Katniss POV- (The next day, about 3pm)

"Kat! You're very pregnant!" Annie squeals as we meet at her front door.

I laugh a little and hug her, my belly kind of getting in the way. I don't care what Peeta said, anyone who knows me could sure tell I was pregnant at four months, but again, I never realized and that was crazy of me.

"Oh, you look so beautiful!" She says, looking me over.

I scoff and shake my head, Peeta comes up behind me and sets his hand on my shoulder.

"She looks good, doesn't she?" He says.

Annie nods her head and drags us inside.

"Oh, I am so excited!" She squeals, pulling me to the couch.

"Where are the boys?" I ask her looking about, not seeing either Finns.

"They are at the store preparing for your visit."

"Okay..." I say awkwardly.

Peeta just smiles a little at me.

"So, Finnick said you wouldn't hun me the name." Annie says.

"Her name is going to be Willow." I say softly, proudly I guess.

"That is such a beautiful name, Kat. I think it is going to fit her nicely." She smiles genuinely.

"Thank you." I say with a smile.

Peeta sits down next to me and takes my hand.

"How is Finn doing?" Peeta asks Annie.

"He's doing really good, he's 5 months old already and I can't believe it."

I frown and give a lip.

"You better enjoy her why she's so little and somewhat quiet. Finn talks so much now."

"Finally found his voice, did he?" Peeta laughs.

Annie laughs, "Oh yes. He loves growling and squealing at me."

I smile happily.

"Yeah, look at these pictures we had taken a few weeks back." Annie says, taking a picture frame from the end table and handing it to me.

"Oh my goodness." I say, admiring their family picture.

"Those are really good, Annie." Peeta says with a smile.

I stare at it.

That's going to be us in a few months.

"Yeah, you both need to take lots of pictures of her while she's little too. Peeta you need to paint her." Annie says.

"I will."

I give her a knowing look and she laughs a little.

"He painted Finn some." I tell her.

"Aw, really? You'll have to show me sometime. I bet they're wonderful!" She cheers.

"They are. He's an amazing artist." I brag and Annie agrees.

"Peetie!" I hear no one other than Finnick Odair squeal as he bursts through the door, sacks of groceries and a baby carrier in hand.

Finnick rushes over, handing Finn to Annie and dropping the groceries onto the floor of their living room with a pang.

I stand up and go straight to Finn and Finnick runs straight into Peeta's arms.

They share their normal weird hug, dramatic greeting session and I immediately take Finn out of his carseat and pick him up.

"Hello, little guy." I say excitedly.

I've been itching to get my hands on him.

He smiles a little shyly at me as I pick him up, resting him on my baby belly.

His green eyes sparkle.

I can't help but to smile like an idiot at him.

"Hi, Finn." I say, staring right into his eyes.

He gurgles a little and smiles widely.

"There's your Aunt Katniss, huh?" Annie says kneeling down beside me.

"How are you baby boy? I've missed you a lot." I tell him truthfully.

It's like after I found out, I just can't get enough of babies.

Whether it's in the supermarket or wherever, they just steal my heart and I ache to hold them, but can't. At least with Carter and Finn, I can do that whenever I want without getting weird looks.

I noticed it started when I guess I just got pregnant, it was not as bad as it is now, but still.

"Are you and Aunt Katniss and Uncle Peeta gonna have a fun day or two?" Annie asks.

"I think so." Peeta says, kneeling down next to me too, his hand on my shoulder.

"Katniss, I never thought I would live to see the day." Finnick says as I stand up and hug him, my belly plus his own child in the way.

He laughs a little and I smirk at him.

"How is the mini Katniss?" He asks.

I laugh a little and shake my head, "She is fabulous." I tell him.

"That's good, Katniss. That's really good." Finnick says, smiling widely, like a proud big brother.

"Well, Finnick we better get going." Annie says quietly, standing up again.

"Oh yeah, we better." Finnick says.

I give them all three a look.

"Where are you guys going? We just got here." I ask, confused.

"I have a job interview downtown and after, I thought Annie and I would go on a date, stay somewhere tonight and stuff." Finnick says and I can see that he is lying.

"Finnick..." I say, giving him a knowing look.

"We are." He mumbles, not looking at me.

"Mhm and you'll be gone until tomorrow?" I tell him, giving him a scowl.

He nods.

I can feel Peeta behind me, "It's because you and I need to spend some more time in 'pre-parenting.' I figured you would enjoy it." He mumbles to me.

I sigh deeply and shake my head at them all.

"We will see you again tomorrow evening." Finnick says to Peeta, hugging us both again.

Annie takes Finn out of my arms for a quick second and kisses him on the forehead, Finnick pats his head.

"We will see you tomorrow, little guy." Finnick says to him, kissing his cheek.

He smiles and waves his hands a little at Finnick's face.

"You be good for Aunt Katniss and Uncle Peeta, Finn." Annie says as she hands him back to me.

He smiles a little at them and with that, they go. As soon as the door closes, I turn to Peeta.

"What is actually going on here?" I ask him.

"It's nothing. Maybe it's a surprise." Peeta says.

I roll my eyes, "I'm 20 years old, Peeta. I don't like surprises anymore, not that I really liked them to begin with."

"But you'll like this one if you don't ruin it for yourself." He says.

I sigh and plop down onto the couch, Finn in my lap.

