Katniss POV

"Come on, you need to get some sleep." I plead with the baby wriggling about in my arms. He's rather quiet but very active whenever he's up. "Please baby, go to sleep." I whisper standing off the bed as I start to pace around the room. If he stays up much longer he'll throw off his whole schedule, what little of one he has. "Please baby, you need to get some sleep." I beg him."Do you want me to sing?" I ask and he stills momentarily looking up into my eyes. "Please, I will do anything to get you to go to sleep." I whisper disparagingly.

I give up trying to just coo him into sleeping and I begin to sing one of the few songs that I feel is appropriate to sing to a baby.

"Deep in the meadow..."

Setis is only four weeks old but is certainly learning just how to push my buttons. He wakes me up every few hours, squirming about since he very rarely actually cries. Or when Peeta begins messing with him after he wakes up, still on a 'baker's' schedule, and I get woken up nine times out of ten.

Finally after singing the song several times he falls asleep again and I lay back down on the bed, with him on top of me. I move into Peeta's side, his arms reflexively move around me and Setis. One arm under my head and the other across our sleeping baby.

"Is he asleep now?" He whispers down toward me, his voice full of sleep.

"Yeah," I reply simply, sleep already starting to overtake me. He kisses my head and I feel like a child for a moment.

"How long was he up this time?" He asks sounding slightly more awake than before.

"Half an hour." I mumble before I fall asleep again.

When I wake again I notice that Setis is no longer on top of me, also that there are soft whispers emanating throughout the room. I crack my eyes open to see Peeta pacing the room holding Setis close to him, softly speaking to him.

"Buddy, you've got to go back to sleep." I pick out as he moves slightly closer to me, I can see the small body wriggling about in his arms causing me to almost laugh. Then I can hear him start to whimper some. I recognize that one, almost as if I've been programmed to, well I suppose I have. "What's wrong?" He asks standing in place, swaying from foot to foot. He looks so natural like this but I can hear the slight fear and anxiety in his voice as he asks what's wrong yet again.

"Diaper," I tell him moving to the side of the bed so I can stand up.

"What?" He asks sounding surprised.

"He needs his diaper changed." I tell Peeta flatly, moving to take Setis from his arms.

"I've got this. Why are you up anyways?" He asks me moving about the room, collecting the things for Setis.

"It's time to get up anyways so why wouldn't I be?" I ask him answering his question with one of my own. "Do you have anything other than meals planned?" I ask, because after the first week in the hospital all I've had on my schedule is three meals, the occasional Command meeting, and once I had to do a propo.

"I have Command and some training. Luckily though it's only a few hours long so I'll be back in no time. What do you have?" He asks turning around with Setis, who is no longer whimpering.

I stick my arm under the machine that will give me my schedule and read it for a moment. 10:00 Command, that's two and a half hours away. "I've got Command too, but no training." I say as I walk back over to him, press a soft kiss to his lips, and then take Setis in my arms once again. "Ten O'clock then lunch." I tell him as I move to our shared dresser, pull out a change of clothes for each of us, and toss Peeta his.

"Same for me, but after lunch I have some final training." He tells me. I almost forgot that he was going to be shipped out soon to the Capitol for the war. I guess we'll find out what the plan is today and hopefully we'll have a few more weeks before he actually leaves. Perhaps he won't even have to leave. That's just too hopeful though.

"I'm would like to thank you for coming to meet me. I'm very excited to tell you that you all will be going into battle tomorrow, being shipped out that is, other than Katniss, Annie, and the older victors of course." Coin announces once all of the rescued victors and a select few soldiers that are supposed to be in charge of those going in. "Today you will have your final training session and tomorrow morning you will be woken at around 5 and escorted to the launch station. Any questions from all of you?" She asks glancing over some papers in front of her.

A few seconds pass and no one says anything. We all just sort of glance at each other silently saying goodbye. "Where exactly are we being deployed?" Finnick asks.

"You'll be let out of the hovercraft about a mile away from the camp on the outskirts of the Capitol. Now I think that is just about all so I leave you to go on about your day. You are dismissed." She says waving us away.

We leave and solemnly make our way to the dining hall for our lunch, eat in silence, and then Annie and I make our way to my compartment, after saying goodbye to all of the others.
