Forever a Safe House

Chapter 8

<Peeta's POV>

"Peeta Mellark! Get your crummy little ass down here right now before I whip you with Finn's cane!" Katniss yells from downstairs. I sigh and rush down to my slightly pregnant wife. Her, Annie, and Glimmer are going to be a handful when they are really big. Especially Glimmer. She's only 6 weeks along, yet she is already playing the pregnancy card everyday with excuses like my back hurts. Katniss on the other hand won't let me help her at all, much to my annoyance. Every time I try to help she yells at me and says she is perfectly capable. Although I guess it could be worse, I could be in Marvel's position, where Glim is asking everything from him.

Annie is actually quite normal. Except for one teeny weeny thing. She is so protective over her baby. All she every does is worry, worry, worry. She won't let anyone else except for her and Finn talk to the baby, in fear that the baby will think one of us is the baby's parent. Finnick tries to calm her down, but always fails miserably. She goes to the doctor almost every two weeks to make sure everything is okay. I brush away my thoughts and continue down the stairs bumping into a tired Marvel on the way down. I chuckle and mutter an apology. "That's okay," he says with his eyes closed and in the middle of a yawn. I leave his side and make it downstairs.

"Yes Kat?" I ask finally reaching Katniss.

"We're going out to lunch, come on," she demands. I look at her confused.

"Since when?"

"Since now," Katniss yells grabbing my hand and pulling me along.

"Kat, where are we going?" I ask while being tugged along by my hungry wife.

"Oh I don't know some buffet place, I'm starving, now drive, or better yet, let me drive," Katniss says shoving me in the passenger seat of our car. I smirk at Katniss. "What?" She asks.

"Your so cute," I say laughing. Katniss smiles then starts the car and we head to lunch.

<Marvel's POV>

"Marvel, I need to water can you get it?" Glimmer yells to me.

"Why can't you?" I ask sighing and yawning simultaneously. She glares at me.

"Why can't you get your period every month, carry a watermelon for nine months then shove it out of your vagina?!" Glimmer asks rhetorically.

"I'll go get you water," I say giving in. On the way to get her water I bump into Jo. I grab her shoulders and speak softly. "Get that boy neutered, just get Sam neutered so he can never have children," I tell her. She looks worried all the sudden.

"Sam? Oh my god I lost Sam in the house!" Johanna yells in a panic. I shrug.

"So why is that a big deal?" I ask. She looks at me like I have three heads.

"Because Finnick and Annie and writing their vows, Foxface is working with a saw to cut down a tree in the back, and Clove is trying to get pregnant with Cato so she has an excuse to marry him sooner!" Johanna screams. "I don't want him interrupting Finn and Annie, I don't want him getting cut by a chainsaw, and I most certainly don't want to have him walk in on Cato and Clove doing it!" She explains. I nod my head.

"You should probably find him," I whisper.

"Ya," Johanna exclaims the runs around the house looking for Sam.

"Marvel! Do you have the water yet?" Glimmer yells to me from the living room.

"Yes dear," I yell back, quickly getting a water bottle and rushing back to my very picky wife.
