I am so so so so sorry for not updating last Sunday! I was so busy and I didn't have time and I wasn't even at home with wifi until Monday. But when I got home I checked the story stats for this and I am completely blown away! I've had five thousand seven hundred views! You are all completely amazing and I honestly can't thank you enough! I really don't deserve you! This is before Rueby was born. I don't own the hunger games, this chapter goes out to Keers! Enjoy!
There were only so many things in the world she was afraid of. The mines where her father had died, the Games, having her family hurt because of her. There was only one she ever thought she was safe from. One that she could prevent. But she couldn't. She was pregnant.
She slid down the wall, her eyes filling with tears. How could this have happened? How could she let this happen. She couldn't be responsible for bring a child into the world. She couldn't. How could she protect this child if she couldn't even protect herself. She sobbed and the tears started falling. This couldn't be real. How could it be real?
"Katniss?" Peeta asked through the bathroom door. She wiped her eyes. What was he doing here? He was supposed to be at work. "Go away!" She shouted. "Katniss, what's wrong?" She ignored him. "I'm coming in," he warned. She just hugged her knees and hid her face.
He opened the door cautiously and when he saw her on the floor, sat down next to her. "What's wrong?" He asked. She shook her head. He wrapped an arm around her, holding her close. "Katniss, you can tell me anything, you know." She nodded cautiously. "I just-" her voice was quiet and shaking. She bit her lip and said, "I'm pregnant."
Peeta knew how much this scared her. And however much he wanted kids, he cared about Katniss' wellbeing more. "Oh, Katniss." She started crying again and this time he just held her.
If he was asked, he couldn't tell you how long they stayed there. But after a while, Katniss stopped crying and sat up. "Are you okay?" He asked. She shook her head. "You're going to be a good mother, you know that, right?" He asked. "You think so?" She asked. "I know so." She gave him a halfhearted smile. "What should we name it?" She asked quietly. "If it's a girl, how about Claudette?"he asked. She laughed and shook her head. "No, if it's a boy we name him Finnick, and if it's a girl we'll name her Rueby." She smiled again. "Honestly, Claudette?" She asked. Peeta put his hands in the air. "Hey, your ideas are good too." He smiled at her and she rolled her eyes.
She looked at the floor again. "I'm sorry I cried to much." She whispered. "Hey," Peeta said softly, lifting her chin up. "You don't have to apologize to me. You'll never ever have to apologize to me." She hugged him. "I love you, always." He whispered.
Alright! Thanks for reading! Please please please review! It would seriously make my year! You guys are the best, I'll try and update a few extra times this week but we'll see.
