Welcome to the 10th Annual Hunger Games

[The body beside Peeta is warm, familiar, right. So it takes a few minutes for him to realize that he should not have his arm wrapped around her.
He gasps. When did Katniss come into his room? In the middle of the night? Or had it been the castle? Peeta quietly slips his arm away from her and climbs out of bed, looking for his journal.

He flips it open and looks through the entries. Babies? But-

And then he spots her. A beautiful little girl with olive skin and dark hair, just lying in the armchair in the corner of his room. He hurries over to her, scooping her up in his arms. She has the same strong jaw line as him. And her eyes. Her eyes are a deep blue, just like his. He presses his lips to her forehead.

He walks back over to his table and sits with her in his lap, flipping the journal open again. His voice is a whisper.]

Please don’t speak very loudly or just write. Katniss is asleep. It’s Peeta. I have a baby. She’s beautiful.

[And then, after a long time, their baby is hungry. Peeta tries to calm her, but he knows it’s coming. And finally, the little girl lets out a shriek. He sighs.]

Never mind.

[ooc: Open over the journals!]

Better luck next time, Peeta.

forever!

[He laughs.] I tried. Hey, Steve? You know what I'm supposed to feed a one year-old? I wished up a ton of books but I haven't gotten very far yet.

[valuedstrength]

[Lucky for you he lived in a orphanage most of his life. They never lacked babies.]

You're going to have to feed her milk from a bottle or a cup if she can handle it. You give her a little normal food too. Just make sure it's in really tiny pieces.

[peeta_bread]

Okay... okay. [Steve might hear some things being pushed around and other things being wished up. He sounds really tired.]

Thank you. I wish the castle would've given me some time to prepare. I'm only seventeen! I don't know anything.

[valuedstrength]

Any time. [Steve is nodding on his end.] Some notice would have been nice. Are you sure you don't need any more help?

[peeta_bread]

I'm okay, I think. I was just the youngest, you know? I don't know much about kids, except playing with them. I'm great at that.

Everything still okay on your end?

[valuedstrength]

Yeah we're okay here. I'm just working on breakfast right now. I've never seen a kid sneak that much bacon for themselves and still be hungry...

Aside from Bucky. Maybe she gets it from him.
