Lethal Lovers

47. Tears of laughter

Katniss's POV

I wake up the next morning feeling well rested despite my late night wanderings and the happiest I've been in a while. I don't think I ever realised how much I truly missed Prim until I got her back. I roll over on the my side and go to poke Peeta in the ribs to wake him up to find he is already up, "Typical!"

Shuffling to the edge of the bed I use the bed head to haul myself up before throwing on one of Peeta's tops and then my dressing gown draped over the top. Even with it gathering around my bump slightly it still falls almost to my knees. Guys clothing is strange, it fits the perfectly for them yet it's as long as a dress on girls. Ah well its comfy and that's good enough for me.

I leave the room and head down the stairs following the sound of chattering and laughter to find Prim in the kitchen trying to feed little Finn while Annie and Peeta look on. I lean against the door frame as I watch her wave around the spoon in the air trying to catch his attention with it but to no avail. Peeta is stood making pancakes at the stove and that's what is really catching his attention and I can't help but laugh, "Yeah I'd rather have that too little man but it seems like its... porridge for you." I say as I walk over peering over Prim's shoulder to see what she attempting to feed him."You see what you have to do with little Finn here is... Tickle him!" I jump to Finn's side tickling his sides sending him into fits of high pitched laughter that is so infectious you can't help but join in. "Now are you going to eat your porridge for Aunty Kat?"

"Na ah!" He can't talk properly yet but he sure knows how to tell us when he means no.

"Do I have to tickle you again?" I say wiggling my fingers as I get closer and closer to his sides going to tickle him and in the end I do, "Right that's it I'm going to get you!" I say tickling him once again. After a moment or so I stop tickling him and ask again, "So are you going to eat you porridge little man?" He looks up at me with his big blue eyes and gives a cheeky smirk before nodding and turning back to Prim with his mouth open. "And that ladies and gents is how you do it," I say mocking a little bow.

"Well we all know who his favourite is," Annie laughs, "We've been trying for fifteen minutes now and all we managed to do was get one spoonful in him and the rest all over his chair."
"Hey what can I say ... Aunty Kat has the magic touch," I say with a wink before kissing Finn on the top of his head. "Speaking of food what we having Peeta? I'm famished!"

"You'd think you were never fed Kat, " he teases.

"I may as well not be..." I say sticking my tongue out at him, "Please tell me you were like this An?"

"I was, although not as much as you, but I did start eating some crazy things ... I remember one night having peanut butter and bacon on pancakes and then a plum pancake sauce."

"Oh I'm not like that... I just want to eat allll of the time, this little one is going to be a chunk before she's even out!"I say tucking in to the pile of pancakes Peeta has put in front of me.

"You don't say, " Annie chuckles.

"How are you this morning little duck?" I mumble out trough a mouthful of food.

"Good. I think I'm going to head up to the hospital and see the girls one last time, I owe them my life really so I owe them that much at least. Then I can transfer up to 12 and I can work at the hospital there. Maybe it's time for a change in scenery," she says with a smile.

"I'd love that. Has anyone seen Haymitch or Effie this morning?" I ask and both Annie and Peeta snicker.

"Let's just say I don't expect them to be up any time soon.." Peeta smirks.

"What's that meant to mean? What did I miss?"

"Well let's just say we left them canoodling on the couch together last night... I think it's definitely safe to say they're not hiding it anymore..." Annie says.

"They didn't hide it very well in the first place... We had it guessed from the start didn't we Peeta?"

"Loosen your corset Effie, have a drink" Peeta imitates and we shriek in laughter.

"I bet that was a bit more than slightly euphemistic don't you think?" Annie manages to say between the laughter but it is made even worse by Effie and Haymitch appearing at the door of the kitchen together and we laugh even harder. Peeta ending up curled over in laughter, while me and Annie sit opposite each other practically in tears.

"What up with them three?" Haymitch asks as he walks over and picks up a plate of pancakes.

Prim just rolls her eyes and smiles as she replys, "You don't even want to know Haymitch... Believe me!"
