Cg! Haymitch with baby! Katniss oneshot

Note: requested by @snoopymydear , this is my first oneshot in a while so it might be a bit occ or have spelling mistakes. (so sorry in advance) Anyways baby Katniss is actually the cutest.
tw/tags: cg!haymitch and little!katniss , soft! Haymitch, Katniss being fuzzy , bottle feeding , haymitch horrible singing.
Haymitch was laying on his bed staring at the ceiling. It had been a few hours now since he put Katniss to bed. Hes been trying to catch some sleep ever since then but it just wasn’t working.
He finally managed to close his eyes for what he thought was only a few minutes before a he heard soft whine coming from Katniss’ room. He instantly sat up on his bed, groaning softly as the room started to spin from getting up so fast.
Once he finally came back to his senses he got up, walking torward Katniss’ room. The floor creaked as he walked down the narrow hallways of his hom. When he open the door he couldn’t help but frown at the image before him. Katniss was sitting up on her bed staring at the floor, there was a few tears streaming down her face. Her stuffed animal was also on the floor, Haymitch guess that it must had fallen from all the tossing and turning.
He walk slowly into the room as to not scared the her further. When Katniss finally notice he was there, she wiped away the tears that were falling down her face.
Haymitch sat on the edge of the bed, it creaked and dip in protest to the extra weight. “Can’t sleep either, huh kid?” He asked, his voice soft. Katniss nodded, quickly rubbing her eyes to wipe away the tears threatening to fall again.
Haymitch watched her carefully, trying to formulate a plan on how to make her feel better. He smooth a hairs that were sticking to Katniss forehead behind her ear before messing up the rest of it. Katniss letting a small whine at the action.
“How about we get you a bottle sweetheart” He brought up. Katniss thought about it for a second, her brain feeling fuzzier than normal. She nodded, making small grabby hands to get him to pick her up.
Haymitch quickly caught up and picked her up, setting her on his waist. She instantly cuddle up to him, resting her head on his shoulder.
Haymitch made his way downstairs, making sure to be careful not to step on any lose toys or junk he had lying around. Once they reach the kitchen, he set her on the kitchen counter.
Katniss silently watched Haymitch as he moved around the kitchen. Getting the milk out the fridge and mixing it with sugar and something that smell like vanilla.
When haymitch finally finish putting the milk on the bottle (after a bit of a hassle) , he noticed Katniss mindlessly sucking on her thumb. He quickly started to looked for a pacifier. He found a brown one in one of the cabinets. He had it just incase Peeta slipped. He figured it would worked and decided to washed.
Once it was all clean he made his way back to Katniss, carefully removing the thumb out of her mouth and exchanging it for the pacifier. She immediately started to suck on it, already feeling better.
Haymitch picked her up again, as well as the bottle and made his way upstairs. He place Katniss on the bed before sitting next to her.
“Do you want me to help?” he asked as he offered her the bottle. She nodded, already starting to feel sleepy. Haymitch help her sit on his lap, making sure she was comfortable. Once he was sure she was, he removed the pacifier and offered the bottle again. She happily accepted it.
Once Katniss finished all the milk, Haymitch set the bottle on the night stand. He gave her the pacifier back before setting her on the bed. He help her get all settled in, making sure her stuffed animal, that had fallen, was tucked in as well.
He was about to get up to turn of the light when he heard a whine come from Katniss. She looked like she was about to start crying again. “Okay sweetheart, I won’t go anywhere” He said sitting back down.
“you need to rest, so how about I sing you something. It use to always help me when I couldn’t sleep” He offered. Katniss sleepily nods as she lets out a yawn. Haymitch clears his throat with a chuckle before starting to sing.
His singing was a bit rough, and he certainly wasn’t the best but Katniss didn’t mind. She listen to him not recognize the song. The words started to melt together as her eyelids started to feel heavy. Sleep wrapping his sweet arms around her.
She finally fell asleep by the end of Haymitch song. He got up slowly as to not wake her up. He stood watching her for a second, a small smile creeping on his face.
“Night sweetheart” He said softly as he turned off the lights.

Out in the Meadow
Summary: Katniss goes missing, Haymitch helps find her
im not sure when this is set, probably between the hunger games and catching fire
The door to his house slams open, sending dust pillowing through the air and a frantic Peeta moving almost as quickly. He looks down the halls, peeking into doors that Haymitch really should keep locked at this point and rooting around through Haymitch's stuff. Startled from his previous activities, also known as staring endlessly out of the window and willing himself not to think, Haymitch comes out with his hands raised.
