Together Against All Odds

Chapter 11- Moving in

As soon as Peeta found out that we were having a little girl he obligated for me to move into his house. At first, I was against it considering that we'd only known each for basically five months but Peeta somehow got me to move in. Dear Prim, Johanna, and Annie helped me pack everything in less than four hours and by mid-afternoon all of my things were packed into twenty five storage boxes and into a U-Haul moving truck; that would be delivered to Peeta's house. In all honesty, it was pretty hard to leave the apartment Johanna and I worked so hard to get. Johanna had been my best friend since the freshman year of high school. Knowing my hormones were kicking in, both her and I cried for about half an hour on the sofa of the living room. It was the first furniture we bought for the apartment as young adults. I still remember the apartment being bare empty besides the homecoming sofa that we'd both slept in together for about a month until we had enough money to buy two sets of queen beds.

"If you ever need to take a breather, your room is always be waiting for you, babes." Johanna said as she wiped away tears off her mascara stained face.

"Thank you for everything, Jo." I said wiping some more tears off her face just as she did mine.

"Promise me you'll bring the little one here every once in a while" Johanna says crying another avalanche of tears.

"You can bet on it" I said as Peeta pulled up front.

"I love you, brainless" She sniffs and attempts to smile.

"Would you like to come help me unpack my things at Peeta's? I'll surely need some help and Prim has to go back to school soon. Annie has her day cut out today since she's helping Haymitch" I ask her hoping she'll come.

"I'd love to" She says as she carefully hugs me since my babygirl seems to be growing everyday.

"Holy fuck, is this really your house?!" Johanna says in awe as she takes a step into Peeta's house.

"Yes, I've always liked spacey houses, and as soon as I had enough money to pay for it I immediately bought it" Peeta explains to her as he brings her a bottle of water from the cooler.

"So where's your room Katniss?" Johanna asks as we step into the living room.

"Oh come on, I'll show you" I say pulling her off the sofa to show her.

"Hey Johanna?" Peeta says as we're exiting.

"Yes?" She responds looking back at him.

"If you don't mind, can you help Katniss with the staircase?" He asks politely of her.

"I do not need help" I say like a baby stubbornly.

"Yes, you do. Funny how you're carrying a child and are acting like one" Peeta smirks. 

"asshole" I hiss under my breath. 

"What was that sweetheart?" Peeta says loudly with a snobby edge. 

"Nothing baby" I smile then roll my eyes as I surrender and graciously take Johanna's hand as she leads me up the stairs. 

I lead Johanna to 'my room,' the exaggeration because this room is basically a closet space for Peeta and I's things that are too much to put into the room. I have my own closet to keep all of my non- paternity clothes. None of my old clothes seem to fit which ultimately sucks since I feel like a inflated balloon version of myself. 

I then snap out of my thoughts realizing that Johanna is going through my clothes and picking out the things she likes for herself then, slyly tries to stuff it in her bag.

"Hey, hey, hey what in the world do you think you're doing?" I snide as I snatch the clothes out of her grasps. 

"WHY DID YOU NEVER WEAR THIS CLOTHES WHEN YOU LIVED WITH ME, YOU USED TO DRESS IN YOGA PANTS AND FLANNEL.. WHEN DID YOU GET ALL OF THIS?!" Johanna yells practically blowing my eardrums out. 

"First of all, that was very offensive. Secondly, Peeta bought me a few things, I haven't even gotten the chance to wear them since this little gal in here makes it practically impossible to fit into anything a decent sized human would wear"  I sigh a little envious of Johanna's slim figure. 

"Oh shut up, you're the hottest pregnant woman I've seen. My gosh, have your boobs grown! What are they double D's, everyone is going to think you got some major work done after you pop that baby girl out of your cooch" She laughs as she winks toward my breast. 

"You're so weird, now stop trying to hog all of my clothes and let me show you the baby's room"I tell her pushing her out of 'my room.'

*** 

"Promise me you'll call me everyday!" Johanna says as she resists to let me go of our embrace. 

After about six hours of showing her every inch of Peeta's, or as he tells me to say "our house," Johanna decides to go home around midnight. 

"I will, brainless" I wink as I give her a small kiss on the forehead. 

She then clenches her jaw, tightens her lips together, and wearily give me a rueful smile as she runs to her car most likely crying since she never runs unless when she wants to hide her emotions. As I close the door and head inside I walk into the living room, finding Peeta with a fire set and patting the spot next to him signaling for me to lie down next to him. 

"Hey there beautiful, come here" Peeta says and helps me find a comfy spot under his shoulder and laying on the side of his torso. 

Me: Peeta we're having a babygirl

Him: I know, my little princess will be here soon

Me: Hey, I thought I was your princess

Him: You my love, are my queen

Me: And soon your princess will be here in your arms

Him: Babe?

Me: Yes?

Him: Would you ever have more kids with me or just this one accidental sperm donor one?

Me: Honestly, I don't know.. I'm beyond terrified to have this baby I don't know what I'd do if I had to do this again. If it's be something I could emotionally go though again. I'm sorry

Him: No don't apologize, I understand and respect any decision you decide to make Katniss

Me: Thank you 

Him: Another question..?

Me: Go on

Him: Would you ever marry me ?
