I wake up when I feel a cold breeze on my legs.

Looking over to the window I see the curtains slightly moving but it's still dark out.

It must be in the middle of the night but I know i haven't been sleeping for long.

Tyler woke up earlier for a feed but took longer than normal.

I feel like I only closed my eyes for a second before lily woke up.

Now again I'm here in my room wide awake.

I sit up to see that I have no blanket.

Peeta has it all wrapped around his body tightly.

"Peeta." I say tapping him slightly.

Of course he doesn't move.

He does look rather cosy all wrapped up but I'm freezing, especially with the window open, our bedroom door open.

On top of that, Peeta doesn't have his strong arms around me.

"Peeta, wake up." I say a little louder.

When he doesn't wake again I decide to try something different.

I pull on the edge of the blanket but it's no use.

He must be lying on a part of it because it's not budging.

"Peeta wake up." I say much louder.

Hopefully I didn't wake none of the kids.

He shoots up looking around until his eyes land on me.

"Katniss, what's wrong? did you have a nightmare?" He asks looking concerned.

"No I'm freezing." i state waiting for him to catch on.

He's still sitting with the blanket wrapped around his waist and legs.

Strangely he hasn't noticed.

"Why are you cold? Do you want me to go and turn on the heat?" He asks starting to get up.

"No you have all the blanket." i reply finally.

He looks confused before looking down.

"Oh, I'm sorry." he says untangling himself from the blanket before pulling me to lie down.

I sigh when I feel the warmth surround me.

"That's better." I say closing my eyes.

"I didn't realise I took it all." he answers wrapping his arms around my waist.

"It's fine, it's all good now." I say with a short laugh which he returns.

"I'm glad, sleep tight." Peeta says kissing my forehead.

"You too." I say before drifting off into wondrous peaceful sleep.

{ 5 hours later }

The next time I wake it's morning.

I can tell by the sunlight that's how shining in my face on the beautiful Monday morning.

Without thinking I pull the pillow from beneath my head and put it over my face.

Keeping my eyes guarded from the bright light that's stopping me from sleeping.

It's not until I hear a groan that I remember Peeta shares the same pillow.

"Katniss?" Peeta whispers sitting up.

I decide it would be best to pretend I'm still sleeping.

It's hard pretending to be asleep, especially with Peeta in the bed next to me.

I close my eyes tightly under the pillow biting my lip to stop my self from laughing.

"I know your awake." Peeta says resting his chin on my shoulder.

I can't stop the smile that appears on my face but still I stay quite.

"Okay, I guess il just get up." he says as I feel movement.

Well that backfired.

"No." I say sitting up grabbing his hand.

"Don't leave yet." I say pulling him back down into a lying position.

"Are you going to share?" Peeta asks with a smirk looking down at the pillow.

"We need thicker curtains." I say letting go of the pillow and putting it back to where it belongs on our bed.

"Why do you need curtains when I can just guard you from the light?" Peeta questions making me roll my eyes.

"Because that doesn't work." I point out.

We snuggle closer together hoping to get more sleep.

"Mama." what sounds like willow shouts.

I groan as Peeta laughs.

"Someone wants you." Peeta says with a smile making me hit him playfully.

"Shh it's gone quiet." I reply closing my eyes again.

"Mama mama mama mama." the shouting continues.

"Seriously willow." I say sitting up.

"Bye, have fun." Peeta says snuggling closer into the covers.

I pick up his trousers from the floor.

"Get up lazy bum, I'm hungry." I laugh before leaving the bedroom.

If he's not up in 5, il get him up.
