To one of my unnamed fans- thank you soo much for the name Oliver! It is so cute and I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier. :3 I love it! I know some of you don't really like the name. It is 100% unique, but that isn't really always a good thing. I will think about it some more and consult in my sister. Don't worry. We still have (at least) sixteen more chapters, right? There is plenty of time to get a name everybody likes! Although, I would have to agree with you guys. It is kind of unfair to make the babies name Everdeen instead of Mellark. :3 I will get that changed. :D …..Drum roll, please! Here is Chapter 38! (Oh yeah, and if you guys could pretend Katniss came out of the doctor's appointment around dinner, that would be awesome, because I sort of timed things wrong. Thanks)

Peeta was there in the waiting room, hanging around until I came out.

"Hey, Peeta." I said when he took my hand and we headed out.

"Did your appointment go all right?"

I shrugged. "Same as ever. They put me in an uncomfortable gown, shove a needle into me and Dr. Longarden takes an hour telling me a whole bunch of stuff."

"'A whole bunch of stuff'?" Peeta raised his eyebrows at me.

I let out a gusty sigh. "Nothing too important. Just stuff like… timing."

"You are being very mysterious. What do you mean 'timing'?"

He was starting to get under my skin. "He just said that it is possible for the baby to be born any day! Happy now?"

"Why is that so horrifying?" We were so distracted while walking, Peeta accidentally led us down the wrong hallway, but I didn't say anything. Maybe we would run into something interesting.

I turned my head towards him and snapped, "What if I had the baby tomorrow, huh? Wouldn't that just be super? What is not horrifying about that thought?"

He ignored my question. "How is it possible that you could have it any day? You are due in sixteen days."

"Even on regular women could be a month in either direction. Month early or a month later. Sixteen days is less than a month!" I grabbed onto a fistful of my hair in agitation. Peeta had no idea what it felt like to be me.

He frowned sympathetically and wrapped his arms around me. "That's okay. Let's go somewhere new today to get your mind off of things."

I gritted my teeth. "I can't just run away from things that are going to happen!"

"We aren't running away!" Peeta said indignantly. "We are going to go and have some fun for a change."

I tried not to explode into another rage so I nodded my head soundlessly.

Peeta looked uneasy at my speedy answer. "So… where are we going to go?"

"How about this one?" I reached behind me and stiffly shoved open the door my back was facing without even knowing what was inside.

Peeta peeked over my head and frowned. "I don't think pregnant women should go bowling, no offense, Katniss."

I looked over my shoulder as well. Sure enough, there was a small, not very well-made bowling alley that looked like it had seen its best day fifty years ago.

"What the heck is a bowling alley doing in a secret underground district?" I snorted in disgust and slammed the door closed again.

"Apparently these types of people like their entertainment." Peeta said sarcastically, and reached up to wipe an inch of dust from the tiny metal sign above the door that read 'bowling alley'.

"If this part of 13 is for entertainment…" I wiped off another metal sign adjacent to the room I just opened. It read 'miniature golf'. "I am starting to get disgusted by district thirteen. There are plenty more important things to think about than bowling and miniature golf."

"Like a workout room?" Peeta pointed to a door a little away from the others.

"A workout room? That is a little less unnecessary than miniature golf, but seriously?" I forced open the rusty door and sneezed as a billow of dust plumed out from behind the door. Inside, all of the machines were strung with cobwebs and many of them were broken.

I shivered and went back out; Peeta closed the door behind us.

"All of this stuff seems like it hasn't been used in years." I ran my finger along the slightly chipped cement wall.

We stopped at another door and Peeta reached up to uncover the metal sign above this one. For a moment I couldn't read it, but as he rubbed harder, I could make out the little black words 'astronomy lab'.

"Hmm." Peeta frowned and shoved against the door with all his strength. With a shower of rust, it creaked open and we stumbled inside. What we saw amazed me.

The room was about 20 feet by 24 feet, and was only about seven feet tall. In one corner of the lab was a horribly dusty telescope, aimed up at the ceiling. I looked up and gasped. The ceiling was made of solid glass and opened to the heavens. Even through the layer of dust, every minute star scattering the dusk sky was visible, and through the pink haze of the setting sun, I could see the crescent moon, slightly blurred.

"Whoa." Peeta had his head tilted up too and his blue eyes were fastened on the sky.

"Yeah, that pretty much sums it up." I gaped at the room around me. It was hard to imagine nobody had used this room in forever. It was so surreal, and I had a hard time imagining what it would look like all cleaned up and like new. Then I had an idea. "Hey, Peeta?"

He turned his head towards me. "Hm?"

"We should clean this place up. Maybe sleep in here tonight." I stretched my hand up and ran it along the glass on the ceiling, leaving clear streaks of glass visible.

Peeta's face lit up and I could immediately tell he loved the idea. "Sure! Come on…" he laced his fingers with mine and we half walked-half jogged across the room and out the door.

Originally this chapter was like three times as long, but I decided to cut it to here so it would be spread out to more chapters. Though, I think it is a perfect length, personally. Here is your homework: Tell me if you want the chapters longer or shorter or just right. The average length of chapters now is 1,000 words, so just let me know if it is too long or too short, okay? :D have an amazing day!
