"Chelsey, Finn!" I called out to my children. Chelsey is the female version of Finnick but she does have a few of my personality traits my son Finn on the other hand looks like a mix of me and Finnick. They are both twins so they are both five years old they come racing down the stairs to where Finnick and I are in which is the living room.
"Yes mommy?" the both answer with obvious curiosity.
"We are all going to district twelve" I said
"Why?" they both say
"It's for a party with a few friends of ours" said Finnick
"O yay, when are we leaving?" said Chelsey
"Tomorrow morning so get started packing" said Finnick. They both stormed up the stairs to get ready
"Well we should probably go help them" said Finnick with a chuckle we both climbed the stairs hand in hand with a smile plastered on our faces with obvious excitement for tomorrow.
"Gale, Serena, James come down here will you? I have something to tell all of you plus it's time for breakfast!" Serena my beautiful five year old who has blonde hair like me but has Gale's stormy grey eyes and olive-toned skin comes down first followed by her twin brother James who has Gale's black hair but has my blue eyes and pale skin. Then the most handsome man I've ever seen walks in my children both say
"YES MOMMY!"
"Yea babe" said Gale
"We are all going to district twelve for a party!" I said we very obvious excitement in my voice to finally go home for at least once more.
"O, ok when are we leavin mommy" said Serena
"were leaving tomorrow morning so we can get there at least tomorrow night, so finish eating so you can get ready and pack" Serena and James both wolfed down their food and dashed upstairs to get ready. Gale was eyeing me the whole time
"Who's party?" he asked
"I'll tell you when we get there" I smiled at him he was frowning at me then he shrugged finished eating and we both went upstairs to pack in the back of my mind I was hoping he won't hate me for bringing him to Katniss's' house but I was also hoping he got over her and won't fall for her again.
I sighed as I watched my children eat breakfast "Blake, Rachel we are going to district twelve for a party with a few of my old friends okay" they looked at me with excited violet and blue eyes
"Ok mama when are we leavin?" asked Blake
"Tonight so get ready and pack everything you need"
"Ok mama" they both answered. I watched them run up the stairs laughing I just chuckled thinking how I raised these two kids on my own sure I adopted them but that doesn't make me love them any less even though I didn't give birth to them they both act exactly like me Blake with five years old has blonde hair tan skin and blue eyes Rachel on the other hand has red hair pale skin and violet eyes. I walked upstairs thinking about how brainless and her family are probably running around the house franticly trying to get everything ready for the party.
"NO! Not there Peeta over here!" I'm running around everywhere in my house trying to get things ready for the party that's going to happen. I invited all my friends that help in the rebellion so Finnick, Annie, Johanna, and Madge after I found her in the square she surprised me because I thought she was dead well anyway she told me she was just visiting and that she lives in district two so I just sent her an invite too.
"Mommy, what's going on?" Asked my five year old Shelby she has black hair like mine but it's curly like Peeta's she also has my olive-toned skin and my stormy grey eyes her twin brother on the other hand has Peeta's blonde hair but has my straight hair and he has Peeta's icy blue eyes and pale skin.
"Oh honey what are you doing up this late?" I asked her
"I think I head you yelling at daddy and I want to know what wrong" she said.
I kissed her on the forehead and said "I'm getting things ready for the par-"I was cut off by the sound of knocking at the door "hmm… I wonder who that could be" I said as I got up to get the door. When I opened the door I see Johanna Mason with two children who look nothing alike and with suitcases
"Hey brainless, are you going to let me or just let and my kids stand out here." She said
"Ummmm….. No, come in come in I just didn't expect anyone till tomorrow" I said.
"Well we left around 1:00 P.m and now we're here brainless" said Johanna smirking
I bent down and said "Aww well who are these little cuties?"
"This is Rachel and Blake"
"They look nothing like you" I said
"Well duh brainless they are adopted" she said rolling her eyes
"Well I'm sssooorrryyy!" I said my response dripping with sarcasm. Peeta walked in
"O, hey Johanna I thought you would be here tomorrow and Aww I didn't know you had kids!" he said with a grin reaching from ear to ear
"Well I'm here now and no I adopted them Peeta."