"Woah there, sunshine.. what's with the panic? I don't think I gave you permission to go through my.. personal possessions." He drawls out as he meanders to one of the doors to close it once again. It's a guest room, hardly anyone has stayed in there. Maybe Katniss a few times and Peeta too when neither of them could sleep in an empty home. And the cat Buttercup who comes around on occasion. He doesn't mind their presence. Sometimes he'll wake up from a stupor and find the cat rumbling in his lap like an electric fence going into overdrive. It can be soothing at times, even if it does leave bright orangey fur all over his clothes and occasionally nip at his ankles if he doesn't drop them a scrap or two while he's cooking.
"Is she here?" Peeta asks, his head whipping back to look at Haymitch. His tone lights a spark inside Haymitch, a bubbling mix of dread and worry making itself known.
"What do you mean 'is she here'?" He responds in a forcibly calm voice, his brows furrowing as he sets down a stack of papers. What's on the papers and their order no longer matters, not when his boy is looking so distraught.
"Katniss." Peeta says, opening his mouth to continue before he's cut off by Haymitch.
"Yeah, obviously you're talking about Katniss. I didn't think there was some other girl you'd be looking for." He huffs, "What's going on?"
"She was with me at the bakery, mucking around with a handful of dough, and I turned my back for a minute to put something in the oven but when I turned back she was gone! I didn't even hear her leave! I went to run after her but-" he runs his hands through his flour dusted hair. He's clearly been messing with it plenty over this, Haymitch can't blame him. Those skills Katniss has from hunting also make her pretty good at running off.
"She's missing?" Haymitch clarifies as he looks away from Peeta, his gaze turning to look towards the doorway. He's tempted to run out right now, to turn the whole district upside down and find the little one before she can get into trouble. Or, more likely, trouble would find her. He pinches the bridge of his nose and forces himself to breathe, the lungful coming out in a heavy sigh. "You check her house? Your house? The Hob?"
"Yeah- I looked everywhere I could think of. Her mother hadn't seen her and neither did Gale, you were my next stop."
"As far as I know, she ain't here." Haymitch says as he walks up to Peeta.
"What if someone got her? What if-" Peeta is once again cut off, this time by Haymitch pressing his finger to his lips. Physically stopping the words, and the panic, from bubbling out.
"She's fine. She's a smart kid, even when she's.. y'know." He makes a vague gesture, they're not really sure what to call her little side, and lowers his hand from Peeta's face. "Did anyone have an idea of where she might be?"
"Gale thought she might be in the woods- what if she's in the woods? There's dogs out there- hungry animals and- and toxic plants and-" The finger returns to his lips, a little more forcefully this time. Not harming him but enough to get a message across.
"She's *fine,* sunspot. We've just gotta find her." Haymitch gives him a look before letting his hands slip down to Peeta's shoulders, holding him gently. "Let's check the fences. I'll ask Gale to check the woods, he'll know them better than either of us. We'll check the meadow. Okay? Your girl is fine."
Peeta swallows more worries and nods, taking reassurance in the firm way Haymitch talks about it. There's no room for questioning, no room for his worries to worm their way in. Haymitch sighs softly and pulls Peeya into a hug. As soon as he feels the familiar pressure and soothing circles of Haymitch's hand on his back, his tension starts to unwind. It's not enough to make him slip into his own headspace, but it feels nice. "She's fine, kiddo. You know her. She's probably climbing a tree or collecting rocks for you, or making you a nice mud hat. Get ready to wash your hair, she's gonna expect you to wear it." Haymitch murmurs, giving his boy one more squeeze before releasing him. "Now let's go find her."
-
After some further reassurance, Peeta splits off to find Gale and Haymitch starts to make his way towards the meadow. It's a tight fit, slipping under the fence like he used to when he was young, but he makes it through. The tall grass catches the golden light of afternoon, flowing in the breeze like shimmering water, peppered with bright flowers. He really should wait for Peeta but he's starting to grow more worried the longer this goes on. Katniss is known for getting into trouble or for trouble finding her. What if she did stumble into something?
Now isn't the time for worry. Katniss, his little lamb, always finds a way to slip through whatever gate is holding her. She'll be okay.
He follows a vague path of tamped down grass, a likely path that Katniss either carved or followed, and finds himself approaching a large knobbly tree. And that's where he finds her, curled up in a patch of sun like the cat she begrudgingly enjoys. Her hair isn't tied back, all splayed out on the ground like her own little roots, her body swimming in a worn flannel that she definitely nicked from someone else's closet, her round eyes calmly shut. And, most noticeably, her hands and lips are stained with sticky mulberry juice.
