1 and ½ months later (Katniss = 8 ½ months pregnant Effie = 6 ½ months pregnant)
"OH GOD, CAN YOU TURN THE HEAT DOWN NOWWW!" I yell to Peeta from the couch. I am currently fanning myself with a magazine to keep the heat down low, with me being so big, even the cool temperatures have felt like the tropics to me. Peeta smiles at me fondly as he turns down the thermostat and walks over to the kitchen. I turn away from him and gaze out of the window, still continuing to fan myself. I get a small shock as I feel Peeta's arm brushing me softly as he hands me a cool glass of homemade (or should I say Peeta made) lemonade. I take it gratefully as I down over half of the lemonade in one sip. As I do, I feel a huge wave of coolness rush through me, which is a humungous relief from the heat of the day.
"Thank you so much hunny, I'm really sorry about the horrible way I have been treating you lately!" I say pulling Peeta's arm so that he kneels beside me on the sofa. I rub my fingers through his smooth, silky blonde hair, and while I do this I feel the immediate rush to want more. Peeta understands and complies, he leans down to me and kisses me tenderly on the lips, I place my other hand inside Peeta's shirt and I caress his chest. One of Peeta's hands lightly brushes my cheek while the other falls protectively over my stomach. As he continues to kiss me I moan lightly and he smiles. Suddenly I get a slight tightening in my lower abdomen, but it just feels like a slight menstrual cramp. Peeta immediately pulls away as I give an uncomfortable moan however just as quickly as it starts it is over. He looks at me worriedly.
"Hunny, are you ok?" He asks placing a hand on my forehead. "Yeah I'm fine. Peeta, you should probably be getting to work shouldn't you, I mean look at the time!" I say glancing up at the clock in the kitchen. Peeta was going to work for much less frequent hours than normal, in preparation for a surprise birth of the baby, however since today is a Monday Peeta will be going to the bakery for a couple of hours to check up on the place.
"Oh shit," he exclaims looking up quickly at the clock. "Now, hunny make sure you don't do anything to straining today! No decorating the nursery and no heavy lifting please. Make sure you do not do anything too stressful, absolutely no worrying without me ok! If there are any problems make sure that you call me if there are any problems. Also remember you are supposed to be going over to Haymitch and Effie's today to help with some of the color schemes so remember no stress ok!" Peeta instructs me as he walks from room to room getting his apron and his keys and anything else he might need. He walks to the door and blows me a quick kiss and whispers, "I love you" before he rushes out the door and into the cold air.
Shortly after my shower (that was extremely careful and slow so as not to distress the baby girl) I heap out the door and waddle over to Haymitch and Effie's. I let myself into the house hastily and am greeted (thankfully) by a very warm house complete with a lighted fireplace.
"Good morning sweetheart, you're looking… huge today!" Haymitch greets me, looking at me up and down and smirking over my huge appearance. "Good to see you too Haymitch!" I say laughing at his face. Just then I notice Effie struggling to get down the stairs. Effie (being just over 6 months pregnant) is also extremely big compared to her normally thin self. "Oh Katniss darling you look beautiful, you make such an amazing pregnant woman!" She says walking over and immediately placing both hands on my baby bump. "You can't really talk Effie, you are also looking extremely radiant while pregnant!" Effie smiles at me and turns around to go and get us some drinks, when suddenly I feel something trickling down my legs.
"Sweetheart I think your water just broke!" Haymitch says standing up and looking around hastily however still uncomfortably. I look down to see that I am standing in a big puddle of water.
