Chapter 12: Amazing

The Next Day, Morning

*Dixie's POV*

I was awoken by Katniss's cries but soon they died down. Suspicious, I made my way to the nursery where she slept. I was ready to punch someone when I realized that it was Matt. He was changing her diaper. I looked at the clock on the wall. It was 8:30 a.m..

"Hey, you're back."

"I am." He replied, walking over once Katniss was settled in his arms. 

"How was work?"

"Great."

"How about Hugh?"

"That candidate? He's on Engine." 

"Ah." I replied, running my thumb over Katniss's smooth, chubby cheek. Then, Katniss began crying. I scooped her up and said, "I think she's hungry."

"Okay. I'll go take a shower and get breakfast ready." He replied. I nodded and returned to our bedroom, settling down to breastfeed her.

Once Katniss was done, I burped her, and at that exact moment Matt came out of the shower. He planted a kiss on my head before walking outside. I heard a pan being taken out and the refrigerator being opened. 

I walked out and put Katniss down in her baby bassinet before going to grab orange juice and pour some into a cup. I sat down on the sofa, turning on the television and switching to some cartoons. After taking a drink of orange juice, I put the cup on the coffee table before bouncing Katniss up and down on my knee.

I found Matt gazing at me, so I said, "Take a picture, it'll last longer."

"You just look so amazing in my shirt." He replied, taking a drink of coffee. I laughed. I was wearing one of his CFD shirts which was too big for me and a pair of terrycloth shorts.

"It was comfy." I replied, smiling as Katniss began to coo. Matt sat down beside me and Katniss reached out her cute hands. It was her way of asking to be carried. I laughed and handed her to Matt who showered her with kisses. 

"You guys are cute together." I commented.

"Of course we are. She's my daughter."

"She is." I replied, cuddling closer to Matt and leaning my head on his shoulder. It was around 9: 15 a.m. when I said, "Why don't you get some sleep? We can go for a walk in the park later."

"Okay. Can you wake me up when it's ten?"

"Why are you sleeping so little?"

"We managed to sleep in between calls. It was a calm night." Matt replied as he headed into our bedroom. I followed suit, sitting on the bed beside Matt, playing with Katniss who was laying on her back. 

Matt fell asleep not long after, so when ten rolled by, he was refreshed. Matt entertained Katniss in the living room while I chose what to wear. Finally, I settled on a black ribbed halter neck top and jeans. After changing, I brushed my hair and put on light makeup. I went outside and took Katniss from Matt so he could change.

"Are you wearing makeup?" He asked.

"Yeah, a little. Why?"

"You don't need makeup, babe."

"Why thank you, Matt, but quickly go and change. Katniss is getting fussy." I replied, pointing at my baby who had a cute pout on her face. Matt went to change and came out wearing a t-shirt and jeans. I put Katniss down in her cot while Matt prepared her baby bag. I grabbed my phone and wallet, dumping them into a tote bag. Then, I got Katniss and we both put on our socks and shoes. Matt wore white Converse high tops and I went for my white Nike Air Force 1 '07s instead of the usual Adidas Superstars.
