Katniss POV

The doctor gives me some sort of medicine that's supposed to help with my fever and hallucinations, I don't think I have any of those but I take what he gives me. The medicine makes me sleepy almost instantly so when Peeta tucks me into the bed and kisses my forehead I don't object, even though it makes me feel sort of like a child. The sleep isn't deep, I'm incessantly pulled back to near consciousness but every time I can't seem to open my eyes or move my limbs at all.


The first time I 'wake' I hear Peeta talking, pausing, and then continuing.

"No, Effie, you need to keep her for tonight. Katniss isn't feeling very well... No I just don't want her to get sick... Yes she'll be spending the night... I don't care if you take her out to get something... Fine... Effie, I need to get back to Katniss... Just bring her back about twelve tomorrow as long as Katniss is doing better... Alright... Bye"

The bed shifts only slightly and then I can feel Peeta move beside me. Before I feel him next to me I'm pulled away from reality.


Once again I surface to the sound of Peeta's voice, only now he's singing, it's one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. The words flow heavenly from his lips and I wonder to myself why I've never heard him sing before this, why he's so enraptured by my voice when his sounds like this.

The soft, sweet song is one that I very faintly remember as on of the many songs I would sometimes hear my father sing while he was on the way back from the woods with me. I've no clue where Peeta heard it from but I find myself relaxing even further with the words he says, "I was made to keep your body warm, But I'm cold as the wind blows so hold me in your arms. My heart's against your chest, your lips pressed to my neck. I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet. And with this feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now. Kiss me like you wanna be loved, You wanna be loved, You wanna be loved. This feels like falling in love, Falling in love, We're falling in love"

Before I'd like to be I'm pulled under by sleep for the last time I try to memorize what he's sounds like, and attempt to remember to ask him to sing for me later.


Some time later, I regain all of my senses and wake up fully. The sun is visible at the very tip of the window, allowing the sunrise to illuminate the sky.

"Are you awake?" My voice is scratchy as I look up at his face, evidently at some point during the time I was out, he joined me, and I rolled into my usual sleeping position.

"Yeah, I have been for a while now. How do you feel?" He asks me, stroking my hair that's now absolutely matted.

I have to think for a moment, how do I feel?


Peeta's POV

"I suppose I feel better, maybe I need some fresh air. Can we go and walk around?" She bats her eyes at me and I just can't say no.

"We'll need to be back by … 1 so we can get re-packed. Will that be okay?" I ask her as she sits up against me.

"I need to get ready then," she says as she pops out of bed and scrambles toward the bathroom.
My eyebrows follow as I watch her. She's never been this... happy… spunky… energetic before. It worries me a bit, but she's not laying in bed or crying anymore, so that's an improvement. Demer should be happier since she's missed her room these past few months.

At the thought of my daughter I snap out of bed and reach for the phone, dial Effie's number, and when she answers I start talking.

"Effie, Katniss is feeling better, we're going to go out today. I think we're going to have to have you drop her off at the train station. That won't be a problem, will it?" I tell her hurriedly.

"Oh, that's fine dear. It only means I get to spend more time I get to spend more time with this little angel!" She exclaims.

I tell her to say hello to Demer for me, and then promptly hang up as Katniss walks out of the bathroom.

"Ready to go?" I questioned. She nods her head and we move on out.


We roam around the city, trying to lay low, but we are still quite popular everywhere. Every time we come across a mother with a baby, Katniss asks to hold them and talks with them before I eventually have to pull her away.

At one point I panic because she's wandered off and I can't find her. I do though and she's at the front of a store with a small bundle of lightweight blankets.

"Why did you buy those?" I gesture towards them and she shrugs.

"I thought they'd look good in the house."

It's not until we meet back up with Effie in front of the train, that I hear much of anything. There's a distant, almost muffled sound of a child's cry. I shrug it off since the station is crowded and there are many other children around us.

The sound follows us into our compartment which makes me start listening more closely. I kiss her head when it gets even louder. I grab most of the blankets out of her arms before she struggles to get them back. I won the tug of war and the crying is louder, causing me to peel away most of the blankets.

"Katniss, what have you done?" I practically shout, looking into the eyes of a young baby, perhaps only a few months old.

"I got Setis back." Is all she says.


So it's been a while... hope you liked it! I didn't have the time or the energy to type this so I got one of my friends to do it for me... so I'll blame her for all mistakes, even though i did go over it. Reviews would certainly help but I understand if you don't review... Have a happy day/evening/stuff.

And if anyone recognizes the amazing song I have in this chapter then you get this invisible cookie.

Until whenever I update again! *awesome music play out*
