2 months later (Katniss = 6 months pregnant Effie = 4 months pregnant)
"Ok Kat, here's the yellow, and we can either pick this one or this darker one!" Peeta says pointing to two different shades of yellow cardboard. Peeta and I have decided to start decorating the nursery, and seeing as I am very against the stereotypical 'pink for girls and blue for boys' we have decided to go with the colors of yellow, orange and red, like the sunset.
Effie and Haymitch invited Peeta and I to their second ultrasound appointment where they found out that they were also having a baby girl. Effie was extremely excited and so happy that she would be able to have a 'mini-her'. Again, I saw Haymitch wiping away tears once he found out that he was having a baby girl. Effie has also already started decorating her nursery and, of course, she is going full pink. She has a gorgeous pink cot, pink change table, pink walls and of course a hot pink fluffy carpet.
My reactions to the baby movements are still bad however; as they get more frequent I am able to cope with them easier each time. Peeta and I have found a method to be able to cope with the movements. Peeta will hold me in his arms and rock me back and forth while he sings the song that I sang to Rue when she was dying.
"Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place when I love you."
"Well I guess the lighter one looks better, it will stand out more with the oranges and reds" I say gazing down at the different colors while absent mindedly stroking my stomach (which is much bigger now!). "Yeah, I think so too" Peeta says rubbing my shoulders. Peeta and I have planned out the walls of the nursery; both of the sidewalls are going to be this light yellow that we have picked out, the back wall will depict a sunset with the oranges, reds and yellows, and the front wall is my favorite; it is the one that Peeta decided on. It will depict a forest with plenty of greens and different shades of blues to show the sky. Just as Peeta finishes talking I hear the door opening downstairs and assume that it is either Haymitch or Effie.
"Sweetheart, are you up there?" Haymitch yells up the stairs in an extremely urgent voice, that immediately grabs my attention. "Yes, we are up here in the nursery Haymitch" I say and Peeta looks at me curiously. I shrug back at him as I hear Haymitch running up the stairs.
"Hey Haymitch what's up?" Peeta says as Haymitch rushes into the room. "Effie, she fell over, she's… she's… there's something wrong… she's in pain!" He stutters and from his tone of voice I can tell that he is extremely worried. Peeta and I immediately rush down the stairs with Haymitch sprinting behind us.
We rush through the door and I turn around to Haymitch to ask where Effie is. "Kitchen" is all he says while I rush into the next room.
The first thing that I see when I enter the room is a big box of food scattered on the floor, with Effie lying right in the middle of it. Her face is propped up towards me and her face is not her normal 'make-uped' self, she was blotchy and there is fear plastered all over her face. I rush over to her. "Effie what's wrong?" I say struggling to bend down with my big bump blocking my way.
"I… I fell… oh Katniss… it hurts… it hurts so bad!" She stutters whimpering in pain and clutching at her stomach. I have never seen Effie like this. She is normally so in control of every situation and so calm and composed. "It's okay Effie, we will take you to Doctor George, he will know what to do!" I say rubbing her back, trying to make her feel better and more comfortable.
