Jealousy in the Mellark Home

Ok, so in my version their kids are not to far apart and it only took 5 years of convincing on Peeta's part.. Rye, 4, and Willow, 6. They rebuilt District 12.

Finnick didn't die because that was WAY to sad.

"Willow, Rye! Breakfast!" Peeta yelled through the open window of their District 12 home. He smiled as he watched his barefoot children run across the green grass in their front yard, "Do you want me to yell at you?" He asked them.

"No daddy!" Rye, their blond haired little boy, called back. He grabbed his little sister's hand and dragged her back to the house. "Now," he said in a business-like tone, "What's for breakfast?"

Katniss woke up from her dream about the Games and started to whisper, "My name is Katniss Everdeen Mellark and I live in district twelve. I was in two Hunger Games. I killed Snow. I killed Coin." Her voice got louder. "Gale killed Prim and I hate him. I married Peeta and had two kids. Rye and Willow. My dream was not real. PEETA!"

"Katniss!" Peeta started towards the stairs, "It wasn't real! We're safe! We are all safe! It's going to be ok!" He made to their room and wrapped his arms around her. "It's fine. Katniss I love you. You'll be ok." She looked up at him and placed a small kiss on his thin lips. He smiled.

"I heard something about breakfast?" She smirked and hopped out of bed.

Willow, Rye, Peeta, and Katniss had just finished Peeta's homemade cinnamon rolls and had settled in the family room. Willow worked hard on a fort in the left corner while her younger brother rolled around in the middle of the room. Peeta sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee and his wife had fallen asleep with her head in his lap. Wow, He thought If anyone had asked me when I was 16 if I would have two kids with THE Katniss Everdeen I would have said 'I hope so" and laughed. He looked over at Willow who had begun to sing.

"Deep in the meadow, under the willow-" Willow was cut off by her mother.

"A bed of grass, a soft green finished the verse just as someone pounded on the door. "Well, it's not anyone we know because our friends don't know how to knock."

Peeta stood up, "I'll get it."

Katniss grabbed his arm and gestured to his bare chest, "Not without a shirt on you won't. WE'RE COMING!"

A very familiar voice called, "JUST LET ME IN KATNISS!" Katniss looked at Peeta with alarmed eyes. What should we do? Katniss mouthed.

Just let me answer it. Peeta mouthed back. "Ugh. Fine. Just make him go away please." Peeta walked towards their front door and opened it.

"What are you doing here, we have a different government now that 'engagement' doesn't matter," Gale said in the nastiest tone he could

"Well, you must've been living under a rock, because we were under the impression that all of Panem knew about our marriage and children." He spat back even though he knew Katniss wouldn't want a fight.

Gale stared at Peeta for a minute. (A/N this is where I imagined the Nick Jonas song "Jealous" playing in his head.) "You're bluffing Mellark. Katniss wouldn't get married or have kids in a million years. And definitely not with you."

Peeta knew he would regret it but he yelled back into the house, "Willow, Rye Katniss come here, please." He turned to Gale with a determined look etched across his face.

Willow was by his side first, "Yes daddy?" The six-year-old looked up at her father. "Who's that?" She asked just as Katniss appeared with Rye in her arms.

Gale took the opportunity, "I am your mother's true love, darling." He grabbed Willows hand and gave her a primrose.

Katniss slapped his hand. "Willow take your brother inside darling." She then turned to Gale with fire in her eyes, "How dare you come to my house tell my children I love you when I haven't heard from you in years. After you killed my sister!"

"Fine, if you love him, kiss him. No hesitation. And trust living among the Capitol people I know when it's real." He said. He was sure she wouldn't. She would be too embarrassed and if you're too embarrassed to kiss someone you love then you don't love them.

"I love you, Peeta," she stage-whispered into his ear before pressing her lips against his. His arms snaked around her waist as her hands found his golden hair. Just as his hands began to go lower, a young voice yelled, "eeeewwwww mommy daddy that's gross" and they separated.

Gale looked at them, "Fine you have her. But not for long. Jealousy makes people do bad things." Katniss and Peeta dragged their kids inside and locked the door.
