''I am pregnant''

The whole room goes silent. My throat feels tight and it's like all the air has left my lungs. Prim and Haymitch's expressions are a mix of shock and sadness. I look down at my feet attempting to hide my tears.

''Oh Katniss'' Prim squeaks and runs up to me wrapping her small arms around me. ''It's just not fair'' She whispers over and over again.

''I know Prim, I know'' I say as I kiss her forehead and break away from the hug.

''Congratulations to the both of you, I know this definitely isn't a great situation to be in but we may be able to make this work for us'' Haymitch states.

''What do you mean? How?'' Peeta asks, just as confused as I am.

''Well if we announce the pregnancy it might start a big enough riot for them to maybe spare you from going into the arena'' Haymitch says.

''I doubt they would let me be spared from going into the games, I am pretty sure I am the reason for these games'' I simply state washing away the little bit of hope Peeta had in his eyes as he realises that I am right.

''I know it's unlikely but all we can do is give it a shot'' Haymitch replies. I just nod in response.

''How far along are you'' My mother says breaking us away from our conversation.

''6 months'' I respond now turning my attention to my mother.

''6 months?'' Haymitch says shocked. ''How aren't you big?''

''I don't really quite know but the doctor said that since I am now in my last few months I will start to show a lot quicker''.

''Some women don't even show through they're whole pregnancy and some show heaps, it really depends on the type of women they are and what sort of lifestyle they live'' my mother states as a matter of fact. Everyone goes silent because they have run out of questions. It stays like this for a couple minutes but then I decide to break the silence.

''It is a boy'' I say with a smile as I think of our little boy who would probably have blond curls like Peeta.

''Congratulations honey'' My mother says as she envelopes her arms around me.

(Side note- I am going to make their time in the capitol longer to suit the story better, hope you don't mind)

The next day- day of the reaping

I wake up tired even though I just had a full night of sleep. Yesterday was a very tiring day and I guess that since I am pregnant I will get more tired easily. Peeta's arm is draped across me protectively and he is still asleep. I want to wake him so we can spend our last morning at home as a couple but I just can't seem to let myself wake him. He just looks so peaceful. So I decide to just go have a shower and hope that maybe he will be awake by the time I get back even though it is only 6am.

I crawl out of bed slowly trying not to make a sound and I head into Peeta's bathroom. I turn on the water ad strip myself of my clothes which consist of panties and one of Peeta's shirts. I look at myself in the mirror, mainly at my stomach. Nothing has really changed except the slight curve from yesterday is slightly more noticeable.

I jump in the shower under the hot running water. It feels so good running down my back, even though it kind of burns it's a good burning feeling. I find myself thinking of Peeta and our times in the shower and I start to feel a hunger in my stomach growing. My desire for Peeta almost makes me get out the shower and go to him but I stop myself and I continue to wash myself. I grab my strawberry scented shampoo and massage it through my hair. I rinse it out and let the bubbles run down my body. My mind starts to drift and I think about Peeta's hands covering my body when suddenly a hand is touching my body.

I open my eyes to find Peeta smirking at me. He tries to speak but I stop him by smashing my lips into his. It startles him but then he is soon kissing me back with passion, our kisses are full of love and need. They become hot and hungry as Peeta runs his hands through my hair and down my back towards my front then slowly kneading my breasts. My hands are up in his hair but then I work my way down his well-defined back then onto his front running up his abs and chest. I start to tingle down below as I feel his hardness press against my leg as his hands make their way down my front then onto my backside where he then continues to squeeze. I break away from our kisses for a moment to whisper ''I need you, now''. He nods and kisses me again. The tingle is now a burning desire that needs to be filled. He gently lifts me up by my backside, I wrap my arms around his neck then my legs around his waist and he presses me against the wall so the water in running down his back. Our tongues are dancing in perfect rhythm as he lifts me a little higher. I feel his tip at my entrance then it glides inside me and I feel a whole new sensation. We move in sync, first slow then getting fast and faster. I can feel myself getting close to my climax and he is getting close to his. We are both moaning and I am biting down on my lip trying not to be loud but I can't help it I moan loudly ''Oh Peeta''. He just gets faster until we both reach our climaxes. I feel him release inside me and then relax.

