~4 Years Later~

Peeta and I rush around the kitchen trying to pack the kids lunches today is their first day in Elementary school and we're rushing around as quick as we can, packing three lunches, three bags, it's pretty difficult. We've been to a recent doctors appointment, they've become more frequent because just last month Brooke and Jayden stopped breathing and were rushed to hospital with me in the ambulance, it was the most scariest moment of my life, they were in the hospital for two weeks and didn't wake up till the next week and we were so happy when their eyes had opened. Now the 'another baby' popped up in a conversation but I told Peeta not till we're sure that the kids health improves.

"Mommy! I want TV!" Brooke squeals frustrated, she's been wanting the TV on but she knows the rule, no TV unless we're on a big trip

"Peeta" I sigh knowing she'll listen to you

"Brooke. Listen to your mother please" Peeta says and she crosses her arms and pouts

"You see why I doubt about having more" I say as we stop at a light and he chuckles shaking his head

"It'll only be one more" he states and I roll my eyes

"Yeah three kids and a newborn, great combination" I reply as we pull into the school, we say goodbye to the kids and they walk into school together making me smile and Peeta drives out

"Come on! Don't you miss the baby days?" He says

"Sure but there was vomit, poopy diapers, messes everywhere" I reply

"Come on Katniss, we haven't had proper sex since the twins were born" he admits pulling into the driveway

"Peeta!" I say slapping his chest

"What?! It's the truth" he says as we unstrap our seat belts

"Are you hinting something?" I say raising an eyebrow and he smirks

"Maybe..."

"Oh no you don't. We're not having sex! I've got errands to run" I say and he chuckles

"I don't know how you could stay away for this long" he says as we walk through the door of our house and I smile shaking my head

"It hasn't been easy, trust me"

"What's so bad about it though?" Annie asks, I just asked her about what Peeta had asked me about having another baby

"The kids health is just not what I want it to be, a specially for Jayden and Brooke who I get up during the night just to see that their chests are moving. No one with a healthy baby will never know the pain of seeing your two youngest in hospital with cords everywhere just to help them breathe" I reply and she sighs

"Listen, I know that I don't know how you feel, I can't imagine the stress but I think Peeta is just feeling... like he doesn't matter to you anymore. Tell me, when was the last time you went on a date night?" She asks and I go to answer but nothing comes to mind

"You see. You both have never had a night away from the kids, you're always too stressed about the children but your kids are good kids and I know that the world won't take them. Trust me their health will improve" she explains and I sigh, she's right, we've always been home with the kids and never alone till bed and by then I'm already exhausted and Peeta is always so tired from work

"You're right but I'm still not sure about it" I say

"Katniss. Come on you two haven't done anything with each other, it's about time you both just go out and have fun" she says

"What about the kids?" I ask

"Drop them at your mom's house for the night, Macky and Michael will be there with her. You know that if anything happens she'll call" she replies and I sigh, she's right Peeta and I do need time with each other.

"Peeta" I sigh as we get into bed

"Yeah?"

"Do you feel like that I think you don't matter to me anymore? Be honest" I state and he sighs

"Honestly... yes, I do. I know that the children's health is what your mind is always on but I'm here feeling like I don't matter and that all you care about is the kids not me" he finishes, Annie was right

"Why didn't you tell me?" I frown and he shrugs

"Because, you were so occupied and stressed. Thought not to bother you with it" and I sigh straddling him and his hands go to my hips

"Peeta, you're my husband, my lover, the only one for me. I love you and when you need me just say something, I'll be here okay?" I say and he nods, I decide to now make it up to him and so I pull my shirt off over my head revealing my orange lace bra and Peeta gulps and I can feel the effect this has on him

"I'm going to make it up to you" I whisper

"But Katniss the kids are---"

"Shhhhh" I say putting my finger to his lips

"You mustn't talk. Wait for later to be louder"
