Chapter 3

I open my eyes and stretch my legs and my back. I look at Peeta, who is still asleep. How I got someone as wonderful as him as the father of my child I will never know.

I scoot closer to Peeta and kiss him softly on the lips. After a few seconds, he starts kissing me back. The kiss gets bigger and passionate. I started to feel my stomach cramp up.

I pulled away and ran to the bathroom, just making it in time to empty out my stomach of all of the food from yesterday.

Peeta walks in after me and holds my hair back. When I finished, I turned around to Peeta and sat on his lap. I rested my head on his chest and his arms wrapped around me. He started petting my head in a soothing way.

"Thanks, Peeta." I whisper.

"You're welcome. Anything for you." He bent down a little and kissed the top of my head.

"I'm hungry." I said, making him laugh. "What?"

"You just threw up and now you want food?" he raised his eyebrow.

"Yes. Me and the baby are hungry." I said and pulled away from Peeta and stood up.

"Okay, okay. I will go make you breakfast. What do you want?"

"Can you make me cheese buns? I really want one. Or two."

He chuckled. "Okay. Let me go see if anyone else is up." He said and walked out of the room.

I went back over to the bed and laid back down and pulled the covers up. I am cold. Peeta should turn up the heat.

I wonder what the baby is going to look like. Maybe they will have Peeta's eyes and my hair or my eyes and Peeta's hair. Or look just like Peeta. Or just like me. Well, whatever the baby looks like is fine with me. As long as they have Peeta's personality because I don't think I will be able to take care of someone like me.

I'm glad today we have off from school. I really didn't want to go. I would much rather be out with all of my friends.

Just as I was about to grab my phone, its buzzed.

I looked at the screen and unlocked my iPhone. It was a text from Annie.

Annie: Hey Katniss! How was the wedding?

Me: It was okay. Nothing special. Well, I did trip going down the aisle.

Annie: That must have been soo embarrassing! Did anyone see you?

Me: Peeta did.

Annie: Speaking of Peeta, how are you two?

Me: We're good. We have been extra close since the wedding.

Annie: Aw how sweet!

Me: Ya He is so nice to me

Annie: well, that's Peeta for you! Oh before I forget do you and Peeta want to go to the mall with me Delly Gale Johanna Madge and Finnick?

Me: I think it would be fun! I have to ask Peeta first though

Annie: I hope you guys come! It would be so much funner if you guys came!

Me: I think we will bc we have something to tell all of you

Annie: WHAT!?

Me: Not telling until later g2g Peeta is calling me for breakfast!

Annie: Bye meany!

I put my phone on the nightstand and went down stairs and into the kitchen.

"Smells good." I said.

Peeta turned around. "Hey you. They are almost done."

"Okay." I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist and placed my head on his shoulder. "How are we going to afford this baby? I mean, I don't have a job and you work at the bakery, but you don't get paid. How are we going to get diapers and baby food?"

Peeta sighed and turned around and placed his hands on my hips. "We have parents, Kat."

"I just have a feeling they won't be happy with us." I said dropping my head and looking at the floor.

Peeta lifted my chin up lightly. "They aren't going to be jumping up and down and they probably are going to be mad. But they won't turn their backs on us. My dad would never do that."

I snickered. "My mom would."

"Look, I will ask my dad if he could start paying me at the bakery and you could go and find a job. Maybe you could work at the bakery too. That way I could watch you and make sure you are alright and safe." He said bringing his forehead to mine.

"I love you, Peeta." I said looking into his bright blue eyes.

"I love you too." He smiled and we moved our heads a couple inches closer until or lips met.

It started out as a soft peck, but when Peeta pulled away, I went right back in with the feeling of hunger. I put my hands around his neck and started playing with his hair. Peeta put his arms all the way around my waist and pulled me closer so that our bodies we touching.

We stayed like this for what felt like hours before I heard throat clearing from behind us.

We pulled away and looked over. Rye had a look of disgust on his face and little Prim was smiling.

"Get a room!" Rye said and walked over to the table.

"Shut up, Rye." Peeta said turning a little pink.

"You guys are so cute!" Prim said and ran over and gave me a hug.

Peeta chuckled and turned bright red. I probably would have, too if It was just Rye.

Prim pulled away and went over to the table. I turned back towards Peeta and looked at his eyes. "Are the cheese buns done?" Prim asked.

"Who said you were getting any of my cheese buns?" I asked her messing around.

She smiled and put her chin in her hands. "I did."

"I didn't make enough for you." Peeta said and smiled at Prim lightly.

"You better have made some for me." Rye grumbled.

"I can tell you aren't a morning person." I said to him.

He looked up at me. "Yes, I do not like mornings."

I snickered. "At least you won't have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed a crying baby."

"At least I wasn't the one who had sex with my step brother and am now pregnant with his child at 16."

I looked at him with my jaw dropped. "How dare you!" I growl and run to the bathroom crying.

I heard the sound of a hand hitting someone's face and I heard a crack and then Rye yell in pain. Good, he deserves it after what he said to me.

I closed the door and sat on the toilet seat and put my face in my hands.

I heard a knock on the door. "Katniss?" Peeta asked with concern in his voice. "Can I come in?"

"Yes." I crocked and he came into the bathroom.

"I am so sorry for that Katniss. He shouldn't have said that. It isn't your fault you ended up like this. It's mine and I just wanted to say that I am sorry-"I grabbed Peeta's shirt and put my lips on his.

We pulled away for air. "I don't want you to apologize. I want us to be a happy, screwed up couple. This wasn't just your mistake, it was mine too. But really, it isn't a mistake. It's a blessing." I say and hug him.

