Chapter 7

Katniss

I woke up the next morning feeling sick to my stomach, I felt like I was going to throw up so I sat up and held my stomach, it felt hard…

I saw Rue was awake and decided to ask her to help me walk a little away camp, just in case I do throw up.

"Can you help me Rue?"

"Of corse! With what?"

"I think I'm going to be sick can you help me walk a little away from camp so it doesn't stink or anything?"

"Yeah, come on." She gently replied, I didn't know what to think, My mother would take care of women back home who had similar problems, but they were always pregnant…

"Oh my god Rue!"

"What?"

"I…I think…I might be…pregnant."

Her jaw practically dropped to the forest floor.

"W-What?"

I just slide down a tree, with my knees to my chest, I didn't know what to do,

If I was pregnant that means it's Cato's baby.

Cato

I woke up to the most horrible sight-Katniss was gone and so was little Rue!

"Katniss!" I waited for a reply but I didn't hear anything, and on top of her not here, loverboy woke up.

"What's going on?" He mumbled.

"Katniss she's gone and so is Rue!"

"What!"

"KATNISS! RUE!" I screamed, not worrying about other tributes right now.

"We're over here!" I heard Rue's little voice call out from the woods.

I grabbed my sword and ran, trying to figure out where the voice came from, then I saw her on the ground sobbing her eyes out and holding her stomach.

"What's going on Katniss?" I gently asked as I walked towards her and kneeled down in front of her, while loverboy got to sit next to her and comfort her, I was growing more and more furious with him, specially because she collapsed into his arms. Those should be my arms, I should be able to hold her, not him.

"Katniss…?" Peeta asked curiously.

"No this can't be happening!" she replied between sobs, just as she said this a little white parachute came floating down and landed between all of us, I picked it up and opened the little box before I saw what was in it, i read the message,

"Good Luck Sweetheart -H"

I didn't understand until I opened the box, Inside was a pregnancy test, I dropped it and stepped back, What was going on!

Then I remembered-We never used a condom…

"What is it?" Katniss asked

"Katniss are you pregnant…?" I asked her,

She immediately started crying her eyes out again,

Peeta was speechless, Rue was trying to comfort Katniss who was balling, and I was just standing there dumbfounded, how could I be so stupid, now not only do I have to protect the only girl I love, but now I have to protect my child.

"Katniss… Is it true?" Peeta finally asked

She shook her head and said Probably and picked up the pregnancy test and walked behind a tree, we all stood there staring at it when she was done.

There it was, the last thing I wanted to see, it was a little plus sign.
