Finding the Missing Piece: Book 6

Chapter Forty-One

Katniss POV- (May 24th)

"Bye, guys. We love you and we will see you as soon as you have the baby." Peeta's grandmother tells us.

I laugh, "It's probably going to be soon." I warn, just having a feeling.

"That's alright. We will be down there soon. Are you sure you will be alright with Willow?"

"Yeah, we can handle it." Peeta assures them.

"Okay, if you need anything just holler.  Call me when you get home, please." She says, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"I will." He says and with that we leave the hospital and head back home to District Twelve.

Willow is doing great, she's just sore and bruised up still but the bruising is almost all gone thankfully.

They still say it's a miracle she's even alive and I think so too.

I haven't discussed anything with Peeta about her visit from Prim because I know it'll scare him just as much as it scares me.

I don't want to think about what wouldn't have happened if Prim hadn't shown up for her and I would just say she's exaggerating and made it up or dreamt it up but I really don't think that she did.

I think Prim saved her somehow.

Would she even still be alive if it weren't for some miracle or would she have lived but with a lot of complications?

Besides the memory loss the first day, she's back to normal and shows no sign of any damage whatsoever which I'm extremely grateful for.

The next few weeks is going to be rest time.

They don't want Willow doing anything the next three weeks to get her strength and energy back and I think Peeta and I need to participate in it too.

Sadly, we had to cut our little vacation off early but I'm just so ready to be home and I know Willow and Peeta are too.

My mom agreed to come help out again after today but she leaves to have her brain surgery in a week and I wanted to go but I don't think that I'll be able to-District One is just too far away to be this late in my pregnancy. And Peeta would go but he wants to be here when the baby is born and I want him here too.

I love my mom and I wanted to be there every step of the way with her for that but right now I have to think about my kids first and Willow needs me and Rye should be here soon.

I think we are all just stuck in between a rock and a hard place right now.

"I'm so ready to be home I can hardly take it." Peeta mumbles to me, about a mile out from District Eleven.

I glance over at him and nod, "Me too."

"We aren't doing anything when we get home. We're just going to spend some time with Willow and with each other, alright? We are going to rest."

"Sounds good to me." I say truthfully.

Peeta sighs, "I know I always say that things happen for a reason but it's only May and look at all the shit that's happened so far. What else is there?"

"We can't think like that, Peeta. We will be fine." I say, trying to stay positive.

"Sometimes I wonder. I'm just glad you've been fine this time around." He says.

"Me too."

Peeta takes a deep breath, "I kind of regret buying that stupid building now."

"Why? Willow loves it."
