Finding the Missing Piece: Book 3

Chapter Eighty-One

Peeta POV-

"Katniss, please? This is what this whole stupid mess is over."

She shakes her head, "Peeta, it's not stupid. It's our future and our life but we shouldn't be fighting about it. That's what is stupid, the fact that we can never stop fighting about anything, it's been this way for a long time and we need help." Katniss pushes.

I just wish everything would be good again, like when we first started dating or at least how it was when Prim was here.

She never failed to make Katniss happy.

"Katniss, I'm sorry we can never agree on anything but I'm going to try. I hate arguing with you. It breaks my heart." I tell her truthfully.

It's taking all I have not to just cry and beg her to forgive me and then everything could be back to normal but it won't and it shouldn't because I've been being a jerk about this whole thing.

I'm lucky to even be holding her right now.

"I'm gonna try too but I do care about this subject but when I tell you over and over you can have kids, just not yet and you keep bringing it up or I do, it's hard to deal with." Katniss says sniffling.

"Okay, we just can't bring it up anymore. Seriously." I say, hoping to get my way in a round about way.

I don't want the stupid deal anymore.

"Peeta, please just stop-this is what I mean. I'm trying to give you something to work with so you can feel like it's going somewhere but you won't agree to it."

"I just thought if I didn't ask you'd be happier." I shoot.

Se shakes her head, "I want you to ask me because the only way I'm going to be able to gather my feelings is if you remind me every once in a while."

"Fine. If that's what you want but you can't get mad at me when I ask." I say, already knowing how this would go.

"I won't but you can't be upset if I say 'no' okay?"

"Alright."

"Ultimately, we both have the same goal. Just different time frames to achieve it. Let's not forget that we are on the same team."

"I agree. Now can we just stop discussing this?" I ask softly.

"I'd love to." She says, looking at the wall.

I frown at her, watching her.

I love her so much but she's so damn stubborn and I guess I am just as bad.

"Let's get off the floor."

"I'm going to bed." Katniss says, getting up and shutting the light off, me still on the floor.

"Do you want me here or not?" I ask, kind of shocked by her actions.

She slides into bed, "You make that decision."

I shrug

"I'm serious. Tell me what you want."

"Out." She says, pointing towards the door.

So with that, I get up and walk out of our bedroom, shutting the door behind me.

I start pouting.

I really thought she'd at least let me sleep with her tonight but I guess she's still mad, which I don't blame her for and I know it can't just be fixed like that and I didn't expect it to be.

We are both acting so immature.

She's right.

The last thing we need right now is to have a baby.
