Hey Everybody,

Thanks for the reviews! I'm not going to write too much here at the beginning, so let's just dive right into today's chapter! Oh! But a quick heads up Finnick will not be in this fanfiction, right now I have it the same way as in Mockingjay, as sad as I am to say that Finnick will still be "dead" I will try to keep Annie and Dillan in it enough to make it up. (Haymitch will be appearing in a chapter or two )

"Bye Delly." I am more than ready to leave; the happiness that has filled the room is overflowing. Between Peeta radiating the true meaning of happiness from being in a store filled with baby stuff and Delly being her usual self it's a lot of happiness to be contained in this building; and to make it all worse, it's all being directed towards me. I give Delly a quick hug and pull Peeta out the door; he's carrying at least seven huge bags full of baby clothes. "Peeta what's going to happen if we have a boy?" Peeta's face lights up at this moment, I was hoping that this comment would make him think to take some of this girly crap back into the store, but instead he drops the bags and picks me up and spins me around. What did I say? "See! I told you so Kat.!" "Huh?" "You finally said that she's our baby!" I think back to the last phrase I said, Oh. Dang it! He's right, I did say "if we have a boy"…. I purse my lips and wiggle out of his grasp. "Can we go visit Annie and Dillan now?" "Sure, let's go." There's not a doubt in my mind that the word "we" is racing through Peeta's mind, his face is beaming and while he we walk to the car he has a certain happier bounce in his step while holding my hand until we reach the car.

I listen to Peeta drone on and on about how excited he was for the baby now that I've accepted it as our baby. If you're just now getting excited what were you before? I shake my head and look out the window, it'll be half a day of driving before we reach district four; so I brace myself for what will be a very long car ride. "Katniss, can't you honestly say you're excited for this baby?" "Whatever." "Come on Kat. Aren't you?" "Kinda…I guess." "Kat! You're excited aren't you?" "Peeta Mellark! If you keep pushing me to say something I don't really feel, I just might snap, and jump out of this car!" I undo my braid and run my fingers through my hair and hold it by the roots. Why did I ever want to go all the way to district four? "Katniss, I'm sorry. After what you said I thought you were just as excited as I am." "Well try to remember!" I cross my arms and breathe out as loudly as I can. I look over at Peeta and his eyes are filled with sadness and his hands are gripping the wheel harder than I thought possible.

"Katniss, I have to stop for some gas." I decide not to answer him. Instead when he stops at the pump I march out of the car and head for the convince store. "Look it's the Mockingjay!" My eyes widen, oh right…this isn't district twelve…I'm still big news here in district six. I am mobbed by twenty people, even the employees crowd around. "Mockingjay over here!" "Girl on fire! Can I have an autograph?" "Katniss, when will you and Peeta have a family?" I am cornered, there is no escaping the crowd of people. "Back off everybody! I just wanted some food!" Hands coming from all directions are trying to shove food at me. I start screaming, not only are my hormones raging, but I'm exhausted and just plain out angry. I begin shoving my way through the crowd and head for the bathroom, I have food all over me and somehow the crowd managed to rip my shirt sleeves. I hear a gentle knock at the door, I only crack it for fear of being trampled again. It's an employee, she's handing me a form fitting t-shirt and gives me a small smile. I look at myself in the mirror and decide that this shirt is ruined so I pull on the plain green shirt from the employee; it fits perfect except the baby is very noticeable.

I open the bathroom door and make a run for the exit, thanks to all those cheesy buns I'm not as fast or quiet as I used to be. I barely manage to make it to the car and lock the doors, when several members of the crowd slam against our car, and when the girls spot Peeta, he has no choice but to lock his door as well. I shield by face with my hands and I begin crying, "Peeta!" "It's okay Katniss, I have to get us out of here." He slams on the petal and gets us back on the road to Annie's in minutes. I breathe out a sigh of relief but the tears won't stop running down my face. I try to braid my hair out of my face with my shaky hands, and after a few attempts I succeed. Peeta hasn't uttered a word since we left the gas station. I can tell he wants to say something but at this point I don't really care; so I just lean back into the car seat and fall asleep, I don't want to even see Peeta until we're in district four.

