She Has My Heart Forever

Chapter 22 I'm Loving It

Katniss POV

7 Years Later

"Mom! Jasbay's sick again!" Rye calls from downstairs. I groan and sit up, rubbing my eyes and getting out of bed. The past 7 years have been fun..but hard. I leave my room and walk downstairs to see Jasbay laying on the couch with Rye sitting on the chair playing with his phone.

"Pick your damn phone down and go get your father." I say. He rolls his eyes and stands up, heading up the stairs. Ever since he's turned 13 he's been a handful and really ignoring his siblings who all love him and look up to him so much. "Whats up little girl?" I ask kneeling down next to her.

"I feel really hot." she says. I feel her head but she's fine.

"Your don't have a fever." I say. "Whats really wrong?"

"I'm sick mom." she says. I sigh and sit down.

"Jas, Rye did the same things when he was your age." I say. "School will be fine." she sighs and sits up just as Peeta comes walking down with Rye.

"I'll get dressed." she says standing up and running up the stairs.

"No running Jas." I says sitting down. Peeta walks over to me, giving me a long kiss before sitting down.

"Rye get ready for school." he says. Again, Rye rolls his eyes and turns. "Don't roll your eyes at me!"

"I didn't do anything!" he says.

"Just go get ready." I say. He groans and stomps up the stairs. "I swear to god..."

"I know..he's bad." he says. "I bet we were too."

"Still..he's annoying." I say making him laugh.

"I know Kitty." He says. "But I bet our parents thought the same about us when we were younger."

"Yes..I know..but I kinda miss our little boy." I say snuggling closer to him.

"I know but its just a few years, okay? It could be worse." he says running his hand though my hair.

"Oh god..don't say that. It will get worse." I say making him laugh lightly.

"Well..we're alone to day so maybe we could have some..fun." he says. I smile and nod as all walk down the stairs. 

"We're ready to go mom!" Jace says making me smile. We stand up and walk over to them.

"Daddy made you all lunch and put it in your bags, you all have fun at school." I say give first Jace a kiss, than Jasbay, Bryant and as I want to kiss Rye's cheek he pulls away and heads for the door. I sigh and give the rest hugs before them head out the door.

"Peeta.." I say as he wraps his arms tightly around me. "It hurts."

"I know." he says. "I'll take to him, I promise." I nod and we pull apart. "Lets just have a nice day."

"Like? Maybe we could go out somewhere." I say.

"I was thinking to the tree house." he says.

"We haven't been there for years." I say. "I bet its destroyed."

"I would always bet on things Kitty. Lets just go." he says. I nod and we head upstairs.

"I'm gonna take a shower first." I say walking for the bathroom. He nods as I walk in and turn the water on hot before pulling my clothes off and stepping in. I wash up before getting back out to see Peeta. "Really?"

"What? I can see my amazingly sexy wife's body?" he asks making me smile abit.

"I'm not sexy Peeta." I say looking down. He walks up to me and rests his hands on my shoulders.

"Yes you are! Look at you, you've given birth to 4 kids and your still hot as hell." he says making me laugh.

"Thank you cupcake." I say giving him a kiss. I get some fresh clothes before walking downstairs with him. We get ready and head out the door. 

"Sooo...what you got in mind for us to do today?" he asks.

"Just wanna hang out, like we always did." I say. He nods as we walk down the street, getting closer to the woods. 

"I'm excited." he says making me smile.

"Why's that?" I ask. 

"Oh..just because." he says. I shrug and we make it to the woods, walking down the small, almost unused trails to the cliff with the tree. As we get closer I see the house, in perfect condition and painted. I smile and walk over to it.

"Peeta...did you do this?" I ask.

"Yeah..it was in pretty bad shape when Finnick and I came out here but now..I fixed it up for you." he says. A small tear escapes my eye as we walk over to it and up the ladder inside. To see a bed, small couch, chair, real windows, everything. 

"I love it so much Peeta." I say turning around and giving him a kiss. His arms wrap tightly around my waist as we stumble back and onto the bed. This is my life now..and I'm loving it.
