Author's Note: We passed the 100 reviews. Omg. You people, I- I just love you. :) Like seriously, without you I wouldn't have finished this fanfic, might not have even gotten past chapter 1. So thank you all for that.*Applauds* By the way, some people suggested names for Katniss' mom, but I once read a fanfic, like really long ago, and her name was Suzanne and since then for me her name has been Suzanne, so I'm just gonna use that. Sorry if you don't like the name! But anyway, here's chapter 14! Starting with a short Peeta's POV.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Hunger Games. Suzanne Collins is the owner of this amazing trilogy. This story is mine, although the characters are not.

Chapter 14

Peeta's POV

I woke up and saw Katniss was nearly lying on top of me. The quilts were on the floor and Katniss had one of her legs on top of mine. Her arms were on my chest, while my hand was on her waist. My god, I really wouldn't mind waking up like this every morning.

Suddenly someone opened the door and was walking in. "Peeta, where's my black pants?" Leo stood in the middle of the room and then saw us. Katniss had woken up because he was so loud. "Dude, did you get lucky?" He grinned at me. I grabbed my pillow and threw it at him. I then pulled the quilt over Katniss' body. I didn't want Leo to have seen her nearly naked.

"Okay, okay, nevermind. I'll come back later, when your.. dressed." He says and walks out, closing the door behind him. I turn my head and see Katniss is blushing. "Morning." I say and brush her cheek with my thumb. "Sorry about that. My brother's don't know how to knock, or what privacy is." She chuckles and gives me a quick kiss. "Morning." She then says with a husky voice.

I stand up and rub my eyes. Everything seems so unrealistic. I just stepped out of bed. I wasn't wearing pajamas. Katniss was in my room. She wasn't in pajamas. We had slept in the same bed. The bed in my bedroom. Aw yeah.

She gets up and quickly puts on her clothes. "Why are you rushing?" I ask a bit confused. "Did you forget? Prim's coming back today." She says with a grin. She probably couldn't wait to see her little sister again. I nod and put on some clothes as well. We go to the bathroom and do our teeth. She braids her hair. And when I think she's going to leave, she turns around. "Do you want to come with me?" She asks.

"I'd love too." I say and grab her hand.

Katniss' POV

He grabs my hand and we walk over to my house. I see my mother through the kitchen window. Ugh. I just wanted her to go to work again. I open the front door and let Peeta in. We walk to the living room. We sit on the sofa, and my mother comes in. "Katniss, where were you last night?" She asks. "Peeta's house." I glare at her. She looks shocked. She probably thinks we're sleeping together.

"Sorry Mrs. Everdeen, it was all my idea." Peeta says and smiles at her. My mother looks at Peeta. "Just- okay." She sighs and walks back to the kitchen, closing the door. "You didn't have to say that." I say to Peeta. He shrugs. "It's okay. I'd rather have her blame me than you." He says. I brush his cheek with my hand. He was perfect.

I give him a short kiss when the doorbell rings. I jump off the sofa and run to the door. I open it to find Prim, Rue and Rue's mother standing there. "Katniss!" Prim squeals and gives me a big hug. I pat her head. "Hiya Prim. How was District 11?" I ask. "It was amazing!" She says and walks in, telling me the whole story. "Would you like to come in?" I ask Rue and her mother. "Oh, well.. Okay, why not." She smiles and they walk in. I close the door and walk back to the living room.

I walk in and see Prim is nearly in Peeta's face, telling him about District 11. Peeta just smiles at her and nods so now and then, saying something like 'Really?' and 'Wow, that's cool!'. I grin at him and give him a thumbs up. He winks and looks at Prim again. My mother then walks out of the kitchen. She walks towards Rue's mother. She looks hesitant. She has no idea who they are.

"Mom?" Prim turns around and looks shocked. My mother nods. Prim smiles at her and gives her a small hug. "Mom, this is Rue. She moved here from District 11. We've become best friends. And this is her mother," she gestures towards Rue's mother, "they took me to District 11 for a few days." My mother nods again and shakes Rue's mother's hand. "Nice to meet you." She says.

"Would you like some coffee?" My mother asks. "Oh, yes please." Rue's mother says as they walk towards the kitchen. I sit down next to Peeta and he holds my hand. Prim and Rue sit on the floor in front of us. They then tell us about their adventures, not leaving out any details. If you only heard them talking, you'd think they were twins. They kept finishing each others sentences. When they were finished, they grinned at each other.

