I'm not going to be updating for a while because school starts in less than a week. I'm starting high school so, fingers crossed.

(The first part is Katniss' POV. The next chapter will be in Peeta's)

P.S. Aub, don't say a thing about my dedication, okay?

Disclaimer: I don't own THG or the characters within it. Nor do I own the song, God Gave Me You.

Dedicated to Mikey. Even though your in Ohio, (and I know you can't read this) I know that God gave me you. I hope you have fun up there. I miss you.

P.S. It's more than alot 'o bit. :)

I open my eyes and see Peeta lying next to me with a protective arm over my waist. We are seperated a bit by my protruding belly, which holds our first child.

The thought of bringing a baby into this cruel world still plants seeds of dread and terror inside of me, but Peeta helps me through it.

Because even though the war is long over, I still mourn those who have been lost.

I've been a walking heartache.

I've made a mess of me.

The person that I've been lately ain't who I wanna be, but you stay here right beside me.

Watch as the storm blows through, and I need you.

We need each other, really. He comforts me when the mutts and the people who have died haunt my dreams, and I help him when he has a flashback from the hijacking.

It was almost inevitable how this happened. As if some otherworldly being preordained it.

'Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs.

God gave me you for the days of doubt.

And for when I think I lost my way, there are no words here left to say, it's true.

God gave me you.

I still don't know the exact reason why he loves me. The answer will always evade me.

But maybe, some questions don't need to be answered.

There's more here than what we're seeing.

A divine conspiracy.

That you, an angel lovely, would somehow fall for me.

There is nothing to love about me, Peeta says otherwise.

Maybe it will always be like this. Me, getting undeserved love from a man who is better off without me.

You'll always be love's great martyr, and I'll be the flattered fool.

And I need you.

However it happened, it fits perfectly. Whoever put us together knew what they were doing, even if it took a lot of pain to get here.

God gave me you for the ups and downs.

God gave me you for the days of doubt.

And for when I think I lost my way, there are no words here left to say, it's true.

God gave me you.

Without each other, we aren't how we should be. We aren't complete. Nothing would work as it should.

On my own I'm only half of what I could be, I can't do without you.

We are stitched together, and what love has tethered, I pray we never undo.

'Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs.

God gave me you for the days of doubt.

And for when I think I lost my way, there are no words here left to say, it's true.

God gave me you.

I close my eyes, and as I drift off to sleep, I smile at the life I've been given.

Though it's had it's fair share of sadness, I still have that one person to help me through the rest.
