Okay guys so I've decided to take a totally new direction with this story. As you can see in the new summary. When I first started this I thought oh this is only gonna be a couple cute one shots. Until last night when I came up with this idea and decided to create an actual plot to this story. Anyway I think you guys are going to love it and don't worry there will still be plenty of fluff. This chapter is pretty short and isn't really exciting. I'm sorry it's just one of those filler chapters that has to be here. Enjoy!

Chapter 3 - The Reunion

My hand slipped out of Peeta's so I could sprint forward ahead of him. I didn't believe it could actually be Gale until he was standing right in front of me. I stared up at him. He had the same gray eyes, the same face, even though now it was a little bit scruffier. He'd gotten a lot buffer since I seen him too. He was dressed in the same uniform all the district 13 soldiers wore. So my mother was right. He really is a full time solider now. He grinned.

"Hey Catnip."

I felt Peeta walk up beside me.

"Gale." I said.

"Gale. How are you?" Peeta asked.

Peeta voice was polite but underneath the politeness there was a hint of something else.

"I'm hanging in there. I came back to 13 for a break for awhile. I've been so busy." Gale says.

Unlike Peeta, Gale doesn't try to hide the slight detest in his voice.

"To busy for even a phone call huh?" I mumble.

"Yes, Katniss. I barely even made any phone calls." he says.

I scowl at him. He blinks his gray eyes at me, as he reaches out to touch a burn mark on my neck. Peeta's hand tightens around mine like a vice.

"I'm glad you're okay. And I have to say I've missed that scowl." he whispers.

I give him a smirk and back away from his hand. He quickly drops it and turns around. I don't even want to look at Peeta's face.

"Better come in. Everyone's waiting for you." he says as he opens the door for us.

Peeta gestures for me to go first with a smile.

"Watch your step Mrs. Mellark." he says.

Gales face turns into a scowl. If he never makes phone calls, then that must be no one told him we were married. How is he going to react when he finds out about the child? We step into the door less elevator. The elevator was only a wooden board attached to ropes. just like last time I was here. Beeta must not visit much. If he did this would be the highest Tec elevator I've ever seen.

"They're all in the dinning area waiting for you. They've prepared a big dinner." Gale mumbles.

When we step off into the dinning area I'm slammed into by someone. I realize my mother is hugging me. I close my eyes and hug her back. Her chest starts to spasm like she's going to cry.

"Don't cry." I say firmly.

When we break apart I finally see everyone in the room. Plutarch, Paylor, Annie with a little boy on her lap, Johanna, Beeta, Effie, Flavius, Octavia, Venia, Portia, and a few other faces and soldiers I seen here last time but never spoke too.

"Wow, you'd think you two are famous or something." Johanna says.

I smile.

"I can't believe I've actually missed you Johanna." I say.

The next thing I know Flavius and Octavia are hugging me crying.

"Oh, Katniss! Look at those split ends!" Flavius exclaims.

"What he means to say is we've really missed you." Octavia says.

I laugh and brush a tear off Flavius face.

"Maybe I'll let you guys fix my hair." I say.

I look over and see Portia hugging Peeta. I stare at them and smile until I feel someone touch my shoulder.

"Effie." I whisper.

"Hello, my dear." Effie says in delight.

I feel Peeta kiss the top of my head.

"Great to see you Effie!" he exclaims.

"I always knew you too would make it, I always knew." she says.

While Peeta chatted with Effie I was immediately drawn over to Annie. The little boy on her lap stares at me with wonder. Those sea green eyes staring at me. I felt like I was looking right into the eyes of Finnick. His face looked exactly like his fathers. The only thing he got from Annie was her dark brown hair, which looked striking paired with his eyes. He had to be about three years old now. Annie smiles at me when I kneel down to the boys level. I smile at the boy.

"What's your name?" I ask.

"Gannet." he says softly.

I smile up at Annie.

"What a fitting name." I say.

"It's a bird that lives by the sea." Gannet says.

I looked back down at the small boy. It was so strange how he was able to speak so clearly already. I remember when Prim was little she barely talked until she was five.

"I know that is a lovely name. My name is Katniss."

He smiles his little teeth are as shiny as pearls.

"The mocking jay?" he says.

Annie laughs and kisses the top of his head. He looks up at her.

"That's right. She knew your daddy, baby." she tells him.

The boy looks back at me and I can tell he's going to ask another question when Peeta yells.

"Katniss, come here!"

When I look back at Peeta he's standing alone smiling. I walk over to him and he fits his arm around my waist.

"What is it?" I ask.

He smiles and whispers in my ear.

"I think now's a good time to tell everyone. You know? Before dinner."

I blush and bite me lip. I hate everyone knowing my business all the time. Ever since Peeta and I started living together we finally had peace. No cameras. No interviews. Just our own private life. But everyone was going to find out one way or another. I was going to start showing eventually. Might as well tell them now. I turn around and reluctantly faces everyone. I see Gale staring at me and try not to look at him.

"Everyone, Katniss and I have an announcement." Peeta says.

All eyes are on us. Which is something I hate.

"Katniss and I are married which most of you know. But we are excited to tell you that yesterday we found out she was pregnant."

Everyone cheers and smiles and runs up to hug us.

"Wow I didn't know he had it in him!" Johanna yells.

My eyes meet Gale's. He's still standing in the corner. His expression unreadable. Posy runs up and grabs my leg.

"I hope it's a girl Katniss! I really want another girl to play with!" she exclaims.

I laugh and kiss the top of her head.

"We'll have to wait and see." I tell her.

My mother comes up hugs Peeta and I with tears in her eyes.

"I'm so happy to finally have a grandchild." she says.

"And cut!" I hear Plutarch yell.

And that's when I realize Cressida has been filming the whole time.
