2 months later (Katniss = 4 months pregnant, Effie = 2 months pregnant)
"You have to eat up Katniss, it's a big day today" Peeta tells me as I am handed a huge plate filled to the brim with Pancakes and smothered in Maple Syrup. "Thanks Peeta, it's just an ultrasound remember, I'm not deathly ill!" I say laughing as I begin to eat this amazing breakfast.
Once we finish the enormous breakfast Peeta and I get dressed and ready to go. My bump, being very big at this point, was becoming harder to dress, I have had to start wearing some of Peeta's baggy tops which cover my bump only slightly. We then head over to Haymitch's house in order to pick up Effie and Haymitch, who we had invited to our ultrasound appointment (also because Effie booked her first on this same day).
"Haymitch come on we are late!" I yell as I walk through the door. "I'm right here sweetheart, don't stress, it's Eff that I'm waiting for!" He says as he walks towards us holding a bright orange jacket in his arms. "I hope that isn't for you to wear Haymitch!" Peeta laughs as he gestures to the jacket in Haymitch's arms.
"Oh god, nothing fits me anymore, after these ultrasounds I am going to get a whole new damn wardrobe!" Effie grumbles as she walks towards us. "Well darling, no matter what you wear, you still look perfect to me!" Haymitch soothes as he puts Effie's jacket on for her. "Come on Effie, your not even showing yet! Just wait until you start to look like me, then you will have real problems," I say signaling to my large bump. "Oh Katniss, hunny, you're simply gorgeous pregnant!" Peeta says stroking my back, "Now come on everyone, we have to get going!"
"Alright Katniss, how are you doing?" Doctor George asks me as he lays me back on the table. "I'm doing ok, just getting a hell of a lot bigger!" I say laughing. "Well that of course is normal with a pregnancy. Now lets get you gelled up and ready to go, hopefully today I will be able to tell you the sex of the baby!" I look over excitedly at Peeta who, I can tell, is extremely excited too. Haymitch and Effie sit on chairs on the other side of me holding hands and also looking very eager to find out the sex of my baby.
Doctor George squeezes the saline gel on to my bare stomach and, again, I wince as the coldness hits me. Peeta knows not to be surprised this time and continues to stroke my hand. Doctor George waves the wand around my stomach in a circular motion and the picture pops up on the screen again.
"There we go Katniss, there is your beautiful looking baby." Doctor George says as he points to a (bigger than last time) white oval that is amidst the blackness on the screen. I look over at Peeta, and for the second time, there are tears dribbling down Peeta's face.
"So Katniss, would you like to know the sex of your baby?" I look up at Peeta for guidance as to what he wants to do. He looks down at me with tears still on his face "it's up to you sweety, it depends what you want to do," Peeta says soothingly.
"Oh just do it already Katniss, we are dying to know over here!" Effie yells from the other side of me. I smile and turn back to the doctor "yes please Doctor George!"
"Well Katniss and Peeta, I'm please to tell you that you two are having… a girl!"
I hear a squeal from the other side of the room, and I know that it is Effie is super excited. I turn to see Peeta with (if possible) even more tears cascading down his face. "It's a girl Kat, we are having a gorgeous little girl!" Peeta says as he kisses my forehead. Peeta starts wiping under my eyes and I realize that I have been crying as well. A gorgeous little girl will be in my arms in just 5 months.
"Congratulations sweetheart!" Haymitch says as he comes over with Effie. "Oh my god Katniss, a girl, ooooh we can dress her up and oh my god we can design clothes and everything. Oh my god I am so happy for you Katniss!" Effie squeals as she comes over and hugs me.
"Okay Katniss well why don't we do a swap over and Effie you come up and I will give you your first ultrasound!"
Peeta and I resume Haymitch and Effie's spots on the chairs and Haymitch takes Peeta's spot and holds Effie's hand. Doctor George explains about the saline gel and what it going to happen to Haymitch and Effie and then the gel is squeezed onto Effie's stomach. Effie flinches and Haymitch laughs. The picture pops up on the screen and Doctor George begins to movie the wand around on Effie's stomach.
"Okay Effie, this right here is your uterus and then that little white oval there is your baby!" "Oh my god Eff look, that's our baby," Haymitch says looking up in awe at his baby. I have never seen Haymitch like that; he looks like a proper father. "Oh look at it darling, it's sucking its thumb!" Effie says, and from looking at the screen it's true, the baby really is sucking its thumb!
"Unfortunately I will not be able to tell you the sex today, as it is too early, however I can tell you that everything is in check and there seems to be no complications," Doctor George says happily. "Well that's great Eff, everything is happy and healthy!" Haymitch says excitedly, however when Effie turns away to pull her top back on I see Haymitch hastily wipe away a tear that had fromed on his face. I smile, knowing from that moment that Haymitch will be a great father, after all, he has deserved it with everything that he has gone through.
After Effie's ultrasound we all went out for lunch and then went shopping for some new pink baby clothes, for the new little girl that was soon to be a part of the family.
