Baby Steps {COMPLETED}

Chapter 2

6 Weeks

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" I ask as our doctor approaches with two needles

"It'll be quick for her. I promise" he tells us

"Peeta. Could you lay her down?" Dr Aurelius asks, Peeta looks at me with a helpless look, knowing that we have to do this to keep her healthy, so he reluctantly lays her down. The cry is heartbreaking and I can't watch when he does the second one. I pick her up once it's done, soothing her. She calms down and Dr A lets me hold her as he does the liquid immunisation which made her squeak in protest but she swallows the whole thing.

"Poor baby" Peeta whispers as she sleeps on his chest, I called the doctor when her temperature was high. He told me it was a side affect, I thanked him but he better hope this is a side affect.

"She loves cuddling with her Daddy" I smile

"Her Daddy loves cuddling with her" he replies. The past six weeks with a newborn has been tough, Peeta and I are still trying to understand what her cries mean or what she wants. She has her days where she'll sleep good hours and days when she won't. To say that we're sleep deprived is an understatement which has made Peeta and I irritable at times, we argue a few times, thanks to the sleepless nights and his long days at work.

That's just one problem. Nothing will ever make me regret having Clementine. She is our everything and always seems to make us forget about our lack of sleep. One thing for sure is that she has Peeta already wrapped around that tiny finger of hers. Every time they're cuddling and he puts her down she just cries until he picks her up again, I'm the same but slightly more tougher. Clementine is the light of our lives and neither of us want to think of a life without her.

"Thank you for coming you guys. This means a lot to Olivia" Gale says as we walk into Olivia's schools auditorium

"I wouldn't miss this play" I reply putting the brakes on Clem's stroller where she sleeps soundly

"It's nice to get out of the house" Peeta whispers while kissing my cheek, I smile and cuddle his arm. Seeing Olivia in the play, I get the reason why she was casted as lead role. At nine she is doing amazing, extremely well for a girl her age. The play only had a boy kissing her hand which made Gale whisper something to Peeta who snickered, I eye the both of them suspiciously but they both just grin in amusement.

"What were you two snickering about?" I ask as we walk out to the gymnasium where we wait, Peeta looks at me with an amused grin

"Gale just told me that the boy was a dead man. He told me to help seeing as he'd help me with Clem" I look to my brother with a disapproving look

"Gale!" Madge frowns

"Hey! Don't all gang up on me. Peeta said that he'll do the same if it happens to Clementine"

"Oh. He's going to pay for that later" I scowl at my husband who scowls at Gale

"If I'm going down then I'm taking you with me, Dude" Gale slaps Peeta on the back

"That isn't cool" Peeta grumbles. Olivia comes out and we all tell her how amazing she was, Gale even gave her a huge bouquet of flowers and chocolates. It made me smile at their interaction, my brother may be a dick sometimes and digs himself holes but he loves his family with his entire heart.

"Katniss Everdeen!" I freeze when I hear her voice I turn to see Glimmer... holy shit. I haven't seen this bitch since high school... I look at the girl by her side who doesn't look much older than Olivia. So, sleeping around in high school really bit her back.