He stands there for a moment, hands on his hips, and simply looks at her. She looks so peaceful here. Her skin flushed with sleep, no furrow in her brows and no tenseness in her frame. Just a little one taking a nap in the sun after eating their fill of berries. A faint smile comes over Haymitch's weathered face, all the panic fading away as quickly as it made itself known, and he takes the last few steps to her. He crouches down and slips his arms under hers, readying himself to scoop her up.
She stirs, her little hands balling into fists and her eyes fluttering open as she's lifted off of the dirt.
"We've been looking for you, sweetheart." Haymitch says as he lifts her to his hip, guiding her legs to wrap around him before slipping one arm beneath her bum and the other around her upper body to keep her steady. "Gave Peeta a heart attack."
He gets a little whine in response, the little lamb still waking up from what was evidently a deep slumber. She drowsily wraps her arms around his neck and nestles her face against his shoulder, absently wiping the dried juice from her chin onto him.
"Rude." He grunts, patting her back a few times as he starts to wander back to the fence. "I'm not a napkin y'know."
Katniss doesn't seem to care. In truth, Haymitch doesn't either. Well, he cares a little. He'll have to wash it sooner so the stain doesn't set but there are much worse things in this world than a little laundry. Maybe he'll have Katniss do it for him.
"You have a nice nap, kiddo?" He asks, not really expecting a response.
"mhm.." the smile returns to his lips at her sleepy response.
"You eat some tasty berries?" He gets another hum in response, Katniss's head rubbing against his shoulder as she nods a few times. "That's good. Glad you enjoyed yourself."
"'s bread ready?"
Haymitch pulls back slightly, looking at Katniss's mostly asleep face, with grass marks pressed into one side from where she slept, and gives her a playfully astounded look. "Is that what the mulberries were for?"
She nods again, squeezing Haymitch's shirt on and off, like a cat kneading a blanket. "then I.. I eated them." She whispers.
"I can tell." He says with a snort, crouching down once again to guide Katniss under the gap in the fence before following after her himself. He offers to pick her back up, and she gladly accepts it.
-
Peeta is waiting at one of the few tables outside of the bakery with a cup of tea, his hands clutching the mug like it's been trying to escape. Whether or not it was, he lets go of it and stands up the moment he sees Haymitch. Katniss reaches out with one arm, the other still wrapped around Haymitch, and Peeta takes her hand gently. She's still sticky. Very sticky.
"Where was she?" Peeta asks as he reaches up to pick bits of grass and leaves from her hair.
"The meadow. Seems like she wanted to bring back some berries for you and got.. sidetracked." He doesn't need to say much beyond that, she looks more than happy with herself. "Everything alright here?"
"Yeah. Gale did a sweep of their usual spots then went home for dinner. I.. I came back here. To wait." He looks up at Katniss and lets out a small laugh, finally sounding relieved. "You can't be doing that, Katniss."
She nods half heartedly, keeping her usual sass even though she's little, and lets herself drop from Haymitch's arms. Then she toddles over to Peeta and clings to him instead. "'s bread ready? Can I haves some p'ease?"
"I- Sure, Katniss. Let's get you some bread." He sighs, "Would you like some too, Haymitch?"
"Of course." Haymitch gestures towards the bakery, "lead the way."

As an SLP in training (aka a giant language development nerd), here’s my masterlist of child development standards to help with agere!
Disclaimer: I am not a professional. I just started taking classes for my major this year. This info will not be 100% correct
🍼1 year🍼
First word at ~12 months
Most sounds will be p, b, h, m, n, w (errors can occur up to age 3)
Common words are nouns and verbs
No plurals or past tense
Common errors are reduplication (wawa for water, baba for bottle), gliding (putting w and y instead of l and r (wead for read)), cluster reduction (less consonants in a row (back for black)), final consonant deletion (ba for ball) AND MORE in the picture below. Babies make basically every error possible
🧸2 years 🧸
Two word sentences mainly
Add sounds k, g, t, d, f, y (errors up to age 4)
Learning -ing, -s, past tense
Adding words like “is,” “on,” “a,” “the” “will”
Like negatives (no, not, don’t)
Still have a chance to produce all phonological process errors
🧃3 years🧃
~2-4 words average
Sounds r, l, s, z, ch, sh (errors up to ~ age 7)
All vowels developed
Should know many morphemes (-s, -ed, etc) with occasional errors
Multiple clauses! Two simple sentences can combine with “and,” if,” “because,” etc
No more reduplication :(
🪁4 years🪁
~4-5 words average
Sounds j, v, th (basically all of them by now, but errors still occur with most)
Beginning to sound like adult speech
No more cluster reduction or deleting syllables in a word (di-saur for dinosaur)
So what if you need a sound you don’t have?
