Two days later (Katnisss = 4 months pregnant Effie = 3 months pregnant)
"Okay Katniss hunny, I'm off, I will be back in a couple of hours!" I hear Peeta calling from the kitchen. "Okay bye Peeta I love you, see you soon!" I call from the bedroom. I hear the door close, and the sadness that I feel once Peeta has gone is unbearable. I have spent so much time with Peeta lately, I am so used to him cuddling me every day and night and talking to the baby all the time. On the few occasions where he has to leave to resume his job at the bakery, the days are intolerable.
After a few minutes of staying in bed, wallowing in my sadness without Peeta, I drag myself out of bed and into the shower. I make sure to wash my bump carefully (it is now very big, I have to make sure that I am very careful with moving it). I then get changed and make sure to put on one of Peeta's favorite tee-shirts (which are about the only tee-shirts that fit me now), it still smells exactly like Peeta, a scent which is my favorite.
The breakfast that Peeta has left for me is especially amazing, my favourite breakfast of homemade pastries and my favorite fruit. I take my breakfast down to the sofa and I am about to pick up the magazine, when I feel a feeling that forces me to drop both plates of food that smash to the ground.
I feel my stomach start to tumble and it felt like there were butterflies flying around in my stomach. My head starts to spin and I have no idea what to do, the first thing I can think of is that I need to be with someone. I open the door and run to the house next door. I burst through the door. Immediately Haymitch runs towards me.
"Sweetheart, whats wrong?" He says straight away. It is at this time I realize that there are tears stained on my face. "The baby…. I felt something…. I don't…. something moved" I stutter through the tears. "Hey, hey, hey come here sweetheart, everything's okay!" Haymitch soothes as he pulls me into his arms and leads me over to the living room. We walk to the sofa and he sits me down. "What's wrong sweetheart?" he asks, more urgently now. "Well, I was about to eat, when… I felt… I felt something… my stomach flipped… the baby Haymitch… there's something wrong. " I stutter as I try to breathe and calm myself down. "Hold on sweetheart and let me get Eff, she will know more about this," he says gesturing to my stomach.
Once Haymitch gets up and leaves to get Effie I immediately place my hands on my stomach. "Please… please be ok, I can't loose you now, I can't loose you now" I say murmuring and stroking my stomach. "Katniss, darling, what's wrong?" Effie says sitting beside me on the sofa and placing her hands over mine on my stomach. I repeat my story to Effie. "Oh Katniss, darling, it sounds like the baby just started moving, let me feel!" Effie says, she places her hands on either side of my stomach and moves them around in a circle formation. My stomach flips again and I jump as the fluttering feeling begins again. Effie smiles, "yes darling, there is nothing to worry about, you are around four months so the baby would have just started moving. You had better get used to this feeling, the baby is going to be moving a lot more from now on! Oh darling, you look terrified, come here hunny!" Effie says as she pulls me into her. As I hear Effie say these words I know that everything will be okay, and immediately I begin to calm down ever so slightly. "Where is Peeta sweetheart?" Haymitch asks from over Effie's shoulder he is standing in the doorway holding the phone waiting to see who to phone. "Bakery," is all I am able to manage before I break down and cry into Effie's shoulder. Haymitch nods understanding and walks out of the room.
After I have finished crying and Effie has finished consoling me she lays me back on the sofa onto a freshly plumped cushion. She then gives me a huge kiss on the forehead and steps back while Haymitch lays a patchwork quilt over me. The last image I see is of the two of them watching me falling asleep, I quickly drift off and dream of the baby, I am now totally aware of inside me.
