Living

Katniss's POV

#

Why oh why couldn't people just let me sleep? I was a good person I did good things, I tried to provide for everyone. "What?" I said rubbing my eyes and I stepped into the cold night with Gale.

"We need to talk," he said heading into the forest.

"Why can't it wait until morning?"

"Because you never wait for me in the morning you just rush off with that homicidal maniac."

"He's not a homicidal maniac Gale he's my friend," I said rolling my eyes at him.

"No he's someone you got stuck with, I'm your friend. But you sure as hell aren't treating me like it anymore."

"Gale you're still my friend, you'll always be my friend. Cato and I just, we get each other, he's a lot like me. We're both pretty secluded, we both care about one person a lot, we both want kids."

"You don't want kids Katniss, you always told me that."

"No I told you I didn't want kids while I was living in District 12. If you haven't noticed Gale I'm not living in District 12. Now if you're done insulting the people that I care about I'm going to bed."

"You aren't yourself Katniss! That Glimmer girl was more like you than you are!"

I turned around and slapped him, "I am nothing like that whore."

He shook his head as I walked away. I laid back in bed and Peeta turned around and took me into his arms. "I'm still mad at you," I whispered.

"You seem to be more upset with Gale at this point," he whispered into my hair.

"Just because I'm more mad at him doesn't mean that I'm not still mad at you," I hugged his arms to me.

"So why can I hold you?"

"Because I don't want to be alone. I'm tired of being alone."

"I won't leave you alone anymore," he said squeezing me to him.

"Hey Peeta?" I whispered a small smile spreading on my face.

"Yes," he said I could hear the smile in his voice.

"So if Glimmer isn't pregnant does that mean she's just fat?" my smile overtook my face.

He laughed a little and held me tighter, "ya, ya I guess it does."

Clove's POV

#

It was a dream come true, somehow everything that these games were supposed to bring me actually came. I never thought I'd get to enjoy it though. I just figured Cato would notice me and then I'd kill him, or he'd kill me. But instead we ended up together; we were starting a life together. I smiled as I rubbed my stomach which was pretty round, annoyingly. I felt like I couldn't do anything for myself, I couldn't even lay on my side. So instead I laid on my back and rubbed my very full stomach.

I felt Cato turn over next to me, "hey," he whispered softly. "What are you doing awake?"

"Thinking," I whispered.

"Come here," he pulled me into his arms. "Are you happy Clove?"

"Of course I am you idiot," I sat myself up and kissed him. "We'll be the first family here."

"Katniss, Peeta, and their siblings might count," Cato said.

"No they don't they're just an old family no kids or anything though. We're going to be the first family from here." I smiled at him, "what do you want to name the baby?"

"It kind of depends on if it's a boy or a girl."

"Then give me a name for both," I said pulling my shirt up and looking at my exposed pregnant stomach.

He sighed and ran one hand through his hair, "fine, fine. I'm not good at this though. Ok for a boy let's say Mars, for the god of war. And for the girl maybe Divine."

"I like those," I smiled kissing his cheek. "I hope it's a girl though I like Divine a lot more than I like Mars."

Cato chuckled a bit, "you need to sleep. Pregnant people need sleep."

"Pregnant me needs to actually get up and do something," I groaned.

"Well it is the middle of the night and pitch black right now so what we really need to do is sleep. Maybe tomorrow we can find something for you to do?"

"You'd better," I complained as I settled into his arms.
