~Katniss~
The day went by slowly as Haymitch and I talked to different sponsors. A few times I saw Cato and his fellow mentors and he just winked at me, giving me a small smirk. But when he caught sight of what I was wearing, his jaw dropped slightly before he regained his composer. He was dressed in black pants and a leather jacket with a blue v-neck shirt underneath. He decided to dress casual for this meeting. But I had to admit, he looked good. Finally, after checking the time every ten minutes Haymitch finally let me go. I nodded a thank you to him before walking over to Cato.
"Honey, can I talk to you?" I said to him sweetly for the sponsors. He nodded, looking at me with furrowed brows and walked with me out of ear shot from the sponsors. He knows I'm not that sweet so he knows something is up.
"What's wrong?"
"Effie made an appointment for me with a doctor. It's in a few minutes."
"I'm coming with you." he said protectively making me laugh.
"That's why I came to get you dummy." I teased. He smirked before walking back to the sponsors and Enorbia with me in tow.
"I apologize but it seems that I am needed somewhere else." he said looking back and forth from them to me. I blushed as I wrapped my arm around his. He kiss my head before turning back to them."Can you handle things from here?" he said to his old mentor.
"Yes now go be hormonal." she said shoving them away.
"It's more of an appointment because of us being hormonal." Cato thought out loud.
"Checking on the baby?" A sponsor asked.
"Yes sir now Cato we have to go before we're late." I said tugging him away. He followed me to the elevator and wrapped me in his arms as the doors closed.
"You know that kiss doesn't count." he whispered in my ear.
"I was wondering about that." we finally made it to our apartment and I changed into more casual pants and top. But I ended up keeping the heels because we have to keep up appearance. When I walked out of our room Cato stood near the door with a jacket much like his but fitted for me. I slipped it on with his help and we walked back to the elevator and rode down to the first floor where we would meet the car to take us to the doctor. When we made it to the doctor's office we sat nervously in the waiting room. All of the paperwork was filled out by Effie, thank goodness, so all we had to do is wait. Which didn't last too long.
"Katniss Knight?" a Capitol nurse asked. We stood up and followed her to a room.
"Knight?" Cato whispered to me.
"Effie filled out the papers not me. But I don't mind it. Do you?" I asked looking at him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me to his side.
"Not at all." he said as we entered our room. Everything was white, white floors, walls, chairs, everything. The nurse stood by the door as Cato and I walked in. I sat on the bed as Cato sat on the chair next to me, holding me hand.
"Doctor Kimba will be right with you." the nurse said before walking out of the room.
"Kimba?" Cato sad in disbelief.
"Capitol people have weird names." I commented just before the doctor herself walked through the door.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Knight. Pleasure to finally meet the Couple on Fire."
"nice to meet you too." Cato said as we shook hands with Doctor Kimba.
"so ready to see the baby?" she asked and I nodded. "okay just lay back on the bed and lift up your shirt. Warning, this gel is going to be a little cold." she said and she put it on my stomach. I shivered at the coldness and Cato squeezed my hands. She ran the wand thing over my stomach and as we waited for the image to come on the screen she asked a few questions. "When did you find out you were pregnant?"
"The day of our interviews. I suspected before then but that was when I officially found out."
"Okay, any morning sickness?"
"Oh yes. In the morning, sometimes during the day and when I smell certain foods." I said and she nodded looking towards the screen.
"Well there they are." she said with a small smile.
"They?" Cato asked confused.
"Yes they, you are having twins. You see there?" she pointed to a small image of a fetus. "and there." she said pointing to the one next to it. "it's too early to tell gender but yes you are having twins. And you are about a month along."
"Twins." I whispered as Cato brought my hand that he was holding to his lips.
"Would you like me to print out some images?"
"Yes thank you Doctor." I said. I couldn't take my eyes from the screen. She cleaned off my stomach and walked out of the room to retrieve them and left the two of us alone. I almost didn't feel Cato kiss my cheek I was too mesmerized on the screen.
"I can't believe it. We are having twins." he said happily. I turned my head and kissed his lips happily. When I pulled away he brought his hands up and wiped my tears I didn't know I shed.
