After the war (A Mocking jay sequel)

Giving birth 2.0

**1 month later***
——————————————————————
I'm screaming in pain.
"I don't want to do this Peeta. I don't. It's too much" I cry.
Peeta looks at me with so much love,
"It's going to be okay. It's only a few more minutes and then our baby girl will be here!" He assures me
"Okay katniss, push!" The doctor commands
I push as hard as I can.
I hear a baby cry moments later.
"Congratulations! You have a baby girl!" The doctor says.
"Peeta. Would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" The doctor asks peeta.
"Of course." He replies and walks over to the doctor. Leaving my side.
Peeta looks at our daughter with adoration as he cuts the cord.
"Can I hold her?" I ask
"Yes you can" the doctor says as he hands her to me.
I cradle her in my arms. I feel so much love for someone I just met.
Peeta stands next to me, we both look at our daughter with love.
And I vow at that moment that I will keep my children safe. I vowed when Rye was born, and I'm vowing again.
A few minutes later, the doctor says, "I'm sorry. We need to take her to get cleaned up and do tests."
"Of course." I say as I hand her over to the doctor.
Peeta kisses my forehead and he says, "you did it my love. You gave birth to our second child."
I look at him. "Let's not wait. Let's get married right now."
"How would we do that? We don't have a pastor." He says, chuckling.
"I'm sure they can get one here for us." I say
"But I want to see you in the white dress. Not the one snow forced you to wear. A white dress that you chose to wear. A white dress that signifies our love. Your love for me, and mine for you." He explains
I smile and lean in to kiss him
After a few moments he pulls away and says, "I won't be wearing a white dress though"
I laugh, "Okay. But let's do it soon." I compromise
"Deal." He says. He gives me another kiss.
A nurse brings our daughter in and hands her to me.
"Hey little one" I say in a soft tone.
"Do you two have a named picked out?" The nurse asks us.
Peeta turns towards the nurse. "We do." He says, pausing.
"Her name is Willow Prim Mellark" I finish for him.
The nurse smiles, "lovely name" she types something into the computer and then leaves the room.
A few minutes later we hear a knock and Haymitch walks in with Rye.
"Mama. Dada." Rye coos.
"Hey Rye. Come meet your baby sister!" Peeta says.
He grabs rye from haymitch's arms.
Rye looks at willow and puts his hand on willows head.
"Congratulations you two. I'm gonna leave now cause this is too sappy." Haymitch says.
Peeta and I laugh
"Thanks haymitch" I say with a smile.
He gives me a smile before he turns around and walks out. As he reaches the door, he turns around.
He looks at us for a second and then asks, "and what's the little ones name?"
Peeta looks at me before turning to Haymitch and says "her name is Willow Prim Mellark."
Haymitch stands there for a few moments before He gives us a smile and then leaves.
Peeta turns towards me and says, "I don't know what the future will bring. But I'm glad I get to go through it with you." He pauses, looks at our kids, "and our kids" he continues.
I smile. "I love you" I tell him. And I know nothing is truer than that.
"I love you too." He replies.
We look down at our daughter as our son tries tickling her. He's been trying to do that lately with others. Peeta and I laugh.
And I know there is no where I'd rather be than right here. With my fiancé, soon to be husband, and our kids.
