She Has My Heart Forever

Chapter 2 Bad News

Katniss POV

So...after an eventful shower with Peeta which than moved to the bed I decided to do some stuff around the house, cleaning, laundry, stuff like that. Peeta does almost everything and I feel kinda bad that he does. Even though he wants to. I head downstairs to the kitchen, grabbing the duster and walking to the living room to see Peeta.

"Hey angel. What you doing?" he asks.

"Well I was gonna do abit of house work." I say.

"Umm...why don't I do that?" he asks.

"No, you do everything around here. I wanna do something too." I say. He smiles and nods.

"Alright, just no cooking." he says.

"Haha...I wouldn't poison you. Much." I say making him frown.

"Oh...wow thanks." he says sitting down on the couch. I walk upstairs and start with our room, dusting off pictures, shelf's, dressers, and washing the windows. After I'm finished I move to Rye's room, cleaning up his toys and dusting through there too. That the bathroom, living room and kitchen before collecting all laundry in the house and starting the washing machine. I walk back to the living room and sit down next to a relaxed Peeta. "Have fun?"

"Oh yeah..sure." I say. He chuckles and kisses my cheek.

"Well...your my wife and this is your house. Add those too together." he says.

"You ass. I'm not your housewife." I say punching his shoulder.

"Help me....my wife beats me!" he says throwing his hands in the air.

"Sure cupcake." I say as the phone rings. I pick up. "Katniss Mellark."

"Hey Katniss. Its Amy." Peeta's mother. (I don't know if I came up with a name for her yet but here it is)

"Hi Amy. How you doing?" I ask.

"Oh...not so good." she says.

"What? Why?" I ask.

"Richard...is really sick." she says. Peeta's father.(Same with him)

"Oh...whats wrong with him?" I ask.

"Something with his heart." she says. "I can't come today."

"Thats fine. Stay with him, we'll be okay." I say.

"Alright, I'll call you if something changes." she says before hanging up.

"When will she be here?" Peeta asks.

"She can't come." I say putting the phone up.

"Why?" he asks.

"Your father got sick." I say. His face goes to complete fear.

"What?! Is he okay?!" he asks standing up.

"Peeta..its okay calm down. He's gonna be fine." I say pulling him back down. 

"Are you sure?" he asks.

"Yes, its gonna be fine." I say. He nods and takes a deep breath.

"Your right...sorry." he says. 

"Its okay and I'm sure he'll be alright." I say. He nods and the rest of the day is just us being lazy.

~8pm That Night~

I took Rye to bed and decided to have a TV night with Peeta. I walk down the stairs and crawl up next to him.

"Nice to have a night for us huh?" he asks.

"Yes, I love this." I say pulling him down for a kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too Kitty." he says running his hand through my hair. 

"I'm glad...Gale shot you that day." I say playing with scared ear.

"What? Why?" he asks.

"Because without that I never would've realized how much I love and need you." I say making him smile. "And we wouldn't have Rye."

"I was never really mad at you Kitty. I wanted you happy...and I thought Gale made you that." he says.

"I'm happy with you Peeta...and I'm never leaving." I say just as the phone rings.

"I'll get it." he says standing up and walking to the kitchen phone. "Hello? Mom! Yeah I wa....what? No...no..okay..alright..we'll come." he walks back with red eyes.

"What is it?" I ask standing up.

"My dad died." he says before letting the tears break out.
