Thank you for the reviews!

Cato POV:

It's been about a month and now it's the quarter quell announcement. Clove is 3 months pregnant, and the morning sickness has subsided, but cravings are coming. Just yesterday she asked me to get her vanilla ice cream with a pickle. And she's also getting mood swings...

(flashback)

"Cato!" screamed Clove. I rushed downstairs because if I ignored her she would either get really mad at me, or sad.

"Yes Clove?" I asked sweetly.

"Where's the chocolate ice cream?" she asked me. My face paled, I just finished it last night.

"I-I thought you didn't like chocolate ice cream?" I said, but it came out more like a question. Usually I'm never scared of anyone, but when pregnant Clove gets mad I feel like she's gonna explode.

"Yeah, but that was yesterday, now I do," she declared, "so where is it?"

"Ummmm, I finished it," I said, better not lie, once I did and I almost got a knife in my chest.

"Cato... go get me some, NOW!" she screamed. I didn't even put on a jacket, I grabbed my wallet and rushed outside. I ran into the grocery store and purchased the ice cream and made it back in expert timing. But when I got there and gave it to her she started wailing.

"Clove are you okay?" I asked, the ice cream incident completely gone from my head.

"No, I'm the worst wife and I'm going to be the worst mother," she cried. I sat next to her and put my fingers under her chin, then I lifted her chin up so she could look at me.

"You are not a horrible wife, you're an amazing one. And don't ever say that you're the worst mother because you're the best mother in the world. Our baby is lucky to have you as a mom," I said. I wiped her tears and kissed her.

Do you see what I mean? One second she could be pissed and the next she could be crying.

"Clove, the quarter quell announcement is up in 5 minutes," I called. She walked in and plopped down next to me. I put my arms around her waist and pulled her in.

"I love you," I said.

"I love you too," she smiled. I ran my hand over her stomach, she wasn't showing yet, but in about a month she would. So much has changed since the games, I mean I went in knowing I liked her, then I knew I loved her when we were the last ones, and now I'm married and going to be a dad. I'm trying to become more of a father-figure for the baby. Clove has changed too, she has become more sweet and sensitive, not the Clove that I first met, but I love her so much more. She is also understanding that she will become a mother and that he decisions reflect on the baby. The tv turns on. What I see see is ridiculous, it's just tons of capitol people with different colors of hair and their weird clothes. Gosh, if I was part of it I might explode.

"Hello Panem," says President Snow. A little boy in red comes up with a box, inside there are cards marked with all the future quarter quells. "This year's games symbolize that even the strongest of people cannot win," I start to process it, what does that mean? Maybe they're sending in double of each district like one year? "This year all previous male and female victors will be reaped," there's a roaring in the crowd, "thank you," he says and he walks off. The screen turns blank. Clove, being smarter than me gets it before I do. She starts crying, and once I get what's happening I start to cry too. She clutches onto me and I hold her back just as tightly, me and Clove have another chance of going back into the games.

"I knew this would happen," Clove says in between sobs, "and it's all my fault."

"What? How could this be you're fault, it's Snow's fault," I say, I'm disgusted that she would even think that I'm blaming her for this or that I think that she did this.

"It's all my fault, I made-I made the decision," she said. I just thought back to that day.

(Flash back)

Boom! Fire Girl died after hours of being ripped apart by wolfs. Lover boy already died by Clove throwing knifes at him until his cannon sounded.

"Clove, we won!" I screamed in victory. I opened up my arms to her and she came running into them. This is the girl that I would die for, I love her.

"I love you," I say brushing the hair out of her face. She looks up at me, shocked at what I just said. We were dating before but we never said those words to each other.

"I-I love you too Cato Ludwig," she said. I kissed her and we waited.

"Maybe we're too close to Fire Girls's body," I suggested. She nodded and hand in hand we walked away from her body near the edge of the trees.

"Why don't they declare us victors?" Clove asked annoyed. I was confused, we won! Why didn't they announce it, why aren't we in the hovercraft going towards the capitol.

"Attention tributes, the previous rule change was been... revoked. There can only be one victor, good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor," announced Seneca Crane the head game maker. Damn him. Clove let go of my hand and walked three steps back, it broke my heart to think that she would think that I would kill her.

"Cato just do it," she said handing me her last knife. I looked at the knife in my hand, actually considering doing it. But I dropped the knife, disgusted that I was even thinking about killing her. Hell, I just declared my love for her!

"No, you kill me," I said, picking the knife up and handing it to her.

"No, I could never do that," she said dropping the knife again.

"And why not? I can't live without you," I said angrily. Why didn't she get that I wanted her to live and be happy.

"Cato don't you get it? I LOVE YOU! And I can't go home knowing that I killed you. I wouldn't be able to sleep, I wouldn't be able to breathe, I would... I have an idea," she said as she whispered her idea in my ear. If the game makers knew her plan they would kill us on the spot. I pulled away, I saw her waiting for me to say no, but instead I just nodded. I took out my knife that was hidden in my shoe and Clove picked up the knife from the ground.

"On three," she said, stronger then ever. I bet that the capitol was on the edge of their seats.

"One," I said, caressing her face.

"Two," she said, running a hand through my hair.

"I love you Clove, no matter what," I whispered.

"Three," we said together. When we were about to slit each other's throats we were stopped.

"Stop!" I heard Seneca Crane yell, "May I present to you the victors of the 74th annual Hunger Games!"

(End of flashback)

"It's not you're fault, if you hadn't made your decision, one or both of us would be dead and we wouldn't have been together," I say, kissing her fingers.

"Yeah, I guess, bu-"

"No buts, it is not you're fault. I love you and everything's gonna be alright," I said.

"Cato, what if one of us gets reaped?" she says as if she were a small child.

"Then the other one of us will do our best to get them out alive," I answer.

"Yes, but there are other victors that will take out place," Clove says, more reassuring herself then me.

"Yeah, there's Enobaria, Brutus, Nico, Amy, and many other people. Don't worry," I say. I look over at Clove and she visibly calmed down.

"Yeah, you're right," she says.

"It's time for bed," I say as I pick her up bridal style and carry her up to our bedroom. I tuck her in and then change into my pajamas and then cuddle with her. When she's sleeping I whisper,

"I promise nothing will happen. I will protect you with my life, you're safe with me."

A lot of flashbacks. I just hope that you guys review this story more.
