I gasped. "What? Are you serious?"
Peeta shrugged. "That's what she told me. I will leave immediately tonight."
"But, why?" I asked.
"I don't know," he admitted. "I don't know why either. I'm not a fighter like Finnick, Katniss, or the soldiers in Thirteen. I've told her that, but she insisted that she wanted me to go join others."
I thought about it for a while. The President must've known that Peeta is not a fighter nor a pro in using weapons, she could see it clearly in the Hunger Games. Even though he's strong enough to protect Katniss and won, Peeta is no soldier. Then, what makes her wanted Peeta to join so much?
Then, the answer came to me. Peeta was hacked by the Capitol, his mind was not yet normal. In fact, Peeta has almost broken Katniss' neck and addressed her as Capitol's mutt. Was my guessing right, that the President hoped Peeta would kill Katniss?
"I'm sorry, Annie," Peeta's voice stoppped me from thinking. "I have to go now. The plane that will bring me to the Capitol has been waiting."
"Wait, Peeta," I said when he was about to leave. Should I tell him what I thought?
"What's wrong, Annie?"
Ah, maybe it was just my imagination. I sighed. "Nothing. Tell Finnick I miss him, would you?"
"I will," he promised. "Stay safe, Annie."
I nodded and stared as his back got smaller and further.
Earlier than what has been promised, my examinations result got delivered today. I was going to lock my door when somebody knocked.
"Mrs. Odair?" he asked.
"Yes," I answered.
"The doctor told me to send this letter to you, Ma'am," he said while giving me an envelope with my name, Annie Odair on it.
I accepted the envelope confusedly. "I thought he said it would be delivered by morning," I said. "Tell him thanks, would you?"
That man nodded and left. I sighed and locked my door. When I finally sat down on a sofa next to the bed, I was only staring at the envelope. I was hesitated to open it. But finally, I gathered my courage to open it and read what's been written on it.
I re-read it. It's impossible. I looked closely on every word I read, to make sure everything's correct. It's impossible.
I was positively pregnant.
