Chapter 19: Good news

Chapter 19

Katniss P.O.V.

Oh I'm so stupid! I'm so fucking stupid! How could I forget about this?

I got a letter today.

We're supposed to be in court tomorrow, but we can't if Peeta is not here.

I pick up the phone and call our attorney Michelle. She's one of the best and really tough.

"Hey Michelle, this is Katniss Everdeen", I say.

"Oh hey Katniss, how you're doing? Did you and Peeta get the letter?"

"Oh I've been better actually", I sigh. "Yeah I got the letter today, but the thing is that Peeta is out on a mission in Afganistan at the moment, is there any change we can do this when he comes home again?"

"Oh, well, yeah I'll see what I can do, I'll call back when I know okay?"

"Okay thank you Michelle, that would be really great", I say.

"Anytime, how's Primrose doing?"

"She misses Peeta, but she's doing really great, it's like a new her now after she moved in with Peeta and I", I say.

"Oh that's great to hear, well I'll see what I can do".

"Great, bye Michelle", I say.

"Bye Katniss".

I hang up.

Annie comes into the living room with Fisher.

It's been a couple of months now, since the guys went to Afghanistan. So Fisher is growing. He's much bigger now then he was when I first met him at the airport, when we said goodbye to the boys.

Now Fisher is bigger and has more hair, that is starting to curl up and has a really beautiful golden bronze color. His eyes are the perfect shade of green, copies of his fathers.

He's still a bit chubby, but he's starting to get a bit slimmer as well.

"Hey Fisher", I say, tickling his little chubby belly.

Annie looks at me, studying me closely.

"Katniss, what's wrong?" She asks.

I give her the letter and she gives Fisher to me.

"Hey boy, how you doing?" I whisper to him.

I rock him back and forth.

"Oh Katniss", Annie says. "I totally forgot about this".

"Yeah, so did I", I say. "I called Michelle, we can't really do this without Peeta, so she said that she's gonna do what she can, so we can do it when he comes home instead".

We haven't had any contact with the boys in three months, and I'm starting to panic even more.

We have gotten a few letters, they write whenever they can, but that's not very often.

I haven't heard Peeta's voice in three months now.

I miss Peeta's voice, how strange that may sound, but I do. I do miss his voice. I miss how he wakes me up during a nightmare, how he comforts me.

I need my Peeta to come home. I want to marry Peeta. I want to get this thing with my mother to be over.

Annie needs her husband, and Fisher, well Fisher needs his father to come home. Fisher is gonna grow up without a father and that's not good.

It can't be fun for the boys either. I mean, they're the once in Afghanistan, they're the once risking their lives. They live in some tents and they can hear slight sounds of bombs. That can't be fun.

I wish I could just bring my Peeta back home.

I'm not the only one missing Peeta. Prim misses him so much. She's so sad. Peeta's family misses him. Summer has started to forget about him now. Daniel and Julia had their baby. He's so cute, but he's already two months old, and Peeta hasn't seen him yet.

Peeta's mother has a really hard time. Usually I'm at the bakery, working and Mrs. Mellark and I are suppose to be working, but we just sit in the office hugging each other, crying.

Peeta's father takes care of the bakery as good as he can with help from Rye and Daniel. They've been helping much more lately, after they witnessed one of their mothers breakdowns followed by one from Mr. Mellark.

Mr. Mellark has been taking care of everyone so no one even bothered to ask him how he was feeling or anything and than he couldn't take it anymore and in just one moment of weakness he just let his emotions go.

Madge and Gale has been supporting me so much.

I think they're together. They haven't said anything to me, but I can sense that it's something there between them.

"Katniss what's this?" Annie shouts from the kitchen.

"Huh?" I ask, walking with Fisher into the kitchen.

Annie is holding an envelope.

"It was under the newspaper", she says.

"What is it? I didn't see it", I say, putting Fisher into his baby seat, which is already on the kitchen island.

"I think it's from Peeta", she says. "Just take a look at the handwriting".

I look at the handwriting. Yep. It's Peeta. He writes so beautifully.

"It is", I say and take the letter from Annie.

I open the letter and scum-read through it.

I lose my breath. Is it real? Is he lying to me?

"Katniss what is it?" Annie asks terrified.

I realize that I'm crying and that Annie thinks that something happened to Finnick.

"Peeta and Finnick's group, they ... they have permission to come home and visit for a week", I tell her. "They will be home tomorrow".

Annie loses her breath and snatch the paper out of my hands and read it.

"Oh my god", she mumbles. "Oh my god".

"I know", I say and snatch it back before I pull Annie into a hug, and whisper I her ear: "They're coming home".

I remember Peeta's family.

"Annie! Grab Fisher's seat, we have to get down to the bakery now", I say and run to the door.

Peeta is coming home. Finnick is coming home.

They're only going to be here for one week. But during this one week I know two big things that is going to happen. Fisher's baptism, and mine and Peeta's wedding.
