I only had one idea offered, if you don't read the author's note, then you are missing out. YOUR ideas could be in the story, but only if you review and tell me them…
Chapter 11 – Peeta's POV
Katniss isn't in bed this morning. Again. I get up and rub my eyes. The bathroom door is closed. I walk over to it and knock. "Katniss?"
"Go away." I hear Katniss cough. She sounds like she's throwing up. "Ew." She mutters.
"Katniss, are you okay?"
"I said go away!" I open the door. She looks back at me. She leans back on the toilet. "Peeta, I'm disgusting. I feel like shit."
It hits me. "How long has it been since we've had sex?"
Her eyes grow wider. "I'm pregnant." She can't seem to believe it.
I sit next to her and kiss her cheek. I can't seem to stop smiling. "You wanna go to the doctor?"
"Sure." She tries to stand up. "Uh oh." She hunches over the toilet. I hold her hair back.
"Better?"
"Actually, a little. Let's go." She brushes her teeth and I stand up and help her walk. "I'm fine now."
"Good." She goes to the dresser and throws on a pair of my shorts and one of my t-shirts. "Do you like my clothes better?" She smiles.
"Wait." We almost make it to the stairs.
"Andy." I almost read her mind.
"Andy!" She calls. Andy comes running up to us. "Andy, we're going drop you off at Uncle Gale's house."
I never really liked that she told Andy that Gale was her uncle, but they are close. I didn't want to stop her.
"Why?"
"Mommy doesn't feel good. We're going to see what's wrong with her."
"Oh. What's wrong?"
"My tummy hurts a little. But I'll be fine."
"Good." She hugs Katniss's legs.
I carry her downstairs. I call into the hospital for an appointment. The lady at reception just asks for names and tells us to come in. Then we load up in the car.
When we pull up to Gale's house, I get out with Andy. Gale moved out a couple years ago. He lives in our neighborhood, but on the complete other side of it.
"Come on, Andy." She takes my hand and we walk up to the door. I hold her up to knock on it.
Gale answers. "Hello Andy!" He smiles at her. "Good morning, Peeta." His facial expression has changed. "Where's Katniss."
"I need to tell you about that. Can Andy stay here for a few hours?"
"Okay," he looks confused. "Andy, the remote is on the couch. You can watch some cartoons."
Andy runs inside and changes the channel. Gale and I walk into the kitchen to talk. "So," I begin.
"What is wrong with Katniss."
I rub the back on my neck with my hand. "Well-" He glares at me. "We think she's pregnant again."
His jaw drops. "Is that what I walked into?"
I feel my face get red. "Yeah."
He runs his fingers through his hair. "Did you mean to?"
"Yeah, she wanted another kid."
"I see." We stand in silence for a couple seconds. "So, if she is. Congradulations. Tell her that for me, okay?"
"I will. Thanks for watching over Andy. We'd have left her with Prim, but she's at school. Just one thing; don't tell anyone about Katniss."
"I won't. And you're welcome."
I hug Andy goodbye and nod to Gale. I walk out of his house and get back into the car. "So, how'd it go?" Katniss asks.
"Better than I thought actually."
"What did he say?"
"He said congratulations if you are really pregnant."
"You told him?"
"Well, he looked like he wanted to know why I dropped Andy off with him." She still looked unsure. "I told him not to tell anybody."
"Okay." We don't speak the rest of the way to the hospital.
We get to the hospital. Memories of Katniss's first pregnancy and me getting stabbed. I look at Katniss's face when we get to the maternity ward. She appears to have mixed emotions. I wrap my arm around her waist and kiss her forehead. "It'll be okay."
"I'm nervous, happy, and terrified."
"You'll be okay."
"I know, but I'm still scared."
"There's no reason why you shouldn't be."
"You're so sweet. You always know what to say." She kisses me softly on the lips.
We walk up to the counter. The lady looks up at us. She looks to be in her late twenties. "I remember you. I thought that name sounded familiar. Katniss Mellark, right?"
"Everdeen." Katniss shoots me a glare. I just laugh. "Well, for now." She smiles.
"You proposed?" She looks at me. I nod. "Good for you. If you don't mind me saying, weren't you seventeen last time we saw you?"
Katniss groaned, "Yeah."
"Well, you should feel lucky. Most teen pregnancies end in the girl taking the baby and the boy leaving them." We nod. "Just fill this out and the doctor will be right with you." She hands us a clipboard with papers and a pen.
Katniss helped a little with filling out the papers, but I did most of it. Five minutes later, a man walks out of a set of doors. "Mellark?"
"Everdeen." Katniss stands up.
"I remember you two. How's the baby?"
"She's three and a half."
"It's been that long? Wow." He gestures for us to follow him. "So, trying for another?"
"I think we have another." Katniss says.
"I see. How many weeks do you think you're at?"
Katniss looks at me. I answer for her. "Maybe eight."
"Oh. Morning sickness?" He asks.
"Yeah, funny because it's not usually in the morning for me." Katniss laughs.
"I don't know why they call it that." The doctor replies. We come to a door. "Go ahead."
We walk in. Katniss lays in the bed and I sit in a chair next to her. "Lift your shirt up. I'm going to need to see your stomach." Katniss lifts her shirt to just below her breasts. I tickle her stomach a little and she giggles.
The doctor puts clear gel on her and uses the same monitor thing that we saw a few years ago. A picture comes up on the monitor. There is a little spec in her womb. It looks like a little tadpole. "You see that?" He points to the tadpole. "That's your baby."
"I'm really pregnant then?"
"Yes. Congratulations." I kiss Katniss's hand. "You may find out the gender in ten weeks, if you would like."
Katniss nods. "We will. Thank you."
Baby #2 on the way! We'll find out the gender next chapter. Any names?
