Chapter Sixty Seven

PEETA'S POV

I watch silently from the kitchen as Katniss and Hugo look over maps of Panem and adding marks to where troops need to be sent out to. I don't tell Katniss about my suspicions, I don't want to worry her. I walk away, giving her privacy.

It must be just a coincidence. Willow peeks in the doorway with Haymitch behind her, holding apples in a basket. "Here, we picked these for you and sweetheart." I nod a thank you. He looks over and sees Katniss sitting with Hugo, signing something with her beautiful signature. "What's going on?" "People on the boarder are trying to get in." He nods. "Oh." He ruffles Willows dark curls.

"Well junior and I had a very busy day so she must be tired, she told me she was going to go to bed early." I raise an eyebrow. "Really? That's a first." I say chuckling, scooping her up and kissing her cheeks as she yawns. "I'm very sleepy." I kiss her cheek once more. "Alright, how about I tuck you in?" "I would like that daddy." I grin.

"Great." I turn and mouth thank you to Haymitch and he gives me a thumbs up. I walk Willow upstairs after setting the apples they picked on the table. I put her in her pajamas and then tuck her in. The sun is now setting and I kiss her nose. "Goodnight Willow, I love you." She smiles, turning over. "I love you too daddy." I walk out and shut her door gently. I hear Katniss bidding Corex goodbye and she shuts the door. I walk down the stairs and see tears in her eyes.

"Katniss what happened?" She shakes her head, covering her mouth. "Katniss tell me." I say she shakes her head again. I grip her forearms enough to get her attention. "Tell me now." "I have to go back in." "Go back into what Katniss?" "I have to come out of retirement after the baby is born and help them with keeping the boarders protected."

Tears start to fill in my eyes. "No, w-we were just getting our life started again." I rest my forehead against hers. "Maybe we can change something-" "Peeta." She smiles sadly, stroking my cheek. "There's no way of changing it now, I gotta go by a month after the baby's born." She wraps her arms around me and I burst into sobs, holding my pregnant wife who is now being so strong.

She shushes me. "Sh, it's going to be okay Peeta... We're going to be okay." She kisses my ear. "Even if I'm a thousand miles away, I couldn't love you less." She then looks at me. She presses her lips against mine. When she breaks away she looks upstairs. "Guess I'll need to get the old girl out of retirement too." She is talking about Beetee's bow.

"Looks like it." I whisper. Later that night as I can't sleep I look over at Katniss's sleeping form, she's on her side, the only comfortable position for her right now. I slowly snake my arms around Katniss's waist and rest my lips on the crook of her neck and she sighs. "Your smile Katniss is so beautiful." I whisper, taking her limp hand.

"Your laugh is so charming and beautiful it drives me insane. Your heart is so warm and loving and compassionate it kills me,

Everytime I hear you talking about Prim, or Willow your eyes light up and I know that you really mean what you say about them and how much you love them." I trace her wedding ring with my thumb.

"Haymitch was wrong about you, about how he said you could live a thousand lifetimes and never deserve me." I kiss her cheek and she smiles in her sleep again, making me giggle. "You deserve every happiness in the world Katniss, every little thing." I bite my lip. "I know that when I wasn't around, you would see me in your dreams... I saw you all the time in my dreams, you were the only thing that kept me going for a while." I look at the moon that lazily looms over the sky.

"I would wake up screaming in my dreams and the door to my cell would open and I would see you in your nightgown, hair a curly mess, your grey eyes were filled with fears and you would ask me if I had a nightmare and I would say yes." I smile against the warmth of Katniss's skin. "And then you would lay down on the blood covered floor with me and you would let me hold you, but then I would wake up right before you would kiss me goodnight." God I don't want her to leave, I really don't want her to.

Tears begin to pool in my eyes. "I remember the way y-you looked at me when I just got to thirteen." "What did I look like?" Katniss mumbles softly, still half asleep. I nestle my face back into the crook of her neck. "You looked so content, you looked so relieved, so happy... And before you could say anything I snapped." I keep my face in the crook of her neck as now I feel her hand grip mine.

"Please... Stay." She slowly turns over so we are nose to nose and she sighs with a smile, her eyes still closed.

She kisses my lips and then opens them to where I see the beautiful grey I've fallen in love with filled with tears. "Always." She rests her head on my chest and for the rest of the night we lay in silence and darkness.

KATNISS'S POV

I walk upstairs in the late afternoon the next day with Willow trailing behind me. Peeta is in the kitchen making lunch as we then proceed to the attic. When I we make it up there Willows eyes go wide at all the things in here.

"Wow." "It's pretty cool up here isn't it?" She nods quickly. Then she sees her old crib. "Wow!" She rushes over to it. "Look mama it still has my teeth marks from when I was teething!" I laugh and nod. Then as she looks at her old baby stuff I creep over to the large golden chest in the middle of the room and get down on my knees.

I set my scarred hands on the gold top and sigh after taking a moment. I open it up and see my MockingJay uniform, ripped to in places, blood splatters on it, and burn holes all over it. My boots are actually still in good condition and my bow still stands the same, I haven't dare touched it sense the moment of President Snows granddaughters death.

I pick it up slowly and feel it buzz in my hand. I sigh and then hear the phone ring. "I'll be back Willow." I run down the two flights of stairs and grab the phone that Peeta was about to grab. I kiss his lips gently. "Hello?" I ask into the phone. "Oh hello darling it's Flavius, I heard that your suite needed some attention." I nod. "Yes it needs a ton of work, whenever you have the chance to come down Id love that." He chuckles.

"Next week 12:00?" I nod. "Sounds good to me." He laughs. "Alright darling I'll talk to you then, sending love." Then he makes a kiss noise into the phone and so do I. I hang up and look at Peeta. He raises an eyebrow. "Flavius, he wants to fix my Uniform." He nods and then all of the sudden I hear willows slow footsteps coming down the stairs and her giggles.

Peeta wraps his arms around my waist and rest his hands on my belly. Then we see Willow in my ripped and burnt MockingJay uniform, holding my bow and has my boots on. She lifts my bow in the sky. "I'm the MockingJay and you're gonna have to deal with it!" She falls over because of the weight of it and how long it is compared to her. I laugh loudly and so does she as ButterCup starts licking her face.

Peeta has a cheesy smile on his face and I wonder how I will be able to leave my loving family?
