Chapter 18

-Katniss's POV-

|Dream|

"Dandelion!" I call. "Coming mommy!" My little 5 year old runs inside. She runs into my arms. "Woah! Watch what you are doing." I laugh. Dandelion rubs on my 8 month baby bump. "One more month!" She chants.

"C'mon Ashton come out!" She whines. "How are you?" I ask, setting her on the counter. "Fine and Dandy!" She giggles. I smile, "What a pun."

"How was your play date with Finn?" I question. "Fun." She answers. Peeta comes in, "Well, well, well! I got my two princesses here with my little guy in here." He grins, patting my baby bump.

"I gotta change I'll be right back." He smiles and runs upstairs.

"Mommy?" Dandelion asks. "Yes sweetie?" I reply. "You really love daddy do you?" She  says and I nod. "Yes very much and I love you look exactly like him."

"Do you think Ash will look like you?" She says with curiosity. "Maybe." I shrug.

"I hope so." She whispers. "Why?" I smile. "Because you are the most gorgeous mommy ever and he will be the most handsome boy ever if he looks like you." She sweetly says.

I smile and hug her. "Thank you Dandy."

"I love you Mommy." She giggles.

"I love —"

I shoot up like a bullet. "I love you too baby girl." I mumble, sweating and crying. "Ashton?" I question myself in a hushed tone and clutch my flat stomach. Please don't be...

My eyes widen and I run into the bathroom, grabbing a pregnancy test.

I test myself and sigh in relief. Negative. I throw it away and sit on my bed. That scared the day lights out of me. Last time I dreamed about a baby girl I was pregnant and I'm not ready for another child.

I run downstairs and see Peeta on the balcony. I go outside and watch him look out at the ocean. I sigh then go over to him and sit. "What are you doing up?" I ask him. "I could the same thing about you." He replies. "Bad dream." I whisper.

He turns to me immediately. "You want to talk about it?" He asks kindly and I nod.

"Dandelion, she was alive and around 4 or 5 years old. I call her inside and she runs into my arms. I'm 8 months pregnant with a boy who I guess was named Ashton. Dandy called him Ash." I stop and suck in the tears. "You came in and said you had to change. Dandelion asked if I really loved you and I said yes, very very much." I finish while quickly wiping a tear away.

I just want him back and not Nick. Peeta gently puts my chin up and kisses me gently. It stays that way for around a minute and he then breaks it. His eyes meet mine then he whispers, "Goodnight." Before going up stairs to bed. I touch my lips that leave a tingly sensation.

I haven't had this feeling in a year. A whole year,

And I miss it.
