Sorry guys for the cliffhanger last time, huehuehue. But now the chapter is here. It's relatively short but at least it will explain the last chapter.
Thank you so much for supporting this story. Please continue to review, it makes me so happy every time I get a response from you guys. :)
Update coming soon, aypproductions.
Libby seems to sense that she has stepped way out of line when she sees my expression. I must look like I had just been slapped in the face.
"Ah, I mean that, you know . . ." she stutters.
I just stare at her.
"Let me explain." says Libby, looking around. "It gets very complicated but you deserve an explanation."
"What have you guys been keeping from me?" I say. Aiden's suckling seems to be getting more painful by the second.
"Snow did not believe that you were pregnant going in to the Quarter Quell. However, he thought that if he went along with the idea that it may pacify the districts. It would show that he was supporting innocent life." Libby begins. "So before you went into the games he requested to have Peeta and your DNA on file, therefore if you by some miraculous chance, won, he would be able to use your child to manipulate you to cooperate with him."
Libby purses her lips before continuing. "He was in the middle of using your and Peeta's DNA with capitol fertility technology to create the baby when you suddenly blew up the arena. Aiden was the code name for the project, a jab at the fact that you are the 'girl on fire'. He stopped the baby's development but by that time Aiden was already -"
"Already what?" I ask hoarsly.
"Already alive." Libby responds.
"How did Aiden end up in Thirteen?"
"Cressida, Castor and Pollux knew of Aiden's existence and they managed to rescue him before Snow could get his hands on him, and brought him over."
"You made up the story about his parents when I first met you?" I ask, trying to keep my voice calm.
Libby nods lamely, "President Coin didn't want you to know."
I don't even know what to think anymore. Libby has just paralyzed me with an onslaught of information that has knocked me dumb. I quickly hand Aiden back to a subdued Libby. "I need a minute."
Libby leaves with quickly Aiden, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
Great.