"So what did you two do?" Prim then asked. I told her about everything. Except for the kissing and the sleeping-in-the-same-bed parts. Prim then looked at our hands. "So you two are officially dating now?" She then asks, grinning with her eyebrows raised. I blush. I don't like talking about these sorts of things with my baby sister. Peeta nods at her. Prim and Rue both get happy and clap their hands. "You two are the cutest couple ever!" Rue says.

"Aren't we?" Peeta teases. I laugh and hit his arm. Rue and Prim laugh as well. Then they go up to Prim's room to play. Peeta pulls me into his arms and says something. "Don't you just love little kids? They're so adorable!" I chuckle. "I think you're going to have, like, 30 or something when you get married." He blushes and leans towards me. "Depends on how many you want." he then whispers in my ear. Oh my god, he just literally said he wanted to marry me and have children.

I feel my cheeks redden and look down. He puts his thumb under my chin and turns my head. He then kisses me. I let him kiss me for a moment and then pull away. He looks at me with hurt eyes. "Not when my mom and Rue's mom are around the corner, and Prim and Rue are upstairs." I whisper. He sighs. "Okay." He gives me one more short kiss and then leans back.

Rue then comes back down again. "Katniss, can I talk to you for a second?" She asks. "Sure, come in. What's wrong? Are you and Prim okay?" I ask, suddenly feeling worried. "Oh yes, yes, we're fine. Only, Prim told me it was her birthday in three days, so I was just wondering if we could organize a small surprise party." She smiles. That isn't such a bad idea. It would make Prim really happy.

"Okay, sounds good. Shall we keep it here?" I ask. Rue nods. "I was thinking you and I could decorate the place while Peeta goes to town with her to buy some ingredients for cookies or something." She says. Peeta nods. "It wouldn't be a big party. Just us and some of her other friends. Can we do it?" "Of course." I say and grin. This would be fun. Rue says thanks and then goes back up to Prim.

After a while Rue's mother takes Rue home and Peeta says he better get home too. I sigh. Did he have to leave? I walk outside with him and stop on my porch. He turns around. He holds my head between his hands and leans his head against mine. "I love you. Will I see you tomorrow?" He asks. "I know, you tell me often enough, and yes." He chuckles and gives me a long kiss. He then walks back to his house and I turn around.

My mother is looking at me through the window, with a concerned look on her face. She was watching Peeta and I kiss. I walk into the house and into the kitchen. Before I try to yell, she puts up her hand. "Listen. I know what you're thinking. But I'm just really concerned about your relationship with Peeta." She says. My eyes turn into slits. "What do you mean?" I ask.

"When I was you age, I fell in love with his father, Jonathan. We were just as close as you two are right now. I'm just scared that one of you will be heartbroken if the other leaves." She says. "I'd never leave Peeta. And he'd never leave me." I say and turn around. "But Katniss-" I close my bedroom door behind me and fall into a deep sleep.

Skipping three days, it is now Prim's birthday.

"Happy Birthday Prim!" I say as I run into the living room and give her a hug. "Thanks!" She says. She's wearing a flowery dress again. Her hair is flowing down her shoulders naturally. She looks wonderful. "My little duck is 13 already.." I say and tuck her hair behind her ear. She smiles. "Prim, can you do something for me? Can you take this letter to town?" I ask. "Of course, I was going to go to get some sweets anyway." She grins. Then the doorbell goes.

It's all going according to our plan. I open the door and act surprised. "Hi Peeta, what are you doing here?" He winks at me. "Oh I was just wondering if you or Prim would like to go to town with me. I have to get some frosting for my cake." Prim walks around the corner, she heard our whole conversation. "I'll go with you Peeta, I was just about to leave." She says and walks over to us.

"Prim! Happy Birthday!" Peeta yells and twirls Prim into the air. He then puts her down and grins. "Thanks. Now let's go." She says and they walk away. "See you later Katniss!" They both yell. I wave at them and close the door. About 5 minutes later, someone knocks on the door again. I open the door and Rue walks in, holding a big bag full of balloons and decorations. "Let's do this." She says and we walk into the living room.

Peeta's POV

My task was to keep Prim in town for two hours. That should be easy enough. I liked my task. It was nice to talk to Prim. We were walking towards town when she asked me something. "You love Katniss, don't you?" It didn't sound like she meant it as a question, she said it matter-of-factly. I nod. "Good. Katniss needs someone like you in her life. She's been much happier since the day she met you." She says and smiles at me. It was nice to hear that.

