A/N: I will start uploading every weekend, because you guys asked for more, and well, more often :D

I wake up feeling the sun light on my eyes. I open my eyes slowly and see that the side next to me was empty.

Where he was?

I jumped of the bed and stretch my arms so I will wake up completely. I stood up from the bed and walk towards the window that was looking exactly at the sea. I opened the curtains and admire the view. I loved the sea. The blue was so clear that you could think that it was connected with the sky an there were no clouds in the sky.

…Beautiful…

I fast change into a pair of shorts and my yellow shirt. Before me and Peeta getting back together, and anyway, before Peeta even coming back to 12, the only color you would see as a clothe of mine was black. From the day he came back to my life I unexpectedly started wearing different colors. But mostly orange. I like the look on his face when he sees me wearing his favorite color.
Full of desire.
But love.
He always looks at me with so much love that I feel guilty.
Guilty for not saying how much I love him.
For not being able to show him.
I shook my head and started walking towards the ladder that was leading you to the living room. From the top of the ladder I could see Annie sitting criss crossed on the sofa with a big bowl full of biscuits next to her and a cup of tea in her hands. Her eyes never leaving the tv screen.
She was alone.

Where was he?

"Morning!" I say and walk downstairs completely. I started heading Annie's direction and she finally turn to look at me.
"Morning!" she answered and tossed a biscuit in her mouth hungrily. That pregnancy made her hunger. A LOT!
"What time is it?" I ask looking around me. Annie drinks a sip of her tea and looks at the clock on the wall. It was a big clock with tridents and fish. Original district 4 clock.
"Around noun." She answered "Johanna and Finnick wanted to wake you up earlier but Peeta insisted to let you sleep." Annie said and smile.
"Yes. We both had a bad night. None of us really slept." I answer avoiding her eyes as I remember all those nightmares I had the night before.
"This is what he said!" Annie assure me and turn off the tv.
"Where are they by the way?" I ask looking around me curiously.
"They went to the hospital to see if everything is fine for tomorrow!" Annie explained and rubbed her abdomen, obviously talking more to the baby in her abdomen instead to me. "But…" Annie said and turns to look at me "Peeta found time and bake biscuits this morning!" she said with a cheerful voice as she pass me the bowl with the biscuits. I take one in my hands and admire it.
A perfect round shape.
It was full of white sugar and I instantly recognize them.
I toss one in my mouth and let the sugar melt.
The marmalade inside teasing my throat making me want to eat more.
When I am ready to take toss another biscuit in my mouth Annie talks.
"He love you so much, you know." She says and looks at me waiting for my reaction. I place the bowl between my legs and look at the white biscuits.
"I know…" I say and let a deep breath. I can hear Annie getting annoyed and she grabs the bowl from my legs.
"Katniss! Have you told him yet?" she ask with a serious expression

Why you do that Annie?

"No…" I say with a low voice that I am not even sure If Annie heard me. She turns off the tv and looks at me waiting for more explanation. "…I am scared." I admit still with a low voice. But this time I know she heard me.
"Why Katniss. He said it so many times to you!" she insists and keeps asking me.
"I am scared Annie!" I say with more loud voice. "Everything I've ever loved was taken away from me!" I say and I feel my eyes burning from the tears. Annie now seems to actually pay attention to what I say.
"What If… What If something happens to him? Or me? What If someone kills him? What If-" I keep saying but Annie cut me off annoyed.
"Look Katniss. I understand you 100%. I understand why you are afraid and why you are scared of letting Peeta know your feelings." She says and smiled a little. I keep looking at her as she continues speaking. "I am nine months pregnant. I am going to give birth and I am thinking about so many things. What If the arenas are back and the baby gets reaped? How will I ever be able to explain to it why Finnick had to kill so many people through his games and the quell." I am so surprised of what Annie just said. They both looked so happy about their baby, I would never bet they are afraid or something.
"You can't live with the "what Ifs" Katniss. Don't be scared!" Annie said and smile at me a little.

She is right!

