Clove pov:

It doesn't take us long to arrive at the Capitol since it's our neighboring district. I step out of the train and i'm met with flashing lights and they yells from the Capitol people. I smile for each camera i come in contact with. "Mrs Hadley?! How far along are you?" a cameraman yells at me "9 months!" i give a warm smile back to everyone as i enter the shining white gates.

Jules and an Avox woman stand inside of the large living room. "You guys may settle in then later we will take a look at your opponents! Just walk through these doors, straight down the hallway, up the elevator and then you guys will find your room easily!" i grab Cato's hand and he's shaking badly. "thank you Jules~" we walk down the ridiculously long hallway with his hand on my stomach. he jumps back a little when he feels a kick "looks like someone recognizes daddy~" i chuckle out

We pause and he kneels down in front of me, pressing his head against my belly lightly. "my baby boy.. if i don't make it out, let your mama know i love her more than the world ok?" he lays one little kiss before standing up and entering the elevator. "baby don't say that.. you'll make it out!" i cry out to him, his hands shake frankly. "not this time my love." i see his nose starts to redden; meaning he's going to cry.

"i love you so much. you can do this." when the doors slide open, we can see a door with our names on it. It's decorated with a red knife and a red sword crossed together. "gets some rest before you train ok?" he nods as i open the black coated door.

"Ok let us begin in D1! Cashmere and Gloss! Brother and sister duo, won their games back to back, Capitol favorites with many sponsors they will be lethal." Cato leans forward in his seats. "D2, you two of course! Extremely lethal pair, Clove will be your trainer/mentor!" Ivy looks to Cato with a smirk "i think we'll be a great duo~" she touches his hand that's planted on his leg. His other is wrapped around my waist. She's getting friend with him. to friendly.

"Wiress and Beetee, not fighters but brilliant. Beetee killed 6 tributes at once using only an electric shock. I mark not a threat!" then she clicks and is recognize that face from anywhere. Finnick Odair. We went to the same primary school in D1. Hes a great person really, amazing with a trident, him and Cato are great friends actually. "Finnick!" Cato yells out "yes sir, he's the second youngest winner, Ivy here is our youngest. She won her games at 12!" the corner of her lips curl

"Jules stop it~" she touches her chest with a cheeky smirk "don't flatter yourself Finnick won his game at 13." i blurt out, she's not special. "Your just mad i didn't have to beat my final opponent with a rock!" I scoff, shooting up from my seat "Clo-" the anger from below builds up in me "i did that to survive! so i could come home and live with the love of my life! you don't understand!" i storm out of the room in a crying fit.

The only sound that fills our room is my low sniffles. I did what i had to do to stay alive, if i didn't i wouldn't be here waiting for a baby boy to arrive. I wouldn't have my picture perfect life that i cherish the most. The door creaks open revealing Cato. "hi baby," he says lowly. "i love you you know? she's got nothing on you." he says inching over to where i lay on our shared bed. "i've got training, if you want to come watch.." he whispers in my ear. "help me up?" i reach my arms out to him and he grabs them lightly

"wanna change or are you gonna watch?" i shake my head "i'll just watch, im tired" he giggles "your always fire hun" i let out and exaggerated yawn "maybe you should tell your son to let mama sleep some" i look down at my belly and a little kick immerges. "aye little boy, give your mother a break today, she's tired" he caresses the side before grabbing my hand and walking out of the room.

We enter the doors of the training center and it's filled with all sorts of people with skill. From a distance i can see Katniss in a archery cube. Peeta is at weights and Cato is eyeing the swords. "go babe, i'll be over there" i point to the knot tying section where Finnick stands. "ok i love you" he kisses my cheek before turning and going to the swords. "Finnick!" i call out as i slowly waddle over to him. "Clove?" he says, dropping his knot that he was currently tying

"how are you?!" he hugs me, or tries to. he's blocked by my stomach "great~ little Dash is due soon!~" he poked at my stomach a bit, hoping to get a kick or something. "he's very fiesty so i'd suggest you let him sleep, he's finally sleeping" Finnick giggles "i watched the reaping, he'll do great, he's Cato. He'll come back home" i nod, i know he will it's just scary that he has to go back into these stupid games.

My attention turns to an illuminated cube. It's knife throwing. What's the harm in throwing a few knives? "i'm gonna go to throwing, just for a bit" he nods before returning to his rope. I pick up a few knives, analyzing their weight and pointiness, one of them has my name carved into it.

'D2: Victor Clove Kentwell'

I smile, the dummies light up and i'm trapped in the cube. The walls flash with the words extreme on them. I smirk, someone is definitely testing me; even while pregnant.

well, let's give them a show.