We get into town and post her letter. I saw it was from that Gale-guy. I totally trusted Katniss, I just didn't really trust him. He seemed a bit.. I don't know. We then went to the candy shop. Prim chose some sweets and was about to pay for them, but I wouldn't let her. "Prim, it's your birthday, let me." She shook her head. "Peeta, it's fine." I quickly gave some money to the cashier. She glared at me and I laughed. She looked just like Katniss when she did that. She sighed. "Thank you Peeta." She said and gave me a quick hug.

We then walked into the local bakery. There was a wall with different types of frosting, different tastes and colors. "So what color are you looking for?" Prim asks. If we get it now, we'll be back to early, so I say a color they don't have here. "Um, I'm looking for.. a light orange." I say. She looks at the wall. "Oh. It doesn't look like they have it. I'll ask the baker if he has one inside." She says and talks to the baker. He nods and goes into the back room. He then comes back with some frosting and hands it to Prim.

Prim smiles and walks over to me. "Look, Peeta, I found the color you want." She hands me the frosting. It's a bright orange, just like I wanted. Shit. "Oh, great! But, wait a second.. I think there's artificial colors in this. I need something more.. biological. Then, the um, cake, tastes better." Prim gives me a confused look. "Oh. Okay, I'll give this back and we can look somewhere else." She walks off and I sigh. This might be harder than I thought.

We walk out again and into a different store. Again, she goes to the owner and asks for a 'non-artificial light orange frosting'. Of course, he comes back with just what we need. "Found it, Peeta!" She says and smiles. Great. "Oh, thanks Prim." I pay for it and we walk out. "Oh, Prim, I almost forgot, I also need some.. socks." Seriously, socks?, I think to myself. But it was the only thing I could come up with. "Socks?" She asks, laughing. "Yeah, socks. I need some warm socks, because it will be winter in no time, and I want to be prepared."

I don't know how I managed to keep a straight face. Prim nodded with a smile. "Okay, let's go look for your.. socks then." She says and I follow her into a few clothes stores. Surely enough, she quickly finds the perfect, warm, socks. I end up buying them. I still need to keep her here for another half an hour or so. So I do the first thing that comes to mind.

"Ow! Ow, my ankle! Oh my god, ow ow ow, I can't walk!" I say and fall over. Prim looks shocked and bends over me. "What's wrong?" She says and tries to help me up. "I- I don't know. I suddenly fell and now my ankle hurts. I don't think I can walk." She helps me over to a bench. She softly pulls my shoe off and examines my ankle. "Hmm.. nothing seems wrong with it." She says. Oh yeah, I forgot, I'm dealing with junior-doctor Everdeen. "I think I just twisted it or something. It'll be okay." I say. She nods. We sit there for a while and talk.

After about 15 minutes I tell her I think it's okay again. She slowly helps me up and I put my foot on the ground softly. I then slowly begin to walk. "Good, it seems fine again. We can go home now." She says. "Yeah, but it still hurts a bit so we'll have to walk slowly." I say. She nods and puts one of her arms through mine. We should be home just on time.

Katniss' POV

Rue and I had finally finished decorating. The living room looked amazing. There were hundreds of balloons everywhere, big signs saying 'Happy Birthday Prim!' that Rue made herself, and a lot of banners and streamers. My mother had even helped blow up some balloons.

We had another half an hour before Peeta and Prim came back. Then Prim's friends knocked on the door. I let them in. There were two little girls and two boys. Rue said hi to all of them and introduced us. She told me all their names, but I couldn't really remember any of them. ".. And this is Katniss, Prim's sister." She then said. The kids smiled at me and waved. I smiled back at them and told them what the plan was. They nodded and put the presents in the living room, on the table.

We sat on the sofa for about 20 minutes. Then someone knocked on the door. The kids ran and hide. I then casually went to open the door. "Hi Prim. Have fun with Peeta?" "Yeah, we finally found his frosting and his socks." She then started to walk in. I looked at Peeta with curious eyes. Socks? He winked at me and walked in. We walked behind Prim. She opened the living room door and stepped in. "Surprise!" The kids yelled as they jumped from behind the sofa. Prim looked shocked. She looked at her friends and the decorations and the presents. "Oh my.. what.. wh- I-" She stuttered. "Happy Birthday Prim!" I say and give her a hug. "Thank you" She says softly and walks over to her friends.