I open my mouth to say something but I couldn't form words right so I pull her into a hug.
"Thank you Annie! For everything!" I say against her shoulder. She stands up pulling me up with her. She holds my shoulders tightly and gives me a smile again.
"You deserve happiness, Katniss!" She says but suddenly her sxpression changes and from a smile she seems pale. She lets out a scream of pain and held her abdomen.
"ANNIE?" Four known voices say the same time. From the door I can see Finnick, Peeta and Johanna. Finnick in no time he is next to her holding her arm.
"Finnick!" Annie said while breathing heavily. "The baby!" Annie hardly says. I suddenly understand what is going as I see water under her feet.
"She is going into labor!" I say and grab her arm so she won't fall. Finnick seems scared but she grabs her other arm and we help her outside.
"How long is the hospital from here?" I ask Johanna.
"About 10 minutes by foot?!" she answer and show us the right direction. Johanna run to the hospital's direction to say what was going on while I, Finnick and Peeta helped Annie to the hospital.

As soon as we arrive in the hospital I can see nurses and doctors walking towards us. They help Annie sit in a wheelchair and push her wheelchair into a room. Finnick never letting off her hand. When me and Peeta manage to walk in the room we see Annie as pale as paper holding her head with her hands. She is lying on the bed with the doctor in front of her legs and Finnick still holding her hand into his.
"No. Please! DON'T HURT ME!" Annie keeps screaming over and over again.

She is having a panic attack!

"Annie we will need you to push!" The doctor says trying to stay calm.
"NO!" Annie screams in answer holding her ears and shouting her eyes closed. Finnick seems as pale as Annie. He is whispering into her ear things. Trying to make her come back to reality. But it's not working. She has drift off.
"Nurses! Here! We will have to make her C-Section!" the doctor says and the nurse begins to push Annie's bed outside the door. Finnick's eyes widen and he starts running next to Annie's bed.
"Mr. Odair, please! You can't come any further!" The nurse says and stops Finnick from entering the door to the surgery.
"NO! I have to GO!" Finnick growls desperately.
"I am sorry sir. You have to wait outside!" the nurse keeps trying to explain to Finnick. But everything seems to be worthless. Finnick pushes the nurse and start walking in the room. He isn't able to go further because Peeta is next to him in no time. Peeta lift him up and I am thankful he is stronger than Finnick.
"Leave me Peeta!" Finnick keeps fighting him "You don't know who I am? I am FINNICK ODAIR!" he keeps punching and kicking Peeta like a small child trying to break free. Peeta ignores him and brings him to the waiting room where I and Johanna are already there.
Finnick looked helpless.
Pale as paper.
He sat down on the floor and start tying knots like crazy.
I could see his fears into his eyes.
But still I couldn't believe it.

Finnick broke down

Finnick Odair broke down.

Finnick Odair the sex symbol of Panem is breaking down in from of me.

I held him from the one arm and Peeta from the other.
We both knew were to take him so he will feel better. –the beach.

When Finnick's eyes met with the clean blue water he changed self. He run into the water while taking off his clothes and letting only his underwear. He jumped in the water with a desperate way.
I had seen Finnick again without shirt. I had seen Finnick with only fishing net on. But still Finnick wasn't the sex symbol of Panem without reason. Swimming paid off. A LOT!
When I turn my eyes from Finnick I saw Peeta. He was already walking inside the water with only his underwear on and I couldn't hold myself from staring. I had slept so many times with him. But seeing him like that in front of me was something else. I never had the chance to appreciate it. He wasn't of course like Finnick but he was fit too.
His muscles,
His abs,
The V above his thighs…

SHUT UP KATNISS!

I turn my look away and I manage to hear that Finnick and Peeta were calling me to go inside the water with them. I smile and without second thought I started taking of my shirt and then short. I throw them into the pile of clothes that were including of Peeta's and Finnick's clothes and walk inside the water with them. When I look at them I see Finnick bursting out laughing and Peeta was blushing. And I mean he face was all over red.
Oh god he was watching me changing.
I avoid the thought in my head and walk closer to them.

