Chapter Thirteen

Peeta's POV

Katniss is wrapped in my arms as she snores softly. The baby twitches in her belly and I smile, leaning down and kissing her tight skin. "Let mommy sleep, you kept her up all night."

It moves even more when I do that. Katniss starts to stir so I graze my finger tips against her stretch marks and she smiles, falling back to sleep. The baby calms down and I sigh.

She's very close now to her due date and it makes me nervous and excited. I hear Johanna giggling in her room and I sit up, kissing Katniss's four head and walk into the room.

I see her and a man kissing in her bed and I silently sit next to them. I lean over. "I'm sorry to disturb... But who's this?" She puts her hand on my face and shoves me off the bed. "Go away Mellark, I'm busy." She says between kisses.

I laugh and walk back into my room to see Katniss laying in bed with my sketch book and pencil in hand. She looks up at me and smirks. "Get over here so I can draw you." I smile and kiss her lips softly and rub her belly, where the baby kicks.

"The only way you can is if you get naked for me-" "I'm not getting naked." "I'll make sure you're covered... I want to make a good drawing of you pregnant, and I want to see your whole beautiful pregnant body." She smiles.

"Okay... Now sit." I smile and sit on the bed and grin for her. She sets the sketch pad on her belly and starts doodling me. She stops and grins. "I love your cheekbones." I giggle and after a hour of her drawing she looks up and smiles. "I'm done." I go to grab It but she hugs it against her now swollen breasts.

"No! I don't want you to look at it!" I kiss her lips and smile. I grab it and look at the drawing she made. It looks like the works of a seven year old but I love it. "It's beautiful." She giggles. I flip to the next page. "Can I draw you?" She nods and strips down to nothing. I smile and start drawing after she covered her breasts.

When I finish I sign my name and look at her as she is trying to get on her pants. I walk over to her and kiss her lips, helping her pull them on. I pat her belly. "There you go, and thank you for being my model." She grins. "Whenever you need me I'm here Mr. Mellark." I giggle and Johanna walks in and picks up the sketch book and frowns.

"Not bad... When are you due Katniss?" Katniss swallows. "Next week, as scary as it sounds." She mumbles, rubbing her belly. Johanna looks at me and frowns. "Well who's delivering the baby?" I look at Katniss and her mouth drops. "I don't know." "What about your mom." She says and Katniss looks at her.

"She's in District Four and she wouldn't want to anyways." "Well she's not in District Four... And she said she would love to." "Where is she?" I ask and she smiles. "Downstairs waiting for you guys." Katniss turns pale and I grab my sketch pad and put it under my pillow. "Johanna! Why didn't you tell me?" Katniss says and Johanna taps her cheek. "You're lucky you still have some family, now go say hi." I grab her hand and we both walk downstairs to see her mother drinking some tea.

She looks up and gasps. "Oh Katniss! Look at you!" She hugs her and Katniss looks down at her and wraps her arms around her. "I missed you mommy." "I missed you too." She lets go of her and puts her hands on her belly. "Just beautiful... The baby is just moving isn't it?" She nods and then she looks at me. "Peeta! Look at you, you're looking great!" "Thank you, you look great as well." She giggles and kisses my cheek.

"Your baby is going to be gorgeous... I don't know about the labor though." I smile and Katniss looks at me. "Our baby will be... And that's a promise." I wrap my arm around her waist and then a knock comes from the door. Katniss waddles over to it and opens the door. "Catnip... I need your help." I look over and see a girl in his arms, bloody and unconscious.
