Katniss pov
I we wake up the next day,I find peeta cooking while Gale and willow play. She is so silly. I walk up to her and kiss her forehead."Hey sweetie"I say. She hugs my leg and says"morning mommy"
"Morning Gale"I say to him. He looks up from their little game and says"morning catnip".
Peeta walks in saying"breakfast is ready. Good morning beautiful."He kisses me and then we walk into the kitchen. He made us waffles.
When I go to sit down I feel another sharp pain in my lower back. He's definitely coming today or tomorrow. Peeta notices my face and says"katniss are you in pain,is there anything I can do?"
"He's definitely coming today or tomorrow,but no there's nothing you can do"I kiss him because he is such a great husband."I love you"
"I love you too katniss"he says with a smile."We should probably call your mom today though."
I agree and when we finish we do. Willow is showing Gale all her toys and he paintings that she painted with peeta. He laughs at her excitement and follows her.
I sit on the couch while peeta talks to my mom. Gale comes and sits next to me."how are you feeling catnip?" He asks.
"Well it's not to pleasant."I inform him. He laughs and says I wouldn't expect it to be. "I laugh with him.
"Do you ever take her to the woods?"He asks me. I smile"yeah she loves it. Soon I will teach her to hunt. She knows how to swim and I teach her what plants to eat. Like my dad would do to me."
"That's good,I'm happy that wasn't destroyed. Because you can't remake those places,especially when they hold memories."I nod to what he says.
"Yeah I'm happy to be able to bring my family there. And now we don't even have to worry about getting caught. I'm happy they'll get to grow up in a better place than we did."
"Maybe some day I'll have kids to bring to the meadow. I did say that I would have kids if I didn't live in a world with the hunger games"
"Yeah,I remember you saying that"I say as I sit there rubbing my huge stomach. I feel another really sharp pain and I cry out. Peeta and my mother run into the room.
"I think he's coming"I pant to peeta. He smiles this beautiful smile at me "then we should get you to the room your delivering in"my mom says. Peeta helps me up and helps me to our room. Gale quickly calls haymitch to watch willow for me.
My mom starts to prepare everything and explains to peeta and Gale what she needs them to do. As everything is being layed out my water finally breaks. Peeta cleans me up and helps me to the bed.
When my mom takes a look she tells me"your already dilated. On the next contraction your pushing." Peeta and Gale each grab a leg and hold it back while I push. I can feel him coming quickly. Three pushes later the head is out. Two more,he is out. He came definitely quicker than willow did.
The room is filled with his cries as Peeta cuts the umbilical cord. Tears are streaming down both our faces. He places him in my arms and I smile. I kiss his small fragile forehead.
"Hello rye"I say finally announcing the name,since we kept it a secret. "His name is rye finnick mellark." My mom smiles at us,"that's a beautiful name"
"It's peetas middle name"I say. He then opens his eyes,he has my eyes already you can tell. Peetas blonde hair.
"He has your eyes"peeta observes."your hair"I say. "Here hold him"and hand rye to peeta. He smiles so brightly."Thank you katniss for giving me the best,most wonderful children in the world."
"You deserve to be a father"I tell him. That's when haymitch brings willow in."congratulation you guys,stay alive" I laugh along with peeta. My mom and Gale look confused at our little joke.
"Thanks haymitch"
"Anytime kid,sweetheart"
"Mommy!"willow says and runs towards me."Hey baby,this is your brother rye."I say to her. She climbs up with me and peeta hands him to me while he shows her how to hold him. Then I hand him to her."careful"
"I'm a big sister?"She asks. I smile and say"yes"
"Are you a sister?"
"I was"I say with tears in my eyes. I feel peetas hands on my shoulders. When I look at Gale he has tears to. My mom is about to lose it,we haven't talked about prim for a while.
"What happened?"She asks me. I sigh and feel a tear roll down my face." She isn't with us any more, she's up with your grandpa and your grandparents and uncles."
"Oh. Is daddy a sister" we laugh,she easily brightens the room."No daddy was a brother"
"Oh"
I watch as willow holds rye,then my mother,then Gale,then haymitch. Each one marvel at his cuteness. I love my family. That night when peeta and I are laying in bed I tell him how much I love and appreciate him.
"Always"
