Finding the Missing Piece: Book 6

Chapter Thirty-Eight

Peeta POV- (The next day)

"Where we going?" Willow asks in the car.

"We are going to see your great-great grandma."

"How come she has two greats?" She asks me.

I laugh a little, "Because she's my great grandma so that means she's your great-great grandma."

"I don't get it." Willow says.

Katniss snorts and I laugh, "Don't worry about it, Sweetheart."

"So will her remember me?"

"I'm not sure, baby. She might but you have to remember if she doesn't it's not your fault."

"But I will be sad if her doesn't remember me."

"I know but she doesn't really remember anything lately."

"How come?"

I shrug my shoulders, "When you get old you just forget things."

"Momma isn't old and she forgets things."

Katniss and I laugh, "It's called being a pregnant mother."

Willow doesn't say anything the rest of the way there.

When we get there we go inside and a nurse directs us to her room.

I knock softly on the door.

"Who is it?" I hear her say.

I smile a little, "It's Peeta."

"Peeta?"

"Yes. Can I come in?" I say.

"Okay." My great-grandma says.

I open the door and Katniss and Willow follow me in.

"Oh, I know you guys." She says with a smile.

I smile, "You do?"

"You're my daughter's grandchild, right? Oh, what was your name? There was three of you boys."

"Peeta." I remind her.

"Yes! That's right. Is this your wife?" She asks, pointing to Katniss.

"Yes, Katniss. And this is our daughter, Willow."

"You all look so familiar."

"This is our first visit to District 11 in awhile. We've been so busy." I say.

"Is your wife pregnant?" She points to Katniss's protruding belly.

I smile, "Yeah, she's eight months along with a boy." I remind her proudly.

"That's right, I remember now." She says.

"Really, that's awesome." I say excitedly.

Katniss looks at me and smiles, I smile back.

"Dear, come here." My great-grandma says to Katniss.

Katniss walks over to her bed, "Can I feel?"

"Uh, yeah. Sure." She says kind of awkwardly and scoots closer.

My grandma reaches out and touches Katniss's belly.

"He's a big boy." She says, holding her hand against Katniss.

"Yeah, he's going to be about nine and a half pounds if he's full-term."

"Goodness. My daughter was only seven if I remember right."

"Willow was 8 pounds, 3 ounces." Katniss tells her.
