Katniss and Peeta Mellark:There are Far Worse Games to Play

Chapter 11

I fall asleep and I don't have any nightmares. Actually I don't even have any dreams. Well none at least that I remember. I wake up in the morning and find Peeta laying next to me, with Willow in his arms. Peeta's asleep and so is Willow. Peeta's other arm is also wrapped around my shoulders. I wish I could freeze this moment and live in it forever, because its perfect. I lean down and kiss Willow on the forehead and she stays asleep but Peeta wakes up and looks at me sleepily. "Morning sweetie", he says. "Morning Peeta", I reply. "Would you care to explain to me why Willows in your arms?", I ask. "Well, I fell asleep here and then I heard Willow crying and I didn't want to wake you up so I went to settle her and then she wouldn't settle so I walked around for a while rocking her then I came in here when she finally fell asleep, so I could sleep", Peeta explains. "Oh. Ok then that makes sense", I say. After a while, Willow wakes up and just stares up at the both of us. Her beautiful blue eyes look me in the eye and I immediately realize that she already seems to have the same personality as her father. Hopefully she will grow up to be as kind and charming as him. After a little while, Willow starts crying, so I take her downstairs and I get a bottle and feed her. When she's finished, I take her upstairs and put her into the crib. I wrap her up in a soft pink blanket and then as I watch her, she slowly falls asleep.
