Yeah, sorry, didn't mean to imply there were no in-between stages, just . . . yeah, it's not good they had kids. Doesn't help that I read Graceling right after, which handles a heroine who goes "I don't want to marry or have kids" with a hero who goes "How do you feel about casual sex with careful use of birth control?"
Thinking about it, I'm wondering if maybe Peeta wanted kids to prove something to himself; to show that hey, he could raise kids in a home with loving parents like he always dreamed of growing up in, a desire to cling to normalcy after all the crazy they went through. And the mess his brain was left in after all that mental torture didn't realize it's a bad idea for two people with severe PTSD to have kids.
