A lot of people came to see Willow.  There was Prim, Haymitch, Effie, Plutarch, and even Johanna.  They all thought she was adorable.  Finnick and Annie couldn't come because Annie is really pregnant, but they know and are happy for us.

Since it's January we got a bunch of little coats and things for Willow from other people.  We are getting everything ready right now.

We go home and we put Willow in her nursery.  It's really plain right now but I thought when Peeta gets the chance he can paint it.

One week later...

Today I'm going to call my mom.  I'm just gonna pick up the phone and do it.

"Hello?" My mother answers

"Um it's Katniss"

"Oh my gosh Katniss how are you?" 

"Um pretty good but could you just come and visit me?"  I ask

"Yes I can be there in about an hour" she says

"ok that would be great thanks, Bye mom"

"Bye honey"

I throw on a sweater, jeans, some boots, and braid my hair half up half down.  I get Willow in her coat and little bunny hat then put my trench coat on with my gray hat. Prim comes down the stairs ready and  Peeta puts his coat and hat on too and we walk outside and go to the train station.  We wait and then my mom's train pulls up. I see my mother and she steps out and comes to me.

"Hi mom" I say

"Oh Katniss darling"  She says. I give her a small smile.

"Oh and little Primrose" she says and hugs her.

"So this is your daughter"  She asks

"Yes. Willow Rue Mellark" I say

"She is beautiful" 

I smile and Peeta says thank you.

"Want to go back to the house?" I ask

"Sure"

We get back to the house and Peeta hands Willow to my mom.

"She's little"

"she's only one week old" Peeta says

"Yea I know, I got a phone call when she was born"  What!?  She didn't even come to see me! 

"Peeta do you think you could take Willow and Prim to go visit Haymitch?" I ask

"Of course" He says and I can tell he knows what I'm thinking.

The three of them leave and now it's just me and my mother.

"You knew?" I ask

"About what?"

"About Willow being born, and you didn't come and see her" I say raising my voice

"I was very busy at the hospital" she says

"Really!? You could've came when you weren't busy.  I had to call you just for you to come.  Then you could just drop everything and come?!"

"I didn't want to be a bother" She says now raising her voice

"Your my mother!  Your first grandchild was born and you didn't even care!" I say

"You really want to here the real reason?!"  she asks well more like yells

"yes I actually do want to here you brilliant logic!" I yell back

"You guys are too young to be parents!  You got pregnant at 17!  You are too young for a boyfriend let alone a baby!" 

"I LOVE HIM!  YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!  THE GAMES CHANGED ME!  AND I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!  I LED A FREAKING REBELLION!  AND YET YOU THINK I'M TOO YOUNG TO HANDLE THIS?  I'VE SURVIVED THE HUNGER GAMES, TWICE!  YET YOU STILL THINK I'M TOO YOUNG FOR A BOYFRIEND?"  I scream

"You know what, I'm leaving. I don't need your crap" My mother gets up.

"DAD WOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOU!" I yell

"YOU LEAVE YOUR FATHER OUT OF THIS!"

"NO!  YOU ABANDONED US!  I TOOK CARE OF PRIM NOT YOU!"

With that she walks out the door. 

I just walk up the stairs into my bedroom and I just lay there and cry.
