Katniss and Peeta's Life Continued

Chapter 5

Chapter 5
I wake up around 6:13 A.M. to find myself sweating and shirtless. I look over at Peeta and he is sleeping like a baby. He is also shirtless. He usually sleeps with a shirt on. I start to panic and I wake up Peeta. I shake his shoulder and he flutters his long eyelashes.
"Good morning," I whisper.
"Good morning beautiful," he says with a scratchy voice.
"What happened last night?" I ask him.
"Ummm, nothing. Why?" He starts to panic.
"Well you're shirtless. And I'm shirtless. Did we umm.....?" I hesitate.
"What? No. You think we....no. It was like a million degrees in here last night and we were boiling so we decided to sleep with our shirts off last night." Peeta explains.
"Well...we did talk about having another baby so I connected the dots," I declare. Peeta starts cracking up after I say that. He rolls over and gives me a hard kiss on the lips while still laughing. He starts to pull away, but I don't let him. I stay connected to him like a magnet. He moves down from my lips to my neck and from my neck to my shoulder. I happily let him as he moves back up to my lips. All I remember after that, was that we did not leave our room for a long time.

I wake up again at around 8:15 A.M. this time though I know exactly what happened. I am not as panicked and I am actually happy. A little knock comes from outside.
"Mommy....Daddy are you awake?" Jenny asks. I jump out of bed putting on my light pink robe. I open the door and find Jenny in her silk baby blue nightgown sucking on her right thumb.
"I'm hungry," says Jenny.
"Alright I'll go make you some breakfast." Jenny follows me to the kitchen and sits down at the island.
I turn towards the stove and crack an egg on the side of the pan. I hear the door to our room open and I see Peeta in plaid pajama bottoms and a stained white t-shirt. His blond hair is disheveled and his eyes are droopy.
"Hi daddy!" Jenny squeals. She hops out of the high chair and skips over to Peeta. He reaches out his arms and swings her around. He carefully sets her back down and walks over to me and gives me a peck on the cheek.
"Good morning Jenny!" He finally responds back.
"Can we go fishing today daddy?" Jenny suggests.
"I don't see why not."
"Yay!" Jenny shrieks.
"Jenny your breakfast is ready," I call her over. she scurries over to her bar stool and struggles to climb to the top. While she is nibbling on her fried egg I casually walk over to Peeta and give him a hard look. He already knows what I'm going to lecture him about.
"I will watch over her at the pond today, I promise," Peeta says putting the words in my mouth.
"Peeta, she doesn't know how to swim yet so make sure she doesn't fall in," I lecture.
"Katniss....don't worry about a thing."
"I'm trusting you." I give him a sarcastic smile and return to washing off the dishes.
"I'm done!" Jenny replies. She bounces off the chair like a basketball and races toward her room. Five minutes later, she struts out of her room like a model and shows off her fishing outfit. A army green slicker jacket with gold buttons, little tight black skinny jeans, and a bright yellow fishermen's hat. She jumps on Peeta's lap.
"Come on daddy let's go!" Jenny squeaks. Peeta scans his body up and down. He makes a tiny snicker and looks at Jenny.
"Well....I need to get dressed up too. Wait for me while I get ready."
"Ok," Jenny peeps. Peeta hoists her off his lap and shuffles off to our bedroom.
Ten minutes pass when Peeta finally opens the door.
"I'm ready Jenny," he says.
"Yay!" Jenny shouts.
"Do you wanna come Katniss?" Peeta offers.
"No....I'll stay here and relax," I answer.
"Ok....see you in a little while," Peeta says.
"Bye mommy." I give Jenny a slight wave as Peeta gingerly shuts the door. I sigh, but not of relief just of exhaustion. I saunter over to the couch and plop myself down. I take on more deep breath and close my eyes.
I wake up abruptly to hear shouting outside the cabin. I shoot up off the couch because I feel like my name in being called. I jog over to the tiny window and peer out to find Peeta and my daughter unconscious and wet in his strong arms.
