I was at Elitch Gardens for a school field trip so this chapter is late. I got burned on my back and shoulders and it hurts. But yous guyses probably don't cares about what is going on in my life, so here is the next chapter!

Chapter 36 – Peeta's POV

Katniss fell asleep. The nurse came in and gave me Andrea and left. I made sure that she was gone and I smiled at Andrea. "Hi baby! I'm your daddy!" She opened her eyes and looked at me. She had grayish-blue eyes; a mix of mine and Katniss's. Her hand wrapped around my finger. I started tearing up. "You're going to love mommy. She's sweet, kind, brave and really pretty."

I held her for a long while and looked into her eyes. She was adorable. I noticed tears running down my face. I looked up and Katniss was staring at me. "How are you?"

"Good. How long were you awake?"

"From when the nurse came in. Can I hold her?"

"Yes." I handed her off.

Katniss held Andrea very carefully and looked at her. Then she looked to me. "Her eyes are gorgeous." I watched her hold Andrea. "Hey baby, I'm your mommy!" She said in a loud whisper.

There was a knock on the door. "You have visitors!" The doctor said.

He opened the door. Gale, Johanna, Rory, and Prim walked through the door. "Is that?" Rory said a little too loudly. He apologized.

Gale walked beside the bed and Katniss held Andrea so that he could see her. "Use the hand sanitizer first." Katniss pointed to the bottle on the side table. He rubbed some in his hands.

Gale held her and stared at her. His eyes started to get watery, but he fought through them. "I don't know what to say." He said.

"Gale, don't say anything." Katniss never looked at him. But I did. He gave her a nasty look.

Johanna spoke up. "Gale, please!"

"What?"

She spoke quieter now. "You have to get over her! I know how you are around me. She's engaged, has a baby and," She stopped and looked at me and continued, a little louder than before. "And face it, Peeta's great for her."

"Thank you Johanna." I said.

"You're welcome, now Gale?"

He grumbled and looked at Andrea. Then a smile crawled across his face. He leaned in and kissed Johanna. "I can't stay mad at you!"

Gale handed over the baby to Johanna and he left the room. "What's up with him?"

"Look Jo, it goes back way back. I don't think you wanna hear all of that."

"I do. I need to know why he has been whining about you." She gestured to Katniss.

"Okay," she started, but then she shook her head. Katniss started to cry. "I don't think I can tell her, Peeta!"

I took her in my arms. "It's okay, you don't have to tell me."

Prim and Rory were talking in the corner next to the door. Prim looked at us and walked up to Andrea. "Can I hold her?"

"Yeah, here. You have to support her head." Johanna showed her how to hold a baby. She was about to hand off Andrea, but she stopped herself. "Hand sanitizer."

Katniss laughed and handed Prim the bottle. "Now can I hold her?"

"Yeah, here."

Prim took her in her arms. "She's so tiny! What color are her eyes supposed to be?"

"Grey-Blue." I said. "It's a mixture of both of ours. I've never heard of it happening before, so they are one of a kind."

Johanna mumbled under her breath, "So are you two." Katniss and I looked at each other and silently laughed. "I'm going to go find Gale. Congratulations from both of us. Bye then!" She left.

Katniss leaded towards my ear and whispered, "What do you think is wrong with Rory?"

I looked at him. He was sitting on the floor, looking at his feet. "I don't know. Let me talk to him."

"Okay, go for it."

I got up and walked over to Rory. He didn't look up. I sat next to him. "What's up?"

"Nothing."

"It doesn't look like nothing." He didn't say anything. "I'm not going away until you talk about it."

He groaned. "I'm not going to talk about it." He didn't say anything after that.

"I'm waiting." Another groan. He looked away from me. "Look Rory, you're going to tell me what is going on eventually. It would be much faster if you just told me now."

"How do you know that?"

"I'm a teenager too."

"But you're a father now."

"That doesn't mean that I like talking about my problems." He said nothing to that.

"Why do you care?"

"Well, Katniss has always said how Gale is like her brother, and you're his brother. That makes you my brother-in-law."

"What are you going to do if I tell you?"

"Help you as much as I can."

"Fine." He put his head back and sighed. "So I took Prim to the park to have a picnic. I left for a minute to go to the bathroom. When I got out there was a boy leaning in to kiss her cheek. Or lips. Or-I just don't know." He put his head down to his knees. "I love her, but I haven't told her that. I don't want someone else to get her. I don't know how you can help me with that."

I was amazed. I was expecting his mother caught them kissing or something. "What did you do?" He looked confused. "What did you do after they, whatevered?"

"I was going to go and stop him, but I just hid behind a tree until he left."

"All I can tell you right now is that you need to talk to her about it."

"I don't know if I want to."

"Well, that doesn't really matter because you are going to talk to her. Prim!" She looked at us. Rory covered my mouth.

"He didn't say anything."

I tried to say, "Yes I did." But it came out, "Yah ah mood."

Prim walked over, still holding the baby. "Peeta, can you stay?" Rory asked.

"Sure. I don't see why, but sure."

She handed me Andrea and sat on the other side of Rory. She laid her head on his shoulder and looked at him upside-down. "What's up?"

"I-" He looked at me.
