Finding the Missing Piece: Book 6

Chapter Six

Katniss POV-

"Bye, Daddy. I love you so so much." Willow says and makes kissing noises into the phone.

A second later she hands me the phone, "I'm going upstairs to wait for you." Willow says hugging my legs.

I pat her head, "I will be right there." I say and she runs upstairs.

(On the phone with Peeta)

"I just want to say first that I am so proud of our baby girl." I tell him immediately.

"That's great. Why?"

"Because she is amazing." I say sitting on the couch.

Peeta laughs, "What did she do?"

"Do you remember Skyler?" I ask him.

"Skyler?" He repeats, cluelessly.

"Yes..."

"I don't think so. Who is it?"

I sigh, "Do you remember that one time we took Carter to the park and there was a little girl who was getting picked on and had gotten hurt?"

Peeta sighs, "I don't really remember, I'm sorry."

"Peeta, really? She was the little girl that asked me if we could adopt her?"

He gasps, "Oh my gosh, yes. I remember that now."

"Anyways, we ran into her tonight."

"How did you know it was her?"

"Willow and I went out to eat. The place was empty except when we went in, there were a boy and a girl at a table."

"Okay."

"Willow and I had been there awhile and then all of a sudden we looked over and the boy was gone and the girl was crying."

"It was the little girl from the park?"

"Yes, only she's thirteen now."

Peeta sighs, "Wow."

"Peeta, she looks so much like Prim."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"So you went to talk to her?"

"Yeah, I wanted to go before but I was afraid Willow would get her feelings hurt but out of the blue Willow insisted on me going over to make her feel better."

"What happened?"

"I went over and we started talking and immediately I had felt that I have seen her before but I didn't know until she said her name."

"So it was really the girl from the park from like what, six or seven years ago?"

"Yes."

"Wow. That is crazy." Peeta says.

I sigh, "We talked awhile and then I had talked her into coming over with us because she didn't have a ride home. I was about to ask her if she wanted anything to eat but Willow immediately asked her if she was hungry and then handed her the other half of her sandwich and insisted she took it."

"That is awesome." Peeta says excitedly, proudly.

"I know and she started talking to her. Skyler really opened up."

"That is great, Katniss. I am so proud of you both."

"Thanks."

"Does she still have problems with her mother?"