There are a couple common rules that you can follow to substitute sounds. (Or just delete them. That’s good too. Especially if there are two consonants touching)
Voice, place, manner. All consonants have these three characteristics. Usually, it’s the manner that’s tricky for kids. Stops (p,b,t,d,k,g) nasals (m, n, ng), and glides (w, y) are mostly developed first, while affricates (j, ch), fricatives (f, v, s, z, sh, zh, th), and liquids (l, r) are later.
As a rule of thumb, trade out a sound that’s made at the same location. For example, if you were going to say “vase,” you’d say “base,” because both v and b are produced with the lips. “Then” becomes “den”, because the stop that’s produced closest to the teeth is d.
Secondly, play attention to whether a sound is voiced. This means that your vocal cords are vibrating when you put your hand on your throat. If they are, choose a sound that is also voiced. Many sounds have a voiced and voiceless pair (b and p, t and d, etc). They’re produced in the exact same place. The only difference is whether you’re using your vocal cords.
Finally, r and l are always replaced by w and y. This is called gliding and it’s my favorite thing ever.

The summer storms are here, little one. The thunder and rain will probably last all night. I know the storms scare you. But we'll make the best of it. Oh! Did you hear it? Shhh, my darling, it's alright. We're safe here in the cottage, I promise. Yes, you can sleep with me tonight. We'll snuggle close, with your stuffies too, of course. And then I can read you stories until you fall asleep. No, I won't leave you alone. Never, ever. No matter how big the storm, I'll always be right here by your side. There's nothing to be embarrassed about either. Mama isn't upset that you want to be close to her. It's okay to have fears. I promise, everything is going to be just fine...

Simon Bellamy agere
very self indulgent cus it's my birthday :]
📹 very quiet or nonverbal when regressed. part of it is because he's afraid of appearing needy, part of it is simply because words are hard. he prefers to point at things or look between what he wants and whoever is keeping an eye on him, waiting expectantly for them to understand.
📷 while he is usually quiet he has the sweetest laugh. all giggly and excited and horribly contagious. it doesn't come out often but when it does, everyone notices.
🌌 he isn't the best at nonstructured play. He much prefers having some structure or pattern to follow. Things like coloring sheets, stim toys (especially softer ones that don't make noise, maybe a small music box or shaker), and simple roleplaying games are his favorite. he loves to play doctor, space captain/astronauts, and any kind of fantasy adventure (going outside, collecting sticks and stones, making potions, etc.)
📹 if he is feeling tired or particularly asocial he prefers parallel play or floor time. having time to just lay down on the floor, with a blanket beneath or not, helps him regulate. sometimes he will pull his cg down with him and just mess with their hair or clothing.
📷 he prefers live action television to cartoons, and adult oriented media to childrens. he does like some superhero cartoons or the hobbit animated series but usually he will just watch what he usually would when not regressed. any kind of nature documentary will put him out like a light, especially if it's narrated by someone with a nice voice.
🌌 he will be entertained for hours if he's given a camera. you'll end up with a million pictures of neat bugs, the sky, birds, trees, and of course, whoever is around him. if the camera doesn't work, he will just mess with the buttons and shutter. it's broken anyway, he won't damage it any more by clicking to his heart's content or pulling the shutter open with his fingers.
📹 he's not exactly cuddly because he is very particular about who, how, what, and where he's touched. that being said, he likes to lay on people. He will clamber up into someone's lap and just.. sit there. or he will treat someone like a pillow/mattress.
📷 the rest of the ASBO 5 don't really know about his regression but they've all been around him when he is small. they assume he's just having a rough day or that he's simply *like that* sometimes. there have been a few conversations about it, sure, but there isn't much to discuss. maybe pointing out that simon has been particularly 'starey' or giggly.
🌌 kelly is the best at understanding him. curtis and alisha are pretty good at it too but kelly always knows what to ask, even if she does have a bit of a short temper. nathan is.. well, he's nathan. he reels back on the insults and name calling because he once made simon cry and now it feels too awkward, and kelly just about pummeled him. ("All I did was call him a perv! He is! Then he jus' stood there, staring at me all wide eyes and sh-te, and made this weird hiccupy noise like a cat 'boutta be sick!" "you made him cry, you w-nker! apologize to 'im!")

