Katniss' POV
Peeta had always begged me for children. Ever since we got married I'm sure he asked at least once a week. For years my answer was always no, I was too scared of how the world would treat them. But one day, my answer changed.
I was helping out in the bakery, as I sometimes did, managing the cash registers and helping take things out of the oven when the timer went off, as Peeta would never let me help with the baking side of things. He liked to do that himself, that's why his bakery was amazing, because everything had to be just perfect. And it was.
Anyway, I was cleaning the top of the counter, as it wasn't very busy today, when I saw a family outside. The parents were our age, as I recognised them from school. They had a little boy, who looked about six, a small girl who looked about two and a tiny baby wrapped in a yellow blanket tucked into a pushchair. They were walking along laughing, without a care in the world, as though nothing else mattered. It made me think; why had I fought in the rebellion? Was it because I hated everybody in the Capitol who had anything to do which the games and wanted to get revenge? Well, yes, but it was mostly to give the people of Panem the freedom they deserved, so that they could go on to lead happy lives without the worry of the cursed Capitol pouncing on them and ruining everything. It was so people could move on and not be afraid to enjoy life.
My fighting was to make the world a safer place for children to be brought up in, so why was I still so afraid?
In that moment, I decided I wanted to start a family.
So, what do you think? Review! This was quite a short chapter, Next chapter up as soon as possible :) x
