You Belong With Me
Chapter 9: Sweetheart.
Author's note: Hello guys this is the last chapter. But there is going to be a sequel. I might have it up by next month. I am sorry if you will think that this chapter is disappointing in anyway. But I hope you like this and enjoy!
I wake up from the sound of loud knocking on the door.
"Up and going you two!" Effie shouts through the door.
I wake Peeta up and open the door. Effie barges through the door with something in her hands.
"Here is the address of the hotel and your train tickets." She tells me handing them to me. I take a look at the documents and see the destination written on the ticket.
"We are going to District 2?" I ask Effie surprised.
"Yes, yes you are. There is a beautiful tourist spot that I am sure you will love. The hotel is even walking distance from Gale and Johanna's house so you can visit them anytime. So that's all I have to tell you and I am going to give you a moment so you can pack and prepare for your honeymoon." She informs us before leaving the room and closing the door.
I kiss Peeta affectionately before going into the bathroom to change. I take a shower and change into my green t-shirt and pants. I fix my wedding ring on my finger and give the bathroom to Peeta. As I hear the shower running I start to pack my clothes and the clothes Peeta set on the bed for me to pack. Once I am finished I zip our suitcase and put it on the floor. Just as I was about to go down to eat Peeta comes out from the bathroom. I take a hold of his hand and we go down and eat breakfast. As I chew my food Peeta holds out a box. I take the box from him and open it. And inside is a beautiful charm bracelet with my new initials and some other charms. I hug Peeta and kiss his cheek.
"This is beautiful Peeta. How did you afford this?" I ask him surprised.
"Well ever since the first Hunger Games I have been saving up money. I left my savings in my house when we were in the quarter quell and when I came back I found it. I saved up some more money and I bought you this." He tells me nicely.
I give Peeta a little peck on the lips and ask him to put it on. He adjusts the chains and fixes it onto my arm. I stare at the charm bracelet in complete awe.
"I love you Peeta."
"I love you too Katniss."
We then finish our food and clean our plates. We head upstairs and get our bags. We go to the train station to board the train for District 2. On the train me and Peeta look out the window the whole trip since the train ride was only a few hours away. Once we reach District 2's train station we see Johanna and Gale waving at us. We come towards them and I give them both a hug.
"Hey Catnip" Gale greets me as I hug him.
"Hey Gale"
Peeta gives Gale a friendly handshake and he hugs Johanna. Gale brings us to the hotel and we check in. Once we get our room keys we go to our room. We go inside the elevator and I press our floor number 12. And after a few minutes the elevator door opens and we go out. Peeta unlocks the door and we both go in. When I get in the room I stare at it flabbergasted. The walls are a beautiful gold colour and the room is large. In the bedroom is a large king sized bed with rose petals formed in a heart. On the nightstand lies a bottle of champagne. I quickly uncork the bottle cap of the champagne and pour two glasses of champagne. I give one to Peeta and drink the other one. When our glasses are empty we go downstairs and explore the hotel. In the hotel there is a huge library, a bakery, a shooting range and a swimming pool. By the time we finish exploring the hotel we get some dinner. I call a taxi and go to one of the restaurants that Effie suggested. We get some seats and sit down. Peeta orders for us and the waiter goes to the kitchen to get our orders. The waiter comes back with our food and we eat.
"I have dreamt of this moment for so long." Peeta tells me his face evident with happiness.
"What do you mean Peeta?" I ask him not knowing what he means.
"I am in a restaurant with my lovely wife that I have loved for so long. And we are happy and madly in love." He explains to me.
"Well I am happy that I am with you my very charming and loving husband." I reply back to him.
We finish our food before we head out to a valley. I set up a blanket on the floor and I lie down with Peeta. The night is dazzling with a lot of stars. I take Peeta's hand and hold it close to my heart.
"I love you Peeta Mellark." I whisper to him.
"I love you too Katniss Mellark."
He then kisses me and I feel the hunger I felt on the beach. Peeta wraps his arms around me and I snuggle closer to him. He strokes my hair while I fall asleep in his arms.
