The same day (Willow = 3 weeks old)
"WHERE IN THE NAME OF PANEM HAVE YOU BEEN HAYMITCH ABERNATHY?" Effie yells at Haymitch as soon as we arrived at the front door step. Haymitch doesn't even look Effie in the eye, he just continues to stare at the ground, swaying slightly, shuffling his feet nervously.
Effie scoffs at his inadvertent response and rolls her eyes, "You know what, I don't even want to hear it!" she says moving back in order to close the door in Haymitch's face. "Wait, Effie, please just listen to me…" Haymitch says sticking his foot in the door. "Get off this property Haymitch!" Effie says with no emotion in her voice, other than pure anger. "Eff, please wait… let me explain…" Haymitch says refusing to move his foot from in the doorway. "Don't come near me!" Effie yells as she slams the door in response. Haymitch, luckily, manages to move his foot out of the way of the slamming door.
At first I don't know what to do other than stand there and let Haymitch wallow in his sadness and anger at himself. We stand there in silence for a few minutes before I have to drag Haymitch off the front porch and pull him along to mine and Peeta's home. We open the door to find no Peeta and no Willow, I assume that Peeta has taken Willow to the bakery with him. Haymitch drags himself over to slump down on the couch and wraps his head in his arms and drops his arms to his knees. I watch him sit there for a moment before I decide that there is absolutely nothing I can do for him so I leave him and head upstairs.
After having an extremely stressful day I decide that I deserve to make myself a lovely bubble bath to calm myself down. I strip and slip into the warm soapy water filled with bubbles and close my eyes as I relax and let all of my stress and anxiety go.
I must have fallen asleep because when I wake up I notice that almost every single one of the bubbles are gone and I feel my husbands warm and gentle hands massaging my temples. I turn over in the water to see Peeta sitting beside the bathtub with his arms in the water rubbing my head soothingly.
"Hey there sweetie!" Peeta says as he reaches down and gives me a kiss on the forehead. "How long have I been asleep?" I ask yawing and stretching in the limited space that the bath holds. "Well I've been in here for like half an hour!" Peeta says as he smiles down at me.
I look up at Peeta and reach up to give him a kiss. He kisses me back and I reach up and run my wet hands through his beautiful blonde hair. As we kiss Peeta begins to unbutton his shirt and whips it off and chucks it over his shoulder. Just then I push Peeta away slightly so as to be able to look up at him, "wait… where's Willow?" I ask automatically looking around the bathroom for a glimpse of her. "She's downstairs with Haymitch, you don't need to worry about her!" Peeta says as he rips of his bottoms and slips into the bath beside me. Peeta makes love to me in the bath and we are careful not to let out any noises so as not to disturb Haymitch!
I walk back downstairs, leaving Peeta to get changed into some fresh clothes, in order to check on Willow. I walk into the living room to find Willow fast asleep in Haymitch's arms. I walk over and carefully sit down next to him and reach over to gently stroke Willow's forehead with my pinky finger. "Sorry to leave you with her for so long! We were… well… we were…." I say trying to figure out what to make up about what we were doing while Willow was being taken care of by Haymitch. "Don't worry 'bout it sweetheart, I know that you and the boy need your… well…own time!" Haymitch says giving me a small grin that lets me know he very well knows what Peeta and I were doing. Haymitch carefully lays Willow down in the little cot we have downstairs and tucks her under the covers, with such ease he looks like he has been doing it forever. He then leans back on the couch and lets out a sigh as he rubs his eyes with both hands. I mimic his movement, leaning back and putting my feet up on the couch close to him.
We sit there in silence until Peeta comes downstairs a towel in his hands. He walks over to Willow's crib and gives her a small, gentle kiss on her forehead before handing me the towel and sitting on the floor in front of my legs. I take the towel and start running it through his beautiful blonde, but wet, hair. Peeta leans back onto my legs and closes his eyes in my lap. "Katniss, you should really become a hairdresser, this feel so good!" he moans. "Enough with the sexual energy around here you two, you have a damn baby now and an old man who doesn't want to hear any more sexual actions or noises thanks!" Haymitch says as he drops his hands from his face and stares up at the ceiling. Peeta and I smile and look at each other, giving each other cunning grins. I pull Peeta up onto the sofa where he rolls me on top of him and we start to kiss, right smack dab in front of a disgusted Haymitch!
