"You need to shave..." I mumble as my cheek touched his stubby jaw and cheek.

He chuckles.

"You're getting cold if i leave the bed." He argues.

He has a point, i just woke up from a nap i took after lunch. Being tried all the time is another lovely side effect of being pregnant. I'm laying in his embrace in our bed and yes, he keeps me warm.

"Okay then, i'll have to come with you." I say and sit up.

He chuckles and shakes his head as he follows me to the bathroom. He closes the door after him before he opens a drawer of his.
We have a lot of drawers, some of them only with his stuff, and some with only mine. I also have the stuff every girl needs once in a month hidden in these drawers, not that i'm using them in this condition anyway.

"Isn't shaving boring?" I ask him suddenly when he's shaving his jawline, his amazing jawline...

"Well yeah, sometimes. But with your company i don't mind." He answers moving up the shaver to his cheek.

I roll my eyes.
"I'm just quiet. What's the fun in that?"

He puts down the shaver and turns to me where i sit on the bathroom counter. He leans his back against the counter.
He watches me seductivly before answering the question.

"'Cause i have you here, all alone." He whispers and leans in for a kiss.

I meet him halfway and our lips touches.
I wrap my arms around his neck and he places his hands on my belly. The kiss turns french and soon enought our thounges explores each other mouths.
I feel her kick inside and i feel Peeta's lips is forming a smile against my own.
Suddenly i feel a really strong kick from her and Peeta immediately breaks away and gasps.

"Whoa!! Sorry for ending that but that was a really strong kick!! Are you okay?" He asks worried.

"Yes Peeta, i'm fine." I giggle.

"Haven't we got a strong girl huh??" He says and bends down so his face is in level with my belly.
"Just like your mother." He looks up at me and smiles.

"Mummy and Daddy loves you so much! We can't wait to meet you." He tells her and kisses my baby bump.

"You're going to be an amazing father, Peeta. I know it." I say and smile at him as he stands up straight to face me.

"And you're going to be an amazing mother." He smiles and gives me one last kiss on my nose.

I've just started helping Peeta at the bakery. Not baking, of course.
It took a while to convince Peeta though.
He doesn't want me to work or overstrain myself. Especially not while i'm pregnant.
But i couldn't stand being home another day, it's so boring.
Peeta has two employes right know, and me.
I do some paper work, stand in the cashier and do the dishes.
Just the work boys think is boring. Sure, Peeta stands by the cashier too. But when he's busy i do it.
Peeta's emplyes are sick today so it's just me and him. It's november and almost december so in a couple of weeks there are going to be people at the bakery all the time.
But Peeta didn't let me work then, the stress isn't good for you and the baby is his argument. Well it's not so i can't argue with him.

Just as i stand with the dishes after closing time i hear the door opens.
I hear Peeta descend from upstairs.

"Sorry, we have closed for today." I hear Peeta when he gets to the front.

When it's just quiet.
I can't hear any movements someone speaking, only Peeta's heavy breaths and the other person's.

I try of my hands off on my apron and walk from behind the cashier.