I won't lie. Finnick was in such a good mood that you would never guess that he was breaking down a few hours ago. He even offered Peeta to teach him how to swim! He claimed that he used to teach children how to swim.
I am so glad Finnick is fine. He loves so much Annie that he couldn't stand the fact of losing her. Now we are in the middle of a hard splashing fight.
"Ok, ok. I know you are acting like 7 year olds. But Finnick, your wife just came out of the surgery!" Johanna's voice was heard after an hour or so of us having the splashing fight. And you see Finnick, forgetting everything and running outside the water. Still on his boxers he started running towards the hospital's direction. Johanna gave raise her eyebrow and turn to leave before grabbing Finnick's clothes.
"We should go see If Annie is alright too!" I say and turn to look at Peeta who was coming closer to me.
"Yea, but this is the first time, I get to see you without anyone around!" Peeta said and smirk. He pulled me into his arms and crushes our lips together finding me off guard. I let my hands rest on his chest as is hands were holding my hips pulling me in. After a little while he pulled away. I didn't open my eyes. He actually left me wanting more. I was actually craving for his lips again. I realized that my expression looked odd so I open my eyes and look at him. He had a wide smile all over his face.
"Come on, we should go see her!" he said and pull me outside by the hand.

WE arrive in the hospital and went right to Annie's room. Annie was awake looking at Finnick. We walked in the room and just then I noticed the tiny baby into Finnick's arms. The little baby was exactly mini-Finnick. He was wearing tiny blue baby clothes.

It's a boy!

I can actually feel my eyes getting teary.
"It's a boy!" Finnick said and smile. He was crying. "His name is Finn!" Annie add with a proud voice.
"Congratulations. Mom and Dad!" Peeta said with a teasing voice. My eyes never leaving the little baby.

We walked up the stairs to our room. After we met with Annie and Finnick the doctors came in the room and the paparazzi were everywhere so we left the hospital. Left Finnick handle them.
"Finally home!" Peeta said when we enter our room. "You know that you were smiling when you were looking at Finn right?"
"Yeah…" I say without really paying attention on what he say.
"See… you can actually smile outside the woods too!" he said. I froze when I hear what he said. "I heard Gale saying that you only smile when you are in the woods…" Peeta explains and I take his hand into mine intertwine our fingers. We are both of us a little wet. From his touch I instantly remember Annie's words.
"He loves you, you know"
"Don't be scared"
I feel my heart tightening and the words are flying away from my mouth without coming back.
"Peeta, I love you!" I say and look straight into his eyes. His eyes frozen, his heart is beating fast, but he asks me again.
"What did you say?"
"You heard me." I answer and stand in front of him.
"Y-you love me. Real or not real?" he asked again unsure. I take a deep breath.
"Real" He suddenly then cup my face and pull me hard against him. The kiss was argent and made the hunger return. I tangled my fingers into his hair pushing his lips harder against mine. His hand he lifts me up and I lock my legs around his waist. I can feel his hand under my shirt but I let him. This feels good. He pushed me against the wall and we stay in the same position for a little while. Me against the wall, he against me. He lift me up again and place me to the bed so I am laying on my back. Peeta pulled away and took off his shirt. My eyes fall to his chest. The scars are still there. From the arenas. From the tortures of the Capitol. Not only on his chest but on his arms too. Peeta realize that I was staring at him so he moved next to me and tries to take his blouse from the flour but I stop him. Without saying anything I take off my shirt and shorts. It wasn't something sexual. I just showed him my scars and wounds. He takes off his trouser letting me see his fake leg. We start looking at each other's scars exploring each other's bodies. Learning our scars stories. He holds my hand and place a kiss on the scar that Johanna left me on my wrist. He kiss all the way up to my arm and the place a kiss on my chest making me gasp.
Nothing more, nothing less. After a while we fall asleep into each other's arms. He keeps his head on my chest and I stroke his hair. His arms are around my bare waist and our legs are tangled together like veins.
I love you, Peeta.
I am glad that you now know!
