*I've made an executive decision, Madge is alive and engaged to Gale not Johanna* *sorry but I like Madge and Gale together better* (Also I re-edited Awake My Soul (and all the others that involve Gale and Johanna) to accommodate this change but I may have missed one so if I did please tell me in the comments)
Katniss' POV
"Mom? Madge? Gale?" I stare at the three people at my front door. "Hey Catnip!" Gale says with a big grin on his face. I look between him and Madge and smirk. I haven't seen my mother in 5 years, I mean I've talked to her on the phone once or twice but never in person. She smiles. "Katniss" she says softly. My arms wrap around her in a tight hug without my permission. I may have missed her more than I ever thought I would but that doesn't mean I'll admit in public. At first she hesitant but hugs me just as tightly back. I pull away to invite them in. We all sit in the living room laughing, joking, and just forgetting the past for a moment to live in the present.
Peeta's POV
So this is family. I grasp Katniss' hand tightly. She looks over at me with an worried expression and squeezes my hand in reassurance. "Peeta?" she whispers. "You okay?" I give her a smile and move her do she's sitting on my lap. I wrap my arms around her waist so she's closer. "Everything is wonderful" I say placing a kiss behind her ear. "So when's the wedding?" Madge asks. I draw a question mark on Katniss' hand but what she replies will forever surprise me. 'Now?' she traces on my hand. "Um.. we could do the toasting now I guess?" I say moving my head so I could look at her. She looks at me and shrugs. "Well its about damn time" Johanna says. "Better late than never as I always say" Haymich says laughing. "I thought it was better out than in?" Katniss says. "Eh same thing" he replies and she rolls her eyes. "Well what are you two waiting for? Let's do this come on!" Gale says laughing and taking Madge's hand. Katniss starts to get off of me but I scoop her up in my arms and get up to go to the kitchen. I grab some bread that I made this morning then set her down by the fire place. By the time I've got the fire going, everyone is seated and are watching us. I look at Katniss, who is kneeling next to me. God she's so beautiful, how did I get so lucky? I'll never deserve her. I think to myself. I break the bread in half and kneel (to the best of my abilities) alongside her. I look at her again, she's smiling and there's a little blush creeping onto her cheeks, which makes me smile more. I've never seen her this happy and at peace. I take her free hand in mine and lace our fingers together. Then we both put our pieces of bread over the fire. Once they're toasted, we hold them up to each other and she takes bite from mine and I her's. There's no one else in this world, just me and her. "I love you" we say at the same time which causes her to laugh and me to blush. She leans in and kisses me and kiss her back. I'm barely aware of what's going on but i can hear Mrs. Everdeen and Madge shuffling people out the door and I'm guessing Katniss' house. We break away for air. "I love you so much" I say cupping her cheek.
Katniss' POV
The hunger inside me threatens to eat me alive but something holds it back. Love. I've never felt this strongly towards someone and it kinda scares me. I lean into his touch and smile up at him. Ten minutes ago I was Katniss Everdeen, now I'm Katniss Mellark. The more I think about it, the more i like it and can't help think this should've happened a lot sooner. But that's my fault. I kiss him again but more with more passion and hunger than before, and he returns it with just as much if not more. My arms go around his neck and get tangled in his hair. His hands trace every curve, but what surprises me is the sigh that escapes from me. Damn It. I feel him smirk against me. His hands slip underneath my shirt and I'm hit with the full significance of the moment. I break away for air. "Peeta.." I say putting our forheads together and catching my breath. "Katniss?" he says worriedly. "Its our wedding night. You know what happens after right..?" I say unsure. His hands stop what they were doing and his eyes widen. He looks at me. "It is isn't it... Do you want to.. you know...? I mean we can wait if you want. I don't want to do something you might regret" he says nervously. I feel the blush on my face become redder. "Peeta," i say looking him in the eye. "I would never regret doing that with you" I say and i really do mean it. His eyes are filled with hunger, passion, nerveouness, but most of all, love. There's so much love held there. I craddle his headin my hands and kiss him gently kiss him. His hands come up to meet mine and moves his head to kiss each of my palms. We stare at each other. I feel a small smile play on my lips. "I love you. I don't know why it took so long for me to realize it but I'm glad I did." I say with what feels like my heart pouring out. "I love you too. I'm glad I was picked for the Games, I'm glad I got hyjacked, because if i didn't then i wouldn't have you." I don't remeber leaning in, I don't remeber my hands getting tangled in his hair, I don't remeber him picking me up and never breaking the kiss, and I don't remember him carrying me up the stairs and into our room. He sets me down gently still not breaking the kiss. How we've not died of lack of oxygen I have no idea. He presses me against the door and I loose all my self control. I pull off his shirt and my hands roam his bare chest. He breaks the kiss and starts moving to my neck. He kisses my neck and my legs wrap around his waist in response. One hand supporting me and the other is under my shirt exploring. He kisses behind my ear which causes another sigh from me. I feel his abdomen clench when I do. I smirk. He pulls my shirt off. If that's all I have to do for him to loose his control then I'm using that more often, I think to myself. He kisses me again, if it's even possible, with more hunger. He carries me from the door to the bed then gently sets me down. I pull him down so he's sitting next to me. I take off his pants then his fake leg and kiss his stump after I do. I look at him. This is the farthest we've ever been. He leans down and kisses me gently. There's no hunger just love. I think this is the best one yet. I pull away and look at him. "Are you sure this is what you want?" he says nervously. I kiss him again. "Yes. Absolutely. I promise I'll tell you to stop if I need to" I say. The fire inside us that has been building up for the past 7 years consumes us. Bodies colliding, he holds my hand though everything. He's letting me know that no matter what he loves me. After it all, we collapse next to each other, staring into each other's eyes. Sleep is about to claim me when I hear him whisper "Always"
A/N
And that everyone is part 3. I bet you weren't expecting that were you?
So I have now joined the authors that have written Katniss and Peeta's first time. I have now crossed over to the dark side...
Anyway I just want to thank everyone that reads and especially the people who comment and vote. You guys are amazing
Sorry for the wait.. again... especially after that cliffhanger I hope this will make up for it
So we are now done with the 'marriage' thing.. I wonder what'll happen now? Will Peeta ask Katniss to have kids? What will she say? Does she still not want kids? Who knows! I'd say I do but I don't because I have no idea where this is going...
*Sneek Peek into the next chapter*-
"You're right it was more graphic than that, I was merely toning it down for Johanna"
