Hi there! This is my first fanfiction and it is going to be focused of Katniss and Peeta's life after Mockingjay. I really hope that you enjoy it!
My eyes darted back and forth from Peeta's eyes and back to the stick lying upright on the sink. I feel Peeta's eyes also transfixed on the stick and this sends my heart into rapid fire. "I can't wait three minutes Peeta, I just can't…. this is killing me". Peeta looks at me and gives me a small reassuring smile, "Katniss honey its fine just wait it out" he says soothingly, his hands gesturing me forward to sit on his lap on the edge of the bathtub. I settle onto his knee and my head fits into place in the crook of his neck.
"Peeta?" I ask tentatively turning my head slightly to be able to see Peeta's face. "Mmm?" "What if…. what if I'm not…." Peeta looks at me no longer smiling and behind his calm exterior I can sense there is actual fear plastered on his face, he is genuinely scared that our wish might not come true. "Katniss please don't say that honey, everything is going to work out" he says as if trying to convince himself, his hands rubbing circles into my back. "Peeta, we have been trying for over a year now… nothings happened….what if I can't…" Peeta gives me a kiss on my forehead and doesn't answer me.
We sat there in silence for the remainder of the three minutes, and finally when it all felt like too much I jumped up and hastened to the sink. Just before I get to the sink the depth of what I am about to find out sinks in. I turn around to see Peeta's eyes trailing me and from the look on my face Peeta understands. He gets up and walks over to the sink. He stands there for a few moments before he turns around to look at me with a beaming smile from ear to ear plastered on his face.
I don't need any explaining to tell me the result before I rush into Peeta's arms, my happy place!
