Hey! I am going to be posting some new stories soon that I think you may enjoy. They'll be posted later in the month but they're called,

Ignorance is Bliss

Don't Be my Romeo

and The Darkest Corner

All are Hunger Games, all are different in their own right. If y'all are interested please tell me because I love you. Also I've decided to become a BETA just because so if y'all would like an editor, I'm free as of now. Continue my dearest.

In the morning Katniss found Peeta asleep by her side. She felt his hands resting over Scarlet. She laughed a bit looking down at his sleep heavy hand, one over their daughter and the other holding his place in Bram's book.

She slipped it from his hand and found he had finished it. He moved slightly as she got up.

"Morning?" He asked groggily.

"Yep, Australia time?"

"Yes."

"Sucks huh?"

"Yes." He climbed out of bed and kissed her. "How are my girls?"

"Scarlet isn't awake yet." She whispered placing her hand over the baby.

He smiled and gently let his fingers brush against her stomach. "I can't wait for her." He said.

"You want a reenactment of Leif's birth? That was traumatizing" Katniss laughed.

"Well maybe she should stay there until she can breathe on her own." He got on his knees and kissed the baby.

"Come on" She laughed, "We have other things to do today."

"No we don't" He stood up and took her hands. "We have today off."

"Really?" She asked skeptically. "What about-"

"Katniss," He laughed taking her hands. "I have everything planned." She raised her eye brows. "I do."

"Okay." She nodded, "Let's get the kids to school-"

"Gale and Jo have that covered."

"Then lets-"

"Katniss." He laughed again, "I have everything planned, all you have to do is be there."

"Can I shower?"

"I think I can allow that" He let her go and when she had showered she found an orange dress laying out on the bed.

To humor him she slipped it on. When she looked at herself in the mirror she smiled. "Welcome to your sixth month Scarlet." She said circling her daughter as the little princess woke up.

She walked down the stairs to greet her husband. "Hello beautiful." He took her waist and kissed her.

"You shaved" She said running her hand along his jaw.

"You asked me to."

She jolted forward a bit, "Princess don't kick mommies kidney." He smiled fondly at their little one.

"Good morning Scarlet." He said sweetly. He looked up and kissed his wife again. "Are you ready?"

"Yes" She nodded. He took her hand and led her out of the house and down to the forest. "Bird watching?" She asked jokingly.

"Come on." He led her down through the trees and passed the lake. He took her up one hill and then another. Soon they could see far past Twelve's woods.

"Peeta it's beautiful." She said sitting down. "I almost forgot what these woods looked like." She said.

"It's amazing how different the world looks as time passes." He said sitting next to her.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"I just... I want to talk. Seriously talk."

"About what?"

"Well, a few things. Like, um... Bram for one thing."

She nodded, "He's a fighter."

"He's, just a kid Katniss."

"I understand that."

"Then why did you show him our games?"

"Because, he'd already seen a few, I wanted him to trust me." She shook her head, "He was very receptive. I was surprised at how trusting he really was." She thought for a little bit before biting her lower lip, "Peeta, how are we going to tell our children?"

"Hmm?"

"How will we tell them about the games? The rebellion? This war? Everything. Peony's almost ten now. we'll have to tell her sooner or later." Katniss began to cry.

"Shh, don't cry." He brought her to his chest.

"How will we tell our children we killed other people to get to where we are?"

"Well... Not like that." He assured her.

"They'll be teaching the kids about the games in school at some point Peeta. We can't let strangers tell our children we are killers."

"Hey" He took her chin and lifted her face up to his. "We are not killers and don't ever tell yourself that."

"Peeta, I've killed hundreds of crippled children, shot at men on opposing sides of a war. I am a killer."

"You were protecting your family."

"In the games-"

"You were trying to protect Prim and your mother."

"Look what good that did. My mom is dead and my baby sister is crippled."

"You couldn't help that."

"I started the war."

"I like to think I helped with that." He laughed kissing the top of her head.

"... You know, I didn't understand my mother until I had Peony. Now I want her back. I want her back even if she were in that depression she had after my dad died."

He smoothed down her hair and kissed her, "She's still here Katniss. She is. She's watching you and making sure that little Scarlet has her grandmothers spirit with her forever."

"I wish I believed that."

"Its easy." He assured her. And he is right, it is easy to think those who have left us still remain by our sides. It is easy to hope that they never leave us.

They talked for a while longer until noon had passes into mid day. "We should get back." Katniss said having Peeta help her to her feet.

"You know what I just realized?"

"Hmm?"

"Scarlet will be a Christmas present." Katniss put her hand over the baby. His eyes lit up at her words.

"It will be the best Christmas ever." He assured her. They walked back into town and Katniss stopped in at the bakery to say hello and happy birthday to Bram.

She slipped his book back into the safe before they left.

She felt so lucky to have everything she did. She had two beautiful children and friends who loved her.

She had a husband who loved her more than his own life, she had everything. Well she thought she did.

"This just in, on the war front. The siege of headquarters is at a standstill and we have information that the head in charge of the siege General Finnick Odair was captured in battle."

Hey Love, so this was short but don't worry once I'm done reading Romeo and Juliet for class everything will get a bit... Different. ;) cruelty looks bad on everyone no? Sorry had to end it there but you know, cliffhangers are good every now and then. Stay lovely!
