A/N:
Hello again. I know I did not leave a note on the Prologue.
I just want to say this is my second fan fiction story, so I'm not new at this anymore. Just at the relationship I chose.
Thank you for those who were my first reviews. I really appreciate it, greatly.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games. Only the plot I came up with.
See you at the bottom...
Enjoy!
Katniss gaze down at her one year old sleeping with pillows around them so they won't roll off the bed. She's up earlier than usual well who could blame her with today being Reaping day nobody is able to sleep long on this day. Prim and Hagan have been having nightmares for a week about being picked. Katniss always tells them that it's their first year in the Reaping with only one slip of paper in the ball; so they can't be picked.
But it still didn't stop them waking up in the middle of them screaming their heads off and waking up her babies making them cry and then she would have to sing them all back to sleep. She's the only one who inherited her father's voice. It was one of the reasons why her mother fell in love him.
Katniss sighs running her hand through her baby boy's ever-growing wavy blond hair. She loves her babies more than life itself and wishes Cato could see them and know he is a father. She hasn't seen him besides on TV since the night they were conceived. She longs to see him again.
She makes herself get out of bed to meet everybody in the woods to get food for later on to celebrate if none of them are picked today. She leans down and gives both her little angels a kiss on their lips and forehead and then starts getting dress.
She pulls on her father's hunting jacket which is big on her and grabs her game bag with what Hagan and Prim left out for her. Goat cheese wrapped in basil. Katniss smiles at how thoughtful they are and kisses their heads as she heads for the door.
A hissing stops her short and she hisses back at the ugly Cat her sister so desperately wanted to keep. Katniss doesn't even know why, it's an ugly fat little thing and just another mouth to fill. When Prim first brought it home she moved her babies as far away from that thing as possible and then she tried to drown it when everybody was sleep. She felt guilty when Prim started crying when she found out, so Katniss caved in letting the little fur ball stay.
He has yellow eyes, a half torn ear and patches of fur missing but it didn't stop Prim from loving it. To this day Buttercup still hates her and only associates with her if she has food to give.
"Watch them or I won't hesitate to drown you again." Katniss hisses at Buttercup. He hisses back and looks away from her clearly done with having her in his presence. She rolls her eyes at the damn Cat and leaves the house.
Katniss finds everybody in the woods already waiting for her.
"Sorry I'm late I didn't want to leave them." Katniss says and retrieves her bow and arrows from a hollow tree.
"Don't worry about it we still have plenty of time." Peeta says brushing her off. She nods.
"So what should we do today?" Rye asks.
"How about fishing and hunt for a squirrel or two?" Gale suggests. They shrug.
"Sure, why not. We haven't been fishing in a while." Rye says already heading toward the small pond. They followed in tow and started getting food.
They sat in the valley where it over looked the rest of the forest. Katniss started pulling out Prim and Hagan's treat for them.
"Prim and Hagan packed us some cheese." She said pulling it out and showing them.
"That would go great with what our Dad packed us." Peeta said and pulled out a loaf of still warm bread.
"Yea and these strawberries I picked as y'all were hunting." Rye added in.
"I got some blackberries." Gale says. Katniss nods and start rationing the food out equally. They all start eating in quiet until Gale breaks it.
"I wish we could live out here." He mutters. They nod.
"It would be better than the way we are living now." Rye comments.
"Too bad it's illegal." Katniss says. They sigh.
"But if it wasn't-" Gale starts but Katniss cuts him off.
"But it is, so drop it." She says sternly glaring at him. He nods knowing not to continue the subject.
"So what happens if one of us gets Reaped today?" Rye ask after a tense minute but this only adds the tension.
"We won't get Reaped." Katniss chocks out, but even she doesn't believe the words that are coming out of her mouth anymore. She has 20 slips of paper in there this year and Gale has 42. The odds are nod in their favor.
"That's bullshit Catnip and you know it." Gale says. Katniss sighs knowing she can't argue back.
"Well then take of my babies if I go in." Katniss says after another tense minute. They give her a hard look.
"You know we will protect them with our own lives. It's kind of insulting that you even had to ask us." Peeta says. She nods.
"Sorry."
"I think we should go get ready now. Reaping starts in an hour." Gale says. They start to get up. Once they are by the un-electrified fence they give each other a hug and then slip under the fence and separate.
