Katniss pov
I wake up to Peeta showering. I look at the clock and groan. My alarm doesn't go off for another 2 and a half hours!
I hear his soft moans of my name. He grunts in pleasure.
I stand up and walk over to the shower. "Peeta what are you doing?! It's still early! And you're off, should you be in bed?"
He blushes and jumps back startled by me. "Katniss!"
"Peeta it's early. Finish yourself off and go to sleep!"
"I can't, Bakers hours,"he says. I roll my eyes and groan. He opens the shower door and kisses my nose. "You can always join me."
"No! I'm going back to bed!" I say grumpily. But as I turn away I feel two hands grab my waist and pull me back.
"Peeta!" I scream in surprise. He kisses my neck as he press his chest to my back. Now I'm all wet!
"I'm sorry,"he says not sounding sorry at all. Then he kisses my cheek and releases me.
I grumble and crawl back into bed, holding the covers over my head. Peeta isn't exactly the quietest person. I can hear him stumbling around the bathroom and changing into his clothes.
I groan in anger. Peeta peels away the comforter and kisses my cheek. "I'm going to the bakery,"he says.
"I'll see you during my lunch." I say.
Then I fall back asleep...
By the time lunch rolls around, I'm overly stressed. When I get to the bakery, they're packed and there's no way I'll get back to work in time with this line. As I'm turning around I feel two large hands wrap around my waist. Peeta kisses my cheek and says,"where do you think you're going?"
"You guys are really busy, I just thought-"then he pulls out a bag with my name on it in the most beautiful writing. He grins.
"For you,"he says placing the bag in my hand. The smell is wonderful. Cinnamon and spices fill my nose. I smile at him and say,"thank you." Then I get on my tippy toes and kiss him.
Then he leads me to the table where he's set up two plates and cups of water. I take a seat in the far chair and smile. Even in all this chaos and commotion, he's made a little heaven for us.
He pulls out two cheese buns and sandwiches. I smile at him because he knows exactly what I want. I take a bite of the cheese bun and moan in delight.
"Good?"He asks.
"Very!" I say.
Then I take a bite of the sandwich. It's like sex for your tastebuds! "Peeta this sandwich is amazing!"
"Thank you,"he says with a smile,"I made the bread myself."
Peeta leans across the table to kiss me but we are interrupted by Barley.
"Hey Peet, I hate to interrupt you but we need your help."
He sighs and then says,"okay," then he stands and kisses my forehead,"I'll see you at home."
After work, Peeta still isn't home. After a few hours and him missing dinner, I start to panic. The bakery is closed but I still run down to it. It's dark but I've walked these roads a thousand times as a child. I know them well. I look in the window of the bakery. It's dark in the lobby but the light in the back is on and his car is here. I walk around to the back to find the back door cracked.
So I sneak in and I walk through the storage room to the kitchen. The first thing I see is a beautiful pink cake. A birthday. Dozens more follow. As I turn the corner I find Peeta laying with his head on the drawing table where he does his designs. He's asleep.
But he looks happy. At home.
I place my hand gently on his shoulder and lean into kiss him. He snores softly. I run my fingers through his hair and he stops snoring.
"Katniss?" He looks at me confused. He's trying to decipherif if this is real or just a dream. "What time is it?"
"Half past 10."
He groans and sits up. "I fell asleep."
"I can tell," I say smiling at him. "I got worried when you didn't come home. I should have guessed that you fell asleep. You've been up since 3."
"I'm sorry, I had a lot of cake orders."
"They're beautiful,"I say,"but it's time to come home."
"Did you walk down here?" He asks.
"Yeah, it's not that far."
"Katniss, we live across town."
"I've walked everywhere my whole life."
"You're pregnant. It's different."
"You can't baby me, Peeta."
"We'll it looks like I already have, and that's the only reason why I'm doing it,"he says gesturing to my stomach.
I roll my eyes.
"I know that you can take care of yourself but Katniss, for God's sake you're pregnant! This isn't about you anymore."
I sigh because I know he's right but I don't want to admit it. So instead I wrap my arms around his waist and close my eyes. He runs his hand down my back.
"I'm tired, please take me home." I tell him.
He takes my hand and leads me to the car. I get into the car and lean back against the soft cushions. When we get home Peeta falls onto the bed exhausted.
I lay next to him and roll over to say something but he's already snoring. So I get up and turn off the light. Then lay down next to him.
I wrap my arms around his waist and press my stomach in his back. He smells like the bakery. I press my nose to his shirt and kiss his neck. Then I lean back to sleep.
