"Peeta?, Luca? What do you want for your tea" I shouted from the kitchen.

With out missin a best they shouted straight back "chicken nuggets"

"Chicken nuggets? Out of everything you both want chicken nuggets?"

"Yes chicken nuggets" peeta repeated.

"Whatever chicken nuggets it is"

As I opened the freezer the house phone rang.

"Peeta can you get that please" I waited for a response.

"Peeta"

"Peeta mellark can you please so playing like a child an answer the phone" I screamed.

"Yeahhh" he calmly shouted back.

"Thank you!" I answered annoyed.

I waited a few seconds;

"Who is it?"

"It's delly, she's havin the baby" he said casually.

"You what?" I asked confused

"I said delly-" he repeated himself.

"I heard what you said peeta, just come down a second will you so I don't have to shout"

Sometimes peeta was so dumb.

Heavy footsteps then little ones that followed.

"Delly is going hospital now, she's in labour" peeta casually told me.

I looked at him annoyed.

"Oh an she said she wants you to be there" he said taking a bite out of a cookie.

"God sake peeta" I fumed running for my Jacket an shoes.

"What?" He asked dumbly.

"Just watch Luca an make sure he eats" I told him.

"I know, I know the drill"

"Right, I'll ring you later" I shouted as I ran out the door.

"Hi I'm looking for delly Cartwright's room?" I breathlessly said to the nurse at the desk.

She looked through the database taking longer than I expected.

"Second floor is maternity, room 4" she replied.

"Thanks" I shouted as I ran.

I took the lift up to the next floor scanning the hallway for room 4. I didn't have to look much further because thom was stood outside on the phone.

"Thom, is she okay?"

"Yeah she's in slow labour but the nurse said the baby should be here by tonight" he seemed nervous.

"Aww that's great" I smiled.

"Yeah, go in an see her, she's asking for you."

I smiled again opening the door.

"Hey dell, how you feeling?"

"Well I'm not gonna say fine because it hurts really bad" she sort of laughed.

I looked at her sympathetically an hugged her.

"Well I survived a rebellion I'm sure I can survive this" she joked.

"Hey don't joke about that" I laughed.

She looked like she was about to say something else but her face turned white an she griped the side of the bed instead.

"Breathe it out breathe" the nurse said to her.

"This really hurts" she spoke through gritted teeth.

"I know honey just breathe"

I felt useless is didn't have the first clue about babies or giving birth, Annie would.

The contraction seemed to stop an delly sat back up.

"It's weird because it hurts like really really bad when you have a contraction an then when it stops you feel kinda normal" she giggled.

"And that would be laughing gas talking" the nurse told me.

"Oh I don't know, delly is pretty ditsy" I joked.

"Oh god" delly shouted again, another contraction.

"Okay delly when this contraction ends I wanna check how many centimetres dilated you are " the nurse told her.

"I still can't believe you won't tell me if I'm getting a godson or goddaughter" I said to delly.

Delly let out a massive breath.

"Its a surprise" she smirked.

"Well delly it looks like your baby should he here with I'm the hour" the nurse told her.
