"Peeta, stop, that was perfectly measured!" I yell as Peeta threw a handful of cocoa powder and flour onto my clothes. He laughs and kisses my cheek, "Sorry, my darling wife" he said lovingly.
It still felt strange to have Peeta calling me his wife even after we had been married for over 15 years.
"Ok so add in the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients K and then we can put them in the mixer" said Peeta, not even bothering to look at the recipe book he knew the recipes so well. I followed his instructions, and mixed together the ingredients. My stomach grumbled loudly at the smell of the freshly mixed batter, sitting in the mixer.
"Are you really hungry already nugget?" Peeta said placing each of his hands on either side of my stomach. "No Peeta, honey, I think that that was all me!" I said laughing and kissing the top of his head.
"Ok the cupcakes should be done in about half an hour, why don't you go and have a nice shower and I will join you soon?" Peeta said standing back up and kissing the top of my head.
I wandered up the stairs and into our bathroom. As I stripped off my clothes I glanced into the mirror. My scars were all healing well and were nearly unnoticeable. I turned side on and looked at my stomach in the mirror, there was a slight bump visible there. Suddenly Peeta appeared out of the corner of my eye, leaning against the doorway staring at me with awe on his face.
I had stopped being so self-conscious around Peeta, besides, after having my design and dressing team see me naked on more than one occasion I was used to having people stare in places that should not be stared at. I smiled at him as he walked over and laid a big kiss right in the center of my stomach.
Peeta stripped off and lead me into the shower. I let the hot water run down me and warm me to the core. Peeta spun me around so I was facing him and propped me up onto his hips. He then began to kiss me and I knew right then and there, that this man completed me. Everything I ever did with him felt so natural and easy, as easy as breathing.
I let him wash me hair, he massaged the foamy shampoo into my scalp and ran his soft fingers through me hair as I leaned against his body. He then washed the shampoo out of my hair and whispered in my ear "Honey the cupcakes will be ready". That was enough for me and I rushed out of the shower and dried off.
Once we were both dressed we headed down to the kitchen. Peeta grabbed the cupcakes out of the oven and I got the ingredients ready for the icing, I decided on red icing because the red icing can make beautiful flowers. As I bent down to find the mixing bowl I noticed something on the floor, which made my heart stop.
Peeta turned around and noticed what I was looking at. "Wow, honey did you spill the food coloring already!" he said half laughing.
"Peeta that's not food coloring, its blood"
