I'm Ready

I open my eyes to find that during the night, Peeta managed to wrap his arms around me. He must have done it as an attempt to calm me after my nightmare undoubtedly woke him up. I know I was screaming even though I don't think I was ever fully conscious. It was Rue and Prim this time. They were being taken away to the Capitol. They were both crying and screaming my name, trying to get me to save them. I tried, oh did I try. But some force just kept me standing there doing nothing of any good besides bawling and hitting at nothing. Shrieking out their names and begging for them back. Eventually they were gone and everything went black. I guess that's when it ended, because the next thing I remember is waking up just now. I know I dream about them a lot, but I can't seem to shake this nightmare from a connection with the choice I made last night. Two children that I love being taken from me. I guess that dream was my mind's showing me how scared it is about this. I have to ignore it though. I already made the decision, and decided why it would be a good thing. So I guess now all I have to do is tell Peeta. Shouldn't be hard right? I mean this is all he's been wanting for years….

I turn over to face him. He wakes a little at my movement. He looks so peaceful and placid. His blond hair falling just down to his eyebrows, eyes flicking a bit. When he speaks, his voice is calm and loving.

"Hey." He smiles slightly. "You were screaming pretty loud last night, you ok?" I suddenly feel sorry for waking him, remembering how tired he was when he came back to bed last night.

"Yeah I'm ok. I'm sorry. I feel bad about waking you up." Oh wow, my voice is so hoarse.

"No Katniss, don't worry about me, besides after I put my arms around you, you stopped, so I was happy I helped you out of it."

"Oh, well thank you, Peeta. I love you." I lean forward and kiss him on the lips. At first he seems surprised, but he easily adjusts. I just feel so obligated to repay him for all of the pain I've caused him that I would like to tell him that I love him a million more times. But I figure that if I keep this kiss going, then just that once will be enough. I put both my arms around him and he tightens his around me. Our kiss deepens until with both have to stop for air. He smiles and presses his forehead into mine.

"What was that for?" He asks me. He knows there is usually a reason behind it whenever I initiate a kiss like that. Well better now than never right? I pause for one last moment before looking him dead in the eye.

"Peeta, I have something very important to tell you." My tone must have become more serious than I thought because he is listening not only intently, but with a look of alertness on his face. I take a deep breath, just say it Katniss, I tell myself. "Peeta, I'm ready to have a baby with you."

His face goes immediately in two directions. Part of him looks like I've just told him the most remarkable thing he's ever heard, and the other part looks quizzical. I guess after my constant pessimistic attitude over this topic over a long period of time, this would come as a shock, so I feel the need to explain. I tell him my philosophy on how this family will help us to move on in a way, you know, start new chapter in out lives. And just for reassurance I tell him that this is not the first time I've thought about saying yes. Yes, it's a lie, but what does that really matter now? He listens carfully, but when I finish speaking he barley gives himself the time to nod his head before kissing me again. He is so excited that I have to laugh a little. At that very moment, I'm happy, for him, for me, for this choice. I feel really good about this now. So when Peeta looks up from our kiss and says

"Ok, lets have a baby" with a positively elated voice, I don't feel any fear for what's to come.

YAYY! Ok, I promise longer chapters will come, but I REALLY wanted to get this up tonight. Who knows maybe the second chapter will be up late tonight too. So PLEASE review and thank sooooo much for reading!
