Chapter 83

Katniss's POV

With Johanna back in her house with Gale and our goodbyes said before we head to 7, Peeta and I start to pack for our week alone together for our honeymoon. I pack a variation of clothing not knowing what the weather could be like and I slip the bag in with the lingerie in it while Peeta got some essentials from the bathroom. I'm saving that for tonight, knowing that many things could happen while we were on our honeymoon. With everything packed, we head downstairs with our suitcases and then we put them in the car because the train station is a fair way away from here. With everything packed and ready, we head over to Finnick and Annie's along with some of Willow's things that Peeta didn't take over while Johanna and I were out.

"Hey Peeniss." Finnick greets us. "Hey Finnick." I say. "Come in. I can tell you want to see your little girl." Finnick invites us in. "Yeah. I want to say goodbye to her before we leave because I am going to miss our little girl." I explain walking into the house. We walk into the lounge after Finnick tells us where they are. I see Annie nursing both Finn and Willow. "Hello Katniss. Happy birthday." She says. "Thanks. Hello." I say back. She keeps her grip on Finn tight as she passes Willow to me. I take my daughter willingly and kiss her fore head. Her sleepy eyes stay shut and I just hold onto her. I feel Peeta's arms snake around me and his fingers cross over mine as I hold onto Willow as she sleeps.

"She is so quiet. She has only been here a few hours and she as not cried once and she just talked until she fell asleep. She is so peaceful. I wish Finn was that calm and easy to handle." Annie explains. "I have no idea where Willow got all that calm from, but if anyone it is Peeta because he is so much calmer than me." Peeta just nods along as he agrees. "We are just very lucky parents to have Willow as our daughter. She has always slept so peacefully and hardly cried which has been good for us." "Actually Katniss, while you were away, she cried so much and screamed so much because she knew you weren't there to calm her." Peeta corrects me. "Yeah I remember that. We could hear her crying so much. She set of Finn into a screaming fit." Finnick explains. "Sorry about that." I apologies. "It's okay. We have gotten better at calming him now, that or he is just better than before." Finnick says. I just shrug my shoulders and go back to admiring my daughter.

We leave Finnick and Annie's with tears in my eyes. We hop in the car and Peeta drives us to the train station. The moon lights our way as well as the headlights. You can hear the animals in the woods howling as the day becomes night and they all come out from hiding. As I listen to the howls and sounds of 12 and look at the trees and see the moon beaming through the branches and trunks, I let a tear slip as I think about leaving Willow again. Peeta must realise when I sniff and wipe the tears away, because he wraps an arm around me and pulls me closer to him.

"It's going to be fine Katniss. Willow is safe with Finnick and Annie. They said they would call us every day and let us talk to Willow through the phone. It's going to be okay baby." He reassures me. I nod my head as another tear comes out. I laugh and more unwanted tears fall out. "It's just, I already miss her so much even though we aren't out the District." I say, sniffling in between words. "I know Katniss, I miss her too. It just shows how much of a good, loving mother you are." Peeta explains. I smile and wipe the tears away and take a deep breath to calm down. Peeta kisses my fore head and then continues driving, with his hand on my thigh, making me feel more secure.

We get to the train station and we get our suitcases and have our tickets at the ready, to find we have yet another train fully to ourselves. Peeta sure knows how to make the best of deals with people in which to make people happy. When we got on the train, we are told that we are scheduled to arrive in 7 in fifty minutes. At this stage it was almost seven o'clock, so we would arrive just before eight. Peeta and I head into the dining cart, where we will have dinner and spend a majority of the time while on the train.
