The Young Huntress,Young Musician and The Young Flame Ch. 2
Peeta returns five minutes later with a tray carrying a plate of chess-buns and five mugs of hot-chocolate. Katniss looks up at him. He's wearing a blue button down shirt with tan cargo-pants. And black boots. His blond hair is slightly out of place, which is how Katniss likes it. Peeta sees her looking at him and smiles. Peeta gives Katniss a look that says Beautiful which makes Katniss blush and Peeta laughs.
"Alright here we are" Peeta says smiling as he places the tray of goodies on the coffee table.
"Mmm that smells great Peeta" Katniss says.
"Alright kids dig in" Peeta says. All three kids spring forward and grab a bun while Peeta slides next to his Radiantly beautiful wife and tucks the blanket around them. Peeta looks at Katniss
"Aren't you going to have one?" He asks. Katniss smiles and curls deeper into Peeta
"Oh I'll have one in a bit, I just want to be held by you first" she says smiling.
"Oh well come here my love" Peeta says as he wraps his arms around her.
"Ew your not going to kiss momma are you,papa?" Hunter says cutely
"No" Peeta says winking at Katniss
"Good, cause kissing is icky"hunter says going back to his cheese-bun,his eyes still on his parents.
"Oh well if kissing is icky then you better turn away cause." Katniss starts kissing Peeta.
"Ok well I'm going to go shoot some arrows outside" Idina says getting up. "Come on guys" she adds holding out a hand for her brothers. "I'm going to go work on my music" Daniel says taking one of his sisters hands and then leaving the room when he stands up, a minute later the four can hear the piano is being played in Daniel's room distantly. Idina turns to Hunter. "Come on Hunter" Idina says kneeling down and helping her brother up. Hunter immediately protests.
"But I wanna stay with momma and papa" Hunter whines forgetting what his parents are doing behind him.
"Do you still want to stay" Idina asks as she points and hunter turns around and sees his parents still close together and whispering thing in each others ears. Hunter turns back to his sister shaking his head no. "Alright then come on" Idina says as she picks him up.
"Bye momma, Bye papa" hunter says
"Bye my little-flame" Katniss says not looking up
"Bye son" Peeta says as he caresses his wife's face.
When they are out of the room. Idina sets her little brother down and grabs her bow and quiver. She heads into the backyard. When she is to the backdoor she look over at hunter, "You coming?" she asks.
"Nah I am going over to see grandpa and grandma and Gregory" hunter says pulling on his jacket. "Tell momma will you?" Hunter says as he opens the door, Idina nods and hunter closes the door.
Hunters Point of view
I walk over to my grandparents house, I love how they are so close they are. The wind picks up and I zip my jacket up. Man it is cold this time off year. Not wanting to be outside I break into a run to my grandparents home. Gramma Rochelle is sitting outside with little Gregory in her arms. She looks up and smiles
"Hello Hunter" she says
"Hi Gramma" I say giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek" "Hello little Gregory" I say.
"So what are you up too my sweet?" grandma asks as I sit down
"Oh nothing much just wanted to come over and say hi" I say not meet my grandmothers eyes.
"Hunter Haymitch-David Mellark, is there something on your mind?" she asks looking at me.
"Oh it's nothing grandma" I says
"Hunter?"
"Well it's just that, Idina has her archery, my big brother Daniel has his music" I says looking down at my feet. Rochelle waits for me to continue. I get this from my momma.
"Hunter?" Grandma calls me back to the present.
"What am I good at?" I ask. Grandma just looks at me.
"What do you mean my love?" she asks.
"What is my thing?" I ask.
"Well Hunter you are good at many different things"she says.
"Like?" I ask
"Well you are great at being cute and being caring" Grandma says smiling and poking me in the belly.
"I know I'm all those things" I say with a giggle "but what my special talent?" I asks. Gramma is about to reply but my Grandpa comes out of the house.
"Rochelle?" he calls
"Behind you Mitch" she calls.
"Oh there you are, well hello little-flame what are you doing here?" he asks taking a seat by Grandma.
"Oh I just came over to visit" I say as he ruffles my hair.
