After the war (A Mocking jay sequel)

Chapter Eighteen- Bakery

*3 months later* *Katniss Pov*
It's been 3 months since the incident. I've been going to therapy, as my PTSD was triggered. I was scared of becoming a danger to Rye. I've mostly got it under control. Peeta has been having some flashbacks. He nearly hurt Rye so he's been staying at our old house, but coming over daily to see Rye for a few hours. Rye is 8 months old. He's starting to crawl, he's been getting the hang of it.
I'm cooking dinner when I hear the door open.
"Peeta, is that you?" I call out
"Yeah, it's me." He replies, going into the living room.
He picks up Rye and walks into the kitchen.
"Hey, I was thinking about opening up a bakery." He tells me
"Okay. When is this going to happen?" I ask
"I'm not entirely sure. But definitely soon. Within the next few months. I have enough savings to buy the building and fix it up. I should also be able to fund it for the first few months while we make revenue. I'm hoping to get it open by mid next year." He explains.
"Well, I'm happy for you." I say, Smiling.
He smiles back. His expression turns serious as he sets Rye into his high chair.
"Katniss." He starts.
I can tell by the look in his eyes what he's talking about.
"Peeta," I interrupt him. "I want you to move back in too." I say
His expression brightens, "you do?" He asks, hopeful
"Yes I do." I reply, smiling.
He takes a few steps and presses me to him as his lips crush onto mine. I kiss him back passionately. Things start to get heated when I remember Rye is 3 feet away from us.
I pull away, to my body's dismay. "Rye is in here" I say, breathless. Peeta turns around to look at Rye sitting in his high chair. He walks over to rye, walks out of the kitchen and up the stairs. I stand there confused. 5 minutes later, Peeta walks down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"I put him in his crib. We have maybe ten minutes before he starts crying." Peeta explains, as he turns me around and kisses me again.
I moan into his mouth. "I think we can do a lot in ten minutes" I smirk.
Peeta smirks back. He picks me up and carries me into the living room. He sets me down on the couch before taking off his shirt. I quickly take off mine. I help him take off his pants, and he does the same for me. He looks me in my eyes while he enters me.
*Peeta's POV*
I enter her, slowly. Her face morphs into pleasure, and that turns me on more. I lean down and kiss her, passionately. She returns the passion. And soon, she's begging me to go faster. So I do. She moans loudly,
"Shhh, Rye is up stairs" I say, laughing
She rolls her eyes, but quiets down.
I can tell she is about to finish.
Her insides squeeze my groin as she finishes, and I finish soon after.
I flip us so I'm on the bottom and she's on top. I didn't realize I had gotten hard again. Katniss takes my groin and guides it into her. I do nothing but watch the erotic sight. She slowly slides down and moans, quietly this time. She goes up and down, for a good 5 minutes, our moans making a beautiful melody in the quiet room.
She finishes soon after, and I finish with her.
She takes my groin out of her and lays on top of me. Letting out a deep sigh. Shortly after, follows a gasp of panic.
I sit up right, "what is it? Are you okay?" I ask, panicked.
"We didn't use a condom" she says, panicked
"I don't know if I want another kid, let alone this soon." She explains.
I stay quiet, not knowing a solution for this.
"this is the first time in months, I haven't had my period yet, so I'm not too fertile. So hopefully I won't get pregnant." She says
I shrug. It's Katniss's choice. And whatever she chooses in the event she gets pregnant, I'll support her. I nod my head and give her a kiss.
We kiss passionately, when suddenly we hear Rye crying. We both scramble to put on our clothes. Katniss giggling.
We go up the stairs and walk into Rye's room. Katniss goes to pick up rye. I stop her, "are you sure it's best to touch him. After you, you know, touched my soaked..." I look down to my groin. Katniss's eyes follow mine. Her eyes widen at my words.
"Peeta!" She chastises.
"You haven't washed your hands!" I say, defending myself. She shrugs and walks out of the room. I pick up Rye, soothing his crying.
"It's okay. Daddy's here." I say
Katniss walks back in a few minutes later.
She holds up her hands, "all clean. Can I hold my son now?" She says, playfully angry.
I laugh and hand her Rye.
"Hey my sweet boy." She coos.
We walk downstairs and watch a movie.
During the movie Katniss asks me, "Have you made an offer on the building yet?"
"Not yet. I wanted to clear it with you first." I respond.
"It's fine by me. I think it would be cute. Rye going to the bakery everyday after school. Helping you prepare the bread and pastries." She tells me
I smile as I imagined that. The thought makes me happy.

*A week later* *Katniss POV*
I'm pushing Rye's Stroller inside the empty building. Peeta is showing me around.
"The counter would go here. With a display containing some of the pastries." He tells me.
I smile, he's so excited. He put an offer on the building a week ago, and it was accepted. We're still waiting for the transaction to go through, but we are checking the place out in the mean time.
"I'm thinking of hiring a cashier. And another baker to keep and eye on things. What do you think?" He asks
"I love it" I reply. Peeta smiles at me, and gives me a kiss. We walk out of what's going to be the bakery, but right now is just an empty building. Peeta is talking to me about what he wants to name the bakery when I hear a familiar voice. I turn around to see Joanna.

*A/N: enjoy this time jump chapter. I'll have the next one out within the next few days. Trying to get some inspiration. I don't want to make this book too long, but i don't want to put too many time jumps to the point where the book has major time jumps every chapter. But do expect some more time jumps.*
