Katniss' POV
Peeta and I stand outside the bakery.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" I ask him. He hasn't said anything since we arrived.
"I don't think we have a choice."
I sigh as we step into the bakery.
"Hey dad. Can you grab Mom, Jace and Tobias?(Sorry guys! I just had to include a divergent and City of Bones reference at least once!)" Peeta asks as we head upstairs.
"Sure." His dad replies.
Peeta leads me up the stairs and we sit down in the living room.
"Are you okay?" he asks me and I nod in response but really I'm not. I start to think about when we told Peeta's mother we were getting married for real.
**Flashback**
We walked into the bakery and sat down with Peeta's parents and brothers.
"Well and ," I began, "I love Peeta with all my heart and I would never leave him. What you saw in the games was real, I wasn't acting."
I paused and took a shaky breath to prepare myself for what I was going to say next.
"I am here to ask your permission to take Peeta as my husband"
Peeta's Dad smiled and was about to say something when his wife cut him off.
"NO! I forbid my child to marry some Seam girl! She just wants it for the money! She doesn't love you!"
I stood up from my seat and yelled back at her.
"I love Peeta with all my heart! You must be blind if you think I am using him!"
"It's true mother. Katniss loves me and I love her." Peeta chimed in. He was standing now as well.
"YOU FOOLISH BOY!" she screamed at Peeta and then she slapped him.
That was it.
"Don't you dare touch Peeta ever again, you hear me! I love Peeta and if you ever lay a finger on him again I swear.."
"What will you do?! I'm not afraid of you."
That was it I had had enough. I walked up to her a punched in the jaw, then grabbed Peeta's hand and started to walk out the door.
"Katniss," I heard say.
I turned around to face him.
"Congratulations. I would be honored to be your father-in-law."
"Thank you ." I replied kindly.
Then I grabbed Peeta's hand and lead him out the door.
**Flashback Over**
I am brought back to reality when Peeta's family walks in.
Peeta's mom just stares at me as she takes her seat.
"Mom, Dad, Jace, Tobias," Peeta begins, "Katniss and I have something we need to tell you."
I give him a nod of encouragement and give his hand a squeeze.
"Katniss is pregnant." he whispers.
"What was that?!" his mother replies rather rudely.
"He said I'm pregnant!" I say fairly loud.
"WHAT?! PEETA! HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME, YOUR FAMILY!" she gets up to slap him but I step in front and take the hit. This sends Peeta over the edge.
Peeta gets up and starts to yell at his mom "Betray you?! Katniss is my wife and soon to be the mother of my child. She has always been there for me. She is more family to me than you have been!" Peeta's mother looks shocked.
I cradle my sore face but smile. Peeta has just stood up to his mother. After years of abuse, he has finally stood up to her.
Peeta comes over to me and examines my face.
"Peeta, I'm fine, really. Come on, we should be going."
"Okay, but if i starts to swell I am taking you to the doctor."
We are almost at the door when I hear the smash and feel the shards of glass sink into my back.
Cliffhanger! I know, I'm sorry! I will update soon, promise! Leave thoughts and ideas in the lovely review that you are going to post…. you will post one right?
