A New Life

by Tessa.Love is Dangerous

This takes place after the uprising and President Snow has finally been killed once and for all. But Katniss isn't used to her new life, and definitively not when Peeta starts to take over her heart again. What will happen to them? NOTE: This leads UP to the epilogue in the last book. I'm just filling in the blanks.

38. Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Peeta's POV

"What?!" I shout, my voice betraying my hysteria.

"Ssh, Peeta." Katniss strokes my hand, but her voice betrays her worry.

"That will be all," Comes Dr. Grey's harsh voice.

I hear the door slam shut, and a tired sigh comes from Dr. Grey.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you Peeta," Dr. Grey whispers. "I thought maybe I could get your eyesight back before then."

"'so ok," I murmur.

"Oh Peeta," Katniss cries. She buries her head on my shoulder and sobs.

"I'm okay Katniss," I murmur, stroking her hair.

"Katniss? How's your arm and leg?" Dr. Grey interjects.

"They're fine. All better now. Thank you." Katniss says in one breath.

"What's the matter?" I turn my head in Katniss's general direction, hoping to see her.

"I was crippled." Katniss whispers.

"Oh Katniss.-" I start but she puts a finger to my lips, silencing me.

"Peeta, it's okay," she soothes,

"But guess what?"

"What?" I almost shout.

"I remember."
