throwing up into the toilet.
I hear my mom come in after me and hold my hair back as I throw up what I had this morning.
As I lean away from the toilet I settle back against the wall beside the toilet. She walks out and comes back out with a bottle of water and a pill.
"Here, brush your teeth an then take this pill, it's to help your stomach." I just nod and go to brush my teeth then proceed to take the pill.
"Only 8 more months of that." I say with fake enthusiasm as I walk out of the bathroom and sit on the couch.
"Oh cheer up, you'll only have it for the first 4 months then it will be gone, at least that's the Everdeen way, I don't know about the Mellark."
"Oh goodie." I say as I relax into the couch.
"Well, I advise you get ready soon, suppers in 15 minutes." My ears perked at the thought of food, she just gave a quiet chuckle as she seen me get ready as fast as I could.
"Eager aren't we?" She said as I sat on the bed putting on my shoes.
"I'm eating for two here if you haven't noticed." I said smiling.
At that moment Prim came in with a look of pure shock and a tint of joy. "What? Did I hear right? Did you just say you're eating for two?"
"Oh gosh, I didn't want you to find out like this, I wanted to tell you myself" I said as I looked at her.
"Are you…?" She trailed off pointing at my stomach.
"Yep." I said lightly patting my stomach where in about 6 months my stomach would be the size of watermelon.
"Are you serious? You're not joking right? I'm gonna be an Aunty?" She said as she came running towards me and jumped on the bed next to me and hugged me.
"Yeah, I'm not lying, why would I lie about that?" I said as we separated from the hug.
"I'm so excited! Oh, what are you gonna name is? Peeta's the dad right? I can't wait till its born!" She all but squealed.
"Calm down my little duck, I honestly don't know I'm only a month into my pregnancy, and yes, of coarse Peeta's the father." I say as I put on my other shoe and gut up to brush my hair.
"Oh, I can't I'm too excited!" She said as she got up and started talking baby talk as I brushed the knots out of my hair.
"Don't get to ahead of your self little duck, let's go eat." I said as we started walking out the door to the cafeteria.
"So was that the reason you were throwing up for the last week or so?"
"Yep." I say popping the 'p'.
"That's awful, is there anything you can take so that you don't always have morning sickness?"
"Yeah, my doctor gave me some pills and vitamins to take to help."
"To help what?" I turn around to see Gale standing behind us
"Oh just to help build my strength back up in my arms just to make sure the tissue heals fine." I say lying as smoothly as I could.
"Yeah, the pills are like horse pills! I don't see why they're so big?" Said Prim lying along with me.
"Right? I guess they still haven't found a way to make those pills smaller." I say as we all walk into the cafeteria then get in line. "Mmm, smells delish!"
"Yeah, they have been getting better shipments of food now that more districts have been joining the rebellion." Says Gale as he grabs what he could to fit into his portion sized serving, which was pretty big due to his physic and height and all the training he does so he needs all the ATP he can get, and if you don't know what that means it means Adenosine Triphosphate, or energy, and yes I do pay attention in some of those boring lectures I still have to go to every once in a while for the sake of not being bored all day and just sitting in my room on the bed.
"I noticed, guess district 10 and most of 4 decided they wanted in on this joyous ride!" I say with fake enthusiasm.
"At least have some enthusiasm." Says Prim, "If we win we will be free finally! No Games, No Fear of Being reaped, live freely, have a family and know you'll be safe." She said as she looked me in the eyes the eyes quickly flashed down to my stomach and back to my eyes.
"Yeah, I guess, I don't know about that last part thought." I say as I glance at Prim as Gales eyes look at me intently, as if he is trying to figure something out, his face relaxed as if giving up.
"So if this war ends, would you be willing to make a new family?" Gale asks as we all sit down at a table.
"I honestly don't know, even is the war ends, I will still have to not only protect me but all those I love, and if I get married then kids will be in the picture and I will always have that fear in the back of my head that something bad will happen." I say as I eat and look down.
After I said that we dropped the subject and ate, my mom came and sat down with us a moment later, then Finnick, and Madge. We all eat in silence and eventually all retire for sleep, with just the murmurs of goodnights and goodbyes.
"What do you think Gale would think if he found out?" I say to Prim and my mom and we walk down the hallway.
"Honestly, I don't know Katniss, Gale loves you, more than just a brotherly sister love like how you see it, so he may not be al that happy." My mom says as she opens the door and I go straight to my room and change into my pajamas and climb into bed.
My mom walks into my room as I curl up into my blankets pretending to sleep knowing she wants to talk about our earlier subject but I honestly don't even want to think about it.
"Good night Sweetheart, sweet dreams." She says as she tucks the blankets around me kisses me on my head and walks out turning the light off. "I Love You." And with that she shuts the door softly behind her.
'She hasn't said she loved me in god knows how long.' I think as tears sting my eyes. 'I miss having her like this, her helping me and taking care of me instead of the other way around.'
As I finished that final though and cried myself to sleep that night at the thought of my mother finally playing her role, and went into a dreamless sleep.
…
"WAKEY WAKEY KATNISS!" Said an all too joyful voice.
