Chapter 9

**Star's POV**

"You do know that you are going to have to talk to him," Kota said.

"I haven't for 2 months and we even live in the same house," I said making the guys groan.

We were all at daddy's lying on the porch; daddy was out tending to the fields. The guys asked if he needed help, but he said he didn't need any today. Since the guys are no longer eligible for the Hunger Games they have to go out and get jobs. The only jobs in District 9 are farm hands and my daddy hired them all.

I am very pregnant and you can see it now since I'm 5 months. Another 4 months and I'll be having the baby at the same time as the reaping. And yes Cato and I haven't spoken to each other, since he said what he did. Marvel hates that he's the middle man and the communication between Cato and I. Speaking of Marvel he's leaning on one of the beams that holds the roof over the porch.

"Star you're having his baby, you really need to talk to him," Tiger said as I shook my head.

"If he thinks the games are more important than we are, then he go can go screw himself."

"He's obviously already done you," Night said, before I chucked the glass I was drinking out at him. Luckily he moved, before he hit it and busted into a million pieces.

"Was that really necessary?" Hype asked raising an eyebrow.

"It felt necessary." I muttered as Kota and Marvel moved to clean up the glass.

"So we know you didn't come here to bitch, so what's the verdict?" Munch asked.

"It's a boy," I said smiling.

The all shouted in happiness, before hugging me. Kota abandoned Marvel to hug I laughed.

"We're going to have a nephew to turn into a hellion," Hype cheered.

"He's her child, he's already a hellion," Night laughed as I punched his arm.

"So where is Cato?" Kota asked as we all went back to sitting, after Kota finished cleaning the glass up.

"In District 2, he wanted to stay and see his parents for a little bit," I said.

"That's the message I was given to give to her," Marvel said sitting beside me.

"Ohh," they all said understanding.

Daddy came back a few minutes later and I went in with him to start dinner. All of us sat and had dinner, before dispersing and going home. Daddy won't let me walk home anymore, so he drove Marvel and I home. I sighed looking at the big house; it's just not home to me.

"You've been very quiet tonight," I said sitting on the couch and turning the TV on.

"Yeah, not much to say though," he shrugged sitting beside me. "So when are you going to talk to him?"

"When he apologizes and says he was wrong. He's too proud, he'll never admit, so at this rate never," I sighed sitting back stupid Capitol programming.

I was lifted off the couch and on to Marvel's lap. He wrapped his arms around me and laid his head on my shoulder.

"He doesn't know what he's missing," he laughed kissing my cheek. "I love you."

"I know," I sighed, knowing I can't say it back.

"I'll always be here, no matter what he does or says," he muttered in my ear, before kissing my neck.

"Even if we are not speaking, Cato will be pissed if you leave a mark," I said looking at him.

He looked up at me, his hazel eyes shining with mischief.

"Ohh I know I'm not, dying the first time sucked, I don't want a repeat so soon."

I looked at him and he leaned in kissing my lips. I closed my eyes and kissed him back. His tongue found its way into my mouth as we tasted each other.

"We have to stop doing that," I said panting.

"Well I don't want to and I don't think you do either," he said making me shake my head.

"I really do wish this was my baby," he said rubbing my stomach.

"I know you do, but he's Cato's son."

"Sadly I know."

I woke up the next morning lying in Marvel's chest, he was still asleep. I've been sleeping in the same room with Marvel since everything happened. I got up and went to my room to change clothes. Keans keeps bringing me clothes, because I keep getting bigger and can't fit in my old ones. I heard pounding on the front door and went down to get it. I opened the door and Keans ran in and slammed the door closed.

"Do I even want to know?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"The reporters found out that you found out that you were having a boy and are on their way to interview the happy couple," Keans said panting.

"Cato's in District 2 and you know all of the shit that's going on," I said as Marvel ran down stairs.

"And that's why I'm here, because I know that you and marvelous Marvel are buddy, buddy," he said looking over at the shirtless Marvel.

I could feel my face heating up like Marvel's was. Keans went over and put a watch looking thing on Marvel's wrist. After Keans pushed a few buttons it was Cato standing there.

"Uhh," was all that came out of my mouth.

"What the-," Marvel said he even sounded like Cato.

"I've been tinkering with this since you two started fighting. You and Cato are hard headed and I figured you two wouldn't speak until the baby's coming. So I made this for one of these occasions. We just have to tell Cato not to leave his house till everything lines up," Keans said.

"I'm on it," Marvel said taking the watch off.

**Cato's POV**

The phone started ringing waking me up. I rolled out of bed and went down to get it. It was barely 7, so I knew it had to be Star. We haven't spoken to each other in 2 months, I hope nothing's wrong.

"Hello," I answered.

"Did you just wake up?" Marvel asked laughing. It would be him.

"Yeah, what's up? Is something wrong?" I asked.

"No, reporters are here and Keans has an invention to make me look and sound like you, so I was calling to tell you to not be in public view," he said.

"Don't get too friendly with her," I said, of course I'm angry who wouldn't be.

"And why shouldn't I, it's not like you're holding her every night," he said, before the line went dead.

He's going to die…twice.
