Hehe thank goodness I am a fast typist. In answer to KRK to the JRK, yes, Katniss and Peeta got married, but Katniss is still using her last name. I will clarify that sometime in my story. :3 I might explode from having all of these ideas in me before I get them onto the computer. Well, once again I thank my supporters and wish you all the best of reading!

Gale left and everyone came flooding back into the office. Dr. Longarden checked my pulse and to his relief, it was normal. "That's good. It's down to one-twenty."

Prim crawled onto the bed and wiped my shiny cheeks with a tissue in her hand. "Gale is good for you." She said matter-of-factly.

Well, I guess she was somewhat true, but there was something about what she said that bothered me. I felt almost…guilty. It wasn't as if I was cheating on Peeta or anything, but it felt as though I was channeling his jealousy.

I shrugged casually. "He is my friend. There wasn't anything he said that Peeta couldn't." I didn't know why I had said Peeta instead of "anyone else". Now people are going to be suspicious.

I glanced over at Peeta cautiously. He looked grateful.

"Katniss, I want you not to panic, okay?" the doctor put his hand on my shoulder and attempted to put on a sympathetic look, but it wasn't working for me.

"Right. Not panic." I said sarcastically. "How am I NOT supposed to panic?" MY voice was starting to rise again and Peeta put his arm around me comfortingly.

"I was going to go into further details of your child but I wasn't able to tell you before you started hyperventilating." When I said nothing to this, he continued. "You have seen wolf-mutts, right?"

"Duh."

I could tell the doctor was slowly losing his patience, but he held his frustration in. "Well, they are wolves with man-made human genes. This baby is a mutt, but not in the way you think. It is still half-human, but the other half is—"

"Man-made?" I mocked his tone.

"Well, as you would understand it, yes. Half of this child has been made by the Capitol, and the other half is just a normal baby."

I exhaled. So it wasn't an actual muttation? "So it's… Peeta's?"

The doctor nodded. "Yes."

I felt the breath slowly whistle from my lungs as I slumped back in relief. This was one of the weirdest feelings I have ever had. Relief was definitely in there somewhere, but accompanying it was also some fright and worry. So should I raise a half-man-made baby that looks like Peeta even though there was only one time that makes sense that I'm pregnant? Or should I abort and go on with my life as if nothing ever happened? I grimaced to myself. I am so close to my due-date that I might as well just have the baby and let the doctors kill it instead of aborting. Do I want to have this baby? Am I ready to actually raise a kid even though I am only seventeen?

"Katniss?" Peeta looked at me with a concerned face. I glanced over at him and realized I was crying again.

"I'm all right, it's just…" I found myself rambling excuses, but Peeta put his finger on the side of my chin and shook his head, stopping me from talking.

"It's okay, you know." He said in a gentle voice. "You can do this. I know you can."

Before I could stop myself, I said, "Will you do it with me?" I knew this must be extremely awkward for Mother, Prim, and the doctor, but they just stood on the other side of the room not saying anything.

"Always."

Holy crud that was a short chapter. I was debating with myself if I should make this another half-chapter, but I decided against it. I really like this chapter because you can actually tell that Peeta has given his whole heart to Katniss by agreeing to raise the baby with her. :3 It's so sweet. I try to make my chapters be around 900 words each, but some go into extreme highs and lows. Some are 1,500 words, others (like this one) are only about 700 words. For those, I am sorry. Chapter 35 is about halfway done. I need some input from you fellows. Wait wait wait- I was about to tell you the name I thought up for the baby but I don't know if you guys want me to give that away. If I get three or more people saying they want to know the babies' name before hand, I will tell you. It is the awesomest name ever. Anyways... My next chapter shouldn't take to long to type, so be patient and please reveiw to let me know what you think of the story!
