I arrive home, all evidence of tears erased from my face, and I prepare to behave normally.
"Katniss! Perfect timing. Come get some dinner. I fried the squirrels and the turkey is roasted. You'll love it!" And I think I will until I smell the garlic.I feel nauseous and i run to the bathroom where I quickly empty the diminished contents of my stomach. I hear Peeta walk in behind me.
"What was that?"He exclaims. I'm not ready to tell him about the baby.
" I guess that headache I had earlier got worse.I feel awful."As if to prove my point, i start retching again.
" You should go to bed, honey."says Peeta as he pulls me from the floor. He looks disappointed,but no suspicious, which means my secret is safe.

It's March 13,and my mother's train is due any minute. I'm nervous since I haven't seen her in so long, but I think she'll be happy to see me so I train station is mostly empty, since this is an early train. I stand on the cold concrete platform and fidget to keep warm. I hear some distant clunking, accompanied by lights, and the train arrives, screeching to a halt. I scan the crowd and locate my mother down the platform, where I rush to greet her.
"Mom! It's so good to see you." We embrace.
"I missed you so much, Katniss!" I step away, and we walk away from the train station.
"So, I've already found you a lovely apartment, right near the hospital. Annie and Johanna are coming to stay at our house." I tell her as we approach the road to town.
The apartment is small, but cozy, and has lots of windows. It's also near the bakery so I can easily visit Peeta and my mother in one trip. Once she is settled, I leave my mom to get some bread for her.
" Katniss! Did your mom arrive alright?" He kisses me quickly.
" Yes, yes. I just wanted to get her some bread, to help her settle." Peeta collects a pie a and a loaf of bread, fresh and warm, since the bakery hasn't even opened yet.I head out again.

The bright morning sun hits my skin, and I stretch pleasantly in the soft sheets of my bed, until I am hit with a wave of nausea.I run to the bathroom, but nothing comes up because I haven't been eating much..I rinse my mouth anyway and stumble down the stairs to the kitchen because I know I should eat something. I thought the morning sickness would settle down after a few weeks, but it hasn't, and Peeta is getting suspicious. I make myself some tea and consider my options.I can tell Peeta when he gets home;I can wait until he notices and then explain;or, I can drop hints until he figures it out.I feel like a coward, but I don't want to disappoint him if something happens to the only thing i can do right now is go hunting, so I collect my boots and jacket, hoping that the forest will make me feel better.
When I arrive home, Peeta is decorating tiny yellow cupcakes with marzipan ducks on them.
"What's with the ducks?"
"Katniss. I didn't hear you come cupcakes are actually for a baby shower. The Croftons had a baby boy and they ordered these cupcakes for the baby shower." I have no idea who the Croftons are but this seem like a good opportunity to tell Peeta.
"What kind of cake should we have at our baby shower?"He looks perplexed.I can't believe he isn't getting this.I give him an exasperated look.
"For our baby shower, smart we have a baby at the end of the year!"He seems concerned.
"But, Katniss, didn't you say we weren't having children? Is this ok? Oh, god, I'm sorry..."
This isn't the reaction I wanted, not at all.
"It's fine, Peeta. I want is ok." When he smiles and kisses me, I feel like a weight has been lifted.