"O, so you didn't get married" he asked. Johanna looked down at the floor she looked like she was crying
She sniffled "Ah, no Peeta I didn't get married well were really tried can you guys show us the guest room." Peeta smiled sadly
"Yea just follow me" I watched them walk down the hall smiling sadly thinking how Johanna never got a husband.
"Mommy mommy wake up!"I hear two kids saying I open my eyes and I see two children with sea green eyes looking straight at me "mommy, daddy said to wake up!" they start to jump on the bed at least I think its them it may be from the train.
"Ok guys I'm up I'm up! Where's daddy?" I asked
"He is eating breakfast" said Chelsey.
"Well why aren't you guys eating?" I asked
"We are eating mommy daddy said to wake you!" Finny said I smiled and go out of bed brushed my teeth. I walked into the breakfast compartment with Chelsey and Finny each have a hand in mine when I look up I see my very handsome husband Finnick eating some pancakes. Chelsey and Finn let go of my hands and run over to the table I went to sit next to Finnick he drank some orange juice and looked up and kissed my temple.
"EWWW!" screamed my little Chelsey and Finn Finnick just chuckled I smiled we ate in silence. After we were all done Finnick stood up and said
"We're almost in district twelve so we will be there in about 20 minutes so we should shower and get ready to get off the train!" Chelsey and Finn jumped out of their seats and ran to their rooms Finnick offered me his hand I took and we walked back to our room hand in hand ready to see our friends who haven't seen in almost ten years.
I wake up and look over at a sleeping Gale wondering if within the next hour I might lose everything I hold dear.
When I wake up I see a worried Madge with glassy eyes as soon as she got up she ran into the bathroom and after a few seconds I heard crying. What did I do wrong I at least think I didn't do anything wrong. I really hope she alright her, James, and Serena are all the things I hold dear in this world. I swing my legs off the side of the bed and get up to stretch the second I look up I see Madge her eyes are all puffy and red. "Madge, baby what's wrong?" I asked
"Nothing, honey let's just go wake up the kids and have breakfast ok?" she asks me
"Ok if you say so." We both walked out the door went into the kids room find that they weren't there Madge stated freaking out I calmed her down and told her maybe they are in the breakfast compartment. So I walked with her hand in hand and when we walked into the breakfast compartment they were James, and Serena eating away like crazy I looked at Madge she had what looked like a fake smile on her face we all sat down and ate in silence. After I was finished eating I stood up and said "we're going to be in district twelve in about an hour or so come on and get showered dressed and get your suitcases ready to get off the train."
"Ok, daddy." Said both my children I smiled at them and offered Madge my hand she looked at it very sadly and took it. I wonder what's going through my beautiful wife's head right now hopeful I didn't do anything wrong.
"WAIT, MOMMY DADDY STOP WALKING SO FAST!" yelled Chelsey and Finn they were running behind us Annie and I are very excited to get to district twelve's victor village sure they are only three victors in all of district twelve but two of those three victors are our friends that we haven't seen in over ten years so we are pretty excited.
"Hurry up kids! We're almost there!" Annie yelled I could see Peeta and Katniss's house it was like a block away so we let Finn and Chelsey catch up and catch their breath. We started walking to the Mellark's house. We walked into the house front yard they had these beautiful yellow roses in the front I think they are called primroses but they make the house look very homey. We walked up the stairs stood in front of the oak door. "Well go ahead Finnick knock on the door" Annie told me I reached my hand out to knock on the door when it suddenly swings open and there standing in the door frame is Peeta Mellark the boys' very life who I had saved back in the arena.
"Oh, hey Finnick, Annie come in come in!" he said I could see him out the corner of my eye as we walked in his mouth fell open "OH MY GOODNESS! I knew Annie was pregnant but I didn't know it was going to be twins!" Katniss then walks in.
"What's wro- OH Finnick, Annie hi I've missed you both so much. AH, I see what Peeta's yelling about. She says smirking at him.
