If yall don't mind I'm gonna skip to Thursday after school. -Torii
(Peeta)
It's Thursday so of course I stayed home like every other week. Katniss and I are sitting on the couch together. She's cuddled up next to me with my arm wrapped around her, and her head on my shoulder. We're watching a documentary on life before Panem. It was a place called North America. Everything seemed luxurious. I wish we lived in something like that when I was younger. But in a way I'm glad these games existed, it brought Katniss and I together, and we wouldn't be where we are right now if it weren't for that horrible experience. I hear the front door open and see Levinia and Peete walk through. Peete of course comes running to greet us and Levinia goes straight up stairs with a quick shout of "Hey!".
"Hey, big boy! What'd you do today at school?" I ask as Katniss picks him up and sits him on her lap with his legs stretched out on my lap.
"We learned about shapes, colors, and I finally learned to count to 100 watch!! 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11....." His list continues on and we all cheer when he's done and congratulate him. He climbs down and runs upstairs to his room. Katniss watches him with a grin as he runs then turns back to me when he's out of sight.
"Why do they have to grow up?" She says in a gentle voice. "Why couldn't he have stayed a little baby?" I put my arm around her and we sit in the position we were in before the kids got home.
"We should enjoy him now that he's still young, and he's not near his teen years where he'll hide out in his room like Levinia over there."
"Yeah, and when he is we'll have these little guys to keep us busy." She says with a voice you would talk to a baby with, and rubs her growing abdomen. I place my hand over hers making hers stop under mine. God, I love this woman, and I can't believe she's carrying my third and fourth children. There's no real way to thank her in anyway. My mind goes back to before any of our kids. I remember her screaming at me. The rejection hurt. I was begging for children, but at the same time I didn't want to force her into it. The way her emotions would change just at me hinting in children. I remember her once yelling at me "If you want a baby that badly, then go find someone else that will give you a baby !!!" She ran off to our room and was just sobbing into the pillow. It broke my heart to see her cry, and it broke my heart that she would say something like that. I climbed into bed with her and wrapped my arms around her, trying to stay strong. She buried her face in my chest leaving tear stains on it, but I didn't care. When she was calmed down I lifted her head by her chin and looked her straight into her teary eyes, which made a tear fall down from mine. "I don't want a baby, I want YOUR baby." At that she broke down. I'm brought back to reality when I feel her head lift off my shoulder. Our hands are still on her stomach. She's looking at me with a gorgeous smile that makes my heart pump fast.
"I love you so much, Peeta Mellark." She leans in and gives me a long and loving kiss with so much passion. I can't help but return it.
"I love you way more Katniss Mellark." I say with our lips less than a centimeter away from each other. We move in and give a hard kiss to each other. I let my tongue move over to her lips. She opens up immediately and does the same with hers. She sucks on my bottom lip which feels amazing. Normally I'm the one sucking her bottom lip, but this little action gives me an overwhelming feeling. Maybe I should do this more often to her? I hear footsteps coming from upstairs so I tone it down to the "makeout" minus the tongue which I can tell upsets Katniss but she goes along when she begins to hear the footsteps. I hear humming along with the footsteps. No doubt its Levinia and she'll ignore it. She's probably coming down to do homework. She always does it at the island we have in the middle of our kitchen and dining room area. She likes to do her homework downstairs where there's nothing to distract her like in her room. After those footsteps are over I continue over from earlier with my tongue. Then I hear smaller and quicker footsteps and I know its the only other That's when I know were done. I pull away from Katniss and she looks breathless, as am I. She blushes and I rub my thumb over her cheek. "Beautiful". I give her one last kiss before wrapping her up in my arms once again.
(Levinia)
I got my homework and pencil in one hand, and my headphones plugged into my phone with the other hand. My parents are on the couch swallowing each other. I ignore it usually. One, why would I watch?! And two, its not my business, plus its kinda gross. I sit down at the island and put my headphones in, cause i concentrate better with music. It blocks everything out and I can stay focused. It's simple English homework. Our prompt is to write about our siblings. Should I include a hint of my twin siblings? My parents haven't made it known to anyone yet that she's pregnant. But she can't hold it in forever. She's showing already, and she's in the house a lot. They need to do it soon. Peete catches my eye when he walks by to open the fridge. My dad comes right behind him and messes up Peete's hair which makes him smile. My dad looks over to me and starts talking. I can't hear anything over my music so I just see his lips moving. I take my headphones out to hear him.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you."
"I asked what's your homework for today?"
"Oh, we have to write about our siblings." We both look over to where Peete is looking cross eyed at his lollipop.
"Should be interesting." My dad says playfully. Right then my mom walks in. She walks past my dad and when she does my dad checks her out and from behind and rubs her waist. She blushes when she looks at him but keeps walking to the chocolate cake my dad and Peete made yesterday. My dad looks back at me still obviously thinking about my mom. I give him a look of, "Really?". He shrugs his shoulders and leans over the island counter top with his arms crossed.
"So, what time is this..uumm...date at?"
"It's not a date, and in an hour and a half."
"Do you need a ride?" I know he just wants to see who Asher is and unfortunately he would, because Asher is picking me up with his older brother.
"No, I'm getting picked up." I say picking up my pencil and beginning my story.
"Okay, one thing." I look up to meet his eyes. "No kissing!" I grunt of annoyance and continue introducing Peete for my assignment. "I'm serious! I don't even want you two shaking hands, Levinia. And another thing-" god bless my mother for cutting him off.
"Peeta!!"she says loudly while stabbing her cake.
"I was just-" my dad says innocently.
"I know, I know." My mom replies quietly. I look over at her and she smiles and shakes her head telling me to ignore my father. I find it funny when his father instincts kick in.
"Mom.....when are you guys planning on letting people know about your pregnancy?"
"We have told people." She's says defensively
"Other than Haymitch and Peete." She looks at my dad looking for an answer and he gives her one.
"You gotta tell people sometime. You're growing and words gonna get out eventually." He replies while picking red grapes from the fruit bowl.
"Okay, then I'll just leave the house more often and wait for the late night news at 10." My mom says like she doesn't care. I know she doesn't like her business out there's all the time. But a pregnancy isn't easy to hide. Especially if she's pregnant with twins, she'll grow twice as big.
"Okay, do it your way." He kisses my mom on her cheek and sits next to her at the table with a handful of grapes. Before I know it I have 30 minutes left to get dressed. I pack up my homework for tomorrow and get dressed. I put on my dark denim shorts, some white thin sandals with a white flower in the middle, and a white shirt that goes up to my elbows that has a big grey heart in the middle. I leave my curls down since they look just as they did before I left for school. Right when I shut my stereo off I hear the door bell ring. I rush downstairs before anyone else can answer. I see my dad walking from the kitchen and dining area so I rush down quicker and I beat him to the door. He just sits there behind me on the couch. I can feel him watching when I open the door. And there he is.
