Katniss pov

I wake up to willow shaking me."mommy wake up,I'm hungry" she says. I slowly get up and wipe my eyes. "Sorry baby, I forgot daddy worked early." I say as I get up. She smiles and says"can you make pancakes?"

"I can try but I won't promise anything. First let me pee okay baby?"I say as I walk over to the bathroom. The baby is pushing on my bladder.

After that we go down stairs and I start to look for recipes from peeta. But then I realize that he has everything memorized. Damn it peeta.

"Well,I don't Know how to make them,willow. Maybe we should go see daddy"I tell her."Okay let's go mommy!"she says as she grabs my hand and starts to run."whoa,whoa,whoa, mommy has to get dressed! We can't go right now I'm not dressed sweetie"I say.

I get dressed and take willows hand"come on sweetie"I say and we walk down to the bakery. When we get there I go to the counter. Peeta is turned around arranging some pastries.

"Hello Mr Mellark,do you have anything to suit the needs of a pregnant woman? Let's say about 6months?"I ask.

"Hi daddy! Hi daddy" willow yells as she runs around the counter to hug him."Hey baby!"He says as he picks her up and throws her lightly in the air."daddy!"she laughs. He nuzeles his nose into her neck so the light scruff on his face tickles her.

When he sets her down she is still laughing. "Daddy I'm hungry! Can I have that muffin?"She asks him.

"Sweetie,that's a cupcake"he says"but you can have this"he pulls out a beautiful pastry."I just made this"

She smiles and takes it"thank you daddy."He kisses her and she runs to stool right next to me."as for you beautiful,I know exactly what you crave"he says and pulls out a plate of cheese buns.

"You know me so well"I laugh. He walks over to my side and kisses me,the wraps his arms around me from behind,his hands landing on my stomach. He starts to kick peeta.

When I turn around to kiss him,I notice an older woman smiling at us. I see her here all the time,but I haven't talked to her. Maybe I should. "Peeta,what does that lady usually have?"I ask. He turns around and sees her.

"Oh, carren? She likes cinnamon rolls."He says."everyday she comes at opening,sits in that booth and eats her cinnamon rolls. I usually give it to her half off. She's really nice,I've talked to her a few times"

"I want two plates of cinnamon rolls,k peeta?"I say with a smile he kisses my nose"ok katniss"

Peeta gets two plates and fills them with cinnamon rolls. I take the plates and walk over to her.

"Good morning Mrs Mellark,beautiful day isn't it?"She asks in a friendly voice. I sit down and say"yeah it is a beautiful day, here are your cinnamon rolls"

"Oh,but I didn't order any"she says."I know,but your such a loyal customer,I've noticed that you're always her,so I thought I would talk to you"I say and she smiles.

"Yes I do come here everyday. You see when district 12 was bombed,my husband died,he always adored peeta though,so now I come here and eat his favourite. I just adore you both,and your little by the way."

"Thanks,I'm sorry about your husband"

"It's okay darling,that was the past"she says with a wave of her hand."But I was the reason 12 was destroyed,I can't help but feel the fault. Really I should be the one dead"I say

I didn't notice I was crying until she lifts her hand to wipe a tear."darling, if it weren't for you little girls like your little one would be forced into a bloody hell. I appreciate your bravery. You've saved millions,and panem is forever in your debt,katniss. So don't you ever feel bad for saving people"she says.

I smile at her"you are very wise carren"I say. I look down at my stomach and put my hand on it where he is kicking."What are you having?"She asks.

"A boy"I say."That's wonderful,I had a little baby boy once. He was chosen as a tribute. Instantly he was killed in the bloodbath. I never had another kid"

"I can't believe how strong you are"I say she smiles"darling,it killed me for a while,but things get better,life doesn't wait. Eventually you heal,but you never forget and I won't ever forget them. I hate what happened to them but I forgive everyone. Because that's what God wants."

"Your right,I need to keep that in mind"I say"that's how I survive the day,I follow my traditions,pray to God and my loved ones,come here,visit their graves,then go home. Have you lost any loved ones?"She asks.

"When I was little my dad died in a mining accident,my mom acted like she was dead. I had to take care of my sister,prim. Then she died because of a bomb in the war,trying to save people. And I'm sure you know about rue."

"Yes I do remember that,I remember you volunteering for her too."She says. I nod. Then peeta walks up with a sleeping willow in his arms. She has her head on his shoulder and her little arm around his neck.

"Honey I think you should take her home,we were in my office painting and then the next thing I know,she's asleep on the couch."He laughs.

"Thank you katniss,for everything"she thanks me"well,you helped me a lot too. And I never want you to pay for anything here ever"I say. With that I take willow from his arms and say"I love you peeta"and kiss him.

"I love you katniss,sleep well baby girl. I love you baby boy"he says and kisses willows forehead and my stomach,after that I walk home and put willow in her bed. I sit down on the rocking chair and look at the painting on her wall.

I'm happy with my life,I'm past the ruff part.