"Five more minutes." I say rolling over and putting the pillow over my head
"Oh no you don't." Says the person pulling the sheets off me, which didn't do much since I just curled into a ball. "Don't make me go get a bucket of water and dump it onto you.
I just ignored their empty threat. I heard a sigh of defeat then foot steps walking out, 'VICTORY!' my mind screamed.
Then I heard foot steps again and I stayed curled up, but jumped out off my bed as ice cold water was thrown onto me.
"AHH! SON OF A-" I cut off mind sentence when I seen Haymitch standing there laughing, I just glare at him then push him onto the floor and went in search of a towel.
"Oh Darling, don't take it so harsh. I warned you." He said while he got up off the floor.
"Shut up." I say as I walk to the bathroom for a towel.
"Oh my, what happened?" My mom asked as I rush to the bathroom, I just point at Haymitch who is still laughing.
"Haymitch, who gave you permission to wake her up like that?" she says as I to get a towel in the cupboard.
I smile at my mothers new antics of protecting me.
"Better hurry up and get dressed sweetheart, after we eat breakfast were going to command to talk rebellion talk." He said smiling smugly at me.
"Haymitch, I- I have to tell you something." I say looking at him as I thrown the towel into a hamper.
"Hold on let me guess, your pregnant?" He says laughing, then notices my face to what he has just said. "You, your not pregnant right?" He says growing more serious.
"Haymitch, I am pregnant." I say emphasizing 'am'.
His eyes looked like they were gonna pop out of his head. "He- Peeta, Peeta is the father right?"
"Yes, for god sakes who else would be the father?" I said a little mad that he would imply that I am pregnant with somebody else
"Um, your 'cousin'?" He says backing up, guess I look like I'm about to explode.
"Really? GALE! OF ALL PEOPLE! I only see him as a, a big brother maybe but as a LOVER?" I say raising my voice.
"Whoa, calm down there sweet heart, all that screaming might not be good fro that baby of yours." He says.
'Oh goody, now he has something to hold against me.' I think as I stomp out of the bathroom and go into my room to change.
"Has she always been this moody?" Asks Haymitch, I don't hear a reply, but hear him say; "Ouch, what was that for?"
I just laughed and shook my head closing the door behind me.
"What to wear?" I said to myself. Dues to my small size the few pounds I have gained were showing, but not by much, only if you really, really look. "Looks like same clothes but a bigger jacket."
I come out of my room, my hair in my signature braid, wearing the district 13 clothes with a jacket.
Mental To-Do List….
See about saving Peeta from the Capitol to bring him back home, to hopefully meet his first child.
Ask Plutarch or Coin if I can get normal clothes, or to change this ridicules uniform for everybody's sake.
As I finish that thought, Prim walks out of her room smiling already dressed and ready to go.
"Let's go eat." I declare walking out with Prim at my side and Haymitch and my mom behind.
"Do you know what they're gonna have for breakfast little duck?" I ask as we walk down the hallway to the elevator.
"Um, I think they said something called a burrito that has beans and cheese or yogurt which you can add nuts and stuff to." She said crinkling her nose.
"Sounds good to me." I say as we all stepped into the elevator which took us immediately took us to the floor which had the cafeteria.
"I smell the food, I think the burritos. They smell good." I say sniffing the air which causes Prim to giggle and a small chuckle from Haymitch behind me.
"What's so funny?" Said a voice from behind me.
"Hi Gale!" Says Prim happily. "Nothing were just laughing because Katniss is hungry and isn't afraid to show it.
"Hey, watch it there little duck." I said giving her a playful glare then winking at her. "Let's stop talking and start getting our food to eat." I say rushing off to the line with them following behind me.
"Burrito or yogurt dear?" Asked an older woman in her mid 40's from behind the counter.
"Hmm, burrito." I say smiling at her as handed me the burrito on a plate. "Thanks." I say walking to get a banana and a bottle of water.
"You can get another fruit dear." Said the same woman that gave me the burrito, I smiled to her as I got an apple.
"How come you get to have another fruit?" Asks Prim.
"'Cause I'm special." I say taking a bite of the apple and winking at her.
"Hm, I think its favoritism." Says Finnick as he appears out of nowhere and sits to my left.
"Call it what you want." I say as I take a bite of the delicious burrito. "Mmm," I say savoring the cheesy burrito.
"So Katniss, anything new happen lately." Asks Gale as he takes a bite of his burrito.
"Um, nothing that I'm aware of." I say confused.
"We should hurry up and get going." Says Haymitch inhaling the last of his burrito.
"Are a vacuum or what, because you inhaled that burrito." I say stuffing the last of mines in my mouth and watering it down with some water.
"Well look whose talking." He says eye balling me.
"Hey, I got my reasons, you got yours." I say taking my final bite my apple and giving my banana to Prim.
"Thanks!" Says Prim Happily.
"No Problem Little Duck."
"Lets go, Coin says she has something to show us." Whispers Haymitch.
"'Kay, Bye everyone, see you at brunch or lunch." I say smiling.
"See you later Katnip." Gale says walking away.
"So what does Coin want?" I ask.
He hesitates for a moment. "She has news on Peeta."
A/N: Well I hope you liked it.