Katniss gets home and find Hagan and Prim playing with Skye and Raven making them laugh. She smiles at the scene before her wishing they could just stay like this. She snapped her own self out of her thoughts.
"Are you guys ready?" She asks them. They nod and their mom comes into the room.
"I laid something out for you to wear." She says softly. Katniss only nods her head and goes into the bathroom to wash the sweat off of her. She still hasn't forgiven her yet.
She stares at the dress her mother's blue merchant dress before putting it on. Her mom comes in the room to do her hair.
"You look pretty." She says softly finishing her hair.
"Thanks" Was Katniss only response. She didn't accepts compliments well.
"I think he wants his mamma." Prim comes in the room with a wailing Skye in her arms. Katniss scoops him up in her arms and he stops crying almost immediately in her arms.
"You can tell he's going to be a mamma's boy." Hagan says enter the room carrying Raven over his shoulder who has her thumb in her mouth. That's become a bad habit of hers that Katniss has tried to break. Hagan puts her down since she can walk on her own a little. She walks slowly over to Katniss cautious of the steps she's making.
It's wonderful at how quickly her babies are developing. They can say some words like 'Mamma', 'Food', 'No', which is Raven's favorite word to say, and other words. Raven makes her way over to her Mom and grabs hold of her leg. Katniss smiles down at her seeing she's in a little dress, little shoes and her shoulder length straight chocolate hair pulled back into a small braid. Raven puts her hands up towards Katniss saying,
"Up, Mamma." And tries to climb up her leg. Katniss shifts Skye on her hip who plays with her ear and bends down to pick her up. Now both of them are on her hips.
"Are you guys ready to go?" Katniss ask Prim and Hagan who nod somberly. They all walk out of the house and down to the square where the Justice Building is. As they get closer Katniss notices Prim shirt tail is out.
"Prim tuck in your shirt, little duck." Her motherly side comes out. She does and they keep walking until Prim starts to freak out, having a little panic attack as they are in line. Her mother already went where the other adults go.
Katniss hands Raven over to Hagan and pulls Prim to the side.
"Prim everything is going to be alright. Just do as they ask and then go stand in your section." Katniss tries to sooth. Prim nods and they walk back to where Hagan is and Katniss takes back Raven from him.
After they are done checking in Katniss stands h the 16-year-old section with her babies and watches Prim and Hagan take their places. Effie Trinket walks onto the stage with the Mayor and starts the Reaping.
After they play the video telling them about the dark ages Haymitch stumbles onto the stage and sits down in his assigned chair next to the mayor and waves at the crowd being a drunken mess.
Effie makes a sound of disapproval but doesn't comments as she says.
"Ladies first." She then walks over to the girls bowl and sticks her hand in and brings it out holding a slip of paper. Everybody holds their breath as she makes her way back to the microphone and starts opening the slip.
Katniss doesn't have time to wish for it to not be Prim as Effie calls out the name of the girl tribute.
"Primrose Everdeen."
Effie says loud and clear. You could hear a pin drop at how quiet it got. The girls made way for a shocked Prim to go up on to the stage. She walks slowly and Katniss watches hers go and only snaps out of her shocked state at the sight of her shirt untucked in the back.
She pushes her way through the crowd to try to get to Prim with Skye and Raven on her hips, people make way for her.
"Prim!" Katniss yells as she gets into the clearing and Peacekeepers try to block her from continuing. She struggles against them knocking one on the ground as she stills yells for Prim and makes her way to her and steps in front of her and the words slip out of her mouth before she could think.
"I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!" She yells. Prim starts scream and clinging on to her.
"Katniss, NO! NO!" She's crying now begging for her not to. Katniss struggles to get her off with her two kids in her arms.
"Prim let go and go find mom." Katniss says struggling. Prim keeps scream as Rye and Gale come up to them. Gale picks Prim up who still screams her name and Rye takes Skye and Raven away from her and they start wailing from being separated from their Mamma.
"Mamma!" Skye wails trying to get to her and Raven does the same saying,
"No!" It breaks Katniss heart to see them like this.
"Up you go Catnip." Gale says and takes Prim away and Rye follows him. Peacekeepers push her toward the steps and she makes her way up to a waiting Effie.
