So sorry for the wait on this chapter, I didn't really have any ideas on what to do, and now I have strep throat which sucks. Moving on this next chapter takes place a few days after the last one . There will be a huge surprise that I hope you like, and am pretty sure you'll figure it out with the first sentence. I am more sure of where this story is going now. Parts might not make sense but for the sake of the story we'll forget that. ;)

Katniss POV
I sit in the hospital room waiting for the doctor's results, hoping my suspicions are wrong-not because I don't want this but because it's really bad timing. I busy myself by thinking of Prim and Peeta, and surprisingly but still just as sweet and welcomed My mother. I think of my wedding plans as girlish as is might sound, trying to distract myself from what I'm really scared of, as I wait for the doctor to come back with my results. Seconds turn to minutes, and minutes start to feel like hours, and I swear I've been here for 500 years.
After waiting for about five minutes, which entailed of thinking of my family, and a night right before the Quarter Quell where kissing wasn't all we did, the nurse comes back. She looks at me with the slightest hint of disapproval masked by overly fake cheeriness.
"Miss Everdeen, your results are in, and you are about seven weeks pregnant. You haven't really started showing because of how early on in the pregnancy you are and any weight gain was overlooked by other people as getting healthier, with more food"
Pregnant! I can't be pregnant! We're in the middle of a goddamn war! On the other hand I'm excited about having a child. I know I can take care of a child, as I've taken care of Prim since she was seven. But still!
"Now, you do realize that just because it was once and a one night stand, doesn't make pregnancy impossible don't you? Now because you obviously don't know who the father is, since your always with those men we will be either giving the fetus up for adoption or performing an abortion." The nurse says rudely causing my blood to boil. How dare she just assume it was a one night stand, or that I'm such a slut that I slept with Finnick, or
Peeta or Gale!I'm engaged for god's sake!
"Excuse me? This baby was not the result of a one night stand, and of course I KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS WE'RE GETTING MARRIED! I WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE GET AN ABORTION OR PUT THIS CHILD AS YOU FAILED TO CALL IT UP FOR ADOPTION!AND YOU WILL CERTAINLY NEVER COME NEAR ME OR MY FAMILY AGAIN! AND JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT INCLUDES EVERYONE YOU SEE ME INTERACT WITH!" I shout enraged. I've had enough of people calling the shots on other people's lives. I give her one last death glare then storm out of the room Katniss Everdeen style.
Once I've calmed down I realize that I need to tell people that I'm pregnant. I really don't feel like going back to the hospital so I decide on telling them during dinner. Laying comfortably under the blankets in bed in my compartment I dreamily-which is completely unlike me- start to pick out names. For a boy, I like Matthew, Liam, Jayden, Hunter, Zack, Caleb and Tyler. For a girl I like Colleen, Sophie, Willow, Julia, Juliette, Mackenzie and Olivia. I carefully mull over each one and put some of them together.
Julia Willow Mellark? Pretty
Juliette Sophia Mellark? Love it
Colleen Rose Mellark? Different but I like it. I would pronounce it Co-leen, not Caw-leen though.
Hunter Ryan Mellark?Adorable
Jayden Zachary Mellark? Cute.
It's not until Peeta walks through the door that I realize why I can't seem to decide. And It's that all those names I came up with. So I sit up and say
"Hey Peeta come here." Looking concerned he walks over and lays beside me. Making himself comfortable he wraps is arms around me and I mirror his actions. He kisses my forehead then says
"What's up?" Suddenly I don't want to tell him just yet so I ask him a question.
"If you were gonna have kids what names do you like?" He stops playing with my hair for a second to think about it. After a minute he replies
"I love Julia, Willow, Juliette and Sophia for a girl. For a boy Hunter or Jayden. Why?"He says. I look up at him smile and reply
"Because your going to be a dad! I'm six weeks pregnant!" He is completely overjoyed but obviously confused.
"How?"
"The night before the Quarter Quell"I explain. He nods then get's up. Then he pulls me up and spins me around making me laugh.
"We're having a baby! We're having a baby! I'm having a baby with the love of my life!" He shouts. Still being held by him and laughing he kisses me, and I kiss back without hesitation. This moment couldn't have been more perfect.
So we have some babies, rude nurses, and everlark fluff. Sorry for the wait strep throat kills. The next chapter will be her telling her family. I was originally gonna put it in the same chapter but I've made you wait to long and I'm exhausted.
