Disclaimer I don't own the hunger games or the song which is in bold. Song is You're Still The One, by Shania Twain.
As I sit there watching our children play in the meadow I feel Peeta come and sit next to me. I know it's him, without looking, I always know when he is near and the feeling of safety and warms he brings hits me immediately. I feel his strong arm loop round my waist and pull me closer. I rest my head on his shoulder, close my eyes and take a deep breath, he smells of warm bread and cinnamon and my heart melts. I never thought I could be this happy, that after all we have been though we could be here with our children.
I sit there for a moment with my eyes closed just listening to Peeta breathing and our children playing. Then I hear the Mockingjays, singing so happily it's like they know how I feel and I can't help but join in.
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
I start of softly barely a whisper, just loud enough for Peeta to hear. He leans back to look at me and I open my eyes to meet his.
They said "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
I raise my hand to his face a stroke his cheek with my thumb and he smiles back at me.
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
You're still the one I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
At this he leans in and presses his lips to mine stopping me singing for a moment and I'm lost in his lips. We might have stayed there longer but we break apart when our son places himself in my lap and puts his head on my chest. I smile down at him and wrap my free arm around him. I look over to see that our daughter has found space on Peeta's lap and so I rest my head on his shoulder again.
"Please sing mama" my baby girl pleads and stares at me with Peeta's eyes and I can't deign her so I continue my song.
Ain't nothing better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missing
They said "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
You're still the one I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
As I Finnish my song I realise that the sun is almost setting and my baby boy has fallen asleep in my arms and our daughter is not far behind him. I glance up at Peeta and see him looking right back at me, we share a smile before we gather our sleepy children in our arms and take them home to bed.