"District 12's very first volunteer. Come on dear." She says. She climbs the last of the steps numbly still able to hear her babies crying out for her but she keeps an emotionless face as possible knowing this is being televised and she doesn't want to seem weak to the Nation
"What's your name dear?" Effie asks her as she stands in her spot on stage.
"Katniss Everdeen." She says in a monotone.
"Well, I bet my buttons that was your sister." Effie states. Katniss wants to look at her like she's stupid and ask sarcastically,
What gave it away?
But she doesn't she only says yes in a monotone voice.
"Well please give a round of applause for District 12's very first volunteer, Katniss Everdeen." Effie says encouragingly and claps.
Nobody applause instead they press their three fingers to their lips and raise it out to her. This means thanks, admiration, and good-bye to someone you love. Katniss throat bobs and her eyes go glassy. She wills herself not to cry because this might be the last time she'll see Skye, Raven and everybody else.
Effie not really knowing what to do, so she moves on with the Reaping.
"And now for the boys." She says and walk over to the bowl and pulls out a slip. She waste no time in reading the slip wanting to get this over with. Wishing they would stop giving her this crappy district who have no manners
"Hagan Everdeen."
Gasp come from everywhere as they put together what this means.
Brother and sister going into the Games together.
Katniss looks at Gale, Peeta and Rye and glares at them hard and shakes her head so only they can see. Silently saying,
Don't you fucking dare or I'll kill you myself.
They all hang their heads knowing she isn't playing. They know she'll give her life to make sure Hagan comes out alive.
Hagan makes his way to the stage too shocked not being able to register himself that he's even walking. He steps on the stage and stands in his spot.
"Any volunteers?" Effie calls out.
Nobody comes forth which Katniss is glad about.
"Very well then. Here we are. Our tributes from District 12. Well come you two, shake hands." She says gesturing between the both of them.
Katniss pulls Hagan into a tight hug and whispers in his ear.
"Don't cry this is being televised." She says. She feels him nod.
"Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor." Effie chirps.
Katniss and Hagan break apart and Effie ushers them into the Justice building. They are separated and brought into two different rooms. Katniss sits down on plush couch hating how good it feels, but can't help to run her fingers over it. She knows her mom and Prim aren't going to visit her first and if they did she would be mad. So she isn't surprise when Rye, Gale and Peeta come into the room. She stands up quickly and they all envelop her in a group hug.
"Why didn't you let one of us volunteer for him?" Rye says fuming and it's very rare to see him mad.
"I needed your guys here to look after everybody and you know damn well as I do I will never let anything happen to Hagan." Katniss says scowling. They nod sighing.
"Get to a bow and never let Hagan out of your sight." Gale then says.
"They might not have-" She start.
"Make them have a reason to put one in there." Gale says. She nod.
"You're smarter than them Katniss. You know how to survive. Don't let them make you a piece of their Games." Peeta says and then a Peacekeepers tells them time is up. They envelop her in a hug again.
"I love you guys. Don't let them starve." I shout as they get pulled out.
"We love you to and you know we won't" They shout out different things then the door shuts. Minutes later, Uncle Caleb comes in. He pulls her into a hug and then let's go.
"I'm so sorry." He says. Katniss looks at him confused.
"There is nothing to be sorry about." She says. He sighs.
"I promised them I wouldn't let anything happen to you guys and now look. I failed them." He says sadly.
"Hey, it's not your fault nobody could predict that this was going to happen. They would never blame you for this." She says softly holding his hand in both of hers. He nods and reaches in his pocket with his free hand.
"Here." He hands her a brown paper bag and she looks in it and see two cookies. She smiles up at him.
"You were the best Uncle anyone could have asked for." She says hugging him tightly and then adds, "Watch out for them." Knowing she means her kids he nods.
"I will and be careful." He says as his time is up.
"Love you uncle." She calls.
"Love you too." The door closes and Katniss is alone again. Her mother and Prim should be next carrying her babies, but instead she finds Madge Undersee, the mayor's daughter, walking in. They aren't really friends if you don't count the times they pair up as partners and sit beside each at lunch in school. They are quiet around each other but it's always a comfortable silence.
Now as Madge's walk up to her it's with urgency.
"Can you wear this as your District token? I gave your brother one also." She says and Katniss looks down at a Mockingjay pin in her hand. Madge doesn't wait for her to respond as she clips it over my heart.
