A/N: Hi! This is my first fan-fiction, although I've been reading fan-fiction for about 6 months. I need a BETA, so if you are interested, please PM me. Thanks :)

Ok, I feel like I'm blabbering, so without further ado, chapter 1 of "The Life of a Mockingjay"

Disclaimer: I own nothing. All the characters belong to Suzanne Collins.

Peeta POV:

"Kat?" I had been searching for five minutes and was getting pretty worried. I know, a guy, getting worried, odd. Well, I'm not a normal guy.

"Right here Peeta!" I hear the most beautiful sound. My Katniss, my angel's, voice.

"WHERE WERE YOU?! I was worried sick!" I said, almost crying.

"Sorry. I took the kids for a walk in the woods and we saw Gale and Posy out for a walk too. We went for ice cream with them."

"Oh," I left it at that because she knows how I don't like Gale.

"Yep."

"I love you," I said right before I kissed her. Just then, PJ and Rue decided to make themselves known.

"Please no PDA," little PJ asked.

"Ok. Peet," I felt bad for the kids. They had two dis-functional parents who, on some days, could barely get out of bed. Although we were getting better, we still had days that I relapsed and became violent. Those were the days we sent them to Haymitch's house and they played with the geese. The kids don't seem to mind though, they love Haymitch and he has stopped drinking so we can actually count on him being sober.

Peet and Rue went off and payed in the backyard. I decided to star dinner.

"Need help?" Katniss offered.

"Ok." I said and started getting the ingredients out for spaghetti.

"How was your day?" I asked, trying not to make the kitchen as awkward as it had been.

"It was good. How was the bakery today?"

"It was good. We have a big order for a party soon, so I might have to stay late in the next couple days." I said.

"Aw. Do you have to?" Katniss pleaded with those big beautiful grey eyes that I couldn't say no to.

"I guess not. My staff can do it. I will just have to make sure everything is going ok."

"That sounds perfect. Now we can get ready for PJ's birthday."

Oh crap. I almost forgot my son's birthday.

"Have you started on a cake yet?" Katniss asked.

"Yes." I lied. Well, kind of. I will start one first thing tomorrow.

"You made him chocolate like he asked for right?"

"Of course. How could I forget?"

Dinner was finished and eaten. The kids were put to bed and I was getting ready for bed.

"Good night. I love you." I said just before I fell asleep.

"I love you too." Katniss said before I drifted out of consciousness.

A/N: Kinda short but I'll try to make them longer. Review please! :) -Flutemaniac98
