Get Me Through The Night [Completed]

Chapter 22: Rye Challah Mellark

I groan in pain while Peeta wipes the sweat off my forehead, carrying our baby was so much easier but the birth part hurts more than Willows did. Willow is downstairs with Gale and Hunter, Alessia stayed home with Charlie so the house wasn't too crowded when baby number two got here, my mom once again is helping to birth our baby like last time, I know I could go to the hospital to have this baby but I'm still very... cautious of them so is Peeta and so it's better if we're in the comfort of our own home. As I got more and more into the pregnancy I felt more and more like it was a boy but I could be wrong... I just feel that I had this kind of bond with this baby, don't get me wrong Willow and I have a strong bond but her and Peeta have a bond we don't have... this time I can feel the bond, everytime something reminds me too much of Prim the baby would move around but not too much and give a soft kick just to tell me that he or she is here.

"Okay. You're 8 centimeters now. Not long now" my mom says and I nod, she leaves the room and Peeta grabs my hand

"Thank you... you don't even know how happy I am. You know when my mother would beat me... I'd always think of you and I guess that's ha made it... less painful. I knew that you had found out what was actually happening at home, before throwing that bread confirmed it... but through the entire beatings I thought of you, your greyeyes that are the colour of the cleanest and shiniest silver, hair like a raven, lips soft and always a pinky colour. All those small things got me through those horrible days. Now your giving me two children and I couldn't have thanked you enough for everything you've done" he romantically states

"You're such an amazing husband. I don't even know what on earth I did to actually deserve you" I admit

"It's because you were so brave. I admired how brave you were but you needed someone for when you didn't want to be braves and I guess it was me. Just remember I'll love you forever and till the end of time" he replies putting his forehead against mine

"You know even after all these years you still look just as handsome as you did when when we were 16" I smile making him chuckle

"Don't get me started on how beautiful you were back when we were younger" he replies

"You do realise this is the last one right?" I tell him

"Sure. Can we just acknowledge that when this one was conceived you were the dominant one that time" he remarks but I roll my eyes

"Yeah well you were working on new touch ups for the bakery and I was missing you so I took charge" I defend making him laugh and kiss my temple

"I'm not complaining... I love it when you take charge" he replies with his cheeky, boyish smile and so I smack his shoulder

"Don't be so dirty" I smirk, most people see Peeta as a sweet and innocent soul but when it comes to the bedroom he's a whole different person but I like it cause I'm the only one who gets to see it...

"Come on Katniss! The baby's head is almost out! Just a few more pushes!" Mom encourages me and as I push I saueeze Peeta's hand as hard as I can to get rid of the pain, after many pushes the sound of our baby crying fills the room

"It's a boy!" My mom says with tears in her eyes, she lays him down on my chest as he continues to cry and Peeta cuts the cord, I can't help myself when I start sobbing... I have a son... I have a baby boy... I look to Peeta who's also crying, he's got his own son to carry on his family name

"He's so adorable. My baby boy" I sniff

"I need Peeta to clean him so we can do the rest of the birth" my mom tells me and so I give our baby boy to his father and Peeta bathed him so I can go through what mom calls the after birth and then get me back in bed after changing the bed and my night clothes, not too long after Peeta walks over with Rye wrapped in a baby blanket, sound asleep, I look to Peeta and he smiles while kissing my lips, after my mom does the usual baby things to make sure he's healthy she leaves after cleaning everything
