6 Months
Clove's POV
#
"I'm about to explode!" I screamed grabbing Cato's hand.
"Maybe but it is way more likely that you're about to break my hand!" he said. "Where's Katniss!"
"That dumb boy is taking too long!" I screamed squeezing the hell out of Cato's hand. "I'm sorry about your hand!"
"I'm here," a timid voice said.
"In the bedroom!" Cato called.
"That doesn't sound like Katniss," I squeezed his hands again.
"Katniss brought me for this, she's hopeless," Prim walked into the room. "Apparently so are you two, pants off the baby has to come out."

Peeta's POV

"So we're just going to wait here?" I asked pacing outside the house. "Shouldn't you go inside Katniss? I mean Cato's your best friend."
"I told him a secret," she whispered.
I looked over not sure how to reply. "Was it a bad secret?" She shook her head no. "So it's a good secret then?" She nodded and I thought her face might split in half. "Are you going to tell me?" She shook her head no again. "Katniss is this because you're still mad about the whole Glimmer thing? Because seriously that was almost 6 months ago, Clove was barely three months pregnant and now she's delivering and-" she kissed me. She cut me off by kissing me.
"I'm not mad, I've had 6 months to get over it. I'm not mad, I'm pregnant," she smiled.
"Oh my God! Oh my God Katniss this is huge!" I scooped her up in my arms and spun her around. Her hair flew around us in it's beautiful wavy strands and her melodious laugh filled the air. I was finally sure that I had Katniss back again. That she would forever be my Katniss. "Have you told anyone else?"
"I told Cato and Gale, but he well, you know."
I hugged Katniss and stroked her hair, she had been hurting a lot since Gale took over about two weeks ago. She felt lonely without him especially since Cato had been staying with Clove more often. It was a little easier on her since we had made up but I didn't hunt well and she felt even more alone when she went with Thresh.
"Well I'm so happy," I said and I kissed her. "I love you so much."
"She's screaming so loud," Katniss whispered. 'It can't hurt that bad right?"
"You've seen babies delivered before."
"Ya but I usually leave, I don't handle blood well and child bearing has blood." I smiled at her, it was funny to see such a strong woman be intimidated by blood.
"I'm sure it hurts a great deal, but I'll be with you the whole time, just like Cato is in there with Clove. Holding your hand, stroking your hair, kissing your forehead."
"I hope I don't scream like that, Clove is tough and she's screaming like Prim when Prim came out."
"I'll assume Prim screamed a lot?" I said setting her down and kissing her forehead.
"You would have though all of District 12 was screaming in unison," she laughed. "She's in there, being all brave and helpful and I'm just out here being useless."
"That's not true," I said brushing some hair from her face. "You're out here being pregnant."
"Katniss! Katniss!" was heard echoing in the woods.
"Gale!" she screamed back. She took off running towards the woods.
"Katniss be careful!" she suddenly seemed about as fragile as a glass doll hanging by a horse hair over a valley of rocks.

Katniss's POV

"Gale!" I called while rushing into the forest looking for him. "Gale where are you?"
"Katniss," he caught my arm as I bounded into him.
"Gale! Where the hell have you been," I slapped his arm.
"I went back to District 12," he said as he held my arms. "But Katniss," his face turned sad and he stared at me in the eyes, "there is no more District 12."
I stared at him unable to comprehend what he just said. "What?" I whispered.
"It's a boy!" Peeta broke through the trees, "they named him Mars."