It feels like I just fell asleep, when I feel Peeta cautiously shake my shoulder. "Katniss we're at Annie's. Do you want to sleep a little more?" I open my eyes and stare at his blue ones, the normal happiness I feel is replaced by annoyance. "No. I want to see Annie and Dillan." When Peeta offers me his smile I ignore it and open my car door and excitedly run to meet Annie in the doorway, leaving Peeta at a loss for words and full of abandonment.

"Annie!" "Hey Katniss!" I fall into her arms and almost crush poor little Dillan. "It's so great to finally see you Annie! And this must be Dillan!" "It sure is!" She holds the door open for me, and I walk right in and sit down on the couch beside her. I take a closer look at Dillan, he's a truly beautiful baby boy, he has those stunning green eyes like Finnick had, but he has redish hair coming in much curlier than Finnick's, it much more like Annie's. "Annie, he's so perfect." She laughs a little, "I like to think so, he reminds me so much of Finnick." her eyes turn a little glassy, I try to change the subject from her loss of Finnick, "Can I hold him?" "Of course." I surprise myself by how much I want to hold tiny little Dillan; "Hey buddy, aren't you a little show stopper? All the girls are going to find you very…"distracting" when you're a little older." I try to use my best Finnick seductive voice, Annie laughs, "Thank you Katniss. I needed that. I feel like I linger too much on Finn's death instead of how much I love him." "I miss him too Annie." We exchange smiles of loss and turn our attention back to an adorable Dillan; he has the most striking eyes, he has the absolute cutest laugh. I hold him close to me and wish he were mine, "I love you buddy." I kiss his tiny nose and reluctantly hand him back over to Annie.

"So Katniss; how are things with you and Peeta?" She looks down at my expanded stomach and gives a gentle and innocent laugh. "Ugh, don't bring it up." "What's wrong Katniss, I thought you'd be happy." "Well I'm not!" "Oh. I'm sorry Katniss, I know how you feel." "What do you mean? You and Finnick have a perfect baby together." "Katniss, you don't understand, do you? I found out I was pregnant when Finnick was going into war with you. And while I may have Dillan, now I don't have Finnick. You still have Peeta; and a beautiful baby on the way." Maybe Annie is right. I can't imagine my life without Peeta.

I touch my stomach and this is the moment I realize that I really do want this baby. I do want this baby even if it is a girl. No, I want this baby, no matter what.

"Knock knock knock…Hey Annie. Hi Katniss…." Peeta peers around the corner unsure if he should come in. He knows how hormonal I am right now and he's aware that Annie will always side with me, because she's the only one that knows how being hormonal can feel. I jump to my feet and run over to Peeta and press my lips against his and hope he can feel all the love I have for him, and how sorry I am for being so bitter. His hands trap my face and I smile as I kiss him. "Hurry! Cover your eyes Dillan; this is not for baby eyes!" She can barely choke out her joke between laughs. Her face is turning red, from having such a hard laugh, by the time we both look up she has taken Dillan's chubby baby hands and made him cover his eyes. To me Annie has never looked more beautiful than right now, with Dillan on her lap and her genuine smile showing, it has taken the years of aging that she had gained when Finnick passed away.

Peeta wraps his arm around my waist and I look up at him, "Peeta. I love you. And our baby." Peeta leans down at me questioningly and kisses me one last time. "Hello Annie." She rises to her feet still trying to catch her breath and walks over to give Peeta a hug and congratulates us both on the pregnancy. "Hey if you guys need to talk a little more about the baby, now that Katniss is actually happy about it, you can go down to the beach for a while. Me and Dillan will be here… and maybe you guys can stay the night, when you come back from the beach!" The smile Annie has smothering her face tells me she wants us here, so we accept graciously, and decide to head to the beach.

Me and Peeta climb back into the car and head to the closet beach, it's about fifteen minutes away. "Katniss, you actually want this baby…real or not real?" I turn to face him, "Real, 100% real…" I know I must be smiling larger than I ever have because Peeta's smile is more radiant than I've ever seen it. We both turn our attention back to the front windshield, "PEETA!" all of a sudden a large truck slams into the front of our car. I can feel our car turning onto its side, I also can feel myself being pelted by broken glass, I look around to see Peeta, he is not moving and there is blood all over his forehead, and when I glance at my stomach I see something that absolutely horrifies me and makes me wish I had died in the crash….my stomach is gashed open and bleeding…
