This is horrible.
I feel bad not paying attention to Hallie, and then I feel bad not paying attention to Brennan, and then Bailee.
So now, three days later, I'm nursing both of the babies at the same time, and Hall is laying on the crossed legs, asleep. Our families all made up, and I'm falling asleep.
Bailee unlatches, and I cover myself up. Peeta takes her and I hold Brennan. When he finishes, Peeta has Bailee asleep in my mother's arms. He burps Brennan and this his mother takes him. I'm so exhausted. I drift off, Hallie still asleep on my lap.
PEETA'S POV
She's completely drained every ounce of sleep out of her, and we're all doing what we can to help her. Now she's passed out on the couch, the blanket just barely covering her breast, which she forgot to cover up. I cover it for her and then cover her with the blanket.
Hal is going to be one, but she can't full crawl yet. She's getting there.
I lift Hallie and bring her to her bedroom and deliver her to her crib, and then I go downstairs and pick up Katniss and carry her up to bed, tucking her in and kissing her forehead.
"Peeta." She mumbles.
"Hmm baby?" I ask.
"Stay with me."
"Always." I whisper.
KATNISS'S POV
It's dark when I wake, and Peeta isn't here. My boobs have been completely refilled with milk and their aching because they need emptied. Brennan and Bailee better be starving. I get up and go downstairs.
"You need to eat dinner." Peeta hands me dinner, and even though I'm not hungry, I force myself to eat it. He takes my plate when I'm done.
"Mama." Hallie says. She struggles to crawl over to me, and I lift her up. She sits on my lap and leans back against my huge belly.
"Am I going to get back to size zero?" I ask Mama.
"Eventually." She says.
'When?" I demand.
"how long did it take last time?" she asks.
'Eight weeks." I reply.
"Then probably sixteen weeks." She says
Four months? It's going to take four months?
PEETA'S POV
This is not good. "Four months?" she asks. "I have to wait four months. I won't be zero again. Not until September."
"You still look beautiful." I assure her.
"Your just saying that. Only to please me." she says. I sigh heavily, because I'm not.
"Okay," I reply.
KATNISS'S POV
Forth of July rolls around. The twins are two months, Hallie is ten months. She can crawl easily now. We just go into the field out front with the kids and the rest of the family. Peeta and I each hold one of the twins as Hallie points out fireworks. It's adorable, and this is her first time ever seeing fireworks, and the look in her eyes is perfect.
The holidays are my faborite time of year, because the kids get excited, the family gets together, and it makes me realize how important family is. That if I didn't have them, I'd be nothing.
That my family is my life.
Okay the epilogue is next because I'm seriously out of ideas