"Why are you crying? Aren't you happy?" he asked.
"Yeah I am. Must be hormones." I say not wanting to admit that I'm actually crying. I was pulled to his chest as I let out a happy sob. When we left the office with our pictures I couldn't help but look at them. Cato was doing the same. We made it back to our apartment and set our jackets on the table. Cato went to the living room with one of the pictures. I set the others on the table and followed him. As he sat on the couch he opened his arms for me to sit on his lap.
"So what do you think? Boys or girls?" I asked him.
"Well you know me, I want a boy first so I'm hoping for boys." he said with a smirk. "Then we can use both Chase and Kai." he continued.
"What if it's a boy and a girl?"
"Then we need to decide on a name for the boy." he said making me laugh a little. But my laughs died down when I saw his face turn serious. "You know I was thinking about wanting to name our daughter after Clove. How would you feel if we name one of our sons after Peeta?" he asked softly and gently. He stared into my eyes intently waiting for my reaction.
"Really?" I said hopefully.
"Really. He was a friend to you Katniss, someone from your home, it," he paused and sighed. "it just feels right." I sat there and thought about it. It does feel right. More than Cato knows. He doesn't know that Peeta saved my life when I was younger, and I need to tell him.
"Peeta was more than a friend Cato, he saved my life."
"How?" he asked worriedly.
"After my dad died, we were having a hard time getting by even with me hunting. It was raining and freezing outside and I was trying to sell some of Prim's old clothing at The Hob but nothing would sell. I stopped outside the back of the Bakery, hoping to find something to eat in the garbage but it was empty." I paused to see how he was taking this story but his face told me to go on. So I did "his mom caught he and chased me away. I sat by a tree about to pass out from starvation when I heard shouting from inside. He had burned a few loaves of bread and his mom told him to throw them to the pigs, but instead when she wasn't looking, he threw them to me. Because of him my family was able to survive long enough for e to go hunting again and get more food the next day. I'm alive because of him." I started to shed tears again as I told him the story and he pulled my flush to his chest without hurting to babies growing in me.
"We are definitely naming one of them after him." he said seriously. He said and I smiled. I pulled myself away to take off my shoes.
"Okay I know I have to wear these things but they hurt." I complain.
"I think they make you look sexy." he said huskily in my ear. I smiled deviously at him.
"I'll be right back." I said before slipping away making him groan.
"No don't leave."
"Relax, I'll be right back."
"Hurry." he demanded. I walked into our bedroom and looked for the red dress I was wearing earlier I put it on and looked at myself in the mirror and thought it was missing something. I took a knife that I always carry with me and slit the dress up mid-thigh. Perfect. I thought. I walked back out of the room slowly, barely making any noise on the carpet. I opened the door quietly to see Cato still sitting on the couch, head leaned back, and his eyes closed. I padded over and slipped my heels back on.
"Now what was it you said about tearing some clothes to shreds?" I ask sweetly causing him to open his eyes and look at me with nothing but lust in them. He didn't say anything, he just stood up and smashed my lips to his. Our tongues battled for dominance and as usual he won.
His hands roamed all over my body as mine did to his. His hands finally rested at my hips where he lifted me up, making me wrap my legs around his waist. My hands went to the nape of his neck, playing with his hair. I didn't know we were moving until he kicked our bedroom door shut. He dropped me on the bed and started taking off his shirt, but I quickly got on my knees and stopped him.
"That's my job remember?" I said as I ripped his shirt down the middle making him growl in approval. He leaned forward and gave me a heated kiss, going farther and farther back until I was flat on my back. His hands going everywhere until my dress was in small red pieces on the floor of our room. Things only got more heated from there until I woke up wrapped in his bare arms and tangled in the blankets of our bed.

I am so so so so sorry to say this but I am going to have to put this story on hold. I just... have lost my inspiration for this story and I ran out of ideas. I got so wrapped up in my other story that Knew got put on the back burner and even though I didn't forget about this story I just ran out of ideas. Mysteries Made is still going strong and is far from being done so if you haven't read it yet please go check it out and tell me what you think. I am willing to take some ideas for Knew so if you have any ideas or input on where you want to see this story go, feel completely free to let me know.
