CHAPTER I
Katniss POV
The sunlight streamed through the window, which forced my eyes to open. I sighed; it was such a beautiful day. I turned around, expecting to see him by my side, but he wasn't. It was a Saturday today, so it was his turn to make breakfast. I wore my robe and quickly went downstairs.
Ellie, my big girl of 6, was busy coloring a picture, clearly annoyed by her brother Ben which is a year younger. Peeta, was busy making pancakes and cheese buns in the kitchen. It was a typical day in the Mellark household.
I sneaked up from behind my kids and surprised them with a loud GOOD MORNING!. "Mom!" they both screamed, which made me chuckle. I then head off to the kitchen, and hug my husband from behind, wrapping my arms around his waist. "Morning, Peeta." I greet him, softly kissing his neck. Peeta turns around suddenly, matching his lips with mine. "Morning, love." Peeta whispers, and kisses me once more. "Eewww!" Ellie shrieked, clearly disgusted with what her parents did. Ben, on the other hand, was busy messing with her sister's work. Peeta and I just laugh. "Come on squirts, let's eat."
Peeta's POV
We just finished eating when our doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Ellie shouted, and skipped off to the door. It opened, and I went numb. There he was, the guy that also tried to catch Katniss' heart-Gale.
Katniss' POV
I was shocked. I haven't seen him in a while, after what happened with Prim. Peeta must've sensed that I looked tense, so he quickly reached for my hand, and put his arm around my waist. "G-gale." I gulped. 'Wha-what are you doing here?" I asked. "I came to visit my best friend. Something wrong with that?" Gale said jokingly. I shake a little from hearing his voice. "So, you went here alone?" I was just trying to think of something to say. " No, I brought my fiancé. Jenny?" A petite girl appears from behind his back, smiling politely. He has a fiancé? He never- "Hi Katniss, I've heard a lot about you. And Peeta, of course. Nice to meet you." She says as we shake hands. "Nice to meet you too, Jenny, right?" Peeta asks, and also extends his hand for a shake. "Yes." She smiled shyly.
"Uhh, come in, better yet we introduce you to our kids." I say quietly. I felt Gale shift a little on the couch. "You-you have kids?" Gale asked, who must have not noticed that Ellie opened the door a while ago. "Yes, two actually. Ellie? Ben?" I call, and they both appear from Peeta's back. "This is Elliot, she's 6. And this is Ben, he's 5." Both of them wave shyly, and then scurry back to Peeta. "So, uhh, what brings you here?" Peeta asks. "Like I said, I wanted to visit my best friend. " Gale said. I just smiled. "But, besides that, we wanted to actually invite you to our, wedding." Jenny suddenly said. My eyes widen. Oh yeah, I forgot that she was his fiancée. "Wow, congratulations! Sure, we'd come." I said. "Thank you. Although, we'd like to kind of, stick around here for a while. I still have to talk to my mom and a few of my friends here in District 12. We'll be staying for about, two, three days. Is that fine?"Peeta looks at me oddly, like he didn't want to allow them to stay. "Sure! No problem." I say, and both Gale and Jenny smile. "Good! We'll continue our errands then. See you, Katniss, Peeta." Gale said as he and Jenny stood up. "Oh, and of course, see you little squirts." Gale said, ruffling both of their hair before leaving their house. Peeta closed the door, then sighed. "Ughhh, only daddy calls us squirts!" Ellie squealed. "And only daddy ruffles our hair!" Ben added, trying to fix his now messy blonde locks. "Guys, don't say that. Uncle Gale is a good friend, or best friend rather, of your mother. Respect, kiddos." Peeta said, as he kissed each of his foreheads. "Yup, your dad's right. Now come on, go to your rooms and rest. We'll be going out later." I said, and they quickly ran up stairs to their rooms.
Peeta and I just stare at each other, and without further discussion, we hug. I feel the warmth of his strong arms around my small body. Somehow, this is the move that's on top of her favorite gestures list, including his smooth caresses on my face, his hands going through my hair, and of course, his kisses. "You okay?" he asks. Ugh. All he worries about is me. "Yeah, I'm fine. But I saw the way you looked at me a while ago. Is there something wrong with Gale?" I ask, and he tries not to meet my eyes. I pull his chin up, forcing him to have eye contact with me. "It's- it's just that I think you shouldn't trust Gale." He said honestly. "Huh? Why? He's just- wait. Are you thinking that I might fall for him? Peeta, I chose you, didn't I? We're married now, and we have a family. And besides, he went here to invite us for his wedding, remember? He has a fiancée, Jenny. Don't be jealous, okay?" I say, and Peeta just nods. "Thanks Katniss, I just wanted to tell you how I felt. That was a big weight off my chest." He replies, and kisses me very softly on the lips. "Sure." I hug him back.
Peeta's POV
That heavy feeling is still in my chest. For some reason, I still don't trust him. I am not jealous, that's for sure, but I'm worried that Katniss might get hurt. I don't know, but I just feel that Gale didn't just come here to invite us to his wedding. I think he's planning on something more than that. Could he?
Okay, so I'm sorry that my concepts are kind of in different directions, because I'm doing this at 1 in the morning. I couldn't sleep so yeah. =)) I do chapters fast, so please review, if you want me to continue the story!
