I only slept because I could feel Katniss' arms wrapped tightly around me, I woke up around 7am, I let Katniss sleep on, letting her sleep, rubbing her arm gently, she looks so much happier when she sleeps, she doesn't scowl, she looks peaceful, she looks like the slightly happier version of Katniss, before our first games. I remember watching Katniss, a lot. I used to look at her and think 'I wish she'd notice me' or 'I'd love to get to know her' and I never thought we'd even talk, let alone go on dates, get married, make love and now she's pregnant, she loves me as much as I love her. I remind myself on a regular basis on how lucky I am to have her as my wife.

I remember my fifteenth birthday suddenly, I remember it in huge detail.

I'd been counting down the days to my birthday for weeks, and unfortunately I'd slept in, my mother woke me up, yelling as usual. She was extremely annoyed that I'd slept in, whacking me with a bread tin when I came down the stairs, she'd either forgotten it was my birthday, or didn't care, I was fixing the cake display when Katniss walked in, I walked over (excited, but trying to maintain my cool) to serve her.
"Hi" she'd said
"Hey, what can I do for you"
"Just one loaf of bread. Please."
I got the loaf "here you go"
She handed me the money as I was sorting it to give her the change my dad walked in.
"Oh, Peeta! Happy birthday, I haven't seen you at all today yet" my dad said
"Thanks" I said
My dad walked over to serve another customer.
I handed Katniss her money
"Thanks" she said "and happy birthday"

I could of cried or screamed or both.
My eldest brother walked up to me and said "someone's got a little crush, isn't that so cute. Little peetywheety's in love"
"I wouldn't call it a little crush" I said
"What? Do you go to bed and dream about her or something?" He asked
"If only you knew" I told him, before heading out back and nearly choking on the excitement of what had happened.

The second best birthday of my life involved my mom hitting me with a bread tin. My best birthday was last year, but only because I'd spend it with Katniss, speaking of birthdays, it's April, which means it's nearly Katniss' birthday, which in on the 8th of May.

I'll need to think of something special, something perfect.

I was looking at her face now, trying to figure out what I could get which is as perfect as her, when her eyes fluttered open, I guess she sensed me staring at her.

"What time is it?" She asked, yawning and stretching one hand out behind her back
"7.30" I informed her.
She wrapped her arms around me, pressing her lips to my neck.

I groaned. "Stop teasing me"
She clambered on top of me, pressing her forehead to mine, I could feel her gentle breathing.
"Ugh, Katniss. Now you're teasing me even more"
She gives in, kissing me gently.
"Thank you" I whisper
Katniss places her hands on either side of my head, gently leaning down and kissing me again.
"Want to take a shower with me?" She asks.
"I really couldn't say no" I told her as we ran into the bathroom and turning on the steamy water.

Katniss rubbed the sponge over my chest.
"I really love you" I told her.
"I love you too" she mumbled, pressing herself close to me. I took the opportunity to crash my lips onto hers, her hands immediately travelling to the back of my neck.
I shoved her up against the white tiles, kissing her with enthusiasm, I already knew where this was going.

"Come on Peeta" Katniss moaned "you're teasing me"
I pressed my lips to the side of her neck before entering her swiftly.
"Oh! Yes, Peeta. That's it, that's perfect"

I carried on thrusting until we reached our climaxes.

"You're amazing" Katniss whispered as we were drying off.

I wrapped my arms around her, nuzzling her neck.

"I love you" I whispered.

Katniss turned round, gently placing her lips on mine as I brought my hand up to caress her face, my foot slipped on a small puddle, and the two of us went crashing to the ground.

"Shit! Are you okay?" I asked Katniss, panicking.

"I'm fine" she replied "are you okay?" She asks

"I'm okay" I whispered "you know, since you're already on top of me, how about round two?"

We weren't able to get each other's towels off quick enough, to busy in the moment to realise we were still on the bathroom floor.
