Katniss pov

"Johanna!" I scream blushing as I try to cover myself with Peeta.

"Hi, Brainless!" She says happily. "What's up?"

"Hmmm...I don't know, just having sex with my husband,"I say sarcastically.

"Yeah, I can see that,"she says.

"Can you just give us a moment, Johanna?" Peeta asks nicely.

"Hmmm, I don't know Peeta boy, I wouldn't be able to look at that nice ads of yours." She says with a cackle at the end. Peeta rolls his eyes and reaches for his underwear, while trying to cover me.

He grabs my shirt and throws it to me. I zip it up and wait for him to grab my underwear. Peeta has never had a problem with nudity, but I do. He hands me my underwear and I quickly slip it on.

"Johanna, what are you doing here?"I ask slightly annoyed by the intrusion and interruption.

With exaggerated mock hurt she says,"can't a girl visit her friends? I haven't visited you in a while and we have a lot to catch up on."

"Cut the shit, Johanna. What is it?" I say.

"I have a bit of a problem... and you are the best one to talk about it to." She says.

I can see it in her eyes. She really needs me.

"Okay, just give me a moment and then we'll go back to my house."I say. She nods and steps out of the room closing the door behind her. I turn to Peeta worried. "What do you think it could be?"

"I'm not sure, "Peeta says,"but she really needs you. And Johanna never asks for help."

"You're right, Peeta."I say.

He kisses me and says,"I'll see you when I get home."

"Okay,"I say and pull on my clothes.

"And we can finish what we started,"he whispers in my ear.

I blush and smile. I don't say anything, I just nod.

I walk out the door and find that Johanna isn't there. So I walk to the kitchen, and find a frustrated Tyler trying to stop Johanna from eating a pastrie. "Ma'am, you can't be back here. Please go back to the front-no don't eat that!"

"It's okay, Tyler she's a close friend."

"Okay..."He says a little reluctant to leave.

"Who does that guy think he is?" Johanna says with food in her mouth.

"It's Tyler, and he's just doing his job. He's new, so don't scare him off. He seems like a good guy."

"Fine,"she buffs.

"Lets go back to my house so we can talk,"I say to her.

When we arrive at my house, she goes into the kitchen and takes a seat at the table. "So what's up, Johanna?"I ask.

"I think I'm in love." She says it like it's the worst thing in the world.

"That's great, Johanna!"I say happily.

"No it's not!"She says throwing her hands up.

"Tell me what happened?"I demand.

"Well, back in seven, I was at the bar. And then I see this familiar face. So I go over to him and start taking shots with him and talking and then that night we have like the best sex I've ever had. And then I saw him there every week for a month. And I realized that I'm in love. But it scares the fucking shit out of me, because everyone I love dies."

"Johanna, that's because of Snow. You don't have to worry about that anymore. He's dead now. You can love someone and not worry about them dying because of Snow."I tell her.

"That doesn't mean you stop worrying,"she argues.

"I suppose not, but it's less to worry about." I say.

"Do you still worry about Peeta?"

"Everyday. But the fear doesn't rule my life anymore." I tell her honestly.

She nods.

"So who is this familiar face?"I ask her.

"You are going to be surprised..."She says.

I stare at her blankly,"who is it?"

"It's Gale."

I'm taken aback by this. Gale? As in Gale Hawthorne?

"Gale?"

"Yes."

"I thought he was in two?"I ask.

"He's a general, and he had a mission in seven. He was there all month and has to return next month. He couldn't tell me why, though. He was really lonely when I first saw him." She says.

"I can imagine that being a general can be a lonely job."I say,"but he chose that life."

"He said he was going to see you, but he wasn't sure how you would feel." She says.

"Does he know?"I ask.

"About you being married to Peeta?" She asks.

"Yeah."

"Yeah, his mom told him. He's happy for you."

"Maybe I should call him. I haven't seen him in forever."

"Katniss, I can't face him!" She says.

"And why not? I thought things were going good?"I ask.

"They are, I mean we have a strange relationship, but there's more to it..."She says looking down.

"What is it?"I ask.

"I think it's possible that I might be pregnant."

"Johanna!"I say.

"That's why I need your help. I don't know what to do, Katniss."

"First you need to find out if you even are pregnant."I tell her.

"You're right."

"My mom can check you. She's been doing that for years."I explain.

"Okay."

"If you ars, then you have to tell him. And if you aren't, you don't have to say anything. Just make sure you dispose of the test properly if you take one that way"

"Wait- did you have a pregnancy scare?"

"Yes,"I sigh.

"Wow, I'm surprised,"she says.

"I was so scared." I say.

"Did you tell Peeta?"

"Eventually." I say,"let me go call my mom so she can check on you."

After j call my mom, I sit back down with Johanna and we talk more about Gale. She tells me that he will be in twelve for a week. I really want to see him. I want to make sure he's alright. From the sounds of it, he might be going into a depression, and he seems to be coping with it with alcohol.

There's a knock on the door signalling my mom's arrival.

"Are you ready Johanna?"I ask.

A/N sorry I haven't posted sooner. This weekend was my birthday so I've been busy with constant parties. And today is my mom's birthday, but i managed to get some time in so I could finish this chapter. Please review!
