Chapter 7: Katniss
I gaze joyfully down at my new daughter who continues to squirm on my chest, not even a day after her birth. The pale pink dress obviously doesn't securely fit her as her tiny toes peek out from under the fabric and the end of the skirt lying on my belly.
Her fingers curling and uncurling while resting on my bare chest. I feel comfortable now in just a skirt and one of my bras. Peeta insisted that I would be wearing something when Dwyn comes home.
"It's nearly nine. Soon, it'll be time for Dwyn to meet her sister." Peeta speaks up, still stroking my calf with his left hand as his other encases mine that cradles my daughter's small head.
"You're still not mad for not getting any sons from me?" I question, after my nod in reply to his statement. I know the answer just by looking at him. His ocean blue eyes still sparkling after a long night of no sleep. His loving smile he always carries when he's with us. The one that curls widely as he stares at his third creation. Third creation.
"No. I love my daughters and wife. You've created these daughters we share and it doesn't matter what gender."
"We've created these daughters, Peeta. We have. Not just me." I correct and he reaches over to gently place his lips against my forehead. I however make him break it as my new daughter distracts me.
"Hey, no Leigh, no." I state as her fingers grab my key necklace that Peeta gave me on the first Christmas we shared as a couple, even though at the time we we're secretly dating. "This is really special and I don't want it broken." I add and let her fingers wrap around my index finger instead.
"Leigh up to mischief again?" Peeta asks and we both share a few quiet chuckles.
"Yeah, and she's not even a day old yet." I breathe, pressing my head to Peeta's. Both our heads snap towards the bedroom door as we hear the front door burst into action.
"Hello Dwyn!" Rachel exclaims and we now know that she's home.
"Did the baby fairy come last night!?" Dwyn screams and I smile at her enthusiasm. Peeta leaves me to sit back on the chair beside the bed.
"Dwyn can sit by me when she holds Leigh." Peeta knows at my arrangement.
"..they'll want to have time to be a family so I'll head home..." I make out Peeta's mother say.
"Yeah she did Dwyn! Your sister is with Mama and Daddy right now!" Rachel says as the door closes.
"I want to see her now! Please Rachel!" Dwyn begs and I let out a small laugh before looking back at my daughter.
"Hello princess." Peeta greets when Rachel comes in with Dwyn. Peeta reaches into his pocket and gives his phone to Rachel, probably for photos. Dwyn comes up to me and peers at the child in my arms.
"Dwyn, meet your sister." I murmur as I carefully give Dwyn a better view of her baby sister. Peeta gets off his seat to kneel beside Dwyn. Dwyn just stares at Leigh.
"Do you want to know her name Dwyn?" Dwyn just nods, not speaking a word but training her eyes to mine.
"Her name is Leigh Sydnee-Rose." Peeta answers before I can even try to answer.
"Can I hold her Mama?"
"Of course sweetie, we wouldn't say no. How about you come sit by me and I can help you?" Dwyn nods before she carefully sits beside me.
Peeta detaches Leigh from me before Dwyn holds her arms out to hold Leigh. Peeta slowly rests her into her sister's arms as he instructs her how to hold Leigh.
"Look at that! A big sister holding her baby sister!" I exclaim before adding, "You're a big girl!" Dwyn smiles at my statement.
"She's very pretty isn't she Dwyn?" Peeta asks and Dwyn nods. "But not as pretty as the baby fairy." I let out a quiet laugh and Peeta and I share a quick kiss, not wanting to let anything wrong happen to Dwyn or Leigh.
Here we all are, as a family. A family of four that might not have happened if Peeta had not have given me that dance when we were eighteen.
I smile as I look at my family and how amazing I find it. This group of people surrounding me is something that seems magical and a dream, but it isn't. I have a family of my own at twenty-five, and it's my perfect one.
