Katniss's POV-

Peeta and I step off of the train and start our walk home. 

"Should we move?" Peeta asks.

I stop and look at him. 

"Like to another District?" Peeta continues. 

I stare at him in shock. "No. We shouldn't. This is where our story began, and this is where I want it to end."

Peeta looks at me sympathetically. "But that was another chapter of our lives. This is a new one. a happy one."   

"So you're not happy here in District 12?"

Peeta shakes his head. "No. No. I am happy here but I feel we could be happier somewhere else."

I don't say anything and continue walking home.

When Peeta and I arrive home, he says, "I'm sorry for bringing up moving, I never should've brought it up. It was stupid." 

I stop and think to myself, It wasn't stupid. Is this how I make Peeta feel? That he has to do everything my way?  

I snap out of my thoughts. "You have nothing to be sorry for. It isn't stupid, it's how you feel and we can talk about it some more later." 

Peeta's eyes light up. "Really?"

"Really." I say with a smile. 

Peeta pulls me into an embrace and we stay that way for a long time.

The next day...

Katniss's POV-

I wake up to find the other side of the bed empty. 

I panic. "Peeta!"

"Yes?" He answers as he walks back into the room, concern on his face. 

"Nothing. Just wanted to know where you were." I respond with a smile. 

Peeta smiles back right before I run into the bathroom to puke. I hate morning sickness. 

Peeta walks in and holds back my hair. 

After I finish puking, I take a shower and Peeta makes us breakfast. 

I'm really lucky to have him, I think  to myself as I braid my hair.
