Real- A Katniss and Peeta fanfic

Chapter ~12~

Katniss POV

It's been almost a year since Peeta and I got married. I still can't believe that my life could really be this good. Peeta is the best husband ever. We both still have nightmares, and Peeta occasionally has a flashback, and we're both still broken, but we make each other whole. Gale lives here in Twelve now. So does Johanna. They started dating about a month after the wedding. I'm really happy for them and I think that they're good for each other. Annie still lives in here in the Victors Village with us, but not in our house. Peeta and I are still pretty loud at night. Besides, there are plenty of empty houses here. My mom had to go back to District Four, but she visits often. Haymitch still drinks, but he is getting better. He constantly teases us about how loud we are and everything, but he truly does care and he is basically family. I still cry for all of those I've lost. I also know that I am happy for those that I have here with me now.

I wake up to Peeta kissing my neck. I roll over and say "Peeta, not already! I'm still too tired from last night." He laughs and says "Well I was just trying to wake you up in a pleasant way because you aren't always the most pleasant person to be around in the morning." I sit up and say "Is that so? Well I was going to invite you to get in the shower with me, but apparently I'm unpleasant in the mornings, so..." Peeta says "Well okay then you're being pleasant this morning!" I smile and kiss him. "So Mr. Mellark, would you like to shower with me?" He smiles back and says "Yes Mrs. Mellark, I would quite like that!" We get up and hop in the shower. Peeta turns the water (and me) on. I run my hands over Peeta's chest and he says "Katniss I think it works a little better if you actually use soap." I get some soap, then, and start rubbing it over Peeta's body. Once I'm done he washes me. I still feel sparks wherever his hands go. We get ourselves rinsed off and we get out. Once we're dried off I put on a pair of jeans and a sweater. It's February and it's cold. Peeta is already downstairs making breakfast.

As soon as I walk into the kitchen he gives me a kiss before placing a mug of hot chocolate in my hand. I sit down at our table as Peeta cooks pancakes. We go to see Annie and Nick. He can crawl now and he's learning to walk. As soon as Peeta picks him up, a smile forms on both of their faces. I smile at Annie. Nick will never know his father. But Annie and Peeta and I will always love him. We talk with her for a while before heading over to Haymitch's. He is actually awake and not totally drunk. As soon as we sit down he says "You know this Winter has been nice. It's cold so you leave your window up all night. I can still hear you but it's not quite as horrible. In the spring and summer I was about ready move! Every. Single. Night. I'm pretty sure that you just kept getting louder, just to annoy me probably." I feel my cheeks heating up. Peeta just chuckles and says "We can be louder Haymitch!" He shouts "No I'd never get any sleep then!" I chuckle and say "Okay, but stop complaining!" He says "If you were me you would be complaining too! Do you guys seriously not realize how loud you are!" We eat lunch and then talk to Haymitch for awhile. We go home Peeta says "Would you like to invite Gale and Johanna over for dinner?" I nod and he calls them. They arrive an hour later.

I am glad Peeta and Gale don't seem to mind each other anymore. Johanna and I are good friends too. She still loves to tease us, but she is also really caring. Peeta cooks some stew and bread while I fix a salad. We make small talk during dinner. Peeta and I go into the kitchen to do the dishes, and leave Gale and Johanna alone in the dining room. We get them cleaned quickly. I steal a kiss before we walk back out. I instantly turn around when I see the scene in front of me. Johanna is on top of Gale. Their mouths are pressed together. Peeta clears his throat twice before they hear it. Gale's cheeks heat up but Johanna stays cool. She sees my expression and says "What Brainless? We saw you and Peeta naked together in bed! And we've heard you. Oh, and remember the elevator? When Peeta unzipped my dress and was all checking me out and you were all aaagh! I don't think this should make us too uncomfortable." She does have a point. I see Peeta's and Gale's cheeks are both pink. I chuckle a little. Gale and Johanna leave a little later.

As soon as they are out of the door my lips find Peeta's. I surprise him with my urgency. I wrap my legs around him and he carries me up to our bedroom. I curl my fingers into his hair and open his mouth with mine. The next thing I know my shirt is being pulled off. I smile into the kiss and put my hands into Peeta's pants. I get them off and I feel Peeta's hands running up my torso to my chest. I break away from the kiss to get my pants off. I feel my bra falling away from my chest. We shed the last remaining bits if clothing and the rest of the night is history.

I wake up with my body plastered to Peeta's. It's his birthday today. I climb on top of him and wake him with a passionate kiss. He smiles into my lips as he wakes up. When we break apart I say "Peeta I have a surprise for you." His eyes sparkle as he flips us over so that he is on top. He kisses my neck and I moan. I say "Not that Peeta! Okay, we can later but for my surprise today we're going to have to get dressed." He says "Too bad, you look nice clothes-less." I chuckle and get out of bed. I can feel Peeta's eyes following me and I smile. I dress in leggings and a sweater dress. Peeta gets up and puts on jeans and a sweater. I take his hand and lead him downstairs. We put on our boots and coats and head out. Peeta puts his arm around my waist and I put my arm around his shoulders. We walk like this into town.

I tell Peeta to cover his eyes. He does and I lead him to our destination. Once we get there I gently remove his hands from his eyes. After a moment of recognition his eyes pop. His mouth falls open and he stares in disbelief. He turns to me and I feel a wide grin spreading across my face. The corners of his eyes crinkle and they are adorable. I see tears running down his face as he smiles and pulls me into a hug. Once I am out of his arms I say "So you like it?" He laughs and says "Katniss you rebuilt my bakery! It's beautiful! I love it!" I smile at him and kiss him roughly, yet lovingly.
