******************************************************************************Hi Everybody! Just wanted to put a quick note up here… I can't thank you enough for all the reviews and votes! You all continue to amaze, inspire and surprise me with all the support! Here's today's chapter! I love you all!

************************************Katniss' POV*******************************

All of a sudden the picture starts to clear, "Congratulations, you guys are having a baby girl!" Peeta jumps from his seat and plants a huge kiss on my lips. "Kat. We're having a baby girl! I can't believe it! She's going to be perfect just like her mother!" Peeta continues to walk in a circle yelling out happy thoughts. A girl…a girl…why did you have to be a girl? I wanted you to be like your daddy. I can't help but feel disappointed that it's a girl. Since the beginning of the pregnancy I had wanted a little boy. One that, I could take into the woods with me. Who would enjoy the hunt exactly as I do. I never really pictured me with a little girl who liked…what? What do little girls like? Peeta hasn't stopped his happy ranting and keeps coming over to me and pecking me on the lips. I finally come back from my thoughts, Peeta's eyes have widened and he's just…staring at me. Why are you staring at me? "What's wrong Peeta?" "I asked you something…" "Oh I'm sorry. What did you ask?" "Aren't you excited?" "Yeah, I guess so." "You don't sound excited!" He jumps up and down like a child by the side of my table, "I am excited. I guess… I had just kinda hoped for a baby boy…like you." Peeta shakes his head and helps me off the table.

He starts to bend down to pick me up… "Peeta... I'd like to walk. I can't start getting fat for real. How will I ever sneak up on the animals when we get back to twelve?" I take his hand and we walk out, the excitement in his voice doesn't fade until we get back to the room. I half sit on his lap again once we reach the couch. I keep a firm grasp on his hand, for two reasons. One: I want to keep him as close to me as possible, since the accident I feel like I haven't even seen him. And two: He is driving me up the walls with that same part of the wedding video, which he persists to keep replaying. If there's any part I want to see in the video…it's Peeta, and he always skips through the parts with him in them. "Kat.?" "Yeah, Peeta?" "Are you really unhappy that it's a girl?"

"It's just…the thing that made me accept the pregnancy was the thought of having a boy that looked like you, and now that, that is over I don't know how I feel." Peeta's grip loosens on my hand, "I'm sorry Katniss." "Tell me the reasons you want a girl….that'll help me." Peeta's smile of hope brightens my mood, and its true maybe Peeta has some good reasons for wanting a girl…. "Oh…where do I even start? Well…I like the idea of a little baker to help me out with making your cheesy buns. I like the idea of seeing our little girl with the same beautiful, long seam hair, and stunning silver eyes." "Grey eyes." I remind him; only in his eyes do mine look silver. "You're perfect Katniss…and I just want to see another little you." I smile at his words, they don't only show his reasons, they are filled with love…and he does have a point with the baking thing. Poor Peeta needs somebody he can bake with…or…correction….won't ruin the dough at a single touch, the way I do. "Were those answers okay for you Kat.?" "Perfect." I snuggle against his chest and breathe out a sigh of relief, maybe I do want a little girl…. "And on top of all that Kat, you said you wanted somebody to hunt with…who's to say our little girl won't be gifted in hunting as well as baking?" He kisses the top of my head, and whispers quietly in my ear, "I love you. You're going to be a great mother." That never has occurred to me…after all I'm a girl and I'm a gifted hunter. Who's to say my daughter won't be either? We both doze off for a couple hours.

*********************************Annie's POV**********************************

I haven't heard from Katniss since she left with Effie… I walk up the stairs to grab Dillan, and change him from nap clothes. "Hi buddy…" He cranes his neck towards the doorway, "I know exactly who you're looking for...your Aunt Katniss….and your little girlfriend! Dillan…Daddy would already be proud of your flirting skills." I laugh to myself and throw Dillan into some play clothes. "What do you say we go see Aunt Katniss and Uncle Peeta?" In response Dillan just looks blankly at me… "And your little girlfriend…" I tickle his stomach and he laughs uncontrollably. It's a fairly short ride to the hospital, lucky for me Dillan's diaper remains clean.

I laugh and walk into the building with Dillan on my hip. "Excuse me. Where is the Mellark's room?" "Who are you?" The nurse coldly asks me. "Annie. The Mellarks are my friends." The nurse's eyes widen at my name, "Oh! Hello Mrs. Odair! Would you like anything to drink? Can I get you anything? Anything at all!" "Nope. Just a point in the direction of where my friends' room, is all I need." "Right over there, Mrs. Odair!" She points to the left and I don't even bother to thank her. I see how it is…hate me when I'm just some lady here to see friends; but as soon as we throw the last name Odair into the game…suddenly I'm royalty…I shake my head in disgust at how stupid some people can act about Finnick. I don't hesitate to open the door, "Knock, knock, knock! Annie Odair is here!"