They chat for a while and then we all sit on the sofa. We, as in Peeta, Rue, Prim, her friends and me. "Present time!" Rue says and hands Prim her first present. It's a photo frame, with in it a beautiful picture of Rue and Prim playing in a meadow. "Thank you Rue!" Prim says and gives her a hug. Then her other friends give her her presents. She gets bracelets, necklaces, a movie and even a pretty collar for Buttercup. Then it's time for my present. I smile and hold Peeta's hand.

"Peeta and I made you your present. It took a long time, and I hope you like it." Peeta goes into the kitchen and then comes back with a gigantic cake. It was pink and had Primroses on it. Her eyes widened. "Thank you!" She says and gives us both a hug. I then cut the cake and give everyone a slice. "Peeta, we did a pretty good job." I say when I have some. It's delicious. Peeta had done most of it, but I had helped when I could. My mother then walks in and has some cake with us. We all chat for a while. Then someone knocks on the door.

"I'll get it." I say and walk to to the front door. I open it and find a smiling Mr. Mellark. "Hi Katniss! I was just wondering if I could come in for a minute, I'd like to wish Prim a happy birthday and give her these." He says, holding up a bag of muffins. "Of course, come in." I say and let him in. We walk into the living room. My mother turns around and gasps. She stands up and walks over to us. I walk to Peeta and hold his hand. The children are still talking loudly and playing, but Peeta and I are frozen and silent, watching our parents' every move.

"Jonathan" My mother says softly. "Suzanne.. How have you been?" "Um, fine, how about you?" I nearly snort. My mother hadn't been anything near fine. "Yes, fine, fine." He says. They then stand there awkwardly. Peeta's father then turns around. "Hiya Prim, happy birthday!" Prim walks over to him and gives him a short hug. "Thanks!" "Here, these are for you." He says and hands her the bag. "Oh, my favorite, thank you!" She says and gives him another hug. He chuckles. "You're welcome Prim. Have a lovely day." Prim smiles and turns around again.

Then Peeta's father turns to my mother. "I better get going. It was nice seeing you, Suzanne." He touches her arm. My mother looks shocked. "Y- Yeah, nice seeing you too." She says and Mr. Mellark walks past her. "Bye Katniss, Peeta." He waves at us and then walks out. My mother still looks shocked. She then looks at me with wide eyes. She grabs her slice of cake and nearly runs into the kitchen. Okay..

After another few hours it gets late, so the party ends. Prim says goodbye to all of her friends, thanking them all for the presents. She then goes straight to bed. She must be really tired. Peeta grabs my hand and pulls me up to my bedroom. He closes the door behind him. "Peeta, I'd love it if you stayed here for the night but you can't." I say. He nods and grins mischievously. "Oh, I know, I just want to do one small thing I haven't done all day." He walks over to me and kisses me. I put my arms around his neck. Suddenly, his hands are on my bum. He pulls me up and I put my legs around his waist. His hands stay where they are, and for some strange reason, I don't mind at all. In fact, I like that they're there.

Peeta slowly walks over to the wall and pushes my back to it. He then pushes his body close to mine. He's nearly squashing me, but I like it. The closer the better. After a while he let's me down and pulls away. I'm instantly longing for more. "Katniss, I better go, your mum might think certain things if we stay up here too long." I understand and nod. I give him one last kiss, and he walks to the door. Before he opens it, he says something. "I'm picking you up at eight." What? What was he talking about? He sees my confused look and laughs. "We have to go to school tomorrow, remember? School, it's a place where you learn stuff." He says mockingly. "Okay, see you at eight." I say. He smiles and walks out.

I close my curtains and put on my pajamas. I untangle my braid and let my hair loose. I then lie in bed. But I have the feeling something's missing. Or, someone's missing. I missed Peeta. I had seen him five minutes ago, but I missed him. What was wrong with me? My feelings for Peeta were so weird. They were so strong, it was nearly scary. After a while I finally got to sleep, with an empty feeling in my stomach.

Author's Note: I hope you all liked chapter 14! Now this has nothing to do with the story, but, who do you all want to be Finnick in Catching Fire? I'm really interested, I personally think Garrett Hedlund would be pretty perfect. And if he doesn't get the role, I think an unknown actor should. How about you? Anyway, next chapter will be up by tomorrow or Friday evening (actually, probably Friday cause I have a load of homework to do.) Don't forget to review! :)
