Disclaimer: I do not own The Hunger Games
Katniss' P.O.V
I Katniss Mellark nee Everdeen have survived the Hunger games, twice, ended the Hunger Games once and for all. And I couldn't have done it without Peeta Mellark by my side. This year it is our son and daughters 16th birthday and we intend to tell them everything. They know we had some part to play in the rebellion but they don't know the details. Haymitch is explaining what happened in the games to be honest me and Peeta could never face them again.
I lose my train of thought when I hear Willow and Josh laughing outside. They must be coming back from school. Peeta is working late at the bakery today, which mean he must have felt a flashback coming on because he likes to make sure it is gone completely before he comes home.
Willow's P.O.V
"Josh what did you do to make him send you out again?" I ask between fits of giggles.
"I told him his painting didn't have the right brushstrokes and he offered me to teach the class as teachers always do when another student is telling the other what to do. And I did" He said sounding proud as he said the last part.
"What about you Willow? How many boys did you make feel rejected?" My mom always told me that I could get away with anything because I had dads irresistible blue eyes and I have always had boys follow me around but my dad says I'm not allowed to date until I turned 14. Josh has always been the centre of gossip. We both have. Josh is captain of the wrestling team he came 1st in the school. Dad told us that he came second just after his older brother. I've never met his brothers or my mom's little sister, Prim. Hopefully I get to know why when I and my older (by 20 minutes) brother turn 16.
Victor's village comes into view me and josh have always wondered why it is called 'Victors' village. Haymitch had said it was to do with something before the rebellion. But what there are a lot of rich people in Panem but only handful of people have a house in victor's village. Mom used to live next door to dad in victors village but then he moved in after they got married.
Josh's P.O.V
Willow looked as if she was deep in thought. She gets this expression which is only seen if she is concentrating, hunting or thinking deeply. Her bright blue eyes facing forward and her wavy dark hair falls down to just beneath her shoulders.
"MUM! We're home. Ill cook us up a snack!" I yell from the hallway
"Okay Hon you do that. I'll have my usual!" she calls back. Cheese Buns have always been her usual. It was the first thing my dad taught me to bake.
"just in case she gets upset or grumpy or moody" my dad always used to say but now it is embedded in my brain that that is what she loves.
Peeta's P.O.V
The paints swirl around on the canvas. My flashback is painted out. I am in the upstairs part of the bakery, My art studio. I also have one at home but this one is where i paint my nightmares. It's Katniss, She is above me holding a knife. She has a malicious grin on her face that says ' about time i should have done this a long time ago' her eyes show a different determination not one to get through and thrive but to go straight for the kill. this makes her look like the career she never was.
The time is 6pm which means the twins should've been home for a few hours by now. I head down stairs and tell Jay to lock up. Jay is an 18 year old we hired when he left school. I gave him an apprenticeship here. It would be easier for both of us really i would help him bake through the day and he would then hold down the fort when i usually leave at 5. He gave me a sympathetic and knowing look.
"sure thing " I cringe whenever someone calls me that. that title was my fathers and i never felt i deserved it after all he never survived the bombing. I just nod in return and say
"Jay how many times have i told you to call me Peeta."
"go on then Peeta. Say hi to the wife and kids for me" he has no family since his father was killed at the end of the rebellion whilst his mother just found out she was 3 weeks pregnant with him. she unfortunately died in childbirth so we Mellarks treat him like a member of our own family since we lost ours to in the heat of the rebellion.
"will Do" and with that i start the nice peaceful walk back home. To my gorgeous wife and my beautiful children.
