Peeta and Katniss' first baby

by Just An Ordinary Girl. Maybe

My fourth story for the Hunger Games.How did Katniss react when she and Peeta had their first daughter? Was she happy? Was she terrified? Or was she both?

2. Effie's Baby

I never knew how hard it would be to raise a baby. When Peeta comes home its all fun and games. But by myself it's a nightmare! Prim is always hungry. And her name makes me cry. Why did I ever agree to name my daughter Primrose after my sister Prim? Bad enough I have nightmares but now this? Why did I agree to have this baby? Because you love Peeta. A voice says you loved him enough to name the baby Primrose. Heck you loved him enough to agree to have this baby. I know I love Peeta I say back.

When Prim was sleeping I grabbed the phone and called Effie. I needed someone to talk to, even if it has to be Effie. Effie soon came over at 12:00 sharp. "Hello!" Effie says cheerfully. As Effie sat down I brought the lemonade I made out. "How's little Tiffany?" I ask. "Kicking like crazy." Effie says her hand resting on her stomach. "Effie why did you want to have a baby?" I ask. "I've always been very fond of children. That's one of the reasons I became a escort." Effie says. "But why did you want to have this baby?" I demand. Effie sighs.

"Haymitch wanted one before he became to old." She whispers. "Why did you marry Haymitch?" I ask. Effie looks at me. "Because I love him." She says. Effie groans. "What is it Effie?" I ask. I feel something wet on my feet. I look down. Water? Yes water but from where? "Effie your water broke!" I say then dash to the phone. I call 911 then I quickly tell the person that Effie was having the baby. Then I dial another number. "Peeta come home! Effie is having her baby." I yell into the phone then hang up. I dial another number. "Lynette come here please I need you to baby-sit Prim." I say.

"Ok Mrs. Mellark." Lynette says. Lynette Olsen is 16 and a terrific baby-sitter. Or so I heard. I go to Effie. "It's going to be ok Effie." I say soothingly. The doorbell rings. "Come in!" Lynette comes in. Talk about quick service. "Prim's upstairs first room to the left." I say and Lynette goes upstairs. Peeta crashes through the door with a ambulance person, Paramedics I think they're called, and the paramedics put her on a gurney. "Be back in a few hours Lynette!" I yell then leave with Peeta and the paramedics. I hold Effie's hand. "It's going to be ok." I say, not to comfort Effie but to comfort me. Then as we drive off it dawns on me that I never called Haymitch.

Okay I had decided to make this a chapter-story. Hope you enjoyed this.
