A/N: Okay so another little random one shot I thought up while listening to Run Daddy Run. Seneca listens in on Katniss singing their twin daughters Alison and Lilly to sleep. (Alison and Lilly are 3, Katniss 21 which would put Seneca late 30's to 40)
Disclaimer: I no own anything, ps this is gonna be kinda sad
Seneca POV:
It was late, later than I liked it to be when I got home. The first thing I noticed was that the lights were all on downstairs. I knew Katniss still had her fears but I thought it a little overboard it have every light on the house. I turned the switches off as I made my way upstairs. As I got closer to Alison and Lilly's room I noticed everyone wasn't asleep like I had thought. I hung back in the doorway feeling like I was intruding upon a special moment meant only for my wife and daughters.
"Mummy, where's your daddy?" I closed my eyes and sighed dejectedly at Lilly's seemingly innocent question. I would always somewhat blame myself, even though I wasn't working for the Capitol then. I was now and that's who had caused her father and many other's deaths in a mine explosion. I saw Katniss wipe a hair of Lilly's light brown hair from her face and kissed her head softly.
"He's my Angel now sweetheart." Lilly tried to smile for her but it didn't quite reach her eyes. They had that in common, even before the Hunger Games Katniss mother told me her smile never quite made it's way over all her face. Stepping in a little more I watched her pull the blankets over both of them and getting ready to leave when Alison's voice stopped her.
"Mummy, can you sing for us?" I straightened a little, I had only heard Katniss sing once. That had been at Prim's service after the last attack against the Capitol. It had worked and now it wasn't so much a Capitol as a center but it was still called that, we still had the Hunger Games, and we still had crazy, blood thirsty people in high up places.
"Daddy can you hear, the Devil drawing near? Like a bullet from a gun, Run Daddy Run." How true those words were and always would be, and there's nothing I could do about it. I wasn't as brave as Katniss liked to think, she was the one who helped me at District 13, the one who helped me stand up to Snow.
"Daddy, you're home!" I smiled and walked over giving both Alison and Lilly a kiss on their foreheads. I looked at Katniss and saw the sadness etched on her face, I sighed and pulled her into a hug kissing the top of her head.
"Go on to sleep girls." I said barely above a whisper and turned out the light behind us. As soon as the door was shut Katniss ran to our room and I knew she was trying to not let me see her tears. I walked after her making sure it was slow so she would be all cried out and I could pretend I didn't see anything. "Katniss, you know you can cry in front of me."
She sniffled a little and wiped the back of her hand across her eyes, drying her tears. She looked up at me and I saw just how much this had affected her. Her eyes bloodshot and swollen her face blotchy all over. I sat next to her and kissed both her eyelids then her cheeks.
"I know Katniss but just remember, he's your Angel now."