"It's gonna be okay, I promise. Finnick told me you actually know something about it but you aren't putting two and two together." He says, sitting down next to me again.

I sigh and watch Finn while he chews on his fingers.

"He's really cute." I say, admiring him.

Peeta chuckles and lays his head on my shoulder and watches Finn with me.

"I think he and Willow will be good friends."

"If you think about it, they are almost the exact same age in a way. I got pregnant about the time Finn was born."

"Yeah, that's true because you are five months pregnant and Finn is 5 months old too."

"Carter is already 6 months old, nearly 7."

"Yeah, that means in roughly 4 more months she will be 11 months old and Willow will be here."

I smile to myself.

"They are growing up really fast." I frown.

He stares at Finn and doesn't say anything.

I sigh, "I wish Willow was here already."

"Me too." Peeta smiles a little.

I shrug and hand Finn to Peeta.

"I'm going to put these groceries up that Finnick left on the floor." I say, standing up.

Peeta chuckles a little and puts Finn on his knee, he's getting to where he can sit up.

"Hi, bud!" He cheers, making Finn smile widely.

He is so adorable, it's unreal.

I lean down and pick up all the sacks of groceries and lug them into the kitchen and put it all away.

"Finnick is crazy, Willow. Did you know that?" I tell her with a laugh. She fumbles around a little, it feels like she's doing flips.

"You're going to love him though and his wife Annie and their baby Finn. I bet you and Finn will be best friends. Just like Finnick and I."

"Are you going to be Willow's best friend, Finn?" I hear Peeta say as he comes into the kitchen.

I turn around and smile at them both.

"Hi, Aunt Katniss." Peeta says in a baby voice and Finn giggles.

"Hey, boys." I say.

My heart feels so happy right now.

Peeta walks over to me and turns Finn around so I can see him.

I lean down and kiss his little nose.

"What's up, baby?" I ask him while he grins.

He mumbles a few inaudible things and I laugh a little.

"How are my babies doing?" Peeta asks after a second.

I rub my hand across my belly.

It's so weird having my stomach sticking out.

"She is good." I say.

He smiles and pecks my lips, "And my other baby."

"There's only one." I joke.

"I meant you." He says chuckling.

I shrug, "Tired. Confused. Fat."

"Okay, if you're tired go take a nap and you're not fat and why are you confused?" Peeta asks with a grin.

"Because I just have a lot on my mind and I am literally losing my mind." I tell him truthfully.

My brain is so scattered.

"About what?" Peeta asks, confused himself.

I sigh deeply, "I don't know. I am just a little overwhelmed about everything, I suppose."

"Like what?"

I sigh, "Being pregnant and how our lives are changing and how these kids in our lives are growing up and Willow will too. How me and you are getting old and I don't know, I just am on the verge of a breakdown. I just want to cry." I say all in one breath and tears burn in my eyes.

Peeta holds back a sad, pitiful smile and we head into the living room and Finn stares at me while I cry into Peeta's arm.

"Katniss, you're okay." He mumbles softly to me.

I frown and give him a groan.

"Are you crying because you are upset or because of your hormones?" Peeta asks.

"Both, I guess." I shrug.

He sighs and wraps his arms around me, protectively. Finn pushes his hand in my face and kind of slaps at me softly, with a frown on his face.

Peeta kind of chuckles, "Can you tell your Aunt Katniss that it's gonna be okay?"

He just stares at me with his green eyes and a trembling lip as I keep crying involuntarily.

"Tell her." He says softly.

Finn starts crying and I want to cry more because he is. I pick him up and lay him against my chest, his head in my neck. I pat his back and shush him, "It's okay, Finn. Shh." I say, bouncing him up and down but having to give him to Peeta and run to the bathroom.

I relieve myself and begin washing my hands.

"Gosh, Willow." I say, as I dry my hands off on my pants.

It's like the heavier she gets, the more sensitive my bladder is and the slightest thing makes me have to go.

I come out and Peeta walks to me, Finn in his arms, calm again.

"You okay? Did you puke or pee?" Peeta asks.

I can't help but to smirk, "The second one." I sigh with a sniffle.

He chuckles and I walk into his arms.

"I'm sorry." I say, burying my face into his chest, Finn tugs at my braid.

"It's okay, you have a stressful job." Peeta says and I scoff.

"No. All I do is sleep all day and eat and pee a lot." I say shaking my head.

He literally acts like I do things.

Peeta presses his lips to my forehead, "And that's all Willow is going to be doing for the first few years of her life. You're making me a human with your body, Katniss. That's a tough job. Plus, you're taking care of yourself and me too."

I smile to myself, he's so good to me.

"It's not that hard of a job for as much as I complain." I shrug.

I feel like I never stop complaining. It's literally like I'm never happy and it's always been that way.

"It is a hard job. I couldn't do it and I haven't heard you once make an actual complaint about being pregnant. Just about the effects, Katniss and we've known for almost two months." Peeta says.

I just wish he knew how much I wanted to complain but I try not to be as whiney for his sake. He's doing his best to make me as comfortable as I can be.

I sigh and pull my face from his warmth and look at Finn who still stares at me, then I look up at Peeta and he smiles down at me.

"I love you." He mumbles softly.

I smile shyly and look down at the floor and back up at him, with just the hint of a smile.

"I love you too, Peeta." I mutter.

He smiles adorably when I say this and that makes me really happy.
