*Peeta Pov*
As her train picks up speed I stare into her beautiful gray orbs until they disappear.
I wish she would have let me come, but she is very stubborn.
I walk back to the car with my hands in my pockets staring down at my feet.
I don't know why but I feel off without her here, not like myself.
I unlock the car door and drive back home.
I go to Haymitch and Effie's house to pick up Willow, maybe she will make me feel better.
I knock on the door, and a very perky Effie answers. She has my princess in her arms asleep.
Willow's hair is starting to come in, and its just like Katniss's.
Hello Peeta! She says happily.
Hello Effie. I greet her.
I'm just here to pick up Willow. I say.
Oh of course darling I will grab her stuff. She says putting Willow in my arms.
She comes out the doorway with a diaper bag full of things such as 2 bottles, a pacifier, some little socks, and a couple of footsie pajamas.
Thank you. I say putting the bag on my shoulder.
She says goodbye to Willow then I am on my way. As I walk through the cold air she begins to wake up and her blue eyes stare at me.
She is truly beautiful I would do anything for her and Katniss.
Although I feel guilty because so much has been going on so she has been spending a lot of time at Haymitch and Effie's place.
I grab the house keys from our pocket and unlock the door.
As soon as I walk in it doesn't feel right, I can't believe Katniss won't be here for a whole month.
I put Willow in her high chair and grab some formula from the fridge and fill it up in a yellow bottle.
After I am done feeding her I take a look in the pantry to see what I can make.
We have little to no food, so I guess i'll have to make a trip to the grocery store today.
I put a fuzzy coat, and a beanie on Willow so she stays warm and I head out the door. I strap her up in the car seat and drive about five minutes to the store.
I decide I am going to make some chicken and biscuits.
When I was younger I used to always make this dish because my mother would be to lazy to cook.
Although she was awful and mean, I still loved her even if she did not love me back.
I try not to think of the past because I never had the best childhood, but I guess I should be greatful that there was a roof over my head.
I remember when I was eight years old I would talk to Delly about Katniss for hours, and how I would want to go say hello, but I never did.
I would always watch her go home, and i'd even watch her bring Prim to the bakery.
Prim would always beg Katniss to get a cake that I decorated, but Katniss always told her no because of the money and I knew she felt guilty about it.
I snap out of my thoughts and I park right in front of the grocery store.
I get Willow from her car seat and put her in the front of the cart. I go around the store picking up every ingredient I need, and a couple other necessities.
