Hi! So here is chapter 2 and it is more of a 'romantic' chapter. I just had to do a chapter on the relationship between Katniss and Peeta but I promise you that this story will get intresting!


Peeta's POV:

"Come on, I'm going to teach you to cook, again." I say with a smile. I try to do everything possible to get her mind off the 'what ifs'. I will love my daughter as much as I love Katniss and I will never let anything happen to the two of them. I promise.

I tried teaching her the basics of cooking but as much as I love her, she cannot bake and she knows that. Yet she doesn't push me away when I try to teach her again. That's one thing I love about her.

I drag Katniss into the kitchen with me and I think about throwing her an apron, like the one I'm wearing but I don't think that it will fit her. Instead, I sit her on the stool while I go into the supply closet to get the ingredients. I grab the flower, sugar, eggs, and everything we need. When I walk back to Katniss, she is still sitting on the stool I left her on.

"What are we making today?" She asks suspiciously.

"We are making a cake!" I tell her excitingly. Personally, making cakes are my favorite thing to do and I love decorating them. She smiles and laughs.

"Attempt to make a cake," she corrects me. I lay out the ingredients on the counter and get a large bowl. Then Katniss gets off the stole and walks over to the counter.

"First, we pour the flour," I tell her as I give her a measuring cup. She takes the bag of flour and starts to pour it into the cup but she drops the bag and flour goes everywhere. I look down at the flour that covers me from head to toe and then I look at Katniss who is also covered in flour. We just stare at each other for a while, in disbelief, not knowing what to say.

I bend down and scoop some flour into my hands and then I stand up and inch my way towards Katniss. When I am only a few inches from her, I throw the flour at her. I laugh as she stands there like a statue looking down on the flour that I have just thrown on her.

"Peeta!" She squeals as she gathers flour into her hands. I know what's coming but before I can react, she throws the flour at my face. I wipe my eyes, clearing them from flour, and I see Katniss laughing about her victory. Is that how you want to play? I think. Well sweetheart, bring it on.

We both lunge at the nearest pile of flour and start throwing it at each other. It's so glad to see the smile on Katniss's face. I do everything possible to get her mind off the baby. Even if it means a 'food' or should I say 'flour' fight.

Finally, I end the flour fight by taking Katniss in my arms. She stops laughing and rests her head on my shoulder. I hold her for a while, taking in the moment. It's times like these when I realize how much I really love Katniss.

"I love you, Katniss," I say, even though I know that she already knows that.

"I love you too, Peeta," She replies back as she lifts up her head off my shoulders. Then her lips press against mine and kiss her back. We break apart and I place my hand gently on her stomach that holds our baby girl. Suddenly I feel a kick and I look up at Katniss. She smiling and I smile back. We kiss one more time before we start to clean up.

Katniss takes the broom while I wipe everything down. This takes a while since there is flour everywhere! When we are finally done, it is really late so I put the ingredient back. I guess we can make a cake next time. We put our coats on and then walk out of the bakery.

When we pass the square where the festival is, I see Gale and Delly strolling out of the crowd. They are looking happy together and… in love. I steer Katniss away from them, making sure she doesn't see Gale. He looks really happy with Delly and it looks like he loves her, so I'm sure that he's over Katniss. But I don't want him to see Katniss and me.

When we get home, Katniss jumps into the shower and I start to make dinner. I have it in the oven when Katniss comes down stairs.

"Okay, so dinner is in the oven and in 10 minutes, I need you to take it out." I tell her. She may not be able to bake but I know she can take something out of the oven. I go upstairs to take a quick shower. I don't want Katniss to eat dinner alone. I dress in a t-shirt and pants and then go downstairs to eat dinner.

Katniss has set the table and has candles lit. Dinner is in the middle of the table, steaming and smelling delicious. During dinner, we talk about the baby and her room, and things we need for her like clothes.

"I have the day off tomorrow so I can go buy some paint and we can go shopping for her furniture." I say and she nods in agreement.

"That sounds great, and then can we visit Prim and my mother?" She asks. I love visiting Prim. She adores me and I love her like a sister. And it hits me that I haven't seen her in a while.

"Of course! Maybe Prim would like to help us choose her furniture." I reply.

"Oh, I know she would love that!" She answers.

We finish dinner and Katniss offers to clean up but she already set the table and is looking a little unstable and tired. I tell her to go to bed and I will meet her there in a few minutes. And without argument, she marches upstairs.

I wash the dishes and safe the food into containers for leftovers. Then I head upstairs to meet Katniss in our bed. I walk in and already, she looks like she's sleeping. She looks so peaceful when she sleeps. Then she opens her eyes and I jump into bed. My arms wrap around Katniss and I pull her into me.

She gives me a good-night kiss and then blacks out.


Author's Note:

I hope you liked it! Please review! So I am planing to have the next chapter be a '2 months later' that way I can get to the birth of their baby in.. hmmm... hopefully chapter 4.

IF you have any idea on what to name Katniss and Peeta's baby girl, PLEASE tell me! PM me, or review. I was thinking about it having to do with plants because you know, Primrose, Rue, Katniss, they are all plant/flower names. So if you have any ideas, please share! Thanks!
