"Together?" "Together." (COMPLETED)

Chapter 7

Peeta's POV

I flutter open my eyes and see Katniss still sleeping peacefully on the other side of the bed. I look at the clock and it reads 7:00am I groan because I have to go back to the bakery today since I haven't been there due to Katniss being in the hospital. I quickly get up and get ready and leave a note for Katniss so she doesn't get worried when she wakes up. I grab my stuff and walk out the front door.

As I arrive at the bakery I unlock the doors and flip the close sign to open. I put on my apron and start my work.
•••
The bakery has been quite busy today and I haven't really got a break but I guess that's what happens when you open a bakery under your family's name. I set a few of my new cakes in the glass showcase and see a little girl looking at me and the cakes. "Oh daddy look at this cake!" The little girl squeaks in joy. "Can this be my birthday cake?" The father looks at the cake price and widens his eyes. He pulls out his wallet and counts his money. You could just tell by his facial expressions he didn't have enough. He pulls his little girl to his side and says, "honey look at these cakes over here aren't they as beautiful." "But daddy I like that one." She frowns. "I know sweetheart but I don't have enough money right now can you please just get one of these." The father asks. The little girl nods with a frown and her father asks me for the cake. "May I please have this cake?" He asks. "Of course!" I say with a smile. "Let me get a fresh one from the back." I say as I move towards the back of the bakery. As I grab a cake box I don't put the cake the man asked for, I put the cake the little girl wanted. As I return to the front with the cake the father pays and i hand the cake to the little girl. "You wanna see something special?" I ask her. She looks up and nods to me as I open the cake box for her. "Look the special cake you wanted!" I say with a smile. The father has no words but tries to return the cake. "No sir, it's on me for her birthday!" I smile. "How old are you sweetie?" I ask. "I'm going to be 6!" She says with excitement. "Wow you're becoming a very beautiful young lady." I state as she giggles. I return to my feet and the father shakes my hand and thanks me. I've never been so happy to see a little girl's smile that wide.

Katniss' POV
I knew Peeta had to go back to work today so I didn't really freak out when I saw him not by my bedside. Instead I got ready and made my way down to my mother's house. I knock on the door and she quickly answers. "Good morning Katniss." She says as she hugs me. "Good morning!" I say as a plant a kiss on her cheek. I walked inside and we started to have a conversation. I haven't seen her in so long and now she's staying here with me, Peeta, and her grandchild. She starts talking about working in the hospital and how she got asked to be the head of the hospital. As I rub my swollen stomach I can see tears fill up in my mom's eyes. "What do you hope it is?" I ask her. "You know I would love to see another little you run around the house." She laughs as she wipes a tear away from her eye. "That's what Peeta hopes it is too, a girl." I say as I look down at my stomach. "Hopefully he/she should be here soon." I say. "I'm almost full term." I smile. For the rest of the day I was talking to my mom. It feels like I've only been there for 30 minutes but I've actually been there for over 4 hours. I look at my mother's clock and it read 6:45pm. Oh man, Peeta is probably wondering where I am. "I should probably start to get home. Peeta is probably worried sick." I laugh as I give my mother a hug. "I'll come see you tomorrow!" I say before walking out. "I'll be at the hospital. Come visit around 3:30 it's my lunch break!" "I will!" I say before closing the door.
•••
I'm soon back to my house and I slowly open the door. I walk in and couldn't find Peeta. He is normally always in the living room after a hard day at the bakery. "Peeta?!" I say as I walk towards the steps that lead up the second floor. "Peeta?!" I say again. That's when the noises hit me. They were screams. Peeta was having a flashback.
•••
I run to the door where I hear my husband screaming and throwing stuff at the wall. He was in our guest room. "Peeta! Let me in!" I say banging on the door. I know how to make him calm but it seems like he locked himself in there so he wouldn't hurt me. "Peeta please!" I scream. That's when I hear the words that hit me right in the chest, the words he said when he was rescued from the capitol and brought to 13. "You're a stupid mutt!" He screams. "You should've just died in the arena like you were suppose to!" He screams louder. I back away from the door crying. "This isn't Peeta Katniss." I say to myself but it didn't work I practically broke down in tears and ran into our room. I slam the door and lock it just in case he were to get out. I slide my back down on the door and curl up with my face in my arms crying.
•••
The flashback lasted a good 30 minutes till Peeta snapped back. I'm still balling my eyes out when I hear the guest bedroom door open. Peeta's loud footsteps make there way towards the door. "Katniss?" He cries out. "Katniss, please let me in." He cries. I open the door to see Peeta with tears streaming down him cheeks. I run up and hug him practically balling my eyes out. "What did I say?" I asks as he wipes my tears away. "Y..you called me a mutt." I say. "You told me I should've died in the arena like they wanted me too." I cry. "Katniss I'm so sorry." Peeta cries as he hugs me. "I love you so much. If you died and I lived I would never have been able to live with myself." He cries. We didn't say anything else Peeta just picked me up and carried me to our bed where we found both of ourselves fast asleep
