Ch.6
Oh no.
Did my mom really just walk in on this conversation? Of all the things to catch me doing,why this?
"Pregnant?" She repeated. The words like knifes in my ears.
I look over at Peeta and find him looking shamefully at his feet. Not willing to meet mine or my mother's eye. Honestly,I couldn't blame him. He probably wished this conversation I was having with my mother wasn't pertaining to him so much.
Though I couldn't help but feel a little irritated towards him. He did get me pregnant,he could at least help me break the news to my mom. Or explain exactly what she just walked in on. Or more precisely what conversation she just walked in on.
I don't expect him to be overly attentive or anything,but...
"What's going on?" My mom's voice snaps me out of my mental debate.
She doesn't sound angry. She sounds exasperated maybe? It was hard to tell when hundreds of suggestions and lies were running through my head.
"She's pregnant. I-it's my fault." If my mom wasn't two yards in front of me I may have slapped the back of his head.
My mother folded her arms in disapproval and looked at Peeta and me. Peeta has yet to look up.
"Who knows about this?" Her mouth was in a tight line.
"No one." It was the first time I spoke since she had arrived. My voice sounded rash and a little snappy. She didn't seem fazed in the least.
"Peeta's parents don't know?" She questioned lightly.
"No." Peeta said in a rushed breath. "No they don't. Please don't tell them. I'll tell them. P-please don't tell them." His bright blue eyes luster with fear as he pretty much begs my mom.
She stares at him for a long time than nods. "Your coming with me." She snaps towards me.
"Where?"
"To the hospital for a check up." I could tell I was going to get an earful the whole drive.
"Peeta you may go home now." He shuffles awkwardly for a minute before giving a tight nod and making his way towards the door. He turns to me and mumbles a goodbye. "Mhmmm" I respond.
The car ride wasn't bad. It was horrible.
"When did this happen,huh?"
"At the party." I decided there'd be no reason to say which party considering I'm more than a little anti-social. It was a miracle I excepted Peeta's invitation to Johanna's party. It was the first time I ever really did anything public and now I'm pregnant. Oh the irony.
"Did you even attempt preventing the pregnancy?" She pushed.
"No." I mumble simply.
"No?" She gave a cruel laugh. It was weird hearing my mother be so opinionated about anything. I didn't like it.
She gave a sigh. "I can't believe you'd be so naive." She shook her head in disbelief.
"You can't believe it?" I spit. "You were mentally gone when I hit puberty. I pretty much was on my own! How could you sit here and go on and on and try to be a mom when you left us! You know what I might not be an amazing mother to this baby,but I sure as hell will be better than you!" My jaw clenched.
She swallowed hard. "I'm going to blame that on your hormones." It took everything I had to not call her a bitch.
When we left the doctors it was late in the evening. My mother had said nothing the whole appointment. Probably because her fellow nurses and doctors were the ones who were more or less interrogating me and she was to embarrassed that her teenage daughter was knocked up. It was fine with me.
I didn't learn anything different from what I already knew about my pregnancy. The baby was about three months along like I had told Peeta and it was healthy. Other than that nothing happened.
Except for hearing the babies heart beat which I could honestly say was not that exciting. I honestly thought it would be more climatic,but no it was just a 'whoosh,whoosh,whoosh.' Nothing exciting to me. I couldn't understand why in the movies the mothers always cried tears of joy. Maybe it was because I didn't want it. 'It.' Great now I wasn't even thinking of the baby as a human. Maybe what I said in the car was wrong,maybe I wouldn't be better than my mom was...
"You're home!" Prim yelled excitedly. Her thin pale arms wrapping around my barely imploding stomach. I always showed affection toward her so I was used to it,still it bothered me. I loved Prim more than anyone,but I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she was so close to my stomach.
Never the less I gave her a hint of a smirk and hugged her back.
"Why were you at the doctors? Mom wouldn't tell me." I look over at my mom with a questioning look. She only shrugs and walks off. I eyed her suspiciously as she walked away.
"Don't worry about it." I give a fake smile. Gently,I brush the hair from her eyes so I could look into her baby blues. I secretly wondered if my baby would have them. "I'm healthy and that's all that matters." This seems to make her happy so not long after she's running off.
As I walk to my room fatigue over takes me. My head barely hits the pillow before my eyes close. Subconsciously,I place my hand on my stomach.
When I realise where my hand had wondered I hastily move it away. I couldn't make a habit out of it. It would be to noticable when I went to school tomorrow.
Oh shit.
School.
Add that to the list of things I forgot. Number one condom,number two the dishes,and number three school.
I wake up to the sound of Prim running up and down the hall. When I do get up and go to school I make sure to wear a sweat shirt. There was no need for anyone to find out about the baby yet.
The day went by slow and tedious. It was lunch time now and I was glaring at the detention slip in my hand. My Literature teacher had called me a 'belligerent young lady' and had handed me the slip. I groan,I should have held my tongue. My glare intensifies,I was starting to make a habit of that.
"You know if you glare at that paper any harder you might hurt yourself."
I jump at the voice and look up at Peeta Mellark.
The universe just wont give me a break.
