It sings.
The rhythmic vocals of the white and black bird sound, repeating the emotionless girl.
She sings.
Thin black hair tied in a practical braid, worn grey eyes lost in the darkening fall sky. Katniss rocks effortlessly in her creaky wooden rocking chair that lies on the porch infront of her home, rubbing her stomach in a gentle pattern, her beautiful voice hanging in the foggy air. "Deep in the meadow," she starts, and as the lyrics lengthen, she eventually loses herself in the song aswell.
The night sky is dawning when she feels another set of hands on her stomach. Her ghostly gaze is followed upwards to find company. Thick blond curls, sparkling blue eyes. Comfort fell upon her. "Hi," she murmurs blandly. Peeta smiles half-heartedly. "Keep singing," he says sweetly, "I think the baby likes it."
In response comes a twitchy smile sprawled across Katniss's face. Smiling wasn't common for her. She wasn't used to it.
"We need a name," Peeta states after a few songs. A sudden warmth bursts through Katniss. Her new baby girl would need a name. She pauses, and then looks into Peeta's kind eyes. "Azure," she declares, approving her decision. "I want to be reminded of you every time I see her. That she is not just mine, but ours." Peeta idly scratches his chin, taking his wife's name suggestion in. "I don't understand what 'azure' has to do with me. With us," he replies, scrunching his eyebrows.
"Your pure azure eyes."
"Then it's settled," he says, hands resting more comfortably on Katniss's round stomach. "Our daughter will be pure."
Katniss's smile remains as she eases into slumber, Peeta still beside her. He gradually stands and picks up Katniss is his strong arms, and carries her bridal style to their room. He places her on the square bed, and covers her with a heavy quilt. He watches silently as she stirs, and eventually screams. But it doesn't take long for her to realize that there's no harm because he's there to protect her. And the baby.
And it's all she could ask for.
Bah, this chapter is so short! I'll make the other chapers longer.
So, if any of you are reading this story and actually plan on sticking with it until it's finished, this will only consist of three chapter. So unfortuantly there won't be much to it. But I would still love for you all to continue reading, and if you have the time please review! (:
