Continuing On

Ch.54

Katniss Pov

I wake up to my wonderful husband kissing me. I kiss back and pull part when I need to.

"Good morning my lovely wife." He smiles down to me.

"Good morning my wonderful husband." I smile back.

"I have to go to the bakery today, do you want me to take Willow?" He asks.

"No I can take care of her." I say even though I don't really know if I could take care of her by myself.

"Okay. Call me or come to the bakery if you need anything." He smiles and pecks me on the lips.

"Okay I love you." I say.

"I love you too." He walks out. I get up and go check on Willow. It's 7 o'clock right now.

When I walk into her room I see that she is still asleep. Considering she decided to wake up 4 time last night, that doesn't really surprise me.

I grab my baby monitor from my room to monitor her incase she needs me. I walk down the stairs and make some toast. I can't screw that up can I?!

When I am done toasting the toast, I out some strawberry jelly on it. And half a banana. The other half I will give to Willow.

Right when I am putting it in the wash, Willow wakes up. I can hear her making the little baby noises in the monitor.

I walk up the stairs and I to her room. She smiles when she sees me.

"Good morning my sweet baby girl." I smile when I walk in.

She laughs. I pick her up and walk down the stairs.

I grab the half of banana and some milk for her. We sit on the couch with her in her high chair seat in front of me. I put her bib on so she doesn't ruin her pajamas.

I cut up he banana so she can eat it. I pick up and piece and give it to her. She takes it and chews it. She eats her banana and drinks her milk.

Then we go and play. I change into play clothes and I change her into her play clothes as well. I walk out to the backyard and set her down. She looks at me.

"I'm going to get you." I smile at her.

She laughs and runs away. I "run" and chase her. When I get her, she realizes that it's her turn to try and get me. She starts to run at me.

This game goes on and on. Then she falls. She cries and cries.

I pick her up and walk back inside the house. I clean up her baby wounds and put a bandage on them. She had a scrape on her knee and elbow.

"All better." I smile.

She looks down, with tears still in her eyes, at her wounds. She looks up at me.

"No more." I smile more trying to make her feel a little better. She smiles.

"Yay Willow is happy!" I pick her up and spin her around.

I lightly throw her and catch her, throw her and catch her. She loves this game. Usually she plays it with Peeta but I will sometimes play it with her. She giggles and giggles.

I love it.

It is music to my ears to hear her laugh or giggle. Her laugh or giggle is soothing to me. It helps me know that she is okay and safe and happy. Just how Peeta's heartbeat is soothing to me. They work the same.

Peeta comes home when we are playing a game of throw the ball back and forth.

"Katniss?" He calls when he opens the door because he can't see me from the door.

"In here." I yell back. Instead of getting a small ball thrown at me, I get a small child in the lap. Willow had decided she didn't want to play this game anymore and wanted to sit in mommy's lap.

She is full of energy because she woke from her nap not that long ago. I smile at her.

"Mommy loves you." I tell her in my baby voice.

She looks up at me. She points to me. "Mama."

I look to Peeta.

"Did she just... First... Umm... What?" I says shocked. She just said her first word.

She points to Peeta, "Dada." She says.

When she sees our faces she smiles.

"That's right Willow, thats mama and I'm dada." Peeta says.

"Mama dada." She giggles.

Gosh I just love her so much. She's so cute. She has her little head full of dark little hairs with her big blue eyes. She's adorable. She couldn't get any cuter.

We all sit around playing all night. She continues to say 'mama' and 'dada' all night. We are sitting in her room. I'm in the rocking chair singing. I'm moving my finger down the middle of her eyebrows. She seems to like that and always falls asleep when I do that.

She eventually falls asleep and Peeta and I go to our room. We crawl in bed.

"I can't believe she said her first word already." He says.

"I know, it's insane." I smile.

"She's too cute." He says.

"Yeah, it's because she looks like you."

"As she has all of your facial features." He laughs.

"No I think she looks like you, especially the eyes."

"Well yeah she inherited my eyes but she looks exactly like you."

"Okay what ever." I laugh.

"Good night. I love you." He kisses my head.

"I love you too."

We fall asleep quickly. Or, at least I fall asleep super quickly. I think he did too though.