They both jump to their feet from the couch, judging by their shocked expressions they had been sleeping. Dillan joins in on the laugh fest that I started. You never let me down do you buddy? I run over to Peeta, "Do you remember me?" "Of course I do Annie!" I hug him, and before I pull away Dillan is already reaching towards Katniss. "Hi Dillan!" Katniss immediately takes Dillan into her arms, she tries kissing his soft curly hair, but he isn't interested in Katniss, only her tummy. He starts laughing at it and gently patting it. Peeta picks him up from behind and throws him into the air, and catches the laughing Dillan. "Are you already trying to flirt with my daughter?" Peeta gives him a serious and questioning look, Dillan does the same. At the same time they both start laughing; Peeta kisses him on the head, and situates him in his arms.

***********************************Katniss' POV********************************

"Is it really a girl?" Annie screams this out with the excitement clear in her voice. "Yeah, we just found out today." Annie runs over to me and hugs me long and hard. Then before I can say anything else to her, she's on her knees, with her hand resting on my stomach. "Hi Sweetie! I'm your Aunt Annie! If things work out with you and Dillan, we'll be seeing quite a lot of each other!" She gives my belly one last pat and then gets back to her feet. "Sorry to just…drop in on you guys, but I wanted to know how all three of you are doing." "It's okay Annie. But I think there's another couple you should drop in on…" "What do you mean?" "Haymitch and Effie have been here to keep check on me and Peeta…they're down a couple hallways, room thirteen." Annie gives me a smile of understanding, she bends down and jumps up as high as she can and then does a cartoon character like run out the door, laughing all the way. "Oh, Annie…."

Peeta walks over to me, Dillan is still in his arms, and Peeta wraps his arm around my waist. "So it's just me, you, and a baby…." He raises an eyebrow at me, "Oh ha ha ha. You're quite the comedian, aren't you?" I peck both boys on the cheek and then rest my head on Peeta's shoulder, when I suddenly feel an urge; I jerk my own head up… "Why do you get Dillan all to yourself?" I smile and extend my arms for Dillan, Peeta places him in my arms happily, and I feel….more whole with a baby in my arms. "Hey Buddy, eyes up here..." I could tell he was about to start cooing to my daughter again. I laugh and kiss his sweet little nose, "Dillan, you are way too cute. Our daughter is going to have some tough competition." I go over to the couch and sit down with Dillan facing towards me, "Between you and me…I thought it was funny when you spit your milk up, on Effie." Dillan seems to try to be recalling the moment, it only takes a couple seconds, and he starts turning red of laughter.

I bounce him up and down for a little while, his laughter makes me smile and it's hard not to kiss his chubby cheeks, I feel somebody sit down on the couch with us. "Kat you're going to make an amazing mother." "Well thanks. But I don't know how well I'll do with a little girl…" "You practically raised Prim. And you know she loved you more than life itself." "I try to only think about the moments with Prim that were…peaceful. And I realize that I've missed her desperately…I've just been so injured that I couldn't manage to think about her at all. I give a smile to Peeta. "WHOO! BUDDY!" Peeta lifts Dillan up and holds him far away from his body, "somebody needs a diaper change…right now!" I cover my mouth so the laugh isn't so obvious…I'd love to laugh harder, but the last thing I need is a dirty diaper thrown by my feet.

I grab a diaper out of Annie's bag and join Peeta on the floor while he somehow managed to pull the diaper off… Peeta balls it up and throws it into the trash bag, "Dillan, buddy, couldn't you have waited until your mommy came back to… let out this present to the world?" "Peeta… This is what babies do…and you wonder why I didn't used to want a baby." He just pinches his nose and pulls the new diaper onto Dillan. He bounces him up and into his arms, "You little stinker!" Peeta holds him towards me and I kiss his soft curly hair, Peeta rocks him back and forth, lulling him to sleep. His beautiful green eyes close slowly, he's reluctant to fall asleep with all the new surroundings but eventually his exhaustion makes him cave in, and he is fast asleep. I take Dillan from Peeta's large arms and carry him over to our bed. I pull all the pillows in square and place Dillan in the middle so he won't roll off the bed. I kiss his nose, he's absolutely a gorgeous baby, and he looks so peaceful, so happy. I look down at my stomach and rub it happily, soon I'll be able to tuck you into your crib. I walk over to the couch and stare at my feet, for a minute. I hope this little girl will be as small as Prim. I don't know how much weight I can carry for another seven months.

"Peeta? Where'd you go?" I can hear him screaming from the bathroom, "Peeta!" I jump up and run over to the bathroom door, I don't realize that I'm screaming until I can hear Dillan yelling his head off from the noise. "Peeta! Open this door right now!" Peeta continues to scream, as if he's in pain… "PEETA!" I have not only woken up Dillan but also my daughter. I bang on the door; slowly I can hear the latch pop open. "Peeta?" Peeta is crouched over and his arm is bleeding, there is sweat covering his entire forehead, and he seems winded. "Peeta? What happened?" I crouch down and hold his arm in my hand, it's steadily bleeding…. Our daughter hasn't stopped kicking, since I woke her up. "Peeta! What happened?"
