Revenge
The little things that Matter
Peeta's POV:
I wake up with Katniss sleeping peacefully next to me. I want to stay with her and watch her sleep till she wakes up, but today is May 8th, her birthday and I want to get up and do something nice for her. I roll out of bed and head down stairs to the kitchen and take out fresh cheese buns I made last night. Then I scramble some eggs and make her some toast with butter and jelly. I started pouring her some orange juice when I hear the door open and someone walking in. Only one person I know that never uses the doorbell or knocks.
Haymitch.
I was right Haymitch walks in to the kitchen carry a box wrapped in orange wrapping paper. He remembered. "Good morning, you woke up early" I said as I was placing Katniss's breakfast on a tray.
"You don't think I would miss Katniss's little surprise party would you." He started to say. "Who did you invite?"
It's not a surprise party; I just invited some of her old friends and family. "Well I invited Gale, even though I am not that fond of him. Katniss hasn't seen him for a while. I also invited her mom, she finally decided to stop shutting people out. I hope this doesn't bother you too much either, Effie Trinket is invited along with her old prep team and Plutarch but he still hasn't responded yet."
Haymitch doesn't talk for a while. He is probably thinking over the list. I pick up the tray that carries Katniss's breakfast and start to head up stairs leaving Haymitch still in the kitchen.
Katniss's POV:
I wake up without Peeta in bed with me. I cant help but to worry. My mine starts to go though all the terrible things that could of happened to him. Then he walks though my door carrying a tray filled with all my favorite breakfast foods. It takes me a minute to think of what the special event is but then I read the card that's on Peeta's tray; Happy Birthday. Its May 8th, my birthday.
"Happy birthday, sweetheart." He wishes me as he sits down and places the tray on my lap.
I don't say anything at first. I just pick up the card. It read,
Wishes and dreams come true on this day
Happy Birthday to you my dearest sweetheart
The card was so nice then at the bottom he wrote,
I love you
Always
I put down the card and at him with a smile on my face. Even though the card didn't say much it meant the world to me. It's the little things that matter.
I give him a kiss on the cheek and he gave me one too. Then across the hall we hear Artisan wake up. Artisan is our little boy. He is still a toddler with blond curls and gray eyes. Then we have our daughter that is a little bit older than Artisan. Her name is Rosa Bonica with dark hair and blue eyes. "I'll get him up you start eating your breakfast I will be right back." Peeta said leaving the room. He is so sweet.
I start with the cheese buns that I am in love with. Then is poke though my scramble egg that I take a bite once in a while, I take a couple bites of my toast when Peeta return.
"Where are the kids now?" I ask
"Haymitch is making breakfast for them in the kitchen." Peeta says. Every time I hear that Haymitch is with the kids it makes me worried. He's a nice guy and I like him but him with a 5 year old and a 2 year old make me worried.
When I finish, Peeta leaves the room and I get ready for the day. I jump in the shower, after that I get dressed in a dark purple V-neck and navy blue jeans. Then I go back into the bathroom and braid my hair in a French braid down my back. When I am done I go down stairs and find Artisan and Bonica sitting at the table each holding a present.
"Happy Birthday" The two yell. They're so cute. Then Peeta invites me to sit next to him. They're all eating cheese buns that Peeta made. Wow Haymitch really knows how to cook.
"Open my present first" Bonica says to me while handing me a present wrapped in white paper with purple and blue balloons on it. I rip it open and inside was a wooden frame with our family picture in it. I thanked Bonica then Artisan handed me his present. It was in a light green birthday bag with yellow tissue paper in it. I toke out the tissue paper and find a little black velvet box, inside the box is a necklaces with a bow and arrow on it. I thanked Artisan when the door bell rang. Peeta got up to get it.
"Katniss" I hear a familiar voice call. I turned around to see Gale standing by the doorway with Peeta behind him.
"Gale" I said getting up to greet him with a hug. "You came I haven't seen you in forever. The last time I heard from you was when you got a new job in another district. I missed you"
"I missed you too" He said letting go of my hug.
He sits down at the table with us looking at Haymitch then Bonica and Artisan, then Peeta and me. I got a lot to explain.
"I heard that you and Peeta got married and then…" He stopped looking at Bonica and Artisan
"Had kids" I finished "this is Bonica and Artisan"
"I thought you said you were…" Peeta stopped Gale.
"It toke a while for her to agree. But I did it" Peeta said.
We spent an hour talking and catching up when…
