Finding the Missing Piece: Book 2

Chatper Eighty-Seven

Katniss POV-

Peeta went to go get fitted for his wedding tuxedo about an hour ago.

It makes me so happy that we are finally in the final stages of our wedding preparation.

I can't wait.

Peeta seemed super excited to be going too, so that's a plus.

In just two months, I'll be Katniss Mellark.

It makes me so happy too.

I have been checking on Bristol frequently, especially since Brandon went back about a week after we left.

The baby has made a full recovery and is back on track.

Bristol got out of the hospital a few days after we left and everything seems to be going smooth for them both.

I am so excited for Bristol and to be having a little friend soon.

I love babies, though, I am not sure how I will take it when I have my own one day.

I'm not sure how I feel about actually being a mom one day, since everything that happened with Bristol and all. I mean, that was scary and I don't have the best of luck.

Something like that could easily happen to Peeta and I and it wouldn't surprise me a bit.

I remember imagining us in a similar situation and dreaming it up too.

It was terrible.

Waking every night for over a month because of nightmares about something that hasn't even happened yet. About your future children dying or your future husband too.

It's just an awful feeling to even think about those situations.

Dreaming about your best friend's death or her unborn baby's death.

It's sick.

But it happened.

Not even Peeta was able to stop it for a period of time.

Eventually, he did but it took a lot.

I decide to call Bristol this morning to see how she is feeling.

(On the phone with Bristol)

"Hey, Kat!" Bristol says in her usual, bubbly voice and accent.

I smile to myself, "Hey, how are you feeling?" I say, meaning both her and the baby.

"Were doing okay. Just tired." Bristol says.

"Well, that's not too bad, I guess." I say, not really knowing what to say to a seven month pregnant woman.

"How is engaged life?" Bristol teases me.

I chuckle, "Good." I say simply, though it's better than good.

"That is great, Kat." She says and I can hear the smile in her voice.

"How's college life?" I decided to tease.

"Really good. I still miss you though."

"Aw, I miss you too. That was the hardest thing, having to leave you and then you told me you're pregnant. I feel like I'm missing so much." I say.

"Well, as much as I wish you were here, I know you're happier there. That's your home and you and Peeta needed to be together." Bristol says.

It is true.

I am a lot happier here at home with Peeta than when I was at the campus.

I just wish Bristol was closer.
