Real or Not Real? By Olivia Isbill
Chapter 16
~4 Months later~
Katniss POV
So I'm about five months along now with my baby girl
Poppy Hazel Mellark.
I loved that name, and soon a brand new baby girl would own that name. I was definitely showing. My stomach was getting pretty big. People around seemed to start noticing. Caesar Flickerman wanted to do an interview with us about the happily married with a baby on the way, Victors. He is supposed to drop by sometime today with the camera crew and himself. I figured I should probably put on some nice clothes, but I can only wear T-shirts. Peeta's T-shirts. None of mine fit anymore because of my baby. So me and Peeta decided to go shopping before the interview. I finally got out of bed, which took some effort, and went downstairs. Peeta made some cheese buns, and we both sat down at the table and ate.
"So, where do you want to go shopping?" Peeta asked me.
"Um, How about the dress shop by the florist?" I asked him. He nodded his head, and we continued to eat Peeta's famous cheese buns. We ate in silence for a while, and then Peeta spoke up again.
"What do you think Caesar will talk about during the interview?"
"The baby, our wedding, our lives." I told him. I gave him a smile and he gladly smiled back.
"Aren't you glad there aren't any more games? No more innocent deaths. Our little Poppy will grow up without watching those terrible games. She will have a perfect life." He said smiling at me again. I loved his comforting smiles; they always reminded me of when we were in the cave, during the games. He always smiled just like that then. I'm not sure why, but he did.
We finished eating and went off to the dress shop. We of course had to look in the maternity section, because I'm obviously pregnant. We glanced around for a bit then I heard Peeta call for me. I walked over to where he was and he unhooked a dress from the rack and showed it to me. It was a beautiful blue dress. About the same color of the one I wore on the reaping, almost four years ago. Look how far we've come. From trying to survive those horrible games, to getting fake engaged. From being sent back into the games for the Quarter Quell, and leading a rebellion and killing Coin and Snow. The last four years seemed to flash before my eyes. I couldn't take it, before I knew it I was sobbing into Peeta's shoulder. He didn't mind of course because he was always there for me. I really did love the dress, but it brought back a little bit too many memories. He seemed to notice and put it back where it belonged. After I stopped crying like a baby, we searched the racks even more. Again Peeta found a lovely green dress. No memories for this one, so we walked up to the counter and paid for it. The cashier dropped it into a bag, and then Peeta and I were on our way, back to my home in the Victor's Village. We stepped out of the dress shop, hand in hand and walked back the long way. We walked in silence and then Peeta said
"I love you Katniss." He turned to me and smiled. I smiled back and easily replied.
"I love you too, Peeta."
