Healing Scars

Chapter Thirty One

Chapter Thirty One

Today has been boring for me. Johanna is at the doctors for her first ultra sound with Chip, Willow's at Rains house playing, and Peeta is at work.

Then someone walks in through the back door and I see Peeta, his face covered in flour. He grins when he sees me and sits in a chair at the table as I sit on the counter. I get up and walk over to where he sits and straddles his hips with a grin.

He puts his hands on my growing belly and I kiss his lips for a long moment. When I break away I smile. "You know Peeta, we haven't done anything fun for a while and no one is in-" "I'll stop you right there Miss."he pokes my nose. "No sex while you are pregnant, you gotta think of something else to do." I huff as I run my fingers through his blond hair.

"Let's work on the book... We'll put Willow and Chip in." He smiles and nods. And then I move his hands on my belly. "And if you want we can write about the baby." He grins. "That's fine Katniss." He helps me up and I semi walk/waddle to the couch while Peeta brings some cookies, which I have been craving for the past few weeks.

My hand starts writing about Willow on the yellow sheet of paper. "Weeping Willow Mellark is me and Peeta's first born. She is what any mother would want from a child, maybe even more. She is beautiful, she is caring, she is stubborn, she is loyal, she is curious, she is smart, she is a child and nobody can't make her grow up any quicker. She hunts like me, but sometimes she doesn't like the blood. She bakes with Peeta and she is getting quite good at it as well... But she is very good at mending open wounds and broken hearts. When Willow came into the world every scar on my body from the rebellion stopped aching, my heart started beating, it was like God told me I could live again, with this beautiful gift he gave to Peeta and I... So I took the chance."

I let a few tears roll down my cheeks and smile as Peeta brushes them away while I sit in his lap. He wraps his arms around me and sets the book on my belly and then moves his hands to rub the side.

"Now no kicking junior, daddy's going to be drawing." The baby kicks once which I don't like but I do smile at. He starts drawing Willow and after thirty minutes of his pencil caressing the paper it's finished and I see Willow, standing with Squirt in her arms with a big grin.

I then grab the pen and start writing about Chip and Peeta draws him when I'm finished. Then we go to the baby. At the top I just write baby boy. "Well we really don't know who you are yet but we are excited to learn though. I hope you look just like your daddy and sound just like him when your older. I know I'm not being realistic but if you do have traits of my family in you... I'll love you all the same. You have a sister named Willow and she's so excited to meet you, she's always wanted to be a big sister. But if you try to live in the world... Then I'll try." After I finish Peeta draws me with my hands on my belly with a outline of a baby on the inside.

I grin and kiss his lips gently. The baby kicks when we kiss and I giggle. "You like that?" Peeta whispers and it starts kicking wildly when Peeta kisses me. I put my hands on my belly.

"Calm down sweetheart, I know you are just so excited." The baby let's one more kick out and then calms back down. My belly starts moving a little bit and Peeta raises his eyebrows.

"What's that." I put my hands on the tight skin and feel it move as well. I laugh. "I think the baby has the hiccups." Peeta laughs and rubs my belly as it moves when it hiccups. "It's okay little guy, calm down." He says but it doesn't so I flip through the pages of the book as Peeta runs my belly.

Then Willow walks in with a smile. "Hi mommy! Hi daddy!" She walks over and gets into my lap with a sigh. Then she feels it move. "Mommy, do you have the hiccups?" I shake my head. "The baby does sweetie." I say and she giggles. "Aww." Then she kisses the tight skin on my belly.

"It's okay baby, I don't like having hiccups either." The baby kicks and it startles me but I settle back down. Willow lays her head on my belly and sighs as it moves. She grabs the book. "Mommy can you read this to me?" I nod and turn onto Finnicks page after reading for a little while and Peeta braiding my. She points to Finnick.

"That's Finnick Odair!" I look down at her. "How do you know that's Finnick?" I ask and she smiles. "Rain told me about him, apparently he sees him around our house sometimes... Actually he sees a lot of people around our house." That instantly creeps me out and I have to turn the page.

We read well into dinner time. Willow falls asleep on my now not moving belly. Then Peeta grabs a blanket from behind us and puts it over our bodies.

I move my head so I can kiss him goodnight, and I do but when I break away I don't want to. I lay my head back on his chest and sigh. "I love you Peeta." He kisses the top of my head. "I love you too Katniss."
