Real or Not Real By Olivia Isbill
Chapter 12
Katniss POV
I wake up and I'm in a hospital room. No one is in there with me. I'm lying by myself. After about twenty minutes Peeta walks in.
"Katniss, Are you okay?" He asks sitting next to me on the hospital bed.
"Yeah I'm fine. What exactly happened?" I ask him. I honestly don't remember, me and Peeta were out in the woods. Then I'm in a hospital.
"You pointed you bow at me, we were messing around in the woods. My mind freaked out into hijacking mode when I saw your bow pointed at me. I tackled you to the ground. I started to choke you and you passed out, A little bit later I realized what I did. I took you to the hospital and now we're here." His eyes were sad when he said this. I put one hand on my neck and feel the bruises. Peeta really did strangle me.
"I'm so sorry Katniss, I never meant to hurt you, my mind went crazy when I saw you with the bow, It reminded me of the Capitol memories that they out in my mind. That you tried to kill me during the games. But you never did. I'm so sorry." He says. I can tell he wants to cry, but he doesn't.
"It's okay Peeta." I say assuring him.
"No Katniss it's not okay, I tried to kill you. What if I pull something like that again? I don't know how I would live with myself if I killed you. I would have nothing to live for. You are my whole life Katniss." He says, now there are tears. From him and me. We are both crying.
"No Peeta it is okay, you couldn't control yourself. The Capitol messed up your mind. It wasn't your fault. I'm perfectly fine. I'm not broken. I love you Peeta, nothing would ever be able to change that. So, you tried to kill me. But that's okay. I should have been more careful out there. I should have realized what that might have done to you. I'm sorry." I tell him.
"You don't need to be, but that's okay. I love you too Katniss. I'm so sorry that any of this happened." Peeta says. I reach up and wrap my arms around his neck. I give him a huge hug. He didn't want this. Especially because I'm pregnant now. But everything is fine. We're both perfectly fine.
The doctor's let me go home after a couple of hours, but I have to stay home and not do much for a week. I can't go hunting or shopping or leave my house. Bed rest for a week. I won't enjoy this week to much, but I guess that's okay.
On Monday I woke up and Peeta and me drew some more in my book. We are almost finished with all the pages. Peeta visited Haymitch, and I called and talked to Annie. My mom sent some baby name books. I liked some of the plant names. Juniper, Poppy, Aspen, Maple, Posy. Oh Posy, Gale's little sister's name is Posy, I haven't seen the Hawthorne's in a very long time. I make a mental note to myself to visit them soon. I really like Aspen, it's a tree. Juniper is pretty too. I glance through other books with other baby names. I like Mason for a boy, and for a girl Penelope. There are so many different names. I have no idea what I will name my baby. But I'll figure it out.
Tuesday Peeta taught me how to make cheese buns. He knows they are my favorite, and since I can't leave the house for a week, I can make them if Peeta's not around. Except for the fact I fail at baking. I burnt the first batch badly. Almost had a house fire.
Wednesday Peeta and I discussed more baby names. He said he liked Delilah and Violet for a girl's name and Xavier for a boy's. Still I have no idea what to name my baby. We ruled our Maple and Juniper though. So we have narrowed it down a little. I still can't believe I am actually having a baby. In a little less than nine months I will be holding my baby.
Thursday I slept practically all day, being pregnant gets to you, you know?
I woke up the next day, Friday. I had a really weird craving for stuff. I woke Peeta up and we went downstairs. I grabbed flour from a cabinet.
"What's with the flour?" he asked me.
"I wanted some cookies. Do you want to bake them with me?" I asked him holding the flour.
"Of course." He says and I hand him the flour. He makes the dough with a couple different ingredients and I start to knead the bread. I'm not exactly sure how, so Peeta show's me. He stands behind me and puts is arms on mine. He moves his hands with mine guiding them. Just like we did out in the woods, when I was teaching him to shoot. Then things went bad.
We knead the dough and shape the dough into little round disks. We put them in the oven and they cook for about twenty minutes. Then we eat the delicious cookies.
"We make some good cookies." I tell Peeta.
"We sure do Katniss." He says smiling at me. I smile back and we continue to eat the cookies. Once we finish I tell him I need some sleep. I'm almost always tired. I walk over to the couch and sleep for a while. At least a couple hours. I have a nightmare though, so I don't sleep for very long actually. I wake up screaming and Peeta is almost automatically at my side.
"Katniss, It's alright, only a nightmare." He tells me stroking my hair. He always seems to do this to comfort me. It always works too. I reach up and kiss him.
"Thanks Peeta, I want to go back to sleep. Will you stay with me?" I say after we kiss, and of course he says what he normally does when I ask him to stay with me.
"Always."