"I'm going to miss you. You were a great friend." She says sincerely and pulls Katniss into a hug. She hugs her back and whisper a thank you. I guess we were friends.
"Bye Katniss." She then let's go and leaves the room before time is up. Katniss is a little shocked she came to visit her before she goes to her certain death, but it's soon pushed from her mind as her mom, Prim, Raven, and Skye come in. Raven and Skye has calmed down now, but Prim still has tears running down her cheeks.
"It's okay Prim." Katniss says softly sitting down and pulling her with her.
"You both have to come back." She sniffs. Katniss shakes her head.
"Prim only one comes out and you know that. Hagan will be coming home without me." She tells her. Prim nods sadly.
"I know you would do anything for us." She says sadly. Katniss nods and then turns serious.
"Listen. Gale will bring you game and whatever else you need. You can go to Uncle Caleb for anything." She tells her. Prim nods already knowing this.
"I love you." Katniss kisses her head. Prim hands her Skye and Raven.
"I love you guys. Mommies going to be going away for a while." Katniss says choking up as they sit on her lap playing with her fingers. She tries to memorize every little detail on them.
"Can you be good while mommies away?" She ask them.
"Good." Raven says. Katniss smiles nodding running her fingers through Skye's unruly blond waves.
"Yes, good. You guys be good for me." She says and kisses their heads, cheeks, and noses. She gives them back to Prim and stand up walking over to her mom.
"You can't check out on them again. Prim can't raise them by herself." She tells her looking her in the eye. Her mom nods.
"I won't. I promise." She says with tears in her eyes. Katniss looks at her and then pull her into a hug.
"Don't cry. I love you." She says and let go as their time is up. She pulls all of them into a group hug.
"I love you guys." She says as they get pulled away from her and the door slams in her face.
The door opens again and two Peacekeepers come in and direct her out of the building where she meet an emotionless Hagan standing next to and all too hyper Effie. She puts her arm around Hagan's shoulders and pull him close to her side as they walk pass people taking pictures of them before they get on the train. She pushes Hagan in front of her so he can go first and be away from them. She follow seconds later with Effie on her tail.
They both stood in awe at how the inside of the train looks and all the food that is laid out. Katniss felt disgust towards the Capitol people. They have all this food but still leave other Districts to starve. She gets pulled out of her internal rant when Effie tells them to take a seat anywhere and that she will show them to their rooms after the Reaping viewings. Effie then leaves to go and find Haymitch.
Katniss takes a seat on a plush chair close to the window and Hagan takes the seat next to her. Both their heads snap to the left where Haymitch stumbles in already half drunk. He takes a seat across from them and just stares at them.
"What?" Hagan finally asks irritated. Haymitch squints his eyes.
"You two are brother and sister?" He ask slowly with a slight slur. Katniss rolls her eyes.
"Oh my god really? What gave it away?" She ask sarcastically.
"Was it our last names?" Hagan ask dryly. Haymitch eye brows shoot up and then he burst out laughing.
"Jeez Sweetheart it was just a question. No need for the sarcasm. I see the boy takes after you." He says when he's finishes. Hagan huffs annoyed.
"Aren't you supposed to be mentoring us for these games?" He ask while Katniss stares blankly at Haymitch.
"Alright I like you two I guess I'll give you guys some advice." Haymitch says slowly starting to get serious. This catches Katniss's attention and she now stares at him expectantly.
"Stay alive." He says seriously and then burst out laughing again. Katniss and Hagan scowl at him. Hagan lurches forward and punches him in the face. Haymitch head snaps to the right from the impact and then he recovers quickly and starts to throw a punch at Hagan. Katniss sees this coming and gets up quickly catching his wrist before he can meet his target.
She then jabs his pressure points one by his underarm and the other in the bend connecting his arm and forearm. His arm goes limp.
"Don't even think about touching him." Katniss hisses standing in front of him dropping his arm. Haymitch looks at her and then at his arm trying to pick it up. He smirks at it thinking
Well I'll be damned….
"I like you two. So decide if you want to work together or separate. I can only save one of you." He tells them looking at them. They both sit back down.
"We'll work together." Katniss says. Hagan nods agreeing with her.
