Well, in such fanfictions, the pregnancy can be a symbol of hope. After all the trauma they've been through in the Hunger Games, having a baby is like a new start. It might also lead to some interesting character developments. For example, Peeta's protective nature could become even more pronounced, and Katniss might struggle with her role as a soon - to - be mother while still being the strong Mockingjay.
In this fanfiction, their pregnancy could be a source of great stress as well. Given their past traumas and the dangerous world they live in, they would be constantly worried about protecting their unborn child. For example, they might fear that the Capitol could use their baby as a pawn in their power games. So they would have to take extra precautions to keep their pregnancy a secret for as long as possible.
They might have some disagreements, like how to raise the child. Katniss, who has grown up in a tough environment, might have different ideas compared to Peeta. But these differences would also help them understand each other better. They would communicate more and work through their issues together, making their relationship more solid.
Their relationship would likely become more protective. Peeta, with his kind heart, would be constantly worried about Katniss and the baby. He would probably be more affectionate and try to do everything he can to make her comfortable. Katniss, on the other hand, might initially struggle with the idea of being vulnerable, but would gradually let Peeta in more as she realizes she needs his support during the pregnancy.
One challenge could be the lack of resources. Their world is often harsh, and getting enough food, medical supplies for the pregnancy and for the baby later would be difficult.
Well, it might be about how their relationship evolves during the pregnancy. Peeta could be extremely protective of Katniss, and they might have to rely on each other more than ever. They could also be visited by old friends from the Games, who offer their support and advice. And perhaps there are some health scares during the pregnancy that make them realize how precious their family - to - be is.
One idea could be that they move to a small, peaceful town away from the chaos of their past. Peeta could open a bakery and Katniss could work part - time at a local environmental center while they prepare for the baby. They might face some challenges like dealing with nosy neighbors who recognize them from their Hunger Games fame.
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.
Katniss copes in multiple ways. She has to be strong for herself, Peeta, and the unborn child. Emotionally, she might bottle up some of her feelings at first, but as time goes on, she realizes she needs to let them out. She could start writing in a journal about her experiences, fears, and hopes. Physically, she takes care of herself as best as she can in the difficult situation, eating whatever nutritious food she can find and getting enough rest when possible. Socially, she tries to keep a small circle of people around her who can support her, and she also tries to slowly re - introduce Peeta to those who care about him in a way that won't trigger his hijacked state.
Often, you can expect a lot of emotional moments. Their relationship is already complex, and pregnancy adds another layer. There will likely be tender scenes between Katniss and Peeta as they come to terms with becoming parents.
