It's about a year since the hunger games finished and we overthrew the Capitol. By we I mean Peeta and I. Things just haven't been the same without Prim, but I just try and get on even though it still hurts to think about. Mother is now working at our new hospital, and she is really enjoying it. It keeps her busy. Peeta moved in with me because of my horrid nightmares and his frightening flashbacks and outbursts. Right now I feel our relationship is stronger than ever. Anyway, on with our day...
I wake up at about 9:00 and roll over to wake Peeta but find he is already up. I get up and put on a robe and walk downstairs. The smell of cheese buns fills the air. I walk even faster into the kitchen and walk up behind Peeta who is just inspecting the buns in the oven. "Morning handsome" I say in an affectionate voice and give him a kiss on the cheek. "Morning beautiful" he replies, a little startled. "How are you?" He asks. " I'm starving actually!" I say and give a small laugh. "Well good timing then because these are ready now" he says taking the cheese buns out of the oven. He puts them on the bench and I walk over and go to grab one when he stops me. "Careful. There hot" he says and takes my hand away from them. "They will be cool enough to eat in a few minutes". We walk into the living room and turn on the TV. There isn't really anything really interesting on so we watch some documentary on animals. After a few minuets I walk back into the kitchen and grab a cheese bun. " Do you want one?" I call to Peeta. "No thanks. I already ate" he replies. I grab one for myself and sit back on the couch next to Peeta.
I must have dozed off because when I wake it's 12:00. I roll over but find nothing. I get up and walk around the whole house. He's not here I think to myself. I walk back into the kitchen and find some muffins and a note saying:
Dear Katniss,
I have to work in the bakery today.
I made you some muffins, blueberry (your favourite) and some hot chocolate.
I will be home by about 5:00.
Love always and forever,
Peeta
Oh yeah. I forgot he had to work today. I go and take a shower and then put some comfy clothes on. PJ bottoms and a comfy T-Shirt because I'm not really doing anything today. I was just biting into a muffin when the doorbell rings. I sigh but get up and walk to the door. I open it and find Haymitch standing there. "Hi sweetheart" he says. "Can I come in?". I let him through into the kitchen and make him some coffee. "What's the matter Haymitch?" I ask him. "Well I was just wondering if you could get some things for me from town" he replies, pulling out a list. I take it and examine it: Milk, Bread, Coffee... And some other general things. "That's fine" I say. "I'm going shopping tomorrow anyway". "Thanks sweetheart" he says finishing off his coffee and walks out the door.
Before I know it Peeta is home and is cooking dinner. "Can I help?" I ask, helplessly. "I'm fine thanks" he replies, putting some goose into the oven. "I'm done for now anyway". He lifts me up and I giggle as he takes me into the lounge room. He puts me on the couch and he lies on top of me, playfully. "What did you do today?" He asks me. "Well Haymitch came and asked me to get something from town for him. But other than that nothing really. I didn't feel like going hunting" I reply, yawning. "Okay" he replies and jumps off me and walks back into the kitchen. I walk in with him and say "I'm not really hungry and I just wanna go to bed". He turns around and at first I think he is going to be angry but he isn't. "Okay. I'm pretty tired too" he says starting to clean up the kitchen. I help him then we go upstairs and get into bed. I put my head on Peeta's chest and he asks me a odd question "Katniss, do you want kids?". I start to think about it. I know he wants kids really bad. "I'm not really sure yet" I reply, vaguely.
Then I slowly drift off to sleep.
The next day:
I wake up the next morning before Peeta and I go and have a shower. It still amazes me that not so long ago we only had a cold water bath, and now we have a hot water shower. When I come out Peeta is still asleep so I go downstairs and look through the cooking book Peeta has under the stove. I flick to the page with the blueberry muffin recipe and start making them. Peeta then comes down and we say good morning and share in a kiss. When the muffins are just about done a smell fills the air. Not a nice smell, a very, very, nasty one. "Do you smell that?" I ask Peeta. "All I smell is the muffins and they smell delicious" he answers. "Peeta..." I start to say but trail off because I feel the sudden urge to puke. I get to the toilet just in time and throw up. 2 second later Peeta is behind me, rubbing my back and holding my hair back. "Are you okay?" He asks, quite concerned. "Yeah. I guess I just got a stomach bug" I reply standing up. I walk over to the sink and wash my mouth out and brush my teeth. We walk downstairs and Peeta offers to do the shopping but I insist on going with him, I think the fresh air will do me good, I tell him.
We get dressed and walk into town. We do our shopping and I drop off the things Haymitch wanted at his house and then walk back to ours. I was right. The fresh air did make me feel better. I walked into the kitchen and was about to tell Peeta when I see a look in his eyes. That look. He's about to have and outburst. "Peeta" I say in a slow, calm voice. "Shut up you mutt" he replies. I run out the front door and run straight to Haymitche's house. I run in the door and lock it behind me. I run and find Haymitch and tell him what happened. He goes over to our house and I watch through the window. He calms Peeta down and he comes to tell me I can come back now.
I walk into the house and Peeta comes up to me, apologising. I tell him it's ok and we both sit on the couch and Haymitch goes back home. "You know, these outbursts are happening less often now, your medication is obviously working". I say to him. "Yeah I guess" he replies. "Do you want to walk into town with me?" He asks. "Sure" I reply, smiling. We walk into a park sort of thing. It beautiful and green. We sit under and tree and Peeta starts to stand up. Only instead he kneels. He's getting pretty good with his new leg. "Katniss Everdeen, will you marry me?"
