Story 4
Im in my bed, warm with Peeta against me. My sheets feel soft as a comforting hug. I open my eyes, and the soft teal of our room soothes me. I shift a little and Peeta rests his head above my breast. He breathes like a baby, quick, but never stressed. I like when we are in bed like this. It makes me feel as if nothing happened or will happen. I wait till Peeta starts stirring, waking up to start the day painting or baking. He lifts his head and looks at me with a sleepy smile and half droopy eyes. He says: “Hey Girl on Fire” I chuckle and say: “Hey Lover Boy.” I kiss him and we lay down, my head resting on his shoulder. Theres a subtle movement down bellow my belly. Closer to my uterus. I get up, my hair falling behind my back. Peeta gets up too, he asks with a concerned voice: “Katniss, whats wrong?” I turn to him, “Something moved in me.” He looks confused.
“What?”
“Something moved in me!” I get up and look in our mirror. I pull my nightclothes tight around my midriff. There it is! A bulge, no bigger than the size of my forearm, but it reminds me of when I saw Hazelle for the first time pregnant with Rory. At first i thought it was just me gaining weight, but i only noticed it on my belly! An irrational fear grows inside me, starting from my spine, upwards. An electric shock that crawls up my spine, up my throat and then i hear screaming. And then i realize, its coming from me!
