Katniss and Peeta's Life Continued

Chapter 6

I gasp in fear. I sprint towards the front door and struggle to open it. Once I finally get it open, I dash to Peeta's side. He is soaking. The tips of his hair are dripping and his face I wiped with terror. He is speechless as I grab Jenny from his arms.
"PEETA! I TOLD YOU TO WATCH HER!"
"I'm sorry Katniss! I turned around to bait my hook and when I turned back around she was gone!" Tears well-up in his eyes and tries to apologize for his irresponsibility. I carry her inside and I set her down on our island. This brings me back to helping Gale when he got flogged at the square. I start to shake as I begin to do CPR on my delicate baby girl. Three minutes go by....no heartbeat. I start to give up, but I won't. I listen to Peeta weeping on the couch probably trying to process everything that has happened. I give one more hard push on her fragile chest and a burst of warm breath comes shooting for her mouth. This moment also takes me back to when Peeta almost died in the arena after being electrocuted by the force field. I sigh of relief when I hear the raspy little breath. I sob of pure joy as I rest my head on Jenny's chest. Peeta rushes to my side and gives a light kiss on Jenny's forehead. at this point, I can't be mad at Peeta. I give him a giant bear hug and he gladly takes it. We are at loss of words as we find out our baby is going to be okay.
"Are you mad at me?" Peeta asks.
"I would be if she died," I say jokingly. He smiles and gives me another tight squeeze. He gently lifts Jenny up off the hard surface and sets her down on the couch. I grab a warm pink blanket and spread it across her teeny tiny body. I look at Peeta with a relieving smile and he gives me the same. We both are so happy that our baby girl is going to be alright.
