Finding the Missing Piece: Book 5

Chapter Two

Peeta POV-

"Katniss?" I ask softly.

I sigh and walk over, "Katniss, the baby is hungry. Can you feed her? And then you can go back to sleep." I say.

I'll be glad when she starts getting to use that breast pump, it'll help tremendously.

She wakes up and without words, I walk over and she strips her shirt off and her bra too. She says it's easier and didn't want to waste money on stuff she would only be using for short period of time.

Katniss scoops her out of my arms and without any trouble, begins feeding Willow. 

"I'm gonna go downstairs for a bit, while you do that." I say awkwardly.

I still haven't completely adjusted to this whole thing, neither has she.

"Peeta, stop. I know this is weird to watch, it's weird for me too but please don't leave?" She sighs.

I turn back, "Okay." I say and walk back over.

I sit on the edge of the bed.

"It's only as weird as you make it and you know I'm way more embarrassed than you are."

"I know you are, but you shouldn't be. I'm not trying to make you feel weird. I just don't know how you really feel about this all."

"Peeta, you've seen way more of me than this and you've seen my boobs many times, as long as you are okay, I am too." She says.

"I'm fine with it." I say.

"You know that everytime I feed her, Dr. Coles wants us all three shirtless." Katniss laughs.

"Why me?" I ask her with wide eyes, she giggles.

"Because you need to bond with her too."

"I think I got it." I chuckle.

Katniss sighs, "Try it. I want you to be apart of this too."

"Baby, I think we are bonded just fine. You should've seen her earlier." I laugh, remembering her stare-down.

"What did she do?" Katniss laughs a little.

"Well, I showed her our house and no matter what I seemed to try and show her, she wouldn't quit staring at me, you see, just like she's doing now." I point.

Katniss looks down to see Willow's eyes on me again, still suckling away.

I chuckle, "I don't get it."

"It's cause she knows you're her dad and she says, 'That's the crazy guy that's been talking to me all this time?'" Katniss says, smirking at me.

I laugh and shake my head, "Well, if that's the case then we should be perfectly bonded if she knows that this early."

"What, you don't want to join the almost naked party?" Katniss laughs.

I chuckle, "No, I really don't, it's still very cold outside."

"Then you should cuddle with us to keep us warm."

"I think I can do that with my shirt on." I smirk.

"You're no fun."

I know she feels silly, having to be all exposed and then to have Willow do what she does.

"Then strip her down, you're the only one shirtless!" I tease her.

"Next time, I don't want to piss her off." Katniss laughs and pecks my lips.