"Yes we've miss you both so much. Do you guy have any kids?" Annie asked
"Yea we do Shelby, and Adam." Replied Katniss with a smile on her face and a distant look in her eyes
"Well are these 'children" I said smirking at Katniss she was scowling at me
"Well right now they are sleeping so please try not to wake them Finnick." She had that very famous scowl on her face as she told me this, but when Peeta came and hugged her she smiled.
"So are we the first ones here?" Annie asked Katniss and Peeta shook their heads. "Well who got here first?" she asked
"Johanna and her kids got here first." Said Peeta
"JOHANNA HAD KIDS!" me and Annie screamed I could see Johanna making her way downstairs
"Well, well, well speaking of the devil!" I said loud enough so Johanna could hear me she looked up and scowled at me. She was never a morning person but then she looked over at Annie and smiled a genuine smile they ran up to each other and hugged each other.
"I didn't know you kids Johanna! Where are they? Who did you marry?" Johanna looked down at her feet before answering
"Ummmm… I'm not married but I didn't give birth to my kids either." I looked at Annie who very clearly had a confused look on her face probably the same look I have on my own face. "I adopted them but I love them as if I was their birth mother!" I looked at her and smiled a sad smile towards her Annie did the same. She trudged upstairs muttering to herself.
"Well I'll show you guys to your room so you can get situated." Peeta said with a smile on his face we followed him to the room and thanked him and closed the door.
I opened the taxi door and got out I closed my eyes taking a deep breath I opened them again the Hawthorne's are in district twelve "Gale can you get the bags? While I get the kids and go to the door."
"Yea, sure babe." When we were in the taxi and Gale saw that were heading to the victor village his eyes widened but thank God that he was not mad at me for not telling him we were going to Katniss's party.
I walked up to the door with a purse on my shoulder and Serena in my right hand and James in my right I let go of Serena and knocked on the door I then grabbed her hand again. When the door swung open it was Katniss who opened it.
"OH MY! Madge I didn't know you had children they look so beautiful who the father?" she asked I looked over my shoulder and saw Gale struggling to get all the bags out of the trunk. I looked back at Katniss smiling.
"OH you know who it is but you haven't seen him almost as long as you've seen me" she shot me a confused face. I looked over my shoulder again and saw Gale walking over here I smiled when Katniss saw him walking up I heard her gasp.
"Hey Catnip." Said Gale
"GALE!" I scream my eyes are probably as big as saucers. I can't believe that he would just show up on my doorstep with Madge and two kids after leaving me in district twelve wait a minute…. With Madge "OH MY GOD! Madge you married Gale and had two kids with him?" I heard Peeta, Finnick, Annie, Johanna, and all the kids run to the door.
"What's wrong?" they all asked
"GALE?" Peeta, Finnick, Annie, Johanna all said I just stood there frozen my best friend my friend who I thought was dead I gotta know what happened the last ten years.
"Come on in I guess" I said in a nonchalant tone I watched them as they walked by me Madge their two kids in her hands as Gale walked in with a ton of bags behind her I closed the door and took a deep breath.
"Katniss are these all your kids?" Madge asked I looked at her like she was crazy because only two of those six kids were mine.
"AH, No only these two are mine" I said pulling them over to where I am "this is Shelby and Adam they are fraternal twins."
"Oh then who's are they?" Madge looked very confused
"Madge you weren't the only person invited to this party, these two kids here Chelsey and Finn belong to Finnick and Annie Odair, these other two Rachel and Blake belong to Johanna Mason they are adopted."
"Aww, do they know they aren't hers?"
"Yes, we know mama isn't our real mommy."Blake said that little boy is so bold to talk to a stranger.
"Oh, well ok then James, Serena you too should go play with the other kids while all the grown ups talk ok?" she asked her kids
"ok mommy!" they ran out with all the other kids to the back yard Peeta come up behind me and hugged me from behind I lean into his chest I looked up at Gale he had jealousy swimming all over his eyes. I then looked over to Madge she was looking at Gale and it looked like she regretted bringing him here.
