Chapter Thirty Six

It's been a few weeks sense Willow has been born and we have finally settled back down in District Twelve. Katniss is on strict bed rest because of the stressful labor and her healing tare.

I had to take care of a oven at the bakery and I open the door slowly to not make a sound. I peek through the crack and see Katniss standing up with Willow in her arms grinning and quietly talking to our daughter.

"Mommy's going to sit down now, because daddy's going to be angry mommy got up but I just had to see you." She holds Willow in one arm and tries to steady herself into the plush chair with a little grimace on her face.

I rush into the living room and sit her down carefully. "Jesus Katniss I'm going to have to put a bell on you so I know where you go!" Katniss smirks. "I guess you will." She looks back down at our daughter and smiles.

"We did good didn't we Mr. Mellark?" She asks and I lift her chin up and kiss her soft lips. "Looks like we did." She giggles and looks up at the window that isn't covered by the curtains. "Put the curtains over, you never know if the Capitol is getting photos."

I do and she still looks at Willow but has a frown on her face. "Sometimes I wish that they would get out of our hair... I mean, it's our privacy that they are taking away from us." I nod slowly with a small smile. "I know Katniss, don't worry." She smiles a little.

"I won't." Then the door bursts open to Haymitch and he grins. "Well hey there Junior!" He says laughing and Katniss rolls her eyes. Haymitch has been here almost all the time after Willow has been born because I think he just can't get over the fact that, one Katniss had a child, or two she had a child with me.

He plops down on the couch that is by Katniss and grins. "So can I hold her or are you holding her hostage?" He says and Katniss huffs. "Haymitch Abanarthy it feels like you are holding Willow than I am." He shrugs. "Shut up Katniss I'm enjoying myself." "Make your own baby with Emily Haymitch! Jesus!" Haymitch turns pale and I laugh at Katniss's comment.

"Yeah Haymitch! It's pretty fun to be honest." I lean in and kiss Katniss's lips gently and she giggles. He scoffs. "I'm so old now you two I probably couldn't get her pregnant so you know what? I'll just use Willow here as my rent-a kid!" I finally do notice Haymitch's greying hair, the bags under his eyes, and the lines on his worn face.

I pat Haymitch's back. "Knock yourself out with her I'm going to get Katniss back upstairs before she tries walking over to the Hob." "Oh that actually sounds like fun, let's go and-" "Come on Katniss, you're grounded to our bedroom." I help her up and she groans in frustration as my arm wraps around her waist.

"You suck the fun out of life bread boy." I kiss her temple and then her jaw. "If you stop whining I'll make you some cheesy buns." She goes dead silent after that and I laugh. "That's what I thought." After I get Katniss settled I walk back downstairs and see Haymitch holding a sleeping Willow with a cheesy smile still cracked on his face.

I sit next to him on the couch and sigh, brushing some of her dark curls. "Do you think I'll be a good dad Haymitch? I don't even know what I'm doing." He laughs. "That's why there's this thing called learning. Peeta you won't be perfect and hell, I wouldn't be either but as long as you know at the end of the day you did your best than know you did your best for yourself not for anyone else's standards."

Willow opens her eyes that are lazy and she gives us a smile. "And if she ends up okay, then you're doing it right." I laugh a little and he pats my back. "And you'll have me right across the street everyday to help you too." "Thanks Haymitch, it means a lot to me." He nods. "You're welcome." I clear my throat before tears can spill from my eyes and smile.

"I gotta go check on Katniss." He nods and I quickly walk upstairs. When I open the door I see Katniss hanging up the phone and he brushes her tears away that steam down her face. "Everything okay?" She nods. "It was Gale, he's having a hard time about life and he just needed to talk." "What's going on with him honey?" "He's drinking, not caring about his job, he needs help." I nod. "So I invited him here until he gets back on his feet." My mouth drops.

"Katniss, don't you think that might not be the best idea?" She shrugs. "I dunno, but he's my friend and I want him in a good place Peeta... Wouldn't you do the same for Delly?" I shake my head. "Because you would get jealous." She scoffs. "I wouldn't get jealous." I laugh. "That's the biggest load of crap that has come out of your mouth in forever." She puts her hand on her chest.

"Are you saying you're jealous Peeta?" I shake my head, getting angry and embarrassed. "Of course not!" She giggles and kisses my cheek. "Don't be jealous the only person that can get into my pants is obviously you, even if Finnick was alive he couldn't charm the pants off of me either."

I smile a little, rubbing her knee. I clear my throat. "What did he think about the baby? Because I know it's been all over the news." Katniss blankly looks out into space. "I don't really know, I couldn't tell." I smirk, I hope he was just pissed off of the thought of me getting her pregnant. I sigh.

"You should get some rest, you must be sore." She nods and lays back. I kiss her lips and smile. "Alright get some sleep." The next day as I watch Gale weakly walk into the door and wraps his strong arms around Katniss, kissing her cheek and promising her that he'll stop drinking makes me smirk because I know what he's trying to do. "Bring it Hawthorne, let the games begin."