"We were just talking about what Hunters special talent is" Grandma says. We sit in silence as we thing about what it could be. Grandpa looks up and snaps his fingers making Gramma and I look up.
"I've got it, You could help me raise my geese that I got years ago, I could use someone like you to help with feeding and watering them and herding them. Your brother and sister don't like the geese and you do, so Hunter my cool little grandson, will you help me?" my Grandpa asks looking at me.
"Yeah I could do that" I say
"You'd really want to work with your old grandfather?" Haymitch says smiling at me
"I'd love to" I say smiling and getting up. "I'm going to go tell mama" I say "bye grandma and grandpa" I add as I take off. I am so excited I'm going to be raising geese. Before I know it I'm home. I run straight into the front door, but I don't let it get to me. I walk in side rubbing the spot where I hit. "Momma papa!" I scream"
"What is it my little-flame?" Momma asks coming to me
"I'm going to be a geese raiser like grandpa Haymitch is" I say
"Hunter is this something that you really want to do?" Momma asks holding back a laugh.
"Yes I do momma I really do!" I say
"Honey I think grandpa was just pulling your leg" Momma says as she sits next to me.
"What do you mean, momma?" I ask as I crawl into her lap and thinking my legs they aren't being pulled. I look up again and I see that momma is deep in thought.
"Momma?" I call to her.
"Oh sorry hunter" she says getting up. "Come on we are going back over to grandma's, we'll set this right" Momma says pulling on her jacket and then picking me up. I lay my head on Momma's shoulder while she walks over to grandmas.
Katniss's Point of view
Hunter and I are almost to my parents place. I am extremely mad at my adopted father, he has lead my ten-year old boy. My boy is a very naive boy easily waved over. When we reach the old house I bang on the door and not waiting for someone to answer I make my way in.
"Papa? Momma?" I call. Haymitch comes out hold a squirming Gregory.
"What's up sweetheart?" haymitch asks.
"Why the hell did you tell my son that his special skill is going to be raising your geese?" I asks as I set my son on the ground.
"I was just kidding about that, he left before I could tell him that I was joking" Haymitch says smiling.
He look over at hunter who now has tears in his eyes betrayal written on his face. Hunter takes off running tears falling down his face.
"I hope you're happy papa" I say bitterly as I follow my crying son. "Hunter!" I call as I look for him. There isn't very many places that he could be. I decide to check the meadow first because that's his favorite spot. When I get to the meadow I find my son right off underneath a honeysuckle bush. Yes he truly is my son.
"Hunter Haymitch-David Blake Mellark I know your here, will you come out please?" I ask sitting next to the bush, there's a sniffle and my youngest son emerges his face, he looks at me and my heart melts.
"Mama" he says crying as he climbs into my lap, a thing he's done since he was a toddler.
"Oh Hunter sweetie don't cry" I say as I hold him and wipe his tears away.
"Grandpa Haymitch lied to me, momma" he says
"I know dearest I know"
"What's my special talent momma?" he asks looking at me with glassy gray eyes.
"I don't know dearest, but trust me we'll find it" I say as I take him in my arms. We sit in the meadow and talk and play just my son and I.
"Momma can we go to the forest and just walk around?"Hunter asks
"Sure we can for a little bit" I say getting up and holding out my hand. We make it to the fence and under we go. Hunter clutches my hand but after a while he relaxes. We stay in the meadow for a half-hour before we head back home. As we reach the fence Hunter turns to me
"Momma?" he whispers looking at me
"Yes my little-flame?"
"Do you think I'd be a good healer?" he asks.
This makes me smile because that is the same question my little-sister prim asked our mother when we both little. I wonder if she remembers, I look at my adorable little boy, and kneel down in front of him.
"Hunter my boy, what ever you pick as your special talent I know you will be great at it" I say smiling.
"Really momma?" he says his brimming with excitement.
"Really baby, really" I say. Hunter hugs me happily.
"Now why we head back to the victors village and we head over to your grandfather's and you watch me kick his butt before we head home, would you like that?" I ask. In answer hunter just grabs my hand and we run to the house where Hunter will watch kick his grandfathers butt.