"Ok, here's the deal then. You guys don't interfere with my drinking then I'll stay sober enough help you both." Haymitch tells them. They nod.
"Deal." Hagan says. He nods and gets up starting to walk towards the door rubbing his sore chin. He stops before he leaves and turns around.
"You have a good right hook boy." He grunts smirking.
I can't get attached to them, they'll die sooner or later.
He thinks leaving.
"What are we going to do Kat?" Hagan ask her. Katniss sighs.
"The only thing we can do is listen to Haymitch and stick together."
"I'm scared Kat. I don't want to die." Hagan whispers looking up at his big sister with tears in his eyes. Katniss gets up from her seat and kneels down in front of him and wraps her arms around his neck, combing her fingers through his blond wavy hair. She pulls back slightly to lock him in a fierce look, holding his face in her hands.
"You are not going to die if I anything to do with it. You are too young to die. Stop thinking negative. Do you understand me?" He nods letting a tear slip down his cheek. She wipes it away and kisses his forehead.
"Dinner is ready. Come along tributes." Effie comes in and ruins their moment. They both stand up and follow her into the dining room. They sit opposite of Effie as people serve them their food. Hagan and Katniss's eyes are wide at how much food is on their plate now.
This would take weeks for Katniss to hunt and gather everything to make a meal like this and this was just the first course! After eating all the food and they could help but admit grudgingly that it was the most delicious meal that they ever had; but they were sick to their stomachs for over boarding it. Both of them looking a little green.
"I told you both to pace yourselves." Effie scolds them, but then brightens up.
"Let's go into the living room and watch the recap."
She gets up and starts walking toward the living room. They follow her and sit the farthest away from her. She turns on the TV as Haymitch stumbles into the room plopping down next to Katniss. Effie makes a sound of disapproval about him missing dinner and being late for the recap.
Everybody's attention turns back to the screen as they as they see other reaping's, the names called. They look at the faces of the kids who will be their competition. A few stand out in Katniss's mind. A monstrous boy, Jason, who lunges forward to volunteer from District 2; he has some crazy look in his eye that she doesn't like. His district partner Clove; she was little about Katniss's height maybe shorter with straight black hair and narrow hazel eyes. She didn't look crazy but she had a creepy smile on her face. The other person is a little 12-year-old girl, Rue. She's the same age as Hagan and nobody volunteered for the little girl with her big brown eyes and dark-colored skin. She was very much like Prim in size and it hurt her to even look at the screen anymore because of the resemblance.
Hagan and she could barely watch their own recap. You could hear the desperation in her voice as she volunteered for her holding her two precious babies close to her. Oh how she missed them so much now. To feel their weight on her body and run her hands through their soft silky hair. It didn't help at how much they resembled Cato so much. She wanted to break down and cry right now at how she will never be able to see them again. Abundantly she stood up as the recap was ending.
"Can you please show us to our rooms?" She asked Effie who looked startled at her urgency.
"Sure dear. Right this way." she begins to walk out showing them the way.
"Sleep tight you two." Haymitch called then took long pull of his clear liquor. Hagan rolled his eyes at him and followed the two women out of the room.
"Katniss this is your room and Hagan your room in right across from hers. Remember that tomorrow we arrive in the Capitol in the morning. So please make yourselves presentable." Effie says walking away with her heels clicking behind her. Katniss rolled her eyes at Effie's last request and then turn to face Hagan. He wrapped his arms around her skinny waist and looked up at her.
"I don't want to be alone tonight." He said knowing he would feel lonely without his twin sister to sleep beside him through the night. Katniss smiled down at him and softly said,
"You can sleep with me, but take a shower in your room and then come in to mine. Okay?" he nodded and unwrapped his arms. He turned around and went into his room without another word. She slipped into her and gaped at how big it was. It was the size of her house if not more!
She shook her head to get out of the trance she was in and walked into a big bathroom that had a shower. She had never taken a shower or had fresh running water at her command. So when she got in the shower she didn't know how to turn it on, but with a lot of button hitting she found the water button and it sprayed her like a waterfall and she relaxes under the water and finally let herself grieve at what is to come and what she had to do.
She gives this time to finally break down and cry knowing no one can see her in her time of weakness. She lets out heartbreaking sobs knowing Skye and Rave will not know their Mom that well to remember her. She only cries for a minute until she finally pulls herself together and washes herself. She turns the shower off and steps on plate and it dries her instantly.
