Still Peeta's POV

"Peeta!" Katniss shook me a little. "Wake up!" I ignored her again, for 3rd time. Something that I don't usually do because I know what will happen. She got a little angry with me ignoring her because I told her to wake up earlier than usual. Actually too earlier than usual. She snort a little and sat on my stomach right in front of me pulling my hands.
"Why, you're so heavy?" "Seriously, Peeta! You're heavy! I need to bring less game home!" she talked to herself "Mellark, you have to do start a diet!" she keeps talking to herself "That was it no more cookies for you!" she said and stood up. I knew that or she was going to bring cold water or she gave up. But suddenly I heard screams from the bathroom. I jumped off the bed and run to the bathroom feeling a little dizzy.
"Wha-What is it? Are you ok?" I asked in panic
"Yeah, I'm fine' she said giving me a proud smile.
"You did that in purpose, right?" I said a little annoyed
"Yep!" she said while pushing me a little to walk to the bedroom.
"Don't do that again!"
"Why? I even trow water in your face! I was getting worried!" she started saying while laughing a little
"You had to wake up!" she smiled to me!
"Ok, ok. I am awake!" I answered leaving a yawn. Today was the day of the grand opening of the bakery. I was feeling so excited that my hands were trembling. Katniss was going to come for help. We woke up at five o'clock. It was late summer and still so hot so we made sure to wear light clothes. But, Katniss in her shorts made my mind run wild, so I tried to focus on the work. But it was pretty hard.

We were at the baker, Katniss cleaning and I was special cakes when Thom , my right hand, arrived. He helped me bake cookies and I iced them, when about eight o'clock outside the bakery there were a bunch of people.
"Are you ready to open the door?" Katniss asked. She was looking excited too.
"Yeah let's do this!" I answered. My father would have been so proud of me right now. I though. Opening my own new bakery. I smiled sadly a little and Katniss whispered to my ear; "I know he is so proud. And he is watching you right now." She can read me like an open book. She went behind the counter and put on her biggest smile. Thom and me opened the doors and people came in with big force looking excited to the colorful cookies. Katniss was working like crazy. Noting people that wanted deliveries, answering the phone. District 12 got really big after the war. People were asking me for help. We had sold many things and I knew that the bakery was going well. Maybe I would give the bakery to my child. What am I thinking? I asked myself. I'm not even sure what Katniss wants... 'Again, Peeta. What are you thinking?' I asked myself twice.


"Oh god! That was crazy!" Katniss said when the last costumer left. I shut the windows so people knew that we were closed. The night had fallen and we were all really tired. "Mellark, as it seems you got work to do!" Thom jokes me while showing me Katniss's the notes.
"You are going to help!" I said teasing him.
"I finished my work for today! I will leave you lock the doors. Tany is waiting for me home!" Thom said while leaving.
"You look tired!" Katniss said while putting her arms around my neck above the counter.
"Yeah, it was really hard day. But I'm glad is over." I answered. She gave me a soft kiss and move away so her back was facing me. I grabbed her from behind, lift her up and put her sit on the counter so she is looking at me. I moved away some hair from her face and kissed her. She smiled against my lips and moved her hand to my hair. My hand started moving down to her lower back when the door bell rung, which means a costumer, is here. I moved away from Katniss and make an annoyed face.
"Sorry, we are closed!"
"I know it. But I really wanted to see the bakery!" We looked at Mrs. Maisy both really embarrassed. "Well, uhm, It's really pretty. See you around!" she said and turn her back to leave
"Uhmm, thanks…" I fast said. She nods and leaves.
I rest my forehead on Katniss's.
"We should be leaving. We have to go to Haymitch remember?" I said. She snored a little.
"Fine!" I grabbed her hand and leave the bakery, locking behind us.

We were approaching the victor's village and Haymitch was outside feeding his guise. Guise's annoying noise heard as they saw us, making Haymitch to turn around and notice us.
"Hello, sweetheart! New boyfriend?" he asked being sarcastic –as always.
"Hey Haymitch!" I greet him, and Katniss ignore him. I knew that Katniss and Haymitch were being sarcastic to each other, but like in games, Katniss was Haymitch's favorite. Deep down I knew that Katniss and Haymitch loves each other like family, or at least like friends.
"You should come to see the bakery! It's really amazing." Katniss said
"Yeah, maybe I will! You want something kids?" Haymitch said while looking at me
"Yes. Tomorrow, you will come to my house for dinner. Effie will be here for some work and she will come by." I explained.
"Effie you said?" he seemed to thing a little "Ok, I'll come! Sweetheart, be sure we have food!


No one of us could ignore the fact that Haymitch seemed to think a little after hearing Effie's name. We tried not to discuss it. We didn't know what even think about. It was weird. It would be weird, If something happens between them. Not that we wouldn't be happy or something. But I mean... It's Haymicth and Effie...


