Finding the Missing Piece: Book 3

Chapter Two

Katniss POV- (A week later)

Everything has been absolutely perfect since Peeta and I reunited.

I think we really did need a break to see how much we really did need each other.

Maybe the occasional short break won't be too bad for us?

I was definitely needed as much as we both hated it.

I guess we just got burnt out a little bit with the same old, same old though, I used to swear it never happens, but it in fact does.

That doesn't make me love him any less though or make him love me any less either.

I think all couples realize that eventually.

Breaks are good.

Bristol's doctor informed her that she could be popping any time soon, though, there's still about three weeks to go.

The baby is ready and Bristol's body is so tiny that if she waits too long, it won't be good so she could be having her any time now.

Peeta and I have discussed it and when Bristol calls, I'm flying out to be with her.

We were also informed that Bristol and Brandon are moving to a house in District Twelve after the baby is born.

When she gave me the news, I was ecstatic.

I'll have all of my best friends living in the same town as me, except for Finnick and Annie but they're here all the time so it's not much different.

Peeta and I talked about it and while Bristol is having the baby, I'll be there with her while he moves her to Twelve.

Actually, Peeta, Finnick, Cato, Marvel, Thresh and even Gale agreed to help travel their things to Twelve from Bristol's dorm and Brandon's house, which is extremely helpful.

Brandon is at war right now and we have no idea when he will be back, it could be months and months before he even gets to meet his daughter.

I just hope he gets to meet her, honestly.

I think that's Bristol's biggest fear; losing Brandon and having to raise the baby alone.

That's why I am glad she'll be here so Peeta and I can help her.

I'm almost positive that Peeta is more excited about Bristol moving here than I am. Probably because of the baby but I'm just as excited.

I honestly can't wait to see Peeta with her.

I know how much he loves kids.

They just click with each other.

He's such a nurturing person, how could kids not love him?

I can't wait for him to be 'Uncle Peeta' as Bristol and I tease him.

He may act like he doesn't like it but I know it makes him extremely happy to be called 'Uncle Peeta,' and extremely happy to portray that role.

Peeta being so good with children makes my decision of having kids easier.

I know I've been back and forth about it, especially after what happened to Bristol a while back but I know it's nothing Peeta and I can't handle together.

And I know that Peeta will be a great dad someday.

I've seen him, at the grocery store and the mall, just about anywhere really, kids smile at him or wave or even come up and speak to him.

They love him.

Opposite of me.

I mean, sure, I practically raised Prim but kids don't like me as much as they like Peeta.