thinkin abt babyre … 💭
🍼 being bottle fed in a carer’s lap, slowly falling asleep while being rocked and hushed
🧸 soft toys and games like plush blocks, sensory pads, mobiles, tummy time, rattles, peekaboo, silly songs and lullabies
⭐️ being put down for a nap in a crib or in a bed with rails, getting back / belly pats and rubs
🍼 crying when carer isn’t around, always wanting to be picked up and held / carried
🧸 nonverbal cues (including crying) to communicate wants
⭐️ tickles, snuggles, and lots of laying down because sitting up isn’t a favorite just yet
🍼 being called names like “baby”, “honey”, “poor thing”, “little one”, “cutie”
🧸 onesies, booties, mittens, binkies, and bottles galore <3

Hiii! Do you have any little Peeta headcanons?:3
Peeta Mellark
🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼����🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
I hope this is alright! I've never written anything with Peeta before :]
☀️ He loves to be outside; all weather, any weather. If it's rainy he likes to jump in puddles and swish his feet through the grass. If it's sunny he likes to run around and bring flowers or stones or bugs back to proudly show his cg. If it's snowy he likes to make little snowmen or shapes with his hands or footprints.
🎨 He prefers to have his prosthetic off when regressed, which means more floor time and assisted motions (he's able to maneuver well when he's big but having someone help him makes him feel smaller). He used to keep it on, especially around Katniss, for a variety of reasons. After some particularly rough periods of phantom pain while small and learning that Katniss could lift him (she's deceptively strong for her size) he started wearing it less.
🥖 He likes to sit on the countertop while people are working in the kitchen. It keeps him out of foot traffic and gives him a good view of it all. He'll help crack eggs or mix or pour, and he loves holding things for people or being given small tasks. Katniss likes to have him knead dough (or rather prod and mash it since kneading can be hard with a baby brain). Haymitch treats him like a qualified sous chef, pretending to give him nonsense tasks to make him laugh; 'take the claws off of these crabapples please, they keep pinching me', 'butter the milk', or whatever fancy words he can remember from the capitol.
☀️ Any kind of art will keep him distracted for ages. He prefers painting, especially with his hands or fingers. But he also likes crafting things from salt dough or clay and drawing. Anything with colors will keep him happy for a long time.
🎨 He's either very high energy and bubbly or the sleepiest clingiest little guy. He has a stuffed bear that Katniss made for him out of some clothes that had gotten too many holes to be worn. It smells like both of them and is very well loved, all soft and fuzzy, it's a major comfort item for him. He likes to bring it out to whoever is keeping an eye on him and cling to their side.
🥖 His main caregivers are Katniss and Haymitch but if there are other people around they will fawn over him. He's very polite and sweet, always using 'please' and 'thank you' even when utterly unnecessary. Haymitch often has Effie or Katniss come around if he doesn't trust himself to take good care of his kiddo, and Effie loves having a little one to pamper and take care of. If Effie ever takes sole care of him she lets him do *anything.* Visit the beach? Of course, we're taking the next train out of twelve. Wear her fancy clothes? Sure, let's find some in your favorite colors.

Caregiver Logan Howlett Stimboard!!
🐾 🍳 🌲 | 🐾 🍳 🌲 | 🐾 🍳 🌲
🌼 media: x-men
🐝 age appropriate? depends! it's rated PG13 due to violence but is quite a fun watch for most ages regardless. check any warnings and remember, it's always okay to turn something off if it isn't for you! <3
🍯 rqd by: @vampire-bat-baby
🌻 note: i love wolverine so much and anybody who requests him has amazing taste!!
wolverine head canons because i love him:
his go to nickname for you is 100% kid. even before he became your caregiver, he's whipping that name out on the regular
playing with and interacting with wild animals whenever it's possible. talking to a deer through the gates of the estate, petting a stray dog in a parking lot, making noises at cows as you drive past them
he does that thing where he stands in front of your seat and pats his leg and you have to raise your leg to rest it on his thigh so he can tie your shoes instead of kneeling down
learning everything you can about wolverines and logan has to tell you whether he shares certain traits with them, like an interview hehe
he diys your first ever paci because he refuses to ask for help and the beads randomly fall off until he eventually gives in and talks to the others about getting one
eggs are a go to food option when he's cooking - he makes a mean omelette
pointing at the hyenas at the zoo and going "papa!" and he just softly responds "not quite, kid."
