(Peeta)

Katniss and I arrive at the meadow, her hand in my right one, a picnic basket in my other. I lead her near the water where we will eat under the tree that's beside it. I get out a thin red blanket and set it out on the floor for us to sit on. Katniss set up the plates and drinks while I make our sandwiches. I put a side of potato chips for her and I put myself some barbeque chips. We both sat there, talking about ridiculous things, just making each other laugh, and enjoying each other's company while eating. After one of my amazing jokes, Katniss begins to speak after pulling herself together.

"Okay, time to get serious." She says with a little giggle in it.

"Ughh!" I say playfully

"Baby names. I wanna start planning now that we have time."

"Okay, let's get thinking." Katniss usually likes to wait till we find out the gender, or with Peete we waited till he was born to see what name fits him best. Katniss has made it clear that she doesn't want them named after anyone of the past. Although Levinia is the name of the avox, except for the one letter difference, which pulls her to believe its not the same. Anyways, I start by thinking of boy names. Katniss loved to pick girl names, and I think she's done a good job, even before we knew Peete was a boy, she chose a beautiful name, now only if I could remember it.... Then, it comes to me. The name I want for a baby boy. It seems too quick so I say the name over and over in my head before blurting out.

"I got it !!" Katniss looks at me impatiently wanting to know right away, but I'm not sure how she'll like it. So I say it slowly.

"Bryant..Devlin...Mellark." I see her thinking. I can tell she's saying it over and over in her head. Within seconds she grins big.

"I love it !" She says excitedly.

"And you know Bryant, means strong and honorable. Devlin, means brave and fierce. It reminds me of you, and the traits you've passed down to our kids that are here now." This makes her blush and she notices because she changes the subject.

"Soo, uuh, girl names !"

"You got this, Katniss !" I say playfully as if coaching a boxing tournament. I rub my hands together and make my voice speak in a hushed shouting voice. "It's all you!!" She laughs and begins to think with that giggly grin. She thinks for a while as I finish up my chips. After a minute she's still thinking.

"Don't think too hard."

"No, I got it, just unsure if you'll like it...." She says doubtfully still staring off.

"Just say it. Come on you pick beautiful names that are unlike any other." She takes a deep sigh and says it.

"Ariana Lynn Mellark ?" Right away I love it. How does she come up with these names ?! They're always beautiful and they stand out.

"Perfect. That's....perfect. I love it." I leaned forward and gave her a light small kiss on her lips. That didn't seem like enough for her cause she pulled me closer by the back of my neck, and honestly, it wasnt enough for me either. After a few seconds I give her lip a little love bite. She opens her mouth which gives me access for my tongue. A small moan escapes my mouth. I begin to lead her backwards so she's laying down on her back and I'm on top. Her hands are in my hair when I brake us apart and kiss all down her neck. She's letting out small moans while my hands explore up her legs and under her dress. But I pull apart to ask one question.

"Are you sure?"

"Peeta, this isn't our first time." She says with a little laugh to it.

"No, I mean here, in the meadow...."
