Finding the Missing Piece: Book 3

Chapter Three

Katniss POV- (A few days later)

"Peeta!" I holler from the living room, putting my phone down.

He comes from the kitchen, calm.

"What's up?"

"Bristol is going to the hospital to have the baby. I need you to call the airport and see when they can get me a flight." I tell him excitedly.

"Oh, okay. I'll call right now." Peeta says and retrieves his phone from his pocket. He smiles nervously and shakily unlocks his phone.

"Peeta, they are going to be okay." I laugh, seeing how nervous he just got about this all.

He looks up, "I know. Sorry." He mumbles.

I slap his back gently, trying to decide what to do next.

Peeta won't be going with me on the plane but will probably start moving Bristol today.

"You also need to call the guys and figure out what the plan is, okay?"

Peeta nods.

"I'm going to go pack my stuff." I say as I trudge up the staircase and into our bedroom.

I throw in enough clothes for a few days and head back downstairs.

"You leave in 20 minutes. You should be in 5 by noon. I am having Finnick pick you up and take you to the hospital." Peeta says softly.

"Okay, when are you leaving?" I ask.

"As soon as I can get all the guys here. I promise, I'll be there sometime tomorrow." Peeta assures me.

I nod my head, "Okay, just please be safe. I'll keep you updated and send you pictures as soon as I can." I say, embracing him.

His arms wrap around my body and he holds me tightly.

"I'll miss you. Please, just be safe." Peeta whispers, kissing the side of my neck.

I nod and kiss his cheek, "I will. I'll miss you too. Call me before you leave. Please?"

"Yeah, of course. Do you want me to drive you to the airport?" He asks me, still shaking with excitement.

I nod my head and Peeta picks up my bag, keys in his hand.

Silently, we walk out of our front door and get into the car.

We begin the drive to the airport and before I know it, I'm on the plane.

It's a two hour trip and before I know it, I arrive.

I follow the line of people to the baggage claim and find my bag as I am almost knocked off my feet in a hug.

"Katniss!" Finnick squeals, hugging me tightly.

I roll my eyes, Finnick is a weirdo but I love him.

"Oh. Hey, Finnick." I laugh, steadying myself better on my feet.

He smiles widely grabbing my lightweight bag from the ground, "Let's go." He says.

I laugh and follow Finnick out to his car, we get in and the conversation never dies down.

"How's married life?" I eventually ask him.

Finnick and Annie eloped awhile back, in June I think.

"Perfect. I'm sorry we didn't invite you. We didn't invite anyone." Finnick's says, eyes on the road.

"It's okay. You better come to my wedding though." I say seriously.

Finnick smiles, "I wouldn't miss it. Even though you're taking my best friend from me."
