I was quite devastated.

What would happen if my baby died? I sound so selfish. I don't plan on getting out of this arena alive, but I also can't willingly let this baby die. My baby die. And neither will Peeta. Now he's an obstacle I'll have to look out for..

I hear him sniffling behind me, so I turn around and find that his face is red and puffy. He's obviously been crying. "Oh, Peeta," I say sadly, moving over to him. "Please, don't cry. We don't know for sure about- about the.. the baby." I can't let him know I'm going to do all I can to make him win the Quarter Quell. I just know he would somehow talk me out of it, into making me see sense into having me be the winner. No, it's best if he doesn't know.

Peeta looks up at me, sniffs one more time, and crushes me to him. "I w-will do everything I c-can to get y-you and our baby out of h-here." he says softly and desperately into my ear, hiccuping profusely.

A wave of guilt and misery washes over me, because he doesn't know about me and Haymitch's plan. So I say nothing and let him hold me. That was our little peace for the Games. Now it's time to kick arse.

I pull away from Peeta with a determined look in my eye. "Come on. I'm sick of playing the oh-so distressed pregnant teenager. We have to get through this, and we will."

If I'm going to get Peeta to win these Games, I can't have an allies.

Peeta looks at me adoringly, but I continue to stare at him in my determined state, so he does the same. "I'm ready." he says.

I smirk, take his hand, and tell Mags and Finnick that we're flying solo.

"Why, Katniss? It's not safe." Finnick says, and I almost believed the concern in his voice. Then I remembered we're in the Games.

"It doesn't matter. We're all here for a reason."

And with that, I left with my my bow and arrow safely on my shoulder, and Peeta's hand in my own.

I'm not afraid anymore. Let the Tributes come. I'll be ready.

A/N: Ugh, super short. And I apologise. But I needed to get something in there to seperate Katniss and Peeta from Finnick and Mags. You'll see later!
