Hidden Blessing [Completed]

Chapter 8: Fourth Of July

Five Months Later

"Gahhhh!" Taylor squeals smiling at Peeta who is making funny faces, I can't believe she's five months old already! These months have gone by so fast and each day Taylor grows, she adores Peeta because every time he finishes work she gets excited and immediately wants him to hold her and she loves going with Peeta when he goes shopping. I smile as Peeta blows raspberries on her tummy which is making her laugh, he's such a good dad and I know Taylor absolutely loves him but there are many days where she'll only want to be held by me which is only when she skips a nap or she doesn't have a good enough sleep but she loves it when I take her for a walk in her stroller, she loves being out in the sun.

"So what's the plan for tomorrow? Seeing as it's forth of July?" I ask Peeta as I rock Taylor to sleep but he just shrugs

"I don't know, I mean my dad's having this dinner thing and then going to the beach to see the fireworks but it depends on what you want to do, we could stay at your moms the entire time, honestly babe it's up to you, I'm fine with what you want to do" he replies and I sigh

"Maybe we could have a lunch thing at my moms then go to your dad's?" I suggest

"Yeah, I guess. Are you sure you wanna go to my dad's? You remember that him and my mom are kind of friends now right?" He warns and I smile

"I know but he'll want to see his granddaughter, just as long as your mom doesn't hold her or touch her then I'm fine" I reply as I look down at our little girl, fast asleep, I stand from the rocking chair and place her in her crib then pulling the blanket up to her chin and take Peeta to our room

"Honestly I don't see why your dad forgave your mom, after all the horrible things she done..." I trail off changing into my PJ's and joining Peeta in bed

"I guess he still loved her in a way but I highly doubt things are the way they were before, she still hates me for encouraging you to keep Taylor" he admits and I roll my eyes

"Well I don't and that's all that matters" I reply making him chuckle

"I'm glad you don't, I'm glad I have you in my life" he sighs

"Your glad? I'm the one who should be glad because you're the best boyfriend any girl could hope for" I reply and before I know it he's hovering over me and I giggle then he starts kissing down my neck making me sigh

"Peeta... we... we can't... Taylor is..."

"Asleep. We haven't done anything since she was born" he mumbles on my neck, I guess it wouldn't hurt would it?

"Okay... but very quietly" I say and he smiles kissing my lips.

"Katniss!" Prim squeals running out of the house and hugging me

"It's been so long! A month is too long" she says as Peeta puts his arm around my waist when we walk inside and the laughter of my family members can be heard through the house even though everyone is in the backyard, my mom comes over to us as Peeta holds Taylor

"Awe look at my beautiful granddaughter. She's getting so big" mom smiles but of course Taylor chooses to be shy and hides from everybody by hiding her face in Peeta's neck, as we walk outside I see all of my younger and older cousins, my aunts, my uncles and my nan and pop

"Aye! It's Katniss!" My uncle Richy says and I smile

"And who are these two?" He asks, I look behind me to see Peeta standing there with Taylor who's still hiding from all the new faces, I just realised that this is the first time Peeta has met my whole family...
