A/N: I TOLD YOU ALL TO CHECK THE STATUS OF THE STORY! DID YOU ALL REALLY THINK I WOULD JUST END THE STORY LIKE THAT! KATNISS IS PREGNANT AND ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH! HELLO! NOT THE CRULE!
Chapter 27: District Forteen
(EFFIE POV)
"Hold on, we have to make it seem like we're going back. They fell for the decoy plan! We're safe. Just hold on, don't let go, and stay buckled," we heard over the intercom, which I didn't even know was on the hovercrafts.
We were where the others started to descend, and went higher. Increasing our speed, we soared over The Capital. We made it to water and I wondered where we were going.
"We've been making rounds out here to see if there was a good place to hide you guys while we rallied the other districts," we heard again. "We found a spot. It's inhabited by people. Don't worry though, you're all safe. They won't hurt you. You'll be praised. This will be broadcasted around the world. Three hovercrafts down. Sixty tributes gone. The games are cancelled this year, but you all are alive!"
Right as we landed, there was a loud cry.
(KATNISS POV)
There was a loud cry. It happened. I had just given birth to my little bundle of joy. I already had the perfect names picked out for either gender.
"It's a boy," Cato said smiling. "Do you have a name picked out for him?"
"I do, it's," I started before getting cut off.
"Welcome to District Fourteen," The pilot said opening the hatch.
"District what," I asked looking at the pilot.
"Fourteen," The pilot said. "Snow brought them here, but none of them know why. They're literally on their own. They get a couple things brought, but not much."
"Kat," Cato said getting my attention. "His name? The doctor wants to know."
"Oh," I said looking back at him, smiling. "It's-"
"AHH," Someone yelled.
(PEETA POV)
A hovercraft landed. Someone died that they couldn't get to. Now was our chance. I took Clove's hand and ran for it. We had to do something. Katniss was just killed. We had to avenge her somehow!
"AHH," I yelled as I ran onto the hovercraft.
"SHH," I heard, shutting me up.
(KATNISS POV)
"Peeta Mellark you idiot, you," I said stopping mid sentence. "Peeta!"
Cato held our son, the doctor helped get me untied, Prim helped me up, and I ran to him. He was dead. I saw him die! He couldn't be alive!
"How are you alive," he asked while hugging me. "I saw all three hovercrafts go down!"
"The third was a decoy," I said crying. "How are you alive! You died! I saw you!"
"Snow had us fixed up, brought back to live, and dumped here," he said. "Clove's the only one I've been able to connect with seeing as she's had to see Cato with someone else."
"Clove's here," I asked pulling away from him.
(CATO POV)
"Clove's here," I said at the same time as Kat.
"Hi," she said looking at me from the entrance of the hovercraft.
"CLOVE," I yelled running over to her, but stopping right before hugging her.
"You're baby's beautiful," She said looking at him. "What's it's name?"
"Someone, Kat, hasn't given him is name yet," I said looking at her.
(KATNISS POV)
"I don't know now," I walking over and taking our son. "I was going to name him after a long lost dead friend, but long lost dead friend is alive."
"How about Milo," Clove said looking at me. "That is if you want."
"I like that name," I smiled at her. "Milo. That's you."
(CLOVE POV)
I smiled at Katniss and Milo. Milo had Cato's eyes. He was so cute. Maybe she would let me. Maybe not, but maybe.
"Um... Katniss," I said wearily. "Can... Can I hold him?"
"Let's first get off this hovercraft," She smiled. "Then yes, you can hold him."
"You guys don't have a place to live," I said realizing the obvious. "After the reapings, a lot of people lost it and killed themselves. It's been hard enough for them to watch twelve year olds get picked, but three eight year olds, a nine year old, two ten year olds and four eleven year olds was too much for most of us to take. We've been going through and cleaning out houses since it happened."
"We can help," someone behind Katniss said. "We can all help and take turns watching Milo, though Catnip will probably want to keep him at her side."
(GALE POV)
"Clove, this is Gale," Kat said taking a step to the side.
"It's nice to meet you Clove," I said shaking her hand. "Just tell me where to go and I'll help right now."
She blushed and I smiled. Leading me off the hovercraft, we walked over to a house not far away.
"This is where Peeta and I left off," She said not looking at me. "Everything was made from the island, except the cloth. We came with the clothes we had on, and were given two more outfits. As people passed, we would strip them down, if we got to them first, and bring all their clothes to the cloth hut. From there we can get new clothes. Everything goes outside in two piles, one pile for clothes, the other for everything else. Peeta and I are in the clean out crew, while mostly everyone else is in either the pick up or redistribution crews. We'll go get you registered for your crew later. There will be lots of openings for every position."
(PEETA POV)
"We should go to the Hall Of Records and get you all a house and registered for crews," I said leading everyone off the hovercraft. "There are three crews, clean out, pick up and redistribution. The clean out crew goes though houses and clear everything out, pick up crews pick up everything that was cleaned out of the house, and redistribution goes through what the pick up crews bring and send it to the correct place. There's a cloth hut, where you can go get clothes, and a furniture hut, where you get and exchange your furniture. Any cloth goes to the cloth hut, even cloth on furniture. Besides the crew, we have jobs around the island. Gathering, hunting, and baking are the most needed. There's a daycare, where children stay until they're old enough to help around the island. Most stay until age ten, but there are a few who leave earlier. In the daycare, we teach children everything we can about how to do things on the island. I know I'm going kind of fast, but the person who used to welcome newcomers took him life with most of the others. The most recent lives lost were after the reapings. You can get almost any job you'd like here. There's no money, only trust. We all trust each other. There's a force field around the island so you can't leave, but you can go in the water up to three feet deep. Life will be hard here at first, but it gets easier. The only way to get in or out is the hovercraft... Each house is numbered... Uh... Anything else you want to know should be asked to the Hall Of Records."
"Who are these wonderful people," Chris asked.
"They're the FORTH hovercraft," I smiled. "The third was a decoy. They all need homes, crews, and jobs. We need about twelve houses, Chris."
(KATNISS POV)
This was all happening so fast. I JUST gave birth and I was going to have to work? What about compensation or letting me rest for a few days!
"What is the age of the youngest new resident," Chris asked.
"The minute we landed," I said looking at Milo. "So about twenty minutes."
"We'll have to get you baby supplies," He said looking at me. "The biggest house is for a family of five, which is number seven. We'll need to get you beds and furniture. Peeta will show you guys home and bring you to get clothes and furniture."
I nodded, but internally sighed. I wanted to be with Peeta, but I was married to Cato and we had a child together. I fought for months to get over him. When Cato suggested we sleep together the night after we got married, I said yes as soon as he suggested it because it would get him out of my heart, which was now breaking.
