Chapter 10
"Hmm..." Say to myself as I scout the bakery for something good to eat. I walk into the frosting room. A bunch of unfrosted cupcakes sit there. Mixed in is one frosted on decorated with bright yellow frosting. I pick it up glance around as I walk back into the front of the bakery and step behind the registered. Way more interested in my new-found friend, when the door opens I continue to look at it.
"Hi, welcome to Mellark bakery how may I-" I look you to see Effie and baby David. "Oh! Hi Effie." I say lifting the cupcake to nose smelling the sweet frosting. Finally I can't wait any longer and I take a bite. Eating about half the thing in one bite. Effie looks at me in disgust as I pick up crumbs and put them in my mouth like a little child. The thought causes my hand to drift down to my 5 month baby bump.
"Katniss, I need to pick up some bread." Effie says pulling me out of my daze.
"Well sorry Effie we can't help you then. Too bad we don't make bread." Effie rolls her eyes as she sets Abbi down on the counter. Peeta walks out then wearing his apron covered in white flour. His hair has flour and small pieces of dough and batter stuck in it and even more flour puffed on his face.
I smile as I give him a quick soft kiss."Hey Peeta! Effie just gave me this awesome idea! We should sell bread here!" Peeta rolls his eyes. I pick up my cupcake taking another bite.
"Wait where did you get the cupcake?"
"What cupcake?" I ask. Cupcake shooting out of my mouth.
"That WAS for Mikala when she woke up from her nap." Peeta say wiping frosting of my face.
"Ah, Mikala's a baby, she wouldn't remember one surgery treat from another."
"She what this whole pregnancy things done to her, she doesn't even care that she's eating her daughters cupcake!" he says to Effie. "Oh, hey Effie what can I do for you?"
"I just need some olive bread. Thank you Peeta."
Peeta vanishes for a second returning with the loaf a moments later. I ring up Effie say goodbye to her and David then she walks out the door.
Now alone, I turn to Peeta. "Back to our earlier conversation. This." I say pointing to my round belly. "Was your idea."
"Well you agreed."
"To make you happy. Peeta, you know I didn't want one kid but here I am pregnant with your second."
"Now wait a minute Katniss. If you didn't want Mikala or this baby you could have just said so."
"I did, just you brought it up all the time, and you know I'll do almost anything for you. Even if it means going through a freaking pregnancy." I say, almost in tears now.
"Kat-" he says reaching for me.
"No." I say thrashing out of his grip. With that I walk out from behind the counter into the, figures, rainy street, with no idea where I am going.
