Peeta's POV

I look at Katniss and see her hyperventilating and she's starting to look pale. "Katniss calm down." I tell her, her hand is getting sweaty and her grip is starting to get weaker. "Katniss, you're both going to be fine." I whisper to her ear but then she suddenly falls down and loses her consciousness "Katniss?" I call her name as I catch her body but she's not responding "Katniss!" I'm shouting now.

"Prim, Prim what's happening to her?" I ask Prim and sits down laying Katniss on my chest

"I...I don't know. Katniss? Katniss come on, can you hear me?" Prim cries, she checks out her pulse, her stomach then between her thighs "There's no blood but we need to get her back to Thirteen. She needs medical attention, her stomach is starting to bruise."

"The hovercraft is just above the mansion. Boggs and the others are already in there with Snow, Let's get her back to Thirteen." Haymitch says to me

"Great," I tell him and lift Katniss up. Katniss and my child, my only family left are both in my hands. "You'll be okay, you're both going to be okay." I whisper her trying to hold back my tears

"Do you know the way out here?" Prim asks Haymitch

"I've been here numerous times. Follow me." We both follow Haymitch and he leads us up the mansion where the hovercraft is waiting for us. Gale runs fast to us when he saw Katniss on my arms

"What happened to her? Did you hurt her?" He asks me angrily

"Why would I hurt her?" I ask him back

"Your stupid flashback! What happened to her?" He places her hands under Katniss and tries to get her off from mine

"I don't need any help!" I tell him pulling Katniss away from him "And I would never hurt her." Gale gives me a glare, I know he's angry and so am I.

"Gale! Peeta!" Haymitch screams from the hovercraft making us both look at him "You can fight as long as you want when you're both here but right now get your asses in this hovercraft so we can bring Katniss back to Thirteen!" I gave Gale a bad look and run towards the hovercraft with Katniss

"Where should I put her?" I ask anyone

"Bring her here!" One person says, "Give her to me!" another one shouts. I don't know who to listen to anymore it's a good thing Prim comes over me with Cressida

"Lay her beside Finnick, I prepared a bed for her when I heard about it." Cressida says

"Yes. Lay her down; it would be better for her. It will lessen her chances of bleeding." Prim adds

I lay Katniss down on a bed and stayed with her. I won't leave her, I can't leave her. She needs me more right now. I remove the hair on her face gently with my fingers. I can see her eyebrows twitching, although she's unconscious, her eyes closed, her body and face makes little movements letting us know, letting me know that she's in pain. I sat beside her bed, grabs her hand and kiss it. "You'll be okay, you're both going to be okay."

"Peeta, take a rest. I'll watch her from here." Prim tells me from behind; I wipe away my tears and clear my throat

"No. I'm okay, I can watch her." I tell Prim and she sat beside me

"I guess we can both watch her." She says then places an oxygen mask into Katniss's face

"I guess so." There was complete silence from both of us, just staring at Katniss until she finally speaks

"Peeta can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah sure. What is it?"

"You love my sister right?" I look at her. Why is she asking me this?

"More than anything in the world."

"And you love the baby?"

"Of course. They're my only family; I love them both so much."

"Good. I like you more for my sister than any other person, even Gale who has been her best friend since they were kids."

"Thank you."

"Thanks for saving my sister. You always protect her, thank you." Then she hugs me tight and I eventually hug her back

"You know. She was the one who always saves me." I look at her "It's true. From the 74th Hunger Games, she saved me when I was dying by the river. In the Quarter Quell, she never left my side when I was so weak from hitting the force field, and now here in the mission, when everyone agreed to leave me behind because I was having a very bad flashback, did you know she never left me?" I tell her and she shakes her head

"Even if she knows she's in danger every time I had a flashback, she never left me, not even once, and I'm grateful for that." I blush a little, Prim stays quiet, "And did you know she can control my flashbacks now? She's smart!" I smile at her and she asks

"She can? How?"

"I don't know, flashbacks are triggered from bad memories, mainly her but she can also be my cure. I don't know how she does it, she tells me our baby has a part with it."

"Your baby? That's very odd."

"I know but that's what she said. You can ask her when she woke up."

"I will. Thanks." She tells me. Suddenly, we hear Katniss mumble some noise, I hold her hand and her face, she's sweating so much, she starts to make some small noise that eventually change into loud screams,

"Katniss? Katniss!" Prim calls for her sister, even as a nurse, a doctor in the future, she still can't figure out Katniss's condition

"She's having a nightmare Prim. Get me some towel and soak it with cold water please." I tell her and she run as fast as she could outside the room.

I grab Katniss's shaking body and try to wake her up "Katniss come on. It's not real, wake up!" Prim comes in and damps the wet towel on her face. She starts to relax a little, her shaking lessens, but I still hear her make mumble noises. I remove her hair sticking on her face because of her sweat when suddenly Katniss's eyes shoots wide open. She sits up straight and holds her stomach right after then she started to cough heavily