The job in the bakery is great. It was everything I've ever asked. And I know that my family is watching me from from the sky, and everyone is proud of me. Even my mom. Thinking of my mom I touch my cheek where she used to hurt me. She was mean and bad and I heard Katniss calling her by mistake a which , but she is my mother. Death or alive I will always love her and miss her. I miss everyone... I remember when I returned from the Arena second time. Delly had scolded me really bad for saying that no one will miss me in 12. I felt bad, but it was the truth. That time I wasn't sure If anyone really loved me. I was hijacked. I closed my fists harder pushing my nails on my palms.

Whatever. The bakery was going great. That was a big deal. And I really loved my job there. But it was keeping me really busy. I had to wake up really early sometime and leave Katniss alone. That was making me afraid and nervous. She really hated if I was leaving her before she wake up. I wanted to show her how bad I was feeling, I went by her house to surprise her. I left earlier from the bakery leaving Thom in charge. I was holding a basket with cheese buns and fresh bread to give to Greasy Sea. I mean she helped Katniss when I couldn't. She was really amazing.


Katniss was talking with Annie, Cinna and Finnick. As it seems Annie was going through her last month of her pregnancy. We had finished the book. Haymitch and Effie helped. I can't believe how many tributes they remember before us. We made a couple of pages for them, but the book had still some white pages. Some children pass next to me running. September was here and children started going to school again. Fortunately no one from Capitol really was troubling us. I thought while approaching Katniss house.

"Katniss it's me" I shout while knocking the door.
"Peeta?" she answered a little surprised. She was in a little mess.
"What were you doing?" I asked taking a leaf from her messy braid
"I-I just came from the woods. I fell of a tree. Stupid bird!" she answers showing me her hands full of wounds.
"Oh god Katniss! Be a little careful!" I said her and start walking in her house.
"Yes mom! I'll be!" she said ironic "Are these cheese buns?"
"You have to greet me first to have them!" I said and move the basket away playfully
"Come on! I'm all dirty and sweaty, just give me a cheese bun!" she answered playfully too, while coming close to the basket
"Hmmm… I think I like that!" I tell to her while pulling her close to me. She rolled her eyes and kissed me, but suddenly she pulled away. In her hands she was holding a cheese bun.
"HA! I got it!" she said laughing a little. She bit it and started eating it slowly when the phone started ringing. Her face seemed annoyed as she answered the phone.
"Hello?"… "wo, wo, wo. Slow down!"… "Now?"… "In four days?"… "Already?"… "Fine!"… "Yeah whatever Finnick!" –hung up-
"What Finnick wanted?" I ask her while getting another bite from my cheese bun. Katniss take a deep breath and walk close to me. "Annie is giving birth in four days. She wants us with her." I almost choke "In four days?" "That means…-"
"We have to leave today!" I gasp. "I know. Finnick has already bought the tickets…" she explains "The train will be here at midnight! You should go get ready!" I kissed her cheek and left leaving the basket at her counter. As it seems we are going to district 4.


"I hate travelling at midnight!" Katniss was complaining all over again. 'Don't worry Katniss. We'll be there in the morning so you won't really travel." I answer while drugging our luggage in the room.
"Does Annie know If it's a boy or a girl?" I asked curiously
"No, she wanted to be a secret.." she said while getting comfortable in our regular sleeping position. She came close to me, closes her eyes and rests her head and hands on my chest. I placed a kiss on the hair while rubbing her back.
"Hope Annie will be ok. If she is really stressed, she can have problem in her labor." Katniss said against my shirt.
"How…do you know?" I ask
"Once, there was a woman in 12 that was in labor for 26 hours. My mom didn't sleep at all and my dad brought me and Prim to the wood for hours. That woman was just stressed, but If Annie has a panic attack like usually…It can get worst…" I could feel her shivering lightly, so I pulled her close to me.
"Remember, in 4 there are good hospitals with more doctors. In 12 we only got your mother, and she was not even a doctor…" I try to relax her but she didn't respond. We both knew that If Annie got panic attack while she in a labor she might…- I shook my head to forget that thought. I felt her breath get slower and slower and she finally fell asleep. And I closed my eyes feeling her breath against my shirt; I fell asleep, dreaming of Annie's and Finnick's baby. It started out as a happy dream. I was feeling good and happy in my dreamyland as Katniss call it. Sometimes the dreamyland is dangerous, sometimes is happy. This time it started good and peaceful but then I started to remember...

…A baby boy, that looks like Finnick swimming happily into the dangerous waters of the arena. And the huge wave of the Arena-clock made the baby drawn, while the terrific sound of the cannon meant another death...