He put his face in my hair. "It is. Do you want a boy or a girl?"

I pulled away a little bit so I could look into his eyes. "I want a boy. One that looks just like you." I smiled.

He smiled back and tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear. "I want a girl who looks just like you." He said softly.

"I love you so much." I said and hugged him again. "I don't think I would be able to do this without you."

"I love you, too. I can't wait for our baby!" he said excitedly. I laughed and tried to stand up.

Peeta laughed and stood up grabbing my hands. He helped me up and we walked back to the kitchen.

"Peeta! Katniss!" Prim called as we came in.

"What is it little duck?"

"The cheese buns were done so Tyler took them out. He and Rye both took one. I didn't want to take one without you guys taking on first."

"Prim you are so sweet." Peeta said and I walked over to the table and grabbed one of the warm cheese buns. Right away, I took a bite.

"Peeta, these are so good." I said to him.

"They always are." Peeta smiled.

"Not the last time." I replied.

"Okay, the last time didn't count. I didn't hear the timer go off. And I was busy." He smirked.

"Ew!" Prim shrieked and grabbed a cheese bun and left the room.

We both laughed and sat down at the table.

"I texted Annie this morning." I told him.

"Oh, really? Did you tell her?"

"No! I wouldn't do that yet. I want to tell them all at the same time."

Peeta grabbed a cheese bun. "We should do that soon then."

I sighed. "Well, everyone is going to the mall later. Maybe we could tell them then."

"Okay." Peeta replied and we finished our cheese buns in silence.

When we were done, we went up stairs to our room and I grabbed my phone.

Me: Hey guys I am doing group texting. Me and Peeta will go to the mall. We have something important to tell you guys.

Johanna: ok brainless: p

Gale: Sounds good

Annie: r u ok?

Finnick: I'll b there

Madge: Whts up Kat?

Annie: Whtz the matter Katniss?

Delly: If something was really bad she would tell us right now. It obviously can wait!

Cato: I will b there

Me: It can wait dont worry!

Glimmer: Me too what time?

Marvel: How about in an hour?

Me: okay!

Finnick: Sounds good.

Annie: Okk see you later then!

Johanna: Okk I will be there.

Delly: Sounds good to me

Madge: Okay!

Gale: See u guys then!

Cato: Can I invite Clove?

Me: No!

Annie: NOOOO

Gale: no way man

Madge: shes really mean Cato

Cato: okay okay I wont

Me: see you guys later!

I put my phone back on the nightstand. "We are meeting them at the mall in an hour."

Peeta looked over his shoulder. "Okay. Sounds good." I walked over to my new dresser and pull out a purple short sleeve shirt and jean shorts. I put them on and look in the mirror.

"I'm going to be fat soon." I groan.

"Katniss, you aren't going to be fat. You have a growing human being inside of you. I don't ever want to hear you calling yourself fat. And you don't even show yet so your fine."

I sigh. "Okay Peeta. We should go now. The mall is 20 minutes away."

"Alright. Let me go grab my keys." He said and we left the house.

We drove to the mall in silence. I looked out my window and saw all of the trees. I love it here in District 12. It's so beautiful. All of the trees, the animals, and it snows! I love the snow. I don't like the cold though.

When I was younger, me and my father would go out into the woods behind our house and go hunting. My dad didn't have a license, so we did it illegally. We had so much fun. He made us both bows and arrows and we would go and shot white rabbits and squirrels. Ever since he died, I haven't gone into the woods. Our Bows and our arrows are still back there under a fallen oak.

"It's busy today." Peeta said to me.

"Ya, I guess. But it's a mall and there isn't school so there are going to be people here."

"True." Peeta said and he parked the car. We got a space in the middle of the lot so we don't really have to walk too far. I'm thankful for that.

"Are you ready to tell them?" Peeta asks taking my hand.

"As I'll ever be." I replied and we got out of the car and headed toward the entrance.

"Where are we meeting them?" Peeta asked.

"I have no idea. I'll text Annie.

Me: Heyy Annie whr r we meetin?

Annie: near the water fountain in the middle of the mall.

Me: okk see u in a min!

Annie: kk

"We have to go to the fountain at the center of the mall." I told him. He shook his head and we walked to the fountain.

When we get there, we see everyone standing or sitting talking to each other. When they see us, they all come over and hug me and Peeta.

"Katniss!" Annie and Madge shout as they hug me.

"Hey guys!"

"What are you going to tell us? I'm dying to know!" Annie said.

"Here let's all sit over there so we can tell all of you guys at the same time. " I said. The all nodded their heads and we went over to the benches.

"Um, so, we thought you might want to know this. Don't tell anyone else though because our parents don't even know yet."

"What is it?" Johanna asked.

"Katniss is pregnant." Peeta said. Annie practically jumps on me because she is so excited. Glimmer and Madge squeal.

"This is Peeta's baby, right?" Finnick asks. He nods his head. Gale's jaw dropped and Marvel just stares at us. Cato doesn't look surprised at all. And Johanna, well, she seems a little happy too.

"I wasn't surprised. Clove called me and told me, so yah." Cato said. I'm going to kill her.

"What are you going to name it? When did you find out? Does Prim know? When's the due date? Are-"

"Annie, relax. They have a lot to worry about right now." Finnick said and put his arm around her shoulder.

"We will help you with anything you need help with, right guys?" Madge says. They all nod their head and say things like 'of course', and, 'definitely'.

"Can we go get some food? I'm really hungry." I said. All of my friends laugh and we head to the nearest food place.

The only people left to tell are my mom and Peeta's dad. I stuttered at the thought.
