The Girl On Fire & The Boy With The Bread(Fan-Fiction)

Chapter 2

Katniss's POV

  We decided to walk to Haymitch's house in the Victor's village since he was close by. We passed my house or in least my mother's house. I left with Peeta in a new home in Victor's village. We're alone with  Rue. We arrived at Haymitch's house. Effie opened the door not even bothering to knock. There was Haymitch drinking liquor.

"Weren't you the one who said you will quit drinking?"I say.

"Look sweetheart it's my choice not your's."Haymitch mumbled.

  I looked at Peeta if he was paying attention to this awkward conversation which I was losing. He was.

"I guess our Haymitch isn't strong as we thought since he can't quit."Peeta helped me and smiled.

   The corners of my mouth went up and Haymitch ignored Peeta's wise comment. Haymitch was too busy focusing of the baby in my arms.

"So you brought the baby?"Haymitch said in his drunken voice.

"Yes."I nodded and stood closer to Peeta. Peeta's arms wrapped around my waist.

"So why do we have to go back to the Capitol."Peeta got back to the main topic.

   Effie was still next to the door staring at Haymitch's home.

"Well..."Haymitch took a sip of his white liquor and went on."The Hunger Games have begun. Mentors."Haymitch threw the empty bottle of liquor in the ground filled with other bottles.

  I didn't say anything. What's to say? Then I quickly got something but it didn't came out. I looked at Peeta and he had a serious look. He nodded.

"What about Rue?"Peeta asked.

"There is a private daycare for her."Effie jumped in.

"I can't leave her in a daycare. I just got her and I'm not gonna lose her."I argued.

"Sweetheart you're not gonna lose her. You're losing yourself."Haymitch said.

   I looked at Peeta again and noticed that his hands were still around me. I guess I was so comfortable with him I forgot he was even there.

"Well are you ready?"Effie interrupted my thoughts and it looked like she interrupted Peeta's too.

   Tears formed in my face but Peeta quickly let me go and wiped them off. 

"Are you OK?"He asked.

  I nodded slowly and he leaned in for a kiss but I yanked him right into my lips with the baby in my right hand. He pulled away.

"We're gonna crush her"Peeta laughed.

   I laughed along and forgot Haymitch and Effie were still there staring at us with awkward faces . I blushed and I notice Peeta was too. We started to laugh.

"Stop laughing and let's go."Haymitch interrupted our laughter.

   Effie and Haymitch went ahead. 

"Peeta."I whispered.

"Yes"He was starting to leave.

"I love you."I looked at his face.

"I love you too."He smiled and we went off to hell.

Peeta's POV

  I was still shock with the news of going back to the Capitol as mentors. Mentoring two kids from District 12.I will feel too bad seeing them suffer or die in the Games and I will be spoiling them with sponsors without teaching them a lesson on how to survive. Or as "stay alive"quoted from Haymitch.We sat in the car and my hands wrap over Katniss as she sat in my lap with Rue in the car seat.We all sat there no words coming out. It was muteness and I ended it.

"Any tips for mentoring?"I asked.

"Well you teach them to stay alive."Haymitch said.

"I wonder why I knew you were gonna say that."I laughed.

  Katniss smiled. She looked up to me and I saw her worried face and she looked towards her stomach.

"When?"She asked.

"I don't know."I answered.
