Just in time for the weekend!
At first Prim and I thought it was fine, but after ten minutes and Aiden has not stopped spitting up, and I begin to worry. After a bit he developed a cough between episodes.
"Is this normal?" I ask frantically, now with the white stuff all over the front of my jumpsuit. I had already stopped burping him after the first time he spit up, "I didn't even feed him that much."
Prim seems to be stressed as well as she attempts to wipe some of the stuff off my shirt. "I don't think so."
I look at Aiden who is now stressing in my arms. His face is flushed and hot. He hiccups before he spits up again and starts to cry.
"Let me see him." says Prim, reaching over for the squirming creature from my arms. I worriedly hand him over. I look around and notice that many people are staring at us. Babies must be a rare sight in Thirteen.
"Something's not right." says Prim after a long pause. "I think he's sick."
My breath catches in my throat. Aiden can't be sick. "Whats' wrong?" I ask.
"I don't know but I think he needs some medical attention." says Prim professionally.
"But we're in a damn bunker!" I say, panicked, "Where are we going to get a doctor?"
"I think that the bombing has subsided, let me go see if I can get someone." says Prim, and before I can protest, Prim has dashed off with Aiden clutched to her chest. I hadn't noticed that the booms coming from above had stopped.
My sister is usually the calm one, seeing her panicked like this makes me nervous. Something is definitely wrong.
I feel a hand on my shoulder and I look up to see Plutarch. His face seems red and puffy under the dim light of the bunker and his hand is shaking slightly. "Come with me."
. . .
As we walk out of the bunker, I look around to see if I can find Prim or Libby with Aiden, but they seem to have disappeared.
I am momentarily distracted from Aiden when Plutarch leads me into HQ and I see Coin standing in front of a large computer monitor.
"Is Peeta ok?"
Coin pushes a couple of buttons and the monitor goes blank. She turns towards me with a faint smile. "We had eight extra minutes of civilian evacuation due to Peeta's warning, I won't forget that."
I nod, looking at her straight in the face. "Thank you."
Coin turns back to her monitor and the conversation is over.
Plutarch leads me out of HQ and the minute I am alone, I dash towards the elevators and shot straight up towards the hospital.
I hope you enjoyed that chapter, please forgive me for it's shortness but trust me, I am working on making them longer.
Look for another chapter, possibly this weekend. Feel free to give me a review, I find them really helpful. :)
