"Katniss… are you okay?" Peeta asked

Katniss was in a daze she couldn't shake her mother's words ever since they left the house

"Oh yeah fine, just a little nervous, you?"

Peeta stared at her for a moment before he looked back at the road ahead, he cleared his throat before replying to Katniss.

"umm I'm little nervous I'm not going to lie" he giggled and before saying "I mean my dad might take it better than my mother be we will cross that bridge when we get there"

Katniss nodded her head before looking back out the window. She was suddenly flashed with the image of when her and Peeta where both 16 It was a frosty day and Katniss was standing at her usual spot under the willow tree that sat firmly in the school's playground, she would sit under the tree doing homework until her little sister Prim was finished with the school council meetings she'd attend. It wasn't until a gust of wind caused some of Katniss's notes to blow away from her that she got up and ran after them, she suddenly slipped and fell, twisting her ankle in the process. She was barely able to get up from the ground until he felt strong hands wrap under her arms and helped lift her from the ground. When she slowly turned around, she was met with them dashing blue eyes and golden blonde hair and she suddenly knew who her knight and shining armour was,

"Are you Okay?" Peeta asked with a concerned look on his dashingly handsome face.

Katniss was taken by surprised never in her life did she think that she could bump into Peeta Mellark twice after falling. She noticed he was waiting on her to answer she so simply nodded her head until she tried to walk on her ankle and that's when she let out a painful scream.

"Here you should really lay off that ankle, you could make it worse and we wouldn't want the captain of the running team doing that now would we" Peeta said in a light-hearted tone.

"Here lean on me I'll walk you home" he said

"you really don't have to do that and besides I need to wait on Prim" she said

"Okay so we will wait on Prim and then we can both walk you home" Peeta replied before he took her back over to the tree and handed her back her study notes.

They both sat in silence, Katniss didn't know how to start a conversation with him, but the silence was comfortable, it wasn't until Katniss seen the swift of blonde hair coming down the steps.

"Katniss, Katniss guess what" the little squealed as she ran down the steps and wrapped her arms around her sister before she began telling Katniss all about the latest adventures of what her and her friends got up to in school. It wasn't until Prim stopped to draw breath that looked up and noticed Peeta, "Katniss who is this?" she said

"My names Peeta" he replied with a charming smile "and your stubborn sister fell and hurt her ankle and refuses to let me help her, what do you say Prim, how about we get her home before she can argue with me further"

Prim giggled before she replied "Okay, come one Katniss let him help, I need to get home to buttercup and you walking slow won't help" she winked at Peeta before taking her sisters other hand and walking towards their house.

Once they got to her house, she let go of his hand and walk in through the door "Thanks, for umm helping me, but I think I've got it from here" she said before closing the door in his face.

The next day Peeta came into school with a bruise on his face and a broken finger and she couldn't help but wonder if his mother did that for helping her home.

The sound of a car door closing broke her from her thought and she was suddenly aware of being outside Peeta Mellark's childhood home.

The lump in her throat tightened, how would his witch of a mother take the news of their sudden pregnancy. She didn't have time to think when the door opened and out came Peeta's father who greeted his son in a tight embrace and pat on the back. "Good to see you Peet, I hear the bakery has really taken off, good for you boy" his father said before turning around and seeing Katniss.

"Katniss, good to see you, how are you?" Peeta's father said

Peeta took Katniss by the hand before telling his dad that they'd catch up inside. As they walked up the steps into the house that was his childhood home, Katniss felt Peeta's body tense and she gave his hand a reassuring squeeze before the walked into the Kitchen were his dad made them tea and past out some cheese buns. The smell of the cheese buns made Katniss's stomach rumble and she took one, then two, then three and wasn't until she heard the two men chuckle at her that she realised what she was doing.

"sorry" she said before she began to blush

"don't be" Peeta whispered in her ear "I find it cute" before he went back to talking to his dad about the bakery.

"so what brings you too here today?" his dad said "I mean I wasn't expecting you Peet, never mind coming with such a beautiful girl, who has quiet the appetite for cheese buns" he giggled

"Actually dad, we have something to tell you but, I was hoping I could do it when mum was here too, but I suppose you breaking the news to her might be better" he said with a slight pause.

His father cocked his eyebrow up at Peeta before waiting until Peeta continued.

"Katniss and I well we're"

"I knew it" his fathered shouted and clapped his hands together, before patting Peeta on the back "you finially got her to be your girlfriend" he added before getting up and making them more tea.

"no dad, well emm, actually she's umm pregnant, with my baby dad" Peeta added before stairing down at the table cloth

His father stood frozen at the sink before turning around and meeting his son and Katniss's eyes. "well congratulation's you two, how did this happen, I mean I know it happened he laughed, I mean how far along are you?"

"I've just turned four months" Katniss replied before placing a comforting hand on her slight swell.

"well no wonder you devoured them cheese buns" The older Mellark man said "when Peeta's mother was pregnant she couldn't get enough of them either" he laughed before going onto say "All Mellark babies must be the same"

"so, you're not mad or disappointed then dad" Peeta asked

"babies a blessing, maybe the timing could have been better and you two could have at least dated first, but I'm not mad" he replied before embracing the two in a warm hug.

"well that went well" Peeta said as they were driving to Sae's diner

"Yeah, your dad took it better than I expected, how will you mum take it though. I mean when your father tells her?"

She notices Peeta's hands wrap tighter around the stirring wheel, to the point that they were starting to turn white.

"Let's not think about her right now, let's celebrate with one of Sae's burgers" he said as he turned up the radio and continue their drive to the Diner.
