Katniss pov

After a week of Peeta acting weird, I decide that I'm fed up with his behavior. I call Haymitch and Gale and ask them for some help. Peeta is sitting at his desk sketching when they come. They come up behind him along with me.

"Oh, hey guys-"

They lung forward and tie him to the chair.

"WHAT THE FUCK!"he yells as they do so. "KATNISS!"

"I'm so sorry, honey,"I say,"but you need to go to the hospital. I love you so much and I want you to get checked out. For Willow, and for me. Please stop struggling and let us take you."

"Katniss, please don't make me do this."

"I'm sorry Peeta, but I'm scared for your health. I didn't want to have to do this to you, but Peeta, you've been acting so weird. I'm sorry, but I'm doing this because I love you so much, and I want you to be the Peeta that I love, not the snapping, angry, short tempered, pained Peeta. But I promise that I will stay with you the whole time."

He sighs and looks down. Tears are in both of our eyes. Then with a nod given to Haymitch and Gale, they start to wheel him. "Let me get Willow,"I say to them. I run to the play pin and pick up Willow. She reaches out to my so I hold her closer.

Then we all go to the hospital. The nurse looks very confused when she sees Peetatied up to the chair. However she does get us back almost instantly. Then Dr. Cano, the doctor who helped them last time comes in.

"Hello, Mr and Mrs Mellark, I am Dr. Cano. I see there are some more problems. I'm assuming it's the leg?"

"Not completely,"I say,"Peeta has been acting weird, it started with a nightmare and his leg has been hurting but he wouldn't let me help him. From then he's just been acting weird. I was worried and he wouldn't even let me take him in. As you can see, we had to tie him up. I'm just so worried."

"Well, I'm first going to look at his leg. I have forms that you need to fill out first. But I will be back soon to take you onto a separate area. Let me get an actual wheelchair. He hands Peeta the forms and then leaves.

As Peeta fills them out I notice that he his having a hard time writing. "Do you want me to fill it out for you?" I ask.

"Yes,"he says sighing.

"Okay, any history of heart problems, cancer or stroke in your family?"

"Cancer"

"Have you ever broken a bone?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever had any type of disease that infects the liver, lungs, or heart?"

"No."

"Are you a virgin-obviously not, you have a kid."

"Do you have any STD's, HIV, OR AID's?"

"Nope!"

After many questions, the Dr. Comes back in and takes Peeta to a different place. I wait out in the waiting room with Haymitch and Gale. Willow wiggles in my arms and sucks on her thumb. She's the only one keeping me calm right now.

After a very long half an hour, I'm called back.

Peeta isn't there when they call me and I panic and Haymitch has Willow, so I don't have her to calm me down.

"Where's Peeta?!"

"Please calm down, Mrs. Mellark. He is in a room right now. I brought you back here so I can discuss his condition... first, his leg. It appears that he has an infection on the end of it, and its very inflamed. It could be from numerous reasons, like overworking himself is most likely the cause, if he has been on his leg for too long or was doing too much, it could cause cuts and rashes and even infection. Another reason is not cleaning his leg well enough, especially his scar tissue. It could also be from a simple cut getting infected. I understand Peeta runs the bakery, which is why I suspect the first one. The next thing will explain why he's been acting weird. It appears that the infection that his body is trying so hard to fight, is causing his body to not fight or I should say contain the venom still in him. So slowly, without antibiotics, his venom was coming out more and more and getting in his blood stream. If we didn't catch it soon enough, it would have caused him to slowly convert back to that hijacked state, which is very harmful for all three of you. So I'm putting him on antibiotics so that his body won't have to work as hard to fight the infection and can contain the venom, if that doesn't help and he does end up in his hijacked state again, that means he would have to go to the capitol for a highly dangerous procedure that will take the venom from his brain. I really hope it doesn't come down to that because there are possibilities of him not remembering you or your child. And I don't want that to happen. So hopefully that will help. We are going to refit his prosthetic, and give you a healing cream that will need to be rubbed into his leg every night. Any questions?"

"Can I go see my husband?"

"Of course."

He leads me to the room Peeta is. He is on some drugs so he isn't really that into everything. I kiss his forehead and then rest mine against his. He smiles at me and says,"you're so so so beautiful!"

I smile at him and run my fingers through his hair. I really hope they can help him. give him a quick kiss before getting Haymitch and Gale. After signing papers and going to the pharmacy, we finally get home where I let him rest. And that night, I can't sleep. So I watch him sleep and pray that this works. For Willow, for me.
