KATNISS POV

After setting up both of our laptops we decide to head downstairs. I leave the room and instantly smell food. I walk into the kitchen where the smell is coming from, with Peeta close behind, and see mum rushing around still in her PJ's.

"Thank goodness you two are dressed!" She exclaims handing her apron to me. "I need you both to start on the vegatables for me okay?" She asks and look back to Peeta.

"Sounds good to me" He says grabbing another apron. I sigh and put my apron.

"Thank you, I need to get ready" She says leaving and shutting the door.

I sit on the counter and place the bin between us. Peeta joins me and we start to peel the carrots. After 20 minutes of silence Peeta speaks up.

"I still can't believe your parents bought me a mac" Peeta says, dropping the peeler on the counter, along with the carrot he was peeling. I laugh a little remembering his face when he un-wrapped the present.

"What's funny?" Peeta asks.

"Nothing I was just remembering your face when you opened it up, that's all" I say putting my peeler down. I laugh even harder at the thought and Peeta jumps off the counter.

"What are you doing?" I ask him.

"This!" He shouts grabbing my waist and lifting me off the counter. He grabs my legs for extra support and being to spin around. 

"Peeta!" I shout as he continues to spin. I laugh and wrap my arms around his kneck. He finally stops spinning but keeps me in his arms.

"so you find this funn-" He starts but I cut him off with a kiss.

"Yes" I say inbetween breathes. "Very"

He smirks through the kiss sits me on the counter. Just as I am about to kiss him again we hear someone clear there throat from the doorway. Peeta immediatly removes his hands from my waist and I blush as I see it is my dad. 

"Uhh how much of that did you see?" I ask shyly.

"Enough" He says walking into the kitchen and taking over. Me and Peeta quickly leave the room and as soo as the door is shut we burst out laughing. We go to sit in the living room but as soon as I sit down the doorbell rings.

"I'll get it!" I shout as I run to the door. I open it and see my grandparents carrying large bags of presents.

"Grandma! Grandpa!" I shout giving them each a hug and taking a bag of them. I carry them into the living and place them under the tree. They follow me through into the room and Peeta stands to greet them. 

"Guys this is Peeta, Peeta these are my grandparents" I say and they shake hands and kiss cheeks. 

"It's lovely to meet you both" Peeta says sitting back down on the couch. They both take a seat on the opposite couch just as prim comes charging into the room.

"Grandma! Grandpa!" She shouts gving them both a large hug.

"Primrose!" Grandma exclaims," Your getting so tall" She says and Prim blushes. She hates attention. Prim takes a seat between them and mum comes in the room.

She greets them both and sits on the couch next to Peeta. Next to arrive in the room is my dad and sits down next to mum after saying a quick hello to them both. I look around and don't see a space for me so I take a seat on Peeta's lap. He wraps his arms around me without thinking and we earn a glance from my Grandma.

"So how long have you both been together?" She asks after giving us many stares.

"Ummm" I look at Peeta who has the same confused expression as I do. " About 4/5 months I guess" I finally say after thinking back to the begining of the year.
