Prologue
Finnick didn't die. Prim never blew up. Madge survived. Peetas family lived. Gale stayed.
Katniss pov
Eventually peeta and I grow back together. There are still moments when he clutches the back of a chair and hangs on until the flashbacks are over. It's been a few months since the rebellion. My mom,prim,and I all live in my house,while peeta lives in his a house down.
He has gotten much better now and rarely has flashbacks. Normally we sit by the fire and drink cocoa. While prim and my mom heal others or practice healing.
Tonight is different though. They already went to bed so it's just peeta and I. We lay on the couch,his arm around me. I look up at him and he smiles at me.
That's when I lean in to kiss him. I feel that thing again, the hunger that overtook me on the beach. I wrap my arms around him and he picks me up. We find our way to my room and carry on...When we are done I lay on top of him,my head on his chest,his arm around me.
"You love me,real or not real"he says.
"Real"
Prim pov
When I wake up I walk down stairs and find my mother making breakfast."Hey mom"I say as I walk over to her.
"Here will you bring this up to your sister?"She asks handing me a plate. Poor katniss,ever since the rebellion she has been a little depressed because she blames herself for people's death. Since peeta has returned she has been better.
I walk up the stairs and enter her room. I almost drop everything because what I see Is katniss laying asleep on top of peeta and they are obviously naked. Daanngg!
I slowly walk back down to the kitchen and say"mom,we need another plate." She looks at me confused and I say "I um.. Well ...What I saw...We need another plate mom"
Her eyes widen and she understands what I saw. She makes another plate. She follows me up this time,but when we enter the room they're not there. I see peetas clothes on the floor and I hear the shower going. We set the food down on the bed and leave.
I understand that my mom can't do anything about her and that she does things on her own,but I didn't expect this to happen. But they need each other.
Breakfast is silent between me and my mom. Then katniss and peeta walk down stairs,their hair dripping. I almost can't contain a laugh because of my mom's face. Peeta instantly blushes and looks away.
I noticed something between all of us. We are a weird broken family that has seen war.
But we'll survive. My mom is broken because she lost my dad . But she can care and heal people,even if it took her a while to get back. Even if she hasn't cared for us until now,she's trying and that's all I can ask for.
Katniss has taken care of me for a long time. She volunteered for me. She saved panem. She's broken. She deserves happiness.
Peeta brings that to her. He cares for her even through hijacking. She needs him. He is sweet and I hope that some day he will be my brother-in-law.
We're a family,we're just all broken.
A/N I hope you like the first chapter. Tell me what you think!