Our kisses our now slow and easy and we sit there for a while just enjoying the moment but eventually Peeta lifts me off him and my feet return to the ground.

''I'll let you have an actual shower now'' I say with a smirk as I kiss his cheek and hop out the shower. I towel myself off and head into the bedroom to get dressed. I get dressed in a simple lime green dress with faint leaf patterns over it, it reaches to just above my knee. I put on a plain brown belt to go with it and brown gladiator sandals. I then dry my hair and put it in a simple down the back braid, leaving a few strands of hair to shape my face. I don't bother with make up because I know I will definitely be getting plenty of make-overs through the next few weeks.

I head downstairs to have breakfast but I don't feel up to eating this morning as I look at the clock and realise it won't be long until the reaping. So I just pour myself a glass of juice and sit on the couch as I try and think of how I am going to say goodbye to my loved ones.

I hear Peeta's footsteps coming down the stairs and all I can think about is how Peeta will be after I die. I really don't want to leave him but my death is inevitable. I just hope he can move on and survive without me. No! I can't think like this now. I can't be emotional right now all I need to think about is keeping Peeta alive. My actions from this day forward can affect if Peeta lives or dies and I need to remember that.

''How do you think we should announce the baby?'' Peeta asks breaking my train of thought.

''Well we will need to discuss it with Haymitch but I think it should be during our interviews, I could announce that we are married then in yours you can announce the baby'' I say. I'm not very fond of the idea of sharing our baby with the capitol but it could save our lives even though it's very unlikely it is worth a shot.

Peeta comes over and sits next to me on the couch as he rests his hands on my stomach.

''I love you so much my little boy ad I am going to do everything I can to protect you'' he says to my stomach. ''I hope you turn out just like your mummy but with maybe less stubbornness and aggression '' he chuckles and kisses my stomach then my forehead.

'''Well I hope you turn out just like your father with those blond curls I love and gorgeous blue eyes'' I say rubbing where the baby is. ''I hope you are just as caring as him and sweet and kind and funny and handsome but since you're a mix of both of us you are definitely going to be stubborn, we both have a problem with being stubborn'' I say looking at Peeta.

''I love you Peeta'' I say as I kiss him.

''I love you too Katniss'' He responds. I look down at my stomach where both mine and Peeta's hands lay.

''And I love you too my baby boy'' I say. As I say this I feel something inside me and I gasp and move my hands away.

''What's wrong Katniss, does something hurt?'' Peeta asks very concerned.

''The baby, it…it moved'' I say shocked. Peeta smiles and places his hands on my stomach.

''Baby if you can hear this try and move'' Peeta says and sure enough the baby kicks against my stomach. He laughs and kisses my stomach.

''Oh my god, he's moving'' I say.

''Yeah he is'' Peeta laughs. ''How does it feel?'' he asks.

''Amazing'' I whisper still in awe. Then a knock at the door interrupts us. I look to the clock and realise what time it is. I look to Peeta and he has a knowing look in his eyes. We stand up and embrace each other quickly before we answer the door and surely enough there stand four peacekeepers. We exit the house and lock the door, not knowing how long it will be or even if we will ever get back to this house.

We walk side by side, hand in hand with two peacekeepers in front of us and two behind. On the way to the justice building we run into Haymitch who has two peacekeepers with him. We form a bigger group and continue the rest of the walk to the justice building. When we get there straight away I see my mother and Prim at the front of the crowd with tears in their eyes.

We head up the stairs and stand in our roped off areas, female and males. There are two bowls one for females which only has one slip inside of it. The one with my name on it. On the other side is the males and theirs has two slips of paper. One with Haymitch's name and the other with Peeta's.

This is the moment which will change our lives forever.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter and just letting you know as I said earlier in the chapter I will be making their time in the capitol longer, so their training will be longer and I may add in more events. I'm not quite sure. Tell me what you think.
