Katniss Everdeen: Any last advice?
Haymitch Abernathy: Stay alive.
Question: Exactly how is Peeta pretending that he and Katniss are having a baby supposed to get them to cancel the games?
Answer: Peeta knows that he and Katniss are Capitol favorites and that their fans have been enthralled by their (fake) romance. By announcing their bogus elopement and a faux pregnancy, he is attempting to win over peoples' sympathy in hope they will demand that the games be halted in order to protect the "unborn child." People generally have more empathy when infants and small children are involved, though his attempt was unsuccessful.
