A/N: Hello peoples! Okay so I'm sorry for the short chapter, but let me get something out of the way. I'm gonna be a jerk and say that y'all got to leave me 30 reviews, and then I will update, and please leave wether if you think that the twins should live or die. I will choose a random number between 9-40 and anyone with that number of a review will get to have the chosen thing so please review if you want me to update. Now, on to the story!
"I think we should schedule a doctor's appointment to check on the twins."
She nods her head, and I pull out two muffins, and two glasses of water.
She nibbles the muffin, and sips the water in silence.
When I get up, I knock the glass over, and it shatters.
Katniss flinches.
"Please don't hurt me," she says.
I walk over and caress her cheek, but she moves her head back.
"Don't touch me!" she screams.
She scurries up the stairs, and I hear a door slam shut.
I think about what Gale could have done. I know that he has access to tracker jacker venom, but I can't tell if he did anything.
I want to just kiss her bruises, and reassure her, tell her everything will be okay, and Gale will never hurt her again.
I plop down on the couch, and curl up in a ball. I just think about how to fix this. Katniss is a little unstable, especially with the Gale thing, and I'm scared that if we lose the twins, she will become even more unstable.
I trudge up to bed, but first open Prim's old room.
I see Katniss, slouched in the corner, crying, with her face buried in her knees.
"Hey, beautiful," I whisper.
She looks up at me with disgust.
"Get away from me Gale! You nearly killed her. You."
"Katniss," I say gently.
"I'm Peeta, not Gale. I was with you when the bomb went off."
She backs away from me when I sit next to her.
"Please, get some sleep. You are obviously tired. I mean you didn't even sleep there did you?"
She shakes her head, as I scoop her up in my arms.
I can feel her muscles tense when I scoop her up, but she leans her head into my chest.
I place her on the bed, as she makes her way to the bathroom. Afterwards she falls asleep in my arms, as we drift off to a night full of nightmares.