I wake up in the bed in the hotel room. I check the side of the bed and see that Peeta is not there. He must have gone somewhere. I stand up from the bed and head to the bathroom. I reach for the doorknob and before I could turn it the door opens and Peeta comes out hair still damp from a shower. I reach out and hug him before getting into the bathroom. I take a shower and change clothes. I re-braid my hair and slip on my wedding ring and my charm bracelet. Once I go out of the bathroom I go out the room with Peeta and we go to Johanna and Gale's house. We follow the directions that Gale gave us and finally we found their house. I knock on the door politely and we wait for a response and after a few minutes of waiting Johanna opens the door.
"Hey guys I didn't expect you guys to come over." She tells us genuinely surprised.
"We wanted to surprise you and Gale." Peeta tells her for me.
"Come in Gale and I are just fixing the baby's room. We just learned yesterday I am having a girl. And we are furnishing the nursery."
I give Johanna a hug.
"Congratulations I bet she will be one of the cutest babies in all of Panem!" I happily tell her.
"Aw, Thanks I made some extra breakfast on the table. I know you
haven't eaten yet."
"Thanks Johanna." Peeta calls out to Johanna as she goes to the baby's nursery.
We eat the breakfast that was in the table and go to Johanna's baby's room. The room has a meadow like wallpaper. All the toys are set up in their corners and are neatly organized. The crib is craved in a heart shape structure.
"This room is beautiful." I tell Johanna and Gale
"Thanks Catnip." Gale tells me proud of himself.
"Do you need any help?" Peeta asks Gale.
"Well I need help in fixing the details on the walls. You can help me if you want. While Johanna and Katniss can chat in the living room."
"Sure" Peeta says with a smile.
I go with Johanna to the living room and sit on the couch.
"So how long have you been with Gale?" I ask Johanna trying to make conversation.
"Well, after you left I went to District 2 a few months after. I got a job in a weapons company and Gale was my co-worker. We have been together for a 1 year and a half." Johanna explains to me.
"How long has Peeta been officially yours?" she asks me this time.
"We have been together for a year it took us a while to heal for us to heal but we got through it." I reply back.
"I am very happy for you and bread boy."
We talk a bit more before Peeta and Gale go to the living room.
"Do you want to see the baby's room?" Gale asks us wiping his hands on a towel.
"Of course we do!" Johanna answers.
We both get up from the couch and go to the baby's head to the baby's room and it looks so beautiful. The walls are more detailed and it feels like you're in a meadow. There are paintings now hung on the walls and a name is carved on the crib. I trace my fingers on the craved name.
"Robin" I slip out. "Robin is beautiful name Gale." I tell Gale.
"Well when we came back from the doctor and found out it is a girl I was really thrilled. One day I was walking home and I saw a very cheerful robin perched on a tree. I dreamt that my child will be as peaceful and Johanna and I decided that is her name." He tells me happiness evident in his voice.
Johanna gives Gale a hug, and cups her hands around his neck.
"I love you Gale." she whispers to him
"I love you too." He replies back.
He gives her a long and passionate kiss. After a while we eat lunch together and we go our separate ways. Peeta brings me to the place that Effie told us about and we stay there. We both hold each other's had as we watch the sunset. We stay silent for a few minutes before Peeta breaks the ice.
"Katniss do you want to have kids?" He asks me kindly.
"I don't know Peeta. I am still afraid if I do the world will take my child away from me."
"I really do want kids Katniss." He tells me almost pleadingly. "And I promise to protect them with my life."
"I know you will. You will be the greatest dad in Panem. I am sure of it. You will make sure they grow up the way we didn't and that they will be safe."
"But Katniss you have to promise me something." he tells me straight forwardly.
"What do you want me to promise Peeta?" I ask him willing to do anything.
"Promise me when the time comes and we are having kids you won't back out. Promise me that you will be open about this as much as I am." He whispers desperately.
"I promise Peeta. I promise."
We then watch the sunset falls into the horizon. And on that night when I went to sleep I let thought of having a child stay into my mind and give me a peaceful sleep.
