*Katniss Pov*
My sweet little Willow. I stare at my beautiful newborn in my husband's arms. He really is going to be the best father.
Enjoy her, we wont be getting another one. I say.
We'll see. He says.
I mean it Peeta. I say laughing. He laughs and rocks are baby.
She really is just like her Mama, brown hair, and loves to sleep. He says.
I laugh.
My phone rings and I check to see who it is. It is Johanna.
Hey Jo what's up?
Where the hell are you, I looked in your house and saw that you and bread boy weren't there. She says.
Oh sorry. I say.
Now where are you I'm out of liquor. He says.
I'm at the hospital, do you want to come meet your niece? I ask her.
NO WAY! She says screaming.
I'm bringing everyone there soon! She says to me and hangs up the phone.
We are going to be having some visitors. I say laughing.
Oh great did Johanna find out. He asks.
Yep she is on her way with everyone else.

About 15 minutes later Peeta's phone rings.
It's Gale, he wants me to come bring everyone in because the doctors wont let people in unless visiting a patient.
Okay. I say while taking my baby girl.
He leaves the room and I give my little girl a kiss on the head.
Are you ready to meet everybody my little Willow. They are all so crazy, but they mean good and you'll grow up to love them all.

"Deep in the meadow. Under the Willow. A bed of grass, a soft green pillow. Lay down your head and close your sleepy eyes."
"When they open the sun will rise. Here its safe. Here its warm. Here the daisies guard you from every harm."
"Here your dreams are sweet, and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place where I love you."
♩♬♩♬
Before I know it everyone comes barging in begging to hold Willow.
Step aside. Willow wants to meet her auntie first. Johanna says taking the baby from my grasp.
I am so proud of you. Peeta whispers to me.
I smile and collide my lips with his.
Mommy why is uncle Peeta eating auntie Katniss? Finn says causing me and Peeta to laugh. Annie says nothing and tries to contain her laughter.
They're trying to make another Willow. Johanna says.
Shut up Jo. I tell her.
I am never having another one of those. She was worth it but I feel like I just got punched over and over again. I say.
Johanna I want to hold her now. Haymitch says.
NO. She screams.
She wants to meet her grandfather. He says to her.
Fine, but I will always be her favorite out of everyone here. Even Katniss and Peeta. Johanna says.
That will not be happening, I gave birth to her. I say.
Fine, but shell like me more then Peeta. She says.
No shes gonna be a daddy's girl. Peeta says.
Whatever bread boy. She says.
Auntie Katniss. Finn says walking towards me.
Yes Finn. I say.
Can I hold Willow too. I promise to be extra careful. He says to me with adorable puppy dog eyes.
Sure Finn. I say to him.
Uncle Peeta will help you. I tell him.
Yayyy. He says.
Peeta hands him Willow and he giggles holding her. I will always protect Willow no matter what. He says to me.
Thank you Finn. I say to him.
He hands me Willow and runs to his mother.

After everyone got a chance to hold Willow they all head out for the night. I say goodbye to everyone as they leave.
I hold my daughter as she sleeps and then she starts to cry.
Shhh shhh don't cry darling. I tell her.
Her blue orbs fill with salty tears and I hand her to Peeta to see if he can make her feel better, and he does.
As soon as I hand Willow to Peeta she immediately stops crying and giggles.
Told you she's gonna be a daddy's girl. He says laughing.
Whatever. I say.
Kat you should really take a nap. After all that you must be exhausted. He says to me.
Okay. I say.
I close my eyes and let sleep take over.
