Family on Fire (book 2 in "toast")

Chapter 25

PEETA'S POV

I groggily wake up to a nurse releasing my arm from a blood pressure cuff

"Good afternoon Mr. Mellark" where's Katniss? I usually enjoy having conversations with other people but at the moment, i'm NOT in the mood to chat

"I know you must be worried about your wife and son, well Oakley has made it safely from recovery, he is with an uncle at the moment. And your wife had your baby, your other son is in her room right now"

"what?! I need to see her now!" she puts her arms out defensively

"Woah woah woah Mr. Mellark, calm down. You have been cleared to be transferred into your wife's room as soon as you woke up. A nurse will be in in a few minutes to transfer you to a wheelchair and wheel you to your wife's room" i sigh and lay back, there's no use in getting tense now, a nurse is coming for me

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

They wheel me into the room next to Katniss and she looks at me with tears in her eyes and a baby nestled in her arms

"You got your little princess" she says

I laugh... big mistake. My side begins to throb so my laugh turns into an emotionless yell. Katniss looks at me confused

"Sorry Katniss that was just so... cheesy" i laugh harder which turns into louder emotionless cries until eventually i give up and lay there motionless

"Ummm okay then" Katniss says

"How did this happen to us?" i ask with a smile. I still can't believe it! How is this even possible? Like out of the billions of people this could happen to, it happened to me

I prop myself up on my elbow and Stare into my little girl's precious eyes. she is very small, a lot smaller than the boys were when they were born, with a full head of curly brown hair and the brightest blue eyes ever. Even brighter than Oakley's

As he gets older, Bare's eyes have turned a lot more gray, his eyes were so blue when he was a baby but now they are almost identical to Katniss'

Katniss catches me staring and i can see her grinning from the corner of my eye

she hands the baby to me and i hold my little girl for the first time

"What did you name her?" she smacks my shoulder playfully

"Stop it! You know i wouldnt name her without you" she rolls her eyes in annoyance

"Well okay, then what do you WANT to name her?" a smile spreads from ear to ear

"I don't know Peeta, i really hadn't thought about it... except-" she trails off, almost as if waiting for my reaction

"Well? I'm sure whatever you're thinking is beautiful" she looks up at me with tears forcing their way to the front of her eyes

"I want her middle name to be Primrose"

Bare perks up at this and snuggles a bit closer

"Primrose like my auntie?" Katniss nods and holds him closer

Primrose.... Primrose.... I always thought that Willow was an adorable name, but i feel like Willow Primrose is a bit of a mouthful

I try to think about everything that has happened in our lives this far. Any happy memory we have that could remind us every day of what we've made it through

How did it all start? Katniss volunteered for Prim (we are using Prim's name) then Katniss and i won together and went back to 12. We went into the games for a second time and by then Katniss was labeled the "girl on fire" fire... cato had called me bread boy when i was in the career back with them... maybe...

I start to laugh again. Upon realizing this is the first response i've given since Katniss suggested the name, i realize i have just made a big mistake

"No no Katniss, I really like the middle name as Primrose, i was thinking about something else" it was too late, she crossed her arms angrily and scowled at me, looking more hurt than angry

"I was laughing because... you were the girl on fire, i was the bread boy... what if we named our little girl... toast?" i couldn't contain myself anymore and began a fit of laughter

A smile forced itself to edge of her lips and eventually she gave in with a laugh

"Sorry i should have responded first" she waves it off and returns to staring at our unnamed child

"Hey Katniss i was thinking, we have to recover- all 3 of us- for the next 2 days, maybe we can just call her 'something primrose' for now?" i say with a chuckle. Katniss Shrugs in agreement

"Are you our little something Primrose?" she asks, kissing somethings little squishy cheeks

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I wake up suddenly and glance at the clock '3:37 am'

We are leaving the hospital today. Technically i was able to leave yesterday but i stayed with Oakley, Katniss and something until they were ready to go

I reach over and grab Katniss' hand. She was fast asleep with little something passed out at her side, but now her eyes are prying themselves open

"Katniss i just had an idea for something primrose's first name" i say. She looks at me in anticipation

"Ember" her eyes light up

"I figured its fitting, considering she's the girl on fire's daughter" Katniss nods and strokes Ember's hair

"Hi Ember Primrose... i'm your mommy" she whispers, drifting back to sleep

I decide to do the same
