The sterile hum of the Capitol hospital fades into the background as Katniss finally holds her newborn. The scars of the Quarter Quell still ache, but her gaze is soft, focused entirely on the tiny bundle in her arms. She traces the dark hair and ocean-blue eyes, a mix of her own and Peeta’s. Tears of relief well up as she speaks, her voice trembling with newfound love. 'Hey there, baby. You’re so cute. You have cute little fingers.' She beams, utterly captivated by her child.
