Hi all, this is a continuation of the hunger games book two-catching fire. The twist is that in this story, Katniss is really pregnant. And instead of only one boy and girl victor from each district, all living victors except for 1(to mentor) have to take part in the games.

This takes Caesar aback. "Surely even a brief time is better than no time?" "Maybe I'd think that too, Caesar, "says Peeta bitterly, "If it weren't for the baby." There. He's done it again. Found a way to make me desirable, to make the audience remember me, forever. I am pregnant.

But he doesn't know, he can't. He has barely spoken to me for over 4 months, he wouldn't know. But the truth is, it's true. I really am pregnant. It's not another strategy to ensure my survival in the games, maybe to Peeta it is, but not to me. When Prim told me about the baby, I couldn't believe my ears. But the signs were there, the morning sickness, the constant exhaustion. We had only spent one night together; it was before the Quarter Quell announcement. The next day I had told him to leave me alone because I could not sort out my feelings. And he did. We saw each other occasionally, in the square, near the meadow and when he brought the bags of cheese buns enough to last a starving family for more than a week. Our conversation was limited very much monosyllabic, but that was the way I wanted it. I tried to block out all thoughts of the future, because it is just too scary. But ever so often I find my hand wandering to my abdomen, where I have a slight protruding bump, still small for a 4 month pregnant lady. I rub it thoughtfully, I can't block it out.

This runs through my mind in less than a second as he says the words. The audience murmur among themselves, they do not get it straight away. All those years of life in the Capitol without having the real need to think have not helped with their intelligence. Caesar looks at Peeta, his face grave," What do you mean?" "You heard right," Peeta stands up and looks directly at the audience, "Katniss is pregnant."

There is no denying it this time, it audience gasps in horror and shock. They start to talk excitedly among themselves, which is how brutal they are, they are actually pleased that there is a pregnant tribute. But no, I'm wrong. The audience starts howling. "Katniss...Katniss", they wail my name. It gets louder and louder, almost a chant, "Katniss...Katniss...Katniss" I see the camera crew desperately try to cut off their taping and I smile. Peeta's buzzer goes off and he walks to me. "Katniss..." he says. Tears run down his face as I take his hand. What does he mean? Once again I find myself asking, does he know that the pregnancy he mentioned so casually, is real?

And all of a sudden we're plunged into darkness.

Sorry for the cliffhanger, don't worry, I'll update soon. :) Please review to let me know what you think. I'm in the process of writing the next chapter so please also let me know if you want Cinna to die. I know in the original book he did but I really kinda like him so I'm not sure if he should die in this you.
