The friends would have a range of reactions. Some of the younger friends might be excited and eager to help out, like playing with the baby when it's born. The older ones, like some of the elders in District 12, would see it as a continuation of their community. They might share old stories about raising children in the district. And there could be a few who are worried about how the Capitol will view this new development. They would caution Peeta and Katniss to be careful and keep a low profile, fearing that the Capitol might use the pregnancy against them in some way.
Their friends from District 12 would likely be overjoyed. The people there have seen so much hardship, and a new baby would be seen as a sign of hope. They would bring gifts, like hand - made baby clothes or food. Finnick, if he were still alive in the fanfiction, would be very supportive. He would offer his wisdom and share some of his own experiences if he had any related to parenting. He'd also be there to protect them from any Capitol interference.
Gale might initially feel a bit of jealousy and sadness, but he would ultimately be happy for them. He would probably offer his support in a more practical way, like helping with hunting to ensure they have enough food for the new family.
Their friends would have a mix of reactions. Some, like Prim, would be overjoyed and start preparing for the baby right away. She'd knit little clothes and offer medical advice. Others, like Beetee, might use his technical skills to create some useful gadgets for the baby, like a self - warming crib. Johanna might seem indifferent at first, but then show her support in her own tough - love way, by teaching Katniss self - defense techniques even while pregnant.
Katniss would probably be very protective at first. She has been through so much in the Hunger Games, and she wouldn't want her daughter to go through any hardships. Peeta, on the other hand, would likely be more empathetic and try to understand his daughter's feelings.
Gale might have a complex reaction. He has deep feelings for Katniss, so he could be a bit jealous at first. But being her friend, he would eventually come around and offer his support, perhaps by providing extra hunting resources for the soon - to - be family.
Her friends would likely be very protective. Finnick, for example, would probably be extremely vigilant, using all his charm and skills to keep her safe. He might also be a source of emotional support, having been through so much himself in the Hunger Games. Katniss and Peeta could offer practical help, like finding a safe place for Annie to stay during her pregnancy, as they understand the importance of protecting the vulnerable in their world.
Well, without the Hunger Games, their relationship might develop more slowly. They wouldn't have that intense, life - or - death bond formed in the arena right away. Instead, they'd have time to really get to know each other's personalities, likes and dislikes. For example, Peeta might discover Katniss's love for nature by going on hikes with her in the district's woods.
Katniss would initially be in a state of shock and fear. After all she has been through, the idea of bringing a new life into this dangerous world would be overwhelming. But Peeta would be there to calm her down. They would likely rely on the few friends they have left, like Haymitch, for advice. Peeta would also use his charm and skills to get extra resources for the pregnancy. Katniss, on the other hand, would start training again, not to participate in the Games, but to be able to defend her family. They would also have to deal with the emotional scars of the Games while preparing for the baby.
One great 'Katniss Peeta Hunger Games' fanfiction is 'Everlark's New Beginning'. It shows a post - Hunger Games world where Katniss and Peeta are rebuilding their lives together. It's full of sweet moments between them and really captures the essence of their relationship.
In some versions of this fanfiction, Peeta could be a bit worried. Given the dangerous world they live in, he might be concerned about the safety of Katniss during the pregnancy and the future of the child. He could start making arrangements to ensure they have enough resources and protection, while also expressing his love and support for Katniss.
She might struggle at first. Katniss has always been a fighter, and motherhood is a whole new territory for her. She would likely be very worried about not being a good enough mother. However, with the support of Peeta and her friends, she would gradually learn to balance her new role. She would also use her strong will and determination to provide the best for her child, making sure they have a better life than she did growing up in District 12.
