Chapter Thirty Two

Peeta's POV Three Months Later

The Capitol Rebels were killed in the aftermath of Katniss's actions and everything is back to normal. A statue was put up of her in Snows place and it makes me smile. Katniss is now heavily pregnant and her stomach is finally growing.

She walks down the stairs with her belly distended with pregnancy. She finally fits in the maternity shirt that Effie and I got her and the bruises are finally faded from her stomach from the brutal beating. She grins when she sees me and I smile. "You look beautiful." I say and she scoffs. "More like a beached whale that is." I laugh and wrap my arms around her, kissing her lips gently with a smile. "Do you want to help me paint the babies room?" She grins.

"Yes! Are you serious you're finally letting me do something?" I laugh loudly and kiss her again. "Of course my beautiful wife." I wrap my arm around her waist and help her walk back upstairs, leaving soft and gentle kisses on her cheek. When we get into the barren room that was her sisters Prim. She clenches her jaw to try to stop the tears and I take her hand. "Come on sweetheart let's start painting and have some fun." I grab the color paint I got and she looks at it. A light purple and I smirk. "Let's get painting." As we paint we chat and share a few giggles.

Then Katniss stops painting and dips her hands in her bucket of purple paint. "You know what I've noticed about you Mr. Mellark?" She asks, walking towards me, her belly pressing up against mine. Then before I can process what she is doing she runs her paint covered hands through my hair and grins. "I think you should dye your hair purple, it suites you."

She has the biggest grin on her face as she laughs and I stick my hands into the grey paint I have for stripes later. I run my hands through her dark and glossy curls and she glares. "Jesus Katniss you already have grey hair and we haven't even had a kid yet." She laughs and smashes her hands on my cheeks, leaving purple handprints on my cheeks. "Tattoos on the cheeks would be nice too." I put my hands on her ass as she wears a pair I slacks and I smirk.

"I could say the same." This continues on until we are almost completely covered in paint. I press my paint cover hands on her distended belly and kiss her lips giggling. "You're an ass." Katniss says with a laugh and I giggle. Then the door opens and we see Haymitch with more paint and he raises his eyebrows. He sets them down and puts his hands in the air, walking out. "I'm out." He says and Emily peeks her head in and giggle. She yells down the hall.

"Haymitch why don't we do things like that!?!?" "Because we aren't idiots or young." Katniss nestles her face into my shoulder, embarrassed. Emily picks up the bucket of hot pink paint that they offered and walks down the hall. "Oh Haymitch darling." "Yes?" Then we hear a loud splash and a string of curses and a squeal from Emily. I hear the front door open and I watch as she runs across the lawn cackling as a hot pink Haymitch runs after her. We both laugh and I look down at Katniss and smile.

"Boy you picked the right one for him." She rests her head on my chest and scoffs. "Of course I did, because I'm a genius." After a few more hours of painting the room is finally finished. It's the light purple I picked with one grey stripe going around the perimeter and I painted a teddy bear and and a kitten on a wall and wrote under it little angel. Katniss wrote the lyrics from the valley song on the wall by the crib and we sigh. We're covered in paint, tired, and hungry.

The doorbell rings and I run down the stairs and open the door to see Rye. "Hey what's going on?" He asks and peers over my shoulder and see Katniss's back to him as she looks in the pantry for food and he sees my grey handprints on her backside. He chuckles. "I see that you two have been busy painting." Katniss looks over and blushes with embarrassment.

"Yeah we have." I say grinning, trying to get her handprints off my cheeks. He hands me three loaves of bread. "For dinner for you two." I laugh. "Thanks Rye." "No problem." He says and before he walks away he peeks his head in. "By the way Katniss, those handprints on your ass makes it look ten times better!" She laughs and I glare. He walks away with a smirk and shut the door.

Katniss is playing with her braid as ButterCup leans against her leg. "Rye is quite the flirt." She says giggling and I huff. "Yes I know." I say, crossing my arms over my chest. Katniss laughs. "Don't tell me you're jealous." I shrug and she kisses my lips slowly. "Hey, at least you are the only one allowed to touch my butt." I smack it and she jumps and I laugh, kissing her lips again.

"That is absolutely true." That night as I sleep with her in my arms after we got out of our hot steamy shower, I wonder how I finally caught this beautiful MockingJay.
