Peeta pov

The next day after Willow is born, everyone come to see her. I've only held her once, that was right after she was born, but other than that, I haven't really gotten to hold her. Delly coos as she holds her. "She's so adorable! Oh my God, Peeta I'm so happy for you!"

I keep trying to ask if I can hold her, but Delly just won't shut up and goes on and on! So I give up and decide to got get something to drink. When I come back,Mrs. Everdean is holding her. I can't take her away from her because she's my mother-in-law. I sigh and go talk to Delly, which was a bad idea. I love Delly, but she can be loud and obnoxious. And she is very social, too social sometimes.

When I get away from Delly, I findHaymitch holding Willow out saying,"why am I holding this?"

I go to get her but Katniss takes her so she can feed her. When finally she is done feeding her, I take her and hold my beautiful baby. She coos in my arms and reaches for my finger. I kiss her forehead and hold her to me.

That's when Delly comes up to me.

"Can I ho-"

"NO!"I say and then smile at my beautiful baby. I've been waiting to hold her all day.


Katniss and I sit on the bed with Willow in our arms when Buttercup hops up on the bed and sits by us. He meows at me and the curiously looks at the baby. Then he sticks his paw out and puts in on her head.

He meows at her and circles over to my side. I scratch his head which causes him to purr.

"Do you think he likes the baby?"I ask.

"Not as soon as she starts to walk." She says.


Katniss pov

I'm looking for Peeta when I see something out of the window. I see his bright blonde hair shinning with the sun. I see him laying under the tree in the backyard with Willow on his chest. She sleeps peacefully with Peeta.

I smile at him and think how wonderful of a father he is.

I watch from the window as they sleep. After I make lunch, I take our plates outside and set mine on the ground next to him and then shake him awake. She opens his eyes, dazed and confused until he sees his surroundings. He smiles at the baby, still peacefully asleep in his arms, and then me.

I hand him his plate and after we eat, I curl up with them.

We all end up sleeping peacefully in our backyard until one ofHaymitch's geese gets out and wakes us up with a loud honk. I hold the baby, trying to calm her, while Peeta chases after the goose. When comes back, he takes Willow in his arms and decides that maybe we should nap inside.

As we lay in bed, I thank God for my beautiful healthy baby, and my wonderful loving husband.