"Well let's go to the dining room and talk Finnick, Annie, and Johanna are already in there." I was about to start walking behind Peeta when I felt someone grab my wrist and pull me back I looked over my should and it was Gale. Peeta and Madge didn't notice us not walking behind them Gale led me down to one of unused guest rooms he pushed me in the room and locked the door behind him. I was in a state of shock I wasn't comprehending what was happing next thing I knew my whole body was being pinned against the wall and Gale was on top of me he was staring straight into my eyes I saw jealousy, lust, and something else I couldn't exactly place.
"Madge is nice, but I know that we were supposed to be together Katniss don't deny it."
"What the hell! Gale did you smoke something before coming here? I love Peeta you love Madge I don't love you the way you thi-" I was cut off by Gale crashing his rigid lips on mine my eyes were wide as saucers his eyes were closed he pulled back.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT GALE! I TOLD YOU BEFORE I DON'T LOVE YOU LIKE THAT!" I screamed that at the top of my lungs Gale pinned me against the wall even harder it felt like he was going to push me through the wall.
"PEETA! PEETA, HELP ME!" Gale's hand suddenly connected with my check
"Shut the fuck up Katniss!" he hissed my hand flew up to caress my check tears were flowing down my checks
"KATNISS, KATNISS WHERE ARE YOU HONEY?" I heard Peeta yell I wanted to scream and yell but I was scared that Gale would hit me again so I just hoped Peeta would hear me crying I heard several footsteps running down the hall. The door knob started jiggling
"KATNISS ARE YOU IN THERE BABY!" he yelled
"FINNCK HELP ME BREAK THE DOOR DOWN! ON THE COUNT OF THREE! ONE…. TWO….. TTTHHHHRRREEEE!" The door came crashing down I got up and ran into Peeta's arms tears were running down my face my check still stung from Gale's slap.
"Katniss? Baby, are you ok? What happened? Why are you cr-"Peeta stopped asking me questions when he looked up and saw Gale.
"Gale what the hell where doing with my wife?" Peeta sounded really calm when he said that but his body language said differently his hands where balled into fist at his sides and his usually icy blue eyes seemed dark blue.
"Just finishing some unfinished business from a few years ago but now that's over I have nothing to with her." I just stared at him with a face of utter shock Finnick just stood there with a look on his face that probably mirrored my own little did I know Peeta was walking towards Gales and socked him in the gut then threw another punch towards his face Gale doubled over Annie and Johanna just stood there with the same look on their faces as Finnick and I Madge ran over to Gale.
"Gale, honey are you alright?" I scoffed at Madge asking him that of course he's not ok but even though Gale was my friend he deserved getting hit he has no right going around kissing me when I'm married to Peeta! We all filed out of the room and went to the living room Peeta hasn't left my side since and Madge hasn't left Gale's Annie, Finnick, and Johanna all sit together.
"I'm pretty glad the kids haven't found out about this at all let's keep it on the down low just for their sakes, let's pretend that never happened I don't want us fighting around them we're their parents and we're suppose to set the example ok? Let's just have the party tonight so you guys all can go home and forget this ever happened." Peeta said I'm so glad I married him he always knows what to say and I'm pretty glad he said that too because I just want the whole experience forgotten so I can live happily with him and my two children.
"Hi I'm Shelby and this is my brother Adam we're twins!" the little girl that looked like my years old told me.
"I'm James and this is my sister Serena we're twins too." I told her she looked happy I was happy cause I was making new friends
"OH, that's cool do you know Chelsey, Finny, Blake, and Wachel?" she askeded me I shaked my head no she ran to the other kids and bringed them over
"Well cause you don't know them this is Chelsey she's my bestest fwend and this is her brother Finny he's Adams bestest friend Blake he's also Adam's fwend and Wachel she one of my fwends!" me and Serena waved hi we are really shy. The grownups walked outside and said
"IT'S PARTY TIME!" music played and we danced and eated food I started getting sleepy and went to sleep next thing I knew I was going back home.
