Chapter 22: Katniss
I can see his whole emotion shatter when he understands. It breaks me further.
"Leigh was our last baby." I choke out and bury myself into his chest. Starting to sob. His arms wrap around me and it gives me a percent of relief, more comfort.
"I - I didn't want to say anything because you'd be destroyed. But you're my husband so you had a right to know." I explain and cover my eyes, releasing tears.He doesn't try to console me, like he would when I suffered from a nightmare. But today, he lets his own grief escape.
"We were ready though, for her to be our last. But this.." he sniffed and buried his head in my shoulder.
"Don't. Don't try and comfort me. Just this one time." he nods into my shoulder and his grip in his embrace tightens up. I wipe my eyes with my thumb and sigh.
Wrapping my arms tighter around him, holding him in his spot.
There is sound when a door opens and Peeta and I separate. I rest my hands on his chest and he holds them gently.
He looks behind him and I see the corner of his mouth curve up. I peek over her shoulder to see Dwyn carrying Leigh.
"Dada, Mama, she's hungry." Dwyn alerts us and I go around Peeta to take Leigh into my arms.
"Are you now?" I ask and tickle Leigh's stomach. She grins at me and I wipe her wet cheeks. I sit myself down, confidently letting both of them watch me as I feed Leigh. They've both seen it so many times now.
I then tickle her cheek as she feeds and cradle her back against my arms. Beyond beautiful. Everything is in this room, except me. My husband and daughters are way beyond beautiful and it makes me smile.
