Chapter 48

Peeta's POV

Nothing can explain the feelings that run through my head at this moment. Nothing in the world will make my mind change my thoughts on the night that it was. Nothing. Katniss gave her all to me last night, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. She has finally open up to me and told me what she thought. She didn't need to but she did anyway. And that makes me really happy, because I know everything now. Maybe not everything about what happened when she was in the Capitol but she doesn't need to tell me that all at the same time. That can all come when she is ready. She has already told me a few things about when she was in the Capitol and what I heard was bad enough, but if she wants to tell me one day I will listen, like I always do, because I respect her. She is all I need to survive with besides the obvious things.

What I saw last night from our baby was literally the most magnificent thing I have ever seen in the whole of my existence. It was so beautiful. We saw the tiny kicks of our baby. The first one I felt on my stomach because Katniss was leaning against me but that was so powerful, like I can't even explain how different that felt. The strength of the kick. They are going to be the strongest. Physically they would get that from me. Mentally from Katniss. She is the most strong willed person that anyone in the world would meet.

I can't believe that she heard me talk to the baby all that time ago and remember it. I meant everything I said. And after what Katniss said last night she can't live without me and I will make sure she doesn't have too. I was never going to before, but now I have too because she needs me. She said that on the beach in the arena, but it feels so much more official now. Katniss will never be alone, I will make sure of that.

Katniss is my life. She will always be my life. It always has since I heard her sing all those years ago, about twelve, thirteen years ago. That whole time I was in love with her, she just didn't know until I announced it to Panem. I can still imagine what my mother's expression would be. Her son falling in love with a girl from the Seam. Yeah she was so annoyed when I came back to 12 alive. She never loved me. Never. But that will never happen to our child. Ours will be loved almost too much. She and I know what it meant to be in the Hunger Games and we will never let that happen to our child. Even if Snow dies they might still keep the Hunger Games, but if they are smart then they will make them history. I want to be the one who kills Snow so I know for sure that he will not come back and make the Games go on. That is what I need to do. I kill Snow. And if something does happen to me then Finnick or Gale. They are the people that I trust will do the job.

Katniss's breathing keeps a steady sleeping beat. Beat. Detective Beat. I wonder what happened to Fisher. I hope he is in jail. That is where he belongs. Away from the world for life. I don't want a man like that walking around when we have our baby. Let's just hope he is the only one that comes near this family of ours. That one shouldn't have even come hear us. If I see him again I am going to break his nose. Seriously, he can't do that to someone so kind and gentle. He shouldn't do it full stop.

Katniss's breath quickens and then slows back down. I pull her closer to me and nestle my head in the space between her head and shoulder. I kiss the skin as gently as I can. Katniss yawns and her arm grips my arm. I move my head from the position it was in and I press my lips to hers. A soft, gentle kiss that has so much passion. I pull away and kiss her fore head. My hand makes little patterns on her stomach. "Good morning my absolutely beautiful fiancée." I say looking into her perfect ash coloured eyes. They then close shut as her mouth forms a smile. "Good morning my amazing fiancée." She says brushing my hair back with her fingers.
