Katniss's POV
It took a long time for me to really feel ok again. My nightmares got worse after Peeta and I's daughter Prim was born. She was 14 now, and the nightmares of her learning about the games, hating me for the death's I'd caused. Honestly I was worried over nothing. The day Prim really found out she seemed to almost accept it. She said she "Understood" and that we "Had to do what we did to stay alive". After Peeta and I's son Rye was born about a year ago my nightmares started to fade, having a normal family was comforting for me.
We got married a little over a year after the war ended, some people were surprised but when Prim was born a few months later there wasn't much room for curiosity as to why we got married so quickly.
Things changed a lot after the war. Districts were now called Cities or Towns and the old Capitol had the same power as the rest of the 13 Cities. Capitol was just the official term. Its main 'export' was news and broadcasting.
Everyone's lives moved on after the war, Effie lived in the Capitol as a journalist. A man named Anjelo Myralen was President now.
A few weeks after the war ended Annie showed up at our door, with a small baby bump. She lived with us until her and Finnick's son, Finnick Jr. was born, and then moved back to Four. We saw her at least twice a year. 'Finn' and Prim were good friends. I always thought it was funny that we named our kids after the people we'd lost. Most people had expected it to be painful to have the 'constant reminder of their deaths'. But if felt like more of an honorary thing.
Johanna never got married, but she adopted a kid from 8 whose family was killed in a protest, she lives in 7 now. Mom still lived in Four, she can't come back to 12. Haymitch still lives alone in the big house across the street; he loves hanging out with Prim. They play darts after school almost every day, he's like an uncle. A loud, drunk uncle...
Gale lived in Two with his family, a wife and daughter who was a little bit older than Prim. We didn't see him all that much, he went to all the memorial ceremonies, but we never really talked. Part of me wanted to have that friendship we used to have. But a bigger part of me knew how unlikely that was.
Hope you enjoyed little weird intro thing. :P There's actual story stuff is in the next chapter.
