Katniss POV- (Early Christmas morning)
"Wake up, Sweetheart. It's Christmas!" Peeta cheers happily.
I let out a groan and turn back over onto my left side.
"Come on, we have a big big day!" He shrills in his Effie voice.
I manage a tired smile, "Give me like another hour..." I try.
"Um, no." Peeta laughs.
"Are you just doing this to repay me for when I woke you up last year?"
He chuckles, "I would never do anything of the sort."
"Oh, but you would!" I laugh back, knowing that's exactly what he's doing. He ultimately has the biggest advantage this year.
I'm pregnant and I sleep till at least noon everyday. I was kind of hoping today wouldn't be any different, even though I am super excited for the holiday.
He walks over and leans down, pressing a kiss to my temple.
"I made you breakfast." He mumbles to me, moving some hair away from my face.
I open my heavy eyes and look at his bright blue ones.
"Hi." I smile a little.
He chuckles, "Hey, beautiful."
I feel a blush coming on and he notices.
"You're a blusher!" He teases me, just like he use to years ago.
"No, I'm just really flattered that you think I'm beautiful." I laugh.
He rarely makes me blush anymore but when he does, he makes a big deal.
"Well, you are." He tells me.
I laugh, "Let's go then. I'm hungry and ready to open presents."
He laughs, "Okay."
We head downstairs.
"Food or presents?" He asks.
I laugh, looking at the tree that's filled with presents under the tree and then I smell his cooking.
"Food. Those present will still be there when we get done." I say and he laughs, knowing I would choose that.
"So would the food." He laughs and takes me into the kitchen.
We eat a big breakfast, ultimately filling my stomach for at least a few hours and he carries me into the living room, setting me on the couch, bringing over all of the presents.
"Okay, I want you to go first." Peeta says.
I shake my head, "You first, please?"
"How about stuff for Willow first?" He laughs.
I smile, "Fine. Get everything that is hers and set it on the table." I say.
He nods and starts gathering tons of wrapped boxes and bags and setting them in front of me.
"Gosh, she's not even here and look at everything she's getting." I laugh, knowing it's just bound to get worse from here.
"Here's from Finnick, Annie and Finn." Peeta says, handing me a bag.
I smile and open it up.
I laugh when I see it's a little purple swimsuit and a little sun-hat.
"Aw, that is so cute." I laugh.
Peeta chuckles, "I bet her and Finn are going to be good friends."
"I hope so. I'm hoping she and Carter will be too." I tell him.
