My family is a ton of manipulative bastards who begged me to stay for a bit longer.

Then a bit longer turned into the day of my due date.

"Okay, I want to go home." I say.

"You're on bed rest." Peeta puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah, well that fucking sucks. I'm not going to sit the hell down and stay down."

"Katniss." He says.

They said if my water doesn't break tonight, they'll induce me tomorrow morning.

"You need to rest." Peeta says.

I've been having contractions but they're about an hour apart. Mary came here and Johanna, Madge, Annie, and Finnick are here waiting for my water to break and al the Mellark's.

"Don't tell me what to do." I shove his hand off of my shoulder and get up.

"Katniss!" Mom scolds.

I start picking up Elliot's toys that he's not playing with and putting them in his diaper bag, waving off every attempt anyone makes to get me to sit down.

"Katniss Joy if you go into early labor-" Dad begins.

"I won't, okay! I know what I'm doing! I've done it before!"

Just then, I feel a sharp pain, and then water comes rushing down my legs.

"See?" Peeta says, frustrated.

"I'm supposed to go into labor today!" I snap. A contraction hits full force and I grab the wall.

"We need to go." Mom says frantically.

….a….

"She's beautiful." Peeta whispers, kissing my forehead, and then Riley's, who's name he agreed on.

The nurse gave us fifteen minutes alone. When she comes back in one minute, she's bring Peeta and I's parents and our siblings and son and Matt.

Riley has a button nose, Peeta's, my lips and eye shape, but Peeta's eye's and hair. She has my ears.

"I know this isn't the time." Peeta whispers. "But I want you to know that I came after you. I tried to find you but I couldn't. I am never leaving again. I know you've heard that before, but it's true. I'm not going anywhere. I love you." He kisses me right on the lips. This is the first time since I came back about two months ago that I let him.

"I love you, too." I whisper. This is also the first time that I've said I loved him too, even though I technically said it the first day.

I hear footsteps enter the room, and then our family walks in. Even Elliot is being quiet. Peeta hands me Riley and takes Elliot and whispers to him about needing to be quiet and how this is his new baby sister. He stares at her and then very gently, he holds her hand. Mom gets our attention, and me, Peeta and Elliot smile, and then she takes a picture. She shows it to me and I start tearing up.

That is definitely going on the wall.

Mrs. Mellark holds her first, and she starts crying. "She's so gorgeous."

Then Mom holds her and has the same reaction, and then Mr. Mellark takes her, and then Dad, and then she's passed around for everyone.

She's passed back to me then, because she starts getting fussy.

I'm so glad I have Peeta here this time to help me.

Okay I'm letting you guys know I'm up north for the entire summer to be with my Aunt and Grandpa and cousin. I'm going to work on updating more often. I'm sorry this is so short and I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

If you want a picture of Riley then feel free to kik me.
