Finding the Missing Piece: Book 6

Chapter Thirty-Four

Katniss POV- (May 21st)

"Katniss Mellark, get up." Peeta says, running his fingers up and down my back.

"What?" I ask him with a groan.

He laughs, "Your doctor's appointment is soon." He says leaning down and kissing my cheek.

I feel a smile creep up on my face.

"Do you know what this one is about?"
He asks me.

"It's the last one before we bring our baby boy into the world." I say excitedly, opening my eyes.

"That's right."

Peeta smiles, "You know, nine months is a long time." He says.

"I feel like I've been pregnant for two years." I say truthfully and he laughs.

"I feel like you've been pregnant that long too."

I smirk.

"Get up so we aren't late. We have a lot to do today ." He says kissing my huge belly.

"But sleeping sounds easier." I say truthfully.

He snorts, "Come on, crazy."

I hold my hands out and he takes them and helps me sit up.

"I can barely breathe." I say truthfully.

Peeta chuckles, "Stand up then, it'll help a little." He says helping me.

I finally manage up and he leans forward, giving me a kiss on the forehead, "I'm gonna go wake up Willow and take her to school."

I frown, "I feel bad that she doesn't get to come today. She's gone to all of his appointments and is gonna miss the last one."

"It's her last day of kindergarten, Katniss, she can't really skip that. It'll be alright."

"So today was have my doctor's appointment, Willow's graduation, and then Finn's birthday party is tonight." I say.

"I think so."

"I can't believe he is already seven." I say sadly.

It seems Carter, Finn and Willow were all just babies yesterday and now there's Carson and will be two more of them soon.

I wish time would slow down.

"Me either but let's try not to be late to your appointment so we can make it to Willow's program." He says.

"Hopefully it won't take long with Dr. Coles."

I would never forgive myself if I missed Willow's kindergarten graduation and I want to be there for everything she does in school, my mother never was there for my stuff.

"I'm sure it won't take too long." He says.

I sigh and look through the closet for something to wear and the hardest part is finding something that fits.

Luckily, Peeta bought me a summery dress for my birthday and it's working out perfectly because it's the only nice thing that fits me right now-forget being big with Willow-I'm definitely bigger and I'm not even full term yet.

5 more weeks and I will be.

"Will you be okay here by yourself until I get back?" Peeta asks me.

I nod my head, "I'll be fine. I am just gonna go fix my hair."

He groans, "Fine, just be careful."

"I am just fixing my hair. Calm down." I say, rolling my eyes.
