Katniss's Prov:
I woke up, in the morning. "Peeta?" I said, into the empty room. I got out of bed, and pulled on one of Peeta's hoodies before going downstairs. "Peeta?" I called again, getting silence. Peeta was always home, when I woke up. This was unusual. I went to the kitchen, finding a note.
Katniss, my love.
I forgot to tell you, I have to go to the bakery early today... Sorry. Effie, and Delly wanna come over today. Cinna also said he was gonna stop by later. Gale's gonna get the meat for us today so you could rest. I'll call you soon.
All my love,
Peeta.
I was excited, and ran upstairs and got dressed quickly, just as the phone rang. "Mellark Residence. Hey Honey. No, don't apologize. It's Okay... Yeah I'm fine. Rue and Baby Cinna are kicking up a storm... Did Effie and Delly say what time they'd be over? OKay, sounds good... I'll think of something for dinner, and try cooking it. Not making any promises though. Okay, love you too." I hung up and went down to the kitchen making something to eat.
I wasn't much of a cook, everyone knew that. I quickly ate, and got ready for Effie and Delly to come. A knock on the door announced the arrival of either Effie or Delly. I went to the door, and opened it to reveal, both Effie and Delly. "Hey girls! Come in! How are you?"
"We're alright... We wanna ask you something..." Effie and Delly said, as they came in. "You guys can ask me anything." I responded.
"How did you know you were... Pregnant?" Delly asked, nervously. Effie and Delly sat on the couch.
I said "Well I suspected about a couple days before the Victory Tour. Nausea, Tender chest area, Fatigue, Cravings, aversions to certain foods and smells, Missed period. Those were the more noticeable ones. Why?"
Delly said "I have similar symptoms..." Effie looked at us and said "Me too..."
I bit my lip, before saying "You guys both need to take a test, I have a couple here." I got the boxes, and handed one to Effie and then Delly. Effie used the one bathroom downstairs, while Delly used the one upstairs.
I waited for them to come into the room. About 10 minute later, both girls came out of the bathrooms. "So?" I asked.
Delly said "Positive... I'm terrified Kat..." I said "So was I, But When I found out we still had the Games to haunt us. But Hey, Remember this. You aren't alone in this. You have me, Effie, Rhye, My mom, Prim, Peeta. you have the family. WE love you."
She hugged me close. "Thanks Kat." I smiled and nodded, I knew RHye would be happy. We looked to Effie. She said "Do you think Haymitch wants children?"
"We think he does Effie. I'm sure He'll be overjoyed." Effie looked to me and Delly, before saying "I hope your right guys." They spent the morning visiting, then there was yet another knock. This was either Gale or Cinna. I opened the door to see Haymitch and Rhye. Effie and Delly smiled at their husbands, and left.
Gale was my next visitor. I invited him in, smiling. Gale said "Sure, but just for a few minutes." We visited for a few before he left, and Cinna arrived. He visited for awhile.
I started making some dinner, using a recipe from the Capital cookbook.
"Katniss! Honey!" Peeta said as he came in. "In the kitchen!" I called, happily. Peeta came in and said "Hey Kitten."
I said "Dinner's almost ready. Did you bring the bread?" Peeta said "Of course." He cut it up the bread, and I served up the food. "It smells delicious." He said, getting us some drinks. We sat at the table and started eating.
"Wow. Katniss, this is delicious!" Peeta said, as he finished his bowl. "Sound more shocked, Peeta." I said sweetly. He got up and got a second bowl. "Want some more?" He asked, gesturing to my empty bowl. I nodded, but said "I can get it." Peeta took the bowl and said "Nope. I'm gonna get it for you." I nodded, as he got some more. He served it up and sat it in front of me, before sitting beside me.
We ate, quietly. "District 12 are getting 2 new members, apart from ours. Although we should be fearful for one little baby..." Peeta said "What are you talking about?"
I said "Delly and Effie are Pregnant.." "Are you sure? how do you know for sure?" Peeta asked.
I rolled my eyes for a moment and said "A- I'm a women, and B- they came to me. When they came over, this morning. They asked How I knew. I had a couple extra tests so they took them. Both were positive."
Peeta said "I trust you Kitten... Which baby do we have to worry about?" I chuckled and said "I'll give you one guess."
Peeta thought for a moment before saying "Haymitch and Effie's. Right?" I nodded. We loved them both, but there was no way they'd be able to handle a baby on their own... Right?
Peeta kissed my head, soft. "Don't worry we got their backs.
