Chapter 3: Katniss
Peeta and I have our guns loaded as we walk from our car to the headquarters to receive information for our assignment. If it really is an assignment.
"Stick by me okay?" Peeta instructs.
"I wouldn't be doing anything else." I reply and a worried feeling consumes me.
Something bad is going to happen. If I felt something this morning, it's bound to happen.
I stop in my tracks and my hand flies to my stomach. I grimace in pain as a cramp makes itself known.
"Kat? You okay?" I shake my head slowly and look to him as he approaches. "You're not pregnant or anything are you?" Peeta uncomfortably asks me.
"No! No. I'm just nervous, making me feel nauseous." I explain and Peeta nods. Peeta pats my hand resting on my stomach.
"It's going to be okay. I'm going to be right beside you, I always have been haven't I?"
"Yeah." I mumble in response.
"I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you or me, okay?"
"Okay." I whisper and wrap my arms around Peeta in a hug. In the corner of my eyes I see someone, watching us. But I try to ignore it.
"Peeta someone's watching us. Act like I'm pregnant." I mutter.
"Why?" He quizzes, giving me a confused look.
"If they see that I'm 'pregnant', they might not hurt us." I quickly explain and my stomach twists into knots.
It becomes very awkward instantly. What if this actually did happen in the future? That I'd be pregnant with his child?
Peeta wraps his arm around my back as we continue to walk into the headquarters. "I'm scared." I state to Peeta and turn to look at him.
"I'm here. It's okay." Peeta replies as strokes my hip with his finger.
"No, about the baby." I state as we walk through the entrance, our act beginning.
"Coin is going to be really upset when she finds out I'm pregnant Peeta. I'm going to have to stop when I get too big. That means you'll be working." I lie, in this case Coin probably won't get upset.
"Are you sure you want to have this baby? We could get an abortion."
"Peeta!" I cry. "No." I add and let a few tears fall but these are for real. If I was to fall pregnant with him, would he suggest an abortion?
We head down to corridor towards Coins office, people noticing I'm upset. I press my hand against Peeta's as he rests it on my flat stomach. His touch sending tingles up my spine.
We end our act as we approach her office. I wipe my cheeks and take a deep breath. Peeta's hands slip off my body and he knocks on the door.
Peeta and I soon enter. Coin sits at her desk. "I assume you're here for your mission details." Coin starts and I nod.
She slides a file over the desk and Peeta retrieves it. He places it in his bag as Coin begins talking.
"I expect it to be competed. As per usual. Off you go." She beckons us out and we exit, two men coming in directly after us. The door closes and we press our ears to the door.
"Commander, they're expecting a child together." One voice speaks up.
"That gives me more reason to capture them. Torture them together in the cells and make him watch her give birth in ultimate pain!.." I cover my mouth and we walk away quietly.
"Freeze!" Someone says as we walk away and we retrieve our guns. We turn around and point them at the source of the voice. One of our colleagues.
I hear a gun shot and see smoke coming from his gun.
My eyes widen and stomach churns when I hear a voice cry in pain.
