Hey guys, everlark2004 here with another chapter. The chapters are a little short but they will get longer as I write more. Enjoy
Katniss lied on the couch watching TV. She was uncomfortable and bored. The baby was a week overdue and Katniss was tired of waiting. She wanted to be able to hunt again and not have a gigantic stomach.
Peeta took the week off from working at the bakery to help her and keep her company. Her head laid on Peeta's lap while he sketched in his notebook.
Katniss was just flipping through channels when she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She let out a small cry. The pain was getting worse and worse and water rippled down her legs.
"Peeta I think it's time!" she yelled.
Peeta quickly set down his notebook and scooped Katniss up in his arms. He quickly rushed her to a small hospital.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Peeta held Katniss's hand and whispered soothing words into her ears to help distract from the pain. He was anxious to meet his baby girl. Soon their baby girl was born and her cries filled the room.
The nurses quickly cleaned her, put her into clothes, and wrapped her in a blanket. The baby girl was handed to Katniss. She smiled at her child. The baby's cries came to a stop. She opened her eyes to revel Peeta's brilliant blue eyes.
"She has your eyes" Katniss beamed.
A smile spread across Peeta's face. The baby girl cooed and reached her tiny hand up towards Peeta.
"I think she wants to meet her father" Katniss said.
She gave her baby to Peeta.
"Hi there baby girl" He said happily.
His heart melted at the sight of her. He placed a small kiss on her forehead.
"She's perfect" Peeta claimed.
"What's her name?" a nurse asked.
Katniss and Peeta both looked at each other and said.
"Rylee Rose Mellark".
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
The first night with the baby was not so pleasant. It seemed like every thirty minutes she was crying. Peeta and katniss took turns getting up to see what the baby wanted.
Peeta and Katniss laid peacefully together in bed when the baby started to cry again. Katniss tapped Peeta's shoulder.
"Your turn" she mumbled sleepily.
Peeta groand and got up. He picked up Rylee out of the cradle.
"Shhhh" he shushed as he lightly bounced her.
She wasn't hungry and her diaper wasn't full. Peeta sat on the edge of his bed with his little girl.
"It's ok little Rylee, your safe with us".
The baby's cries became softer.
"Katniss can you sing her a lullaby to help her go to sleep" Peeta asked.
Katniss got up and rubbed her eyes. "Fine" she said in a sleepy tone.
She rested her head on Peeta's shoulder and sang a lullaby.
Deep in the meadow under the Willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head and close your eyes
And when they open the sun will rise
Rylee was completely quiet. So was Peeta, who fell asleep. Katniss scooped Rylee out of Peeta's arms and placed her back in her cradle and kissed her forehead.
"Goodnight, baby girl, I love you" she said.
She climbed back in her bed. She kissed Peeta's forehead too.
"I love you too".
