I was so exhausted of all the emotions yesterday that I fell asleep on the couch. Peeta had to bring me upstairs, which I suppose wasn't that easy with his artificial leg. When I woke up the first thing I had to do is jump out of bed and throw up. I almost fell over Peeta's sleeping body to manage to go at the toilet on time. "What? What? What?" Peeta says as he wakes up because of me. I'm still throwing up in the bathroom so I hope he doesn't expect me to answer. He rubs his eyes with his hands and come over at the bathroom to hold my hair. He starts stroking my back not knowing what else he could do to make it all better. When I'm done he hands me over a glass of water that I drink in one gulp. "Thanks." I say to him. "How long is that going to last? The morning sickness?" I ask him, knowing he probably read it somewhere. "Most women only have those during the first semester." Really three months! I'm going to throw up every morning during three months! "But maybe the doctor could give you something for those." He adds. Well if would be fine to know what I can eat without throwing up! I was starving yesterday. "Any idea of what your wife could have for breakfast without throwing it up?" I ask him. "Well, dry food usually helps. Such as salt biscuits. I don't know. You should be able to hold it up if it's what the baby wants." Really? Oh god. "Well why don't you take a shower while I find you something for breakfast?" Peeta says as he helps me up. "Okay. Why not." He takes me in his arms and whisper:"I love you." Into my ears and leave downstairs to make me breakfast.
I open the shower and waters start to flow over me. Usually I feel better after taking a shower, but this time all I can think about is how I'm going to do this. I didn't even notice I was crying till I heard it in my breath. How am I going to do all of this? How can I protect and take care of a little baby! What is going to happen to him! What if the games came back en he ended up in them! How the hell am I going to do all this? I guess I had been crying under the shower for a long time because I heard Peeta walk upstairs. I tried to stop crying but once you start it's not that easy to stop. He knocked on the bathroom door. "Katniss? Breakfast is ready, want to eat it in bed?" I try to answer but I know that if I do he will hear I'm crying. I hear he puts something down and opens the bathroom door. "Oh, Katniss!" He says as he sees I'm crying and he joins me under the shower without even take his pajamas off. He takes me in his arms and I but my head in his chest. "It's all going to be okay. It's going to be fine I promise." He says holding me in his arms. He can't promise everything will be fine. He doesn't even know that for sure. "I'm not going to let anyone hurt you are the baby. It's going to be okay." He whispers. I'm trying to focus on his heartbeat to calm down.
We were sitting in the living room in the couch. Somehow I managed to calm down and we were eating downstairs. Peeta had made some cheese buns for me. And since the bakery wasn't open today he would spend all day with me. "Magnolia said that I should get to the doctor. You know to see if everything is going alright." I told him. I was able to talk about it by now. The fact I cried every single drop out of my body had maybe something to do with it. I was starting to get the idea I was pregnant, but I was still not really okay with the fact that in a few months a little innocent baby would be born and rely on us to protect him, while their already were so much people I wasn't able to protect. "Maybe we could ask your mom? I know she doesn't really work today but I'm sure she could make an exception." I was leaning on Peeta who had his arms around me. "I don't know. Is it a good idea to go to my mom? You know we can't tell anyone about this till three months. And Magnolia already knows about it." Too bad she had to be there, but if she wasn't I won't even know about it yet or just still deny it. "Well who could do a better job than your own mom? You know she the best doctor of this district. And it's not like she is going to tell anyone if we ask her not too." I don't know, maybe he is right. "Maybe we should give her a call without telling her about it first. Just ask her if she could see us today." I ask him. Maybe she would be busy today who knows? "I'm gonna call her right away." He said and took the phone that was next to the couch. His one arm was still around me and he was stroking my hands without even noticing it. "Lilly? It's Peeta here." I remember the day she asked him to call him Lilly, it was the first day she got back in district 12, a lot have change since then. "Yes, everything is fine here. We know it's your day of today, but we wanted to know if we could come over." He said, I guess my mom was saying something but I didn't even try to listen to what she said on the other side of the phone. "You sure? We don't want to bother you." He added. "I can't tell you yet. We'll be there in about 30 minutes. Is it good for you?" I guess she said yes because Peeta hung up with a smile. "She said yes?" I asked him. He was still stroking my hand and I drew some invisible circles on his hand with my finger. "Yes she did. So let's get ready to go."
"You sure it's a good idea?" I ask him one last time when we are walking to my mother's door. "You said it yourself when we left the house honey. It's all gonna be fine." He said and knocked on the door. Our fingers were crossed and it made me feel better. "Good morning kids, come in!" She said as she hugged us. We stepped in and she closed the door behind us. After a little small talk my mom came to the point. "So what is it you need me for?" I looked at Peeta which was sort of a sign to tell him he should say her. "Lilly you have to promise to keep this for you. You cannot tell anyone! We don't want Plutarch to learn about this and use it just like he did with the wedding." I didn't even think about that! I'm still mad at him on the way he used our wedding. He managed to film it somehow and showed the whole world how everything was just love and happiness now. I know he didn't mean bad, but he knows we don't want to be in the spotlight anymore. Don't he even dare using this to put us back in the spotlights! "I won't tell anyone." My mom said. She better doesn't tell anyone, but I know she won't tell anyone about it. "Well we were wondering if you could check on Katniss. We know that the first thing to do when you're pregnant is to go see a doctor." There it was, now my mom new about it. "Katniss is pregnant? You're pregnant!" She ask or told me, I couldn't tell. "The test I took said I was." I say. "And she's having some morning sicknesses." I knew about that! It's a wonder I didn't throw up the cheese bun! "I'm so happy for you guys! I'm gonna be a grandma!" Why is everyone happy about this? And their she took my in her arms again. "We will check out everything right away. Why don't you go to the exam room, I'll come in just a second." Peeta lead me to the room I knew a bit too good for helping my mother out. But what if I wasn't pregnant? What I was just sick? How would Peeta react? What if I can't get pregnant? Omg I'm not going to be able to get pregnant! Peeta won't love me anymore! I'm gonna be left over alone. I guess Peeta noticed I was panicking again. "Shttt. Everything is going to be fine. It's just routine. It's all going to be fine." He said and kissed my forehead. "Keep talking will ya?" I asked him. Hearing his voice helped me little bit. I was still holding his hands and took him in my arms. He closed his arms around me and for just a few seconds I listen to the most beautiful sound in the world, my husband's beating heart.
What do you think, is everything going to be okay? Will Plutarch managed to find out about it?
