The water laps over my boots and I dive into the salty water. I swim slower than usual because of my current condition. Finnick comes over to me and I grab a bow and arrows. That's when I see the bangle Haymitch had before, in the hospital. Looks like he is my ally. I grab my backpack and extra weapons. Finnick gets weapons and looks at Annie struggling. He scoops her up onto the sand. I look at Peeta and Finnick says "I'll get him. Better not exert yourself. Not in your condition."

But I am already in. I mutter as I feel the waves rocking me. They bring on the morning sickness but I sink and swallow a bit of water. I resurface, choking. I bob down into the water and above again. Peeta yells at me but it's too late. I am drowning.

I feel a firm grip around my waist and I am deftly lifted out of the water. I cough out water for the next five minutes and Peeta sits me up. "I'm ok now. I can swim. We swim/ paddle across the waves over to the jungle. we sit for a minute to recuperate. Finnick offers us the chance to stay for a while and I don't refuse. I also don't refuse a nap either. But I can't sleep and Annie can't as well. Finnick and Peeta are dozing. Annie taps me on the shoulder and I ask "What's the matter Annie?"

There is no reply but Annie points first at my belly then herself and finally presses her finger against my lips. At first I don't get it and then I do.

"You're pregnant but don't tell anyone?" I say and Annie nods. Maybe it hurts her to speak. Finnick and Peeta wake up. Peeta turns to me and back again to Finnick. He is hugging Annie.

Peeta says "Double date tonight then?" laughing.

I brush away a tear and Peeta notices. "Katniss did I upset you?"

I look at Annie and she nods. It's time to tell our secret. "Finnick and Peeta, Annie told me when you were asleep. She's pregnant. Peeta, I was crying because I might never hear that laugh again."

Peeta looks shocked, "I'll laugh every day, OK." He promises me. Peeta goes ahead slicing down the bracken. We come to a hilltop. My eyes are drawn to a ripple in the sky. "Peeta wait!" That's when he hits the force field. He flies back and I run to his side. Finnick closes off his mouth and nose. "Stop!" I yell and Finnick hits me square into a tree. I have to take ten minutes to regain my breath.

Finnick then starts kissing Peeta. I realize that it is a method, the kiss of life, to bring someone back to life. After an hour of this, I lose hope. Annie comes over to me. She then says "Finnick's great at this. Don't worry!", the first words she's ever said to me.

Finnick steps back and looks at me. I fear the worse. That my twins will grow up without a father when all of a sudden Peeta gives a little cough. I sigh and jump on top of him and kiss him until I have no breath.

"Er Katniss, I can't breathe." Peeta murmurs. I get off his chest and kneel by him. His lashes flutter open and his eyes meet mine. "Careful," he says weakly, "There's a force field up ahead."

I laugh but there are tears running down my cheeks.

"Must be a lot stronger than the one on the Training Centre roof." he says, "I'm alright though, just a little shaken."

"You were dead! Your heart stopped!" I burst out before really considering if this is a good idea. I clap my hand over my mouth because I'm starting to make those awful choking sounds that happen when I sob.

"Well it seems to be working now," he says. "It's all right Katniss." I nod my head but the sounds aren't stopping. "Katniss?" now Peeta's worried about me, which adds to the insanity of it all.

"It's ok. It's just her hormones." says Finnick "From the babies." I look up and see him, sitting back on his knees but still panting, a bit from the climb and the heat and the effort of bringing Peeta back from the dead.

"No, it's not -" I get out, but I'm cut off by an even more hysterical round of sobbing that seems to confirm what Finnick said about the babies.
