I opened Peeta's door and walked in. I promised him I'd have lunch with him once I got back from Mom's. Things have been great between us. He's been good with Jake, too. He's been watching him since I left for Mom's.

I made my way through his house and found him in the kitchen, making lunch. He was making pancakes, my favorite. I could eat them for any meal. Except now. My stomach lurched and I ran do to the bathroom. I kneeled at the toilet and puked. A moment later, Peeta's

gentle hands pulled my hair back and murmured soothing words into my ear.

"Go away." I groaned. I didn't want him to see me that, even with him not knowing the reason for it.

"No, I'm staying here with you." He said, finality in his voice.

I sighed and waited to see if I still need to stick by the toilet.

"Are you ok now?" He asked.

I nodded and he helped me up.

"What did your mom say?"

"That I'm fine. Nothing's wrong with me." I'm still not ready to tell him.

"Really?" He asked, skeptical.

"Yeah, but I have good news." I said, hoping to distract him.

"Good news?" He asked.

"Yep. I made up with my mom today." I smiled at him.

"That's great." He smiled back. "I think you'll be happier without past problems with her hanging over your head."

"Yeah." I said, lost in thought.

We walked out of the bathroom. When we started towards the kitchen, I tugged in his sleeve. He looked back questioningly.

"Can we eat later? I don't think I can handle it just yet."

"Sure." He looked sympathetic.

I took his hand and lead him to the living room. We laid on the couch, me in his arms, till I spoke.

"Peeta? Do you think we could have our own kid someday. Would you want one?" I asked, scared of his answered.

His body tensed before he spoke.

"Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering." I said, snuggling into his chest to hide my face.

"I think…. it's the last thing we need right now," My heart sank. "especially with the Capitol in charge. Maybe someday, if the Capitol is overthrown."

"Someday." I repeated.

"Yeah."

Jake started crying from upstairs just then. Peeta got up and kissed me on my forehead.

"Just relax. I'll go take care of Jake." He went upstairs. As soon as he did, I sat with my knees to my chest and cried.

He doesn't want our baby. He said it's the last thing we need right now. Its my fault. I always cause trouble for people. I guess that's all I am: trouble. Why can't I do something right for once and stop doing things like this to the people I care about.

"Katniss." He reentered the room and rushed to my side. "What's wrong?"

I put my arms on my knees and hid my face in them. I continued to cry. Peeta put his arms around me and rocked us back and forth. I eventually stopped hiding my face in my arms and hid it in his embrace.

"Katniss, what's wrong?" He asked again.

"Its not someday." I mumbled into his chest.

"What?" He asked.

I pulled away from his chest and looked him in the eyes, hoping he'd hear me this time.

"Someday's not today." I cried out.

It took him a moment to understand the "someday" talk, but when he did, his body went tensed and I hid in his arms again. After another moment , his body relaxed itself and went back to rocking us back and forth. When I finally looked up at him, he spoke.

"This is why you've been sick. You've only known about this since you left your mom's, right?"

"Mhmm." I nodded. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" He asked, puzzled.

"For this," I put my hand on my still-flat stomach. " and for any other trouble I have or will cause you. I can't seem to do anything right. I-" He kissed me to stop my talking. It was passionate and quick. Then he pulled away to talk.

"I told you already." He began. "Don't talk like that and definitely don't believe it. You don't cause trouble. We are both to blame for this."

He held me tighter. "Everything will be ok, I promise."

"How can you promise that? They're going to kill our baby." I told him about my revelation I had at Mom's house (A/N: From chp 6. Katniss was thinking about what the Capitol has planned for Jake and knew that things will be much worse for the baby).

Peeta's eyes darkened, but he didn't look surprised.

"I won't let them hurt the baby or Jake."

"You say that as if you have a choice, as if you could stop them. When the Capitol wants something done, it gets done. You can't prevent it." I argued. I looked away from his determined look before I continued.

"I don't want you to waste the little time we have with them obsessing over this. I want us to enjoy every moment we have with them together." I started to tear up.

Peeta turned my head by my chin to make me face him.

"It won't be like that." He said softly. " I won't waste any time with them. But I will save them. Just trust me."

I was silent.

"Can we stop talking about it now?"

He sighed.

"Ok." After a moment, he added "You look tired."

I yawned. "I'm always tired."

"Then why don't you take a nap?" He asked.

"I will if you come with me." I answered.

"Then lets go." He said, grabbing my hand and leading me to the stairs.

When we got upstairs, I instantly fell asleep in his arms to him stroking my hair. I felt better than I have in a while.

Peeta POV

I laid there, stroking Katniss's hair while she slept. Over a month ago, I would have loved this, but now, I just feel guilty. I practically just condemned our unborn child to a brutal death from unknowingly helping give it life. I also caused Katniss to worry more. I have caused trouble.

But I can't dwell on it now. I can't change the past. All I can do is save our baby, and Jake, from the Capitol. I don't know how but I will. I won't let them hurt my family.
