"Mummy?" My little girl squeaks as she climbs onto my bed giggling.
"are you awake?" she asks.
"I am now." I groan, Lotus Wakes me up only every saturday so we can go into the woods as early as possible, but I am glad she only wakes me on saturdays not everyday.
"Lotus," My loving husband shouts from downstairs "what have I told you about waking up mummy." He calls.
Lotus giggles and runs down the hall and down the stairs and starts running around the kitchen I can tell she's running because I can hear her little 5 year old feet tapping against the cold, hard floorboards, and Peeta's loud, stopping footsteps following after, trying to make sure she doesn't knock anything over.
I get Out of the warmth of my bed and get dressed into jeans and my hunting jacket, and go down stairs into the mayhem that is my life.
"Morning Katniss." Peeta says kissing my cheek and cooking eggs for Me, Lotus and himself.
"Morning." I answer back.
"Hello Lotus, Hello Valerian." I say Kissing there foreheads.
"Hi Mummy." Lotus Squeaks with her usual warm Grin, which is just like Peeta's. I get some strawberries, Blueberries and raspberries and add yogurt to them and give it to Valerian. he immediately inhales it (he loves his berries). I chuckle.
He smiles and me with his grey eyes fixed to mine. When he's finished he reaches out his arms gesturing for me to pick him up. (He can speak he just doesn't do it very much he is quite shy, but He is so overly attached to me, which is weird because I always thought Peeta was the preferred parent or at least he is for Lotus.) I take him Into My arms and hold him close, I don't think He didn't have a very good sleep last night because he is on the verge of crying. So I pace back and fourth in the hallway and he falls asleep in my arms. thats when I heard a knock on the door.
"I'll get it!" Lotus shouts running towards the door.
"Hello?" I hear her say from the living room.
"Who are you." She says. I chuckle at this statement.
"Well I suppose you can Come in." she says running back towards the kitchen with someone with loud steps following her. I go into the kitchen to see who it is. my heart stops when I see someone I haven't seen in 20 years.
Gale.
