Chapter Sixty Four

KATNISS'S POV

I look down at my boots as I sit on the couch next to Gale, waiting for Cressida to get Pollux suited up in his camera equipment where they will film Willow and I in the meadow. I hope this works, I hope that somehow this will get the the Peeta that is stuck in his nightmares and finally see the light at the end of this endless tunnel he is in.

Then something pulls me out of my thoughts, Gale's hand on my knee. "Catnip?" "What?" I ask. I glare at his hand and he moves it away. "I'm sorry for what I did the night and morning before... I should've never kissed you or taken advantage of you when you had a nightmare." I chuckle sadly.

"Yeah, the only reason I asked for you to stay was me was-" My words stop, because I don't want to cry. "What Katniss." I brush my tears quickly away with my hand. "Because Peeta said always and that he would love me forever." I look up at Gale and give him a sad smile. "But he failed to mention that forever had a expiration date." Gale looks away, so do I. "I just wanted to know that I'm sorry, and that Peeta will get better Catni-" "Please don't call me Catnip right now." He nods slowly.

"Alright, sorry." Cressida comes in, holding Willows hand. "Alright, I explained everything to her so let's go make magic!" "Really?" Willow squeals. I chuckle, scooping her up and kissing her cheeks. "Well, not real magic but we'll use our imaginations." Then my back starts aching and I grimace and set her down slowly. "You okay Katniss?" Cressida asks, putting her hand on my shoulder. I nod. "Yeah, I guess I shouldn't really hold her in my condition." I can already hear Peeta nagging at me in the back of my head.

Cressida nods. "Well let's get going, Gale are you coming with us?" He shakes his head. "Nah I'll stay here and watch the house and ButterCup." She shrugs. "Alright, let's go guys." Willow rushes off with Pollux, dragging him by the hand to get him to the meadow. Cressida looks at me. "Did you and him get into an argument?" I shake my head. "Just something awkward happened a few days ago." She nods slowly. "So did you go to your appointment for the baby?" I nod.

"It's doing okay, it actually didn't take damage from the stabbing." She smiles. "Good, that's great." Silence fills the air between us as the autumn breeze makes my leather jacket flutter as it's unzipped showing off my distended stomach under my black shirt. "Cressida?" "Yeah?" "Do you really think this'll help Peeta?" She nods.

"I think there's a very good possibility."

"Look mommy! There's leaves in a big pile let's go play in the leaves!" I giggle. "I'm coming." She looks over at Pollux and nods. "Let's make some magic." Pollux taps his headset and the camera starts rolling. I grab Willows hand and we run and jump into the leaves together. I wrap my arms closely around her, kissing her cheeks and grinning. Then I point to Pollux and his headset.

"Say hi to daddy." I chuckle, kissing the top of her head and she flails her arms. "Hi daddy! I love you!" I hold the urge to say it because I don't want him to freak out when he sees this so I just smile. Later after more orchestrated moments with Willow we sit and chew on apples, all of us taking a break by the lake. All of the sudden a MockingJay lands on my shoulder and Willow giggles. "Looks like you have a friend MockingJay." Cressida says and Pollux signs something and Cressida giggles. "What did he say?" "He said that all living things gravitate towards you." He signs something again and Cressida grins. "He said that's obviously why you're such a great hunter."

I look over at him a he takes a chunk out of his apple and he winks, smiling. I pick off a piece of my apple and hand it to the MockingJay. It takes it in its long black beak and flies away quickly. I smile a little, then whistle Rues four note tone. They mimic the tone back to us, echoing through the whole forest and Willow grins. "You've shown me that one before mama, it looks like they like it." I laugh. "It does doesn't it?" I bring her into my lap and smile as she eats more of her apple. "You want to learn a new one?" Willow nods quickly.
