"I have something to show you." Coriolanus said taking your hand, you smile as he walked you towards a door. You stopped at the door eyebrows snitched together.
"Hey you okay?" He asked looking at her with slight concern. Y/n nodded smiling slightly. "Hmm morning sickness again?"
"Y-yeah I think- ah!" you shouted slightly as suddenly a sharp pain going through you your hand going to your stomach as you start to crumble to the floor in pain.
Coriolanus's eyes widened as he wrapped his arms around you. He held you as you gripped onto his shirt.
~~~
Coriolanus opened the door once you got home. His arm wrapped around you.
"I want to see the surprise." You blurted out. Moving his arms from around you and walked towards the room you were previously at before..
"You need to rest-" "I want to see it." You said sternly looking at him Coriolanus looked back at you his jaw clenched as you turned away from him going into the room eyes widening as you saw a nursery.
"I had the avoxes work on it all week..." Coriolanus said at the door way.
You walked over to the crib picking up a small onesie that said 'Moms the best.' You bring the onesie up to your chest. Tears filled your eyes.
"I just need a minute.." Y/n sniffed leaving the room. Coriolanus looked around banging his fist against the wall before going after her.
Coriolanus felt like he was losing control. His worst fear ever since losing his mother was now becoming a reality in a cruel twist of fate for him and his beautiful darling wife. And he'd be damned if he lost his girl to the same fate his mother had faced. He found her looking at a picture.
"We can take a day before we go back to the doctor." Coriolanus said. Leaning against the wall slightly. Y/n sat the picture down.
"For an abortion..." She whispered, looking off to the side. Coriolanus jaw clenched.
"That's not wh-" "That's what it is!" Coriolanus looked at her eyes widened a bit at her outburst. She turned around looking at him.
"If you want to say anything about it Coriolanus. Then call it what it is." She said sternly. He ran a hand through his hair.
"How did this happen?" He whispered. She looked away slightly guilt.
"I-I had some pain earlier in the pregnancy.." She admitted. Coriolanus eyes shot up face Turing into one she never wanted to face and looked at her.
"How could you not inform me of this?" He asked anger slowly rising.
"Because I went to the doctor and they said it was nothing.." She said as tears slipped down her cheeks.
"T-this isn't nothing!" Coriolanus said coming in front of you.
"M-maybe it is.." She whispered. Coriolanus eyed her in disbelief.
"What does that mean?" He asked she looked at him. "It means whatever happens.. Happens." Coriolanus backed away angrily.
"You have some nerve.." He spat. Her eyebrows stitched together "excuse me?"
"We are not continuing this pregnancy. I'm not going to lose you because of it." Y/n came up to him.
"It's not an it. Alright? You saw its heart beat and the little tiny fingers and its toes." "Stop!" "No im not gonna stop okay?!"
Coriolanus looked at her eyes filling with tears whether it's from rage or what she's saying.
"T-this is our baby Corio. It's you and me." She said taking his hand. "Are we really going to let them place odds on us? After everything that we've been through? Kidnappings, District 12, peacekeeping, the games, my family?" She exclaimed. Coriolanus looked at her with sad angry eyes .
"I can't lose you.. not li-" Y/n cupped his cheeks "you're not going to lose me like your mother. We are going to be fine.." she said taking one of his hands and placing it in her bump. "All three of us."
"Plus if I go. I will haunt your ass to make sure you never slip." She joked.
"How the hell can you joke about this and be so calm?" He asked but more liked seethed at her. She took eyes off her bump and looked into his eyes.
"Cause I'm scared." Y/n said with tears slipping from her eyes. Coriolanus eyes softened before eloping her into an embrace.
"But I have to believe that the odds WILL be in our favor this is not where our story ends.." She whispered, forehead pressed against his.

7 months later...

You were now very heavily pregnant at a gala that the doctor okayed you to go to Coriolanus was by your side all night. Checking on you as you were both congratulated as people gushed over the two of you bringing a baby. Into the world.
Now, you had just gotten home and Corio was walking you to the bedroom. A peacekeeper came up to you bowing his head.
"Mister Snow sir, I'm sorry to interrupt but you have an important call." A peacekeeper said.
"What ever it is. Im sure it can wait." Coriolanus said coldly. The peacekeeper gulped before taking a deep breath and saying who it was. Coriolanus sighed as he gave you a hesitant look.
"Go, I'll be fine." Y/n said giving him a small smile. He gave you a kiss on the head.
"This won't take long." Coriolanus said you nodded as he walked off with the peacekeeper.
You continued your walk to the bedroom before you felt a sharp pain and felt something slip down your leg to see blood. Your breath hitched as your body crumbled to the ground not hearing her name being called in a series of panic.
Tigris rushed into the hospital wing seeing Coriolanus with his head in his hands. She gulped walking over to him placing a hand on his shoulder. He looked up with teary eyes.
"I can't lose her Tigris.. not like.." Tigris shushed him as she brought him into an embrace. It was the first time since before the 10th anual games that she saw the actual him.
"You're not going to lose her Corio, y/n is strong a lot stronger than we know." And she was right.
The odds did it in fact fall in their favor a few moments later Elorie Rose Snow was born the both of you healthier than anyone could imagined. Coriolanus practically rushed into your room seeing you sat up holding the small baby in your arms looking as beautiful and alive more than ever. You smiled at him as he came closer looking at you then down at his.. daughter. He let the last tear slip as he embraced you kissing your forehead and wrapping his arm around you.
"Oh y/n she's beautiful.." Tigris cooed at the very healthy new born resting in you arms.
"Would you like to hold her?" She asked. Tigris froze for a moment before nodding her head.
"Ellie this is your godmother and best aunt Tigris." Y/n said as she handed Elorie over to her.
Tigris looked at Coriolanus surprised and he nodded. Tigris eyes welled up with tears as she held the baby looking down at her now goddaughter.
"Are you-" "I'm fine.. im more than fine Corio." Y/n said looking at him as she leaned her head on his shoulder. Taking a deep breath as she smiled looking at their daughter and Tigris. Coriolanus kiss her forehead as Tigris handed Elorie back to Y/n.
"I'll let you two have a moment." Tigris said as she left the room.
"She's perfect.." Y/n said looking down at the newborn with pure platinum blonde hair.
Coriolanus looked at Y/n then to his daughter. She looked like the perfect mix of the two of you. His heart swelled looking at her. He knew then that he could never truest hate her even when he almost lost you but he didn't. Here you three were okay and safe.
