AU: Where Katniss has a miscarriage. (Peeta’s POV)
How? How could this all be happening like this…? Why did the world have to take everything from us? It had taken so long to get Katniss into this… To get her excited to be starting a new life together.
And now it’s all gone.
I remember coming home from the market, my arms full of goodies. “Katniss! I’m home!” I called out as I entered the room.
What I saw next would forever be in my mind. The imagine of Katniss laying on the ground, a broken plate beside her, and covered in blood. Her pained eyes looked up at me and she managed to moan out, “Peeta help…!” I had never seen Katniss in so much pain and anguish. I called for Haymitch, for anyone that was nearby! Anyone that could help us! We had to get her to a medical clinic.
It was soon that we learned… That Katniss had lost our baby girl. A miscarriage. The doctor didn’t know how, or why this happened… It was as simple as one moment our baby girl was healthy and the next she was dead.
So here we were, still at the hospital. I sit next to Katniss on the hospital bed, my legs crossed under me, and she dangles hers over the edge of the bed. She hadn’t spoken since the miscarriage. I could only imagine the pain she went through, physical and emotional. She was bonded to that baby… The anguish I was feeling was most likely double for her. I watch as she runs her hands over her stomach, there was nothing in there anymore… Our girl was gone. “How…” She whispers out.
I perk up at the sound of her voice, my hand going to her back and rubbing it. “How what Katniss?” She was speaking. This was a huge step.
“How can she just be gone…” Katniss finally says after remaining quite for a moment.
She didn’t cry, she hadn’t yet. Which made me worry about her, maybe she was holding it all in? But me on the other hand, I always let it out. Tears form in my eyes when she says this, my frown deepening. “I.. I don’t know Katniss… I just don’t know…”
She looks over at me and she reaches up, her fingers brushing over my tears. “It’s okay… We’ll be okay. She’s with Prim now and your family. And Finnick, Mags, my dad…Everyone. Everyone is taking care of our baby girl.”
I stare at the woman before me… Katniss was the strongest person I had ever met in my life. She had went through pain, anguish, and the worst thing a woman could go through… But she was help me though it? There weren’t many people as strong as Katniss Everdeen in the world.
“She’s happy Peeta…” Katniss takes my hand into hers, squeezing it. Like she was trying to reassure both of us. “Our baby is happy.”
