ok so i know i haven't posted in like forever but i had a wedding to plan (mine) and i am writing a real novel which i am hoping will get published . i will finish this fan fic but sorry to say i have jumped ship i am totally into Cato & katniss which i might write one if i ever have the time :( ... i don't own any of the storyline or anything in it this was beta read by Lady mari-chan

It's been three months since that perfect evening in the bakery. And Katniss has grown rather round, rather quickly and quite restless. But she has always had that get up and go attitude.

"Peeta? "

I hear from the hallway of the house. I follow the sound of Katniss's voice . When I turn the corner she is rummaging through the closest.

"Darling, what are you looking for?"

She pauses to scowl at me then continues to rummage

"Where is my bow and quiver?" A wry smile spreads on my face . I cross my arms and lean against the wall

"I put it away. The midwife said no strenuous activities until you're out of the first trimester." Katniss lets out a long breath.I can tell the stress of inactivity is wearing on her.

"Peeta, I am fine. I can't sit around here and do nothing for the next 3 months."

Pushing away from the wall, I close the distance between us and pull her into my arms . She wraps her arms around my neck and begins to kiss me seductively and for a moment I forget myself and fall into the trap her kiss was setting. The pop of the button on the waistband of my jeans snaps me back to the moment. I break the kiss and pull back.

"We can't do that either until the midwife says it's safe." Her smile turns to that well known grimace that means she is upset again.

"This is totally unfair, now you're telling I can't hunt or go for hikes or even have sex to of occupy my time?"

Just as I opened my mouth to speak there is a knock on the front door, Katniss beats me in the race to open it "Hello sweetheart, I see I'm in time for the morning rant." Haymitch arrives to take the noon to 6pm shift of keeping Katniss out of trouble, while I have the 6pm to noon shift. I am training an apprentice so I don't always have to be at the shop. Haymitch has already arranged himself on the couch.

"I don't need a babysitter Peeta." I roll my eyes at this statement as I lean down to kiss her. I speak a promise with the kiss "I will have the midwife swing by later, ok?"
Katniss's face was alight with hope.

"I love you Peeta, see you tonight." My heart gets this sudden jolt when she looks in to my eyes and says those 3 little words. I kiss her again and as I pull away I whisper back "I love u too" .

I head down the road from the victors village. I can't wait to see the new shipment of strawberry's that have just come in. As I arrive I notice the truck is already unloading the strawberries. My new apprentice Sam has started to carrying some of the crates to the back. I walk in the back room to hang up my keys and put on my apron .

The rest the day goes smoothly, I had 3 birthday cake orders that I had to fill. And since cake decorating is my specialty I am the one who fills the orders. At 3 o'clock the midwife walks through the bakery door to buy a loaf of bread and a strawberry tart.

"I will handle this Sam, you go on to the back and finish your chores." Sam nods his head and walks past me as I approach the counter. I select a strawberry tart and finished packaging it . The Midwife watches and speaks to me

"Peeta I just came from your house and Katniss is doing well. She's out of the woods. She said she had some wonderful news for you when you got home." I was relieved to hear she's doing well and that we're out of the woods but I was curious to find out what's the news is.

I closed the bake case and went to finish the birthday day cakes requested for the day.

The other two cakes weren't needed until Friday and as its only Wednesday, I decide to finish them later. I leave the back room to look at the clock. 4:30pm. Time seems to move slowly when I have stuff on your mind.

I was tempted to ask Sam to stay until six but the customer flow had slowed so he went to the store room to put the shipment of flour away. It made me laugh seeing him lift only one 40lb sack when I could lift 2, but I have been doing this a long time .

After we had cleared the two stacks out back and placed them in the store room it was 5:20 . I let a sigh escape my lips when I noticed Sam speaking to me "Peeta, if u want to go home early I can close up."

Dropping my head a small sigh escapes my lips "Alright Sam u close up tonight. Don't worry about the cakes I will finish them. Also, don't forget the evening bread deliveries ." I finished go into the back to hang up my apron and leave.

It always seems that when you're expecting anything time slows down greatly. I am half way to the victors village when I hear yelling. I come up on my own house to see Katniss trying to shove Haymitch out the door.

"Really Haymitch, u can leave me alone for a few hours.'' Walking up onto the porch Katniss sees me and loses her focus long enough that the strength she was using on Haymitch falls away as he falls over.

''I've missed you Peeta and I have wonderful news!" This hint dropping is killing me .

'You go inside I will help Haymitch up."
Offering my hand I pull my old mentor off the ground and he is laughing.
"What is it Haymitch?'' Clapping his hand on my shoulder all he says is "Peeta my dear boy, pace yourself. '' He is already on his way when Katniss calling me to come up stairs.

I open the bedroom door. She reaches up to wrap her arms around my neck. I look deep into her eyes and the lusty fires are burning brightly. Within seconds our lips are crashing together and she is kissing me with untamed passion .We break the kiss long enough to remove our clothes while I kick the door shut behind me.

I, Peeta Mellark believe that perfect timing is everything. Not all the events of our lives have been perfect but timing is everything.