She walks out of her run naked because she forgot to bring clothes with her. She goes to a big closet and picks out plain flannel shorts and white loose t-shirt not even bothering to put any underwear on under the clothes. She has more things to worry about than that.
She closes the closet door and turns the lights out moving to the soft bed. She laid her head on the soft pillow as she got under the thick silk covers. She never felt anything so soft than right now as she lays in it. A knock at the door startles her, then she remembers its Hagan.
"Come in." She calls facing the door. She hears the door open letting in a little light and then it shuts. The bed dips as Hagan gets in and under the covers next to her. He sighs and moves his body closer to Katniss to feel her body heat. She wraps her arms around him and kiss his head.
"Goodnight Hay." She says soothingly.
"Night Kat." He says back and then he's out just like that too exhausted to stay up any longer. Today's event has taken its toll on him. Katniss watches him sleep. His face slack and the worry lines on his forehead disappearing making him look peaceful and younger than 12. She smooth's his hair out of his face and kiss his head one more time before she goes to sleep herself.
Cato sits down with his tributes after eating to see the recaps of the reaping's. He's not happy that Clove volunteered at only 14. He scolded her once they got on the train. She just rolled her eyes and tuned him out. He was however glad the District psycho had volunteered this year. He was crazy and known for raping girls any age around the District. Cato refuses to mentor him for anything.
The beginning of the reaping is boring. Nothing about District One's tribute's stand out just a dumb blond with green eyes and a tall brown-haired skinny boy lacking muscle. Jason comments on the blond girl with a glint in his eye.
They start getting to the lower Districts and Cato pays more and more attention until all his attention on the screen by the time District 12 comes on.
Please don't let Katniss be reaped this year. He thinks.
He begs in is mind as their escort Effie starts the reaping. She calls 'Primrose Everdeen' and he swears his heart stops at that moment. He already knows what's going to happen now. He knows Katniss to well to not know what is going through her mind right now.
They hear a strangle cry coming from the crowd and the camera goes to crowd and see a skinny brunette girl with wide hips and medium breast and she has two kids that look only about one on each of her hips. Cato knows it's Katniss's but he doesn't know who those kids belong to and why she looks so different.
"Prim!" She shouts and Cato stops breathing as she volunteers for her sister and he feels someone just knocked the air out of him as the two kids shout 'Mamma' as Rye takes them away from her.
Holy….Shit….
He thinks trying to figure out who those kids belong to. The little girl has straight brunette hair and big blue eyes and fair tanned skin and the boy has the same skin but has unruly wavy blond hair and bright grey eyes. You can tell that they are twins and they stand out in the district.
Cato watches as Katniss turns all her emotions off and mounts the stage numbly. He can practically feel how pissed and scared she is because he feels it to and it's a very, very rare feeling for him to feel. He can feel Brutus, the other mentor, eyeing him but he doesn't dare take his eyes off of the screen in front of them. Brutus and Haymitch are the only people who knows Katniss and how he feels about her.
He feels like he's going to pass out when her little 12-year-old brother is called and nobody volunteers for him. He knows Katniss made Gale, Peeta, and Rye to not step up. You could see the hard glared she was giving but nobody but he knew who she was glaring at.
Dear God no…She can't….
Cato couldn't believe that he was going to have to watch his girl and brother go into the games together.
This is just sick!
"I call dibs on the girl from 12. I want to kill her in my own way." Jason says smiling and there's that glint in his eyes again. Cato was about to pounce on him for saying such a thing and Brutus senses this and tells them to go to their rooms. Clove stubbornly stays and sits next to Cato who has his head in his hands breathing hard. Once they hear the door shut to Jason's room Brutus starts talking but its low knowing the walls have ears.
"Are you okay?"
Cato looks up at him and scowls.
"No I'm not fucking okay. You know what she means to me. You know that as well as I do that she's as good as dead." He hisses feeling hot stingy tears in the back of his eyes. Clove looks confused between the two.
"What are you talking about?" She ask.
"Katniss." Brutus answers.
"Why does any of this have to do with her?" She ask still confused.
"Cato and she have a thing." Brutus says not wanting to say too much. Clove makes an 'O' shape with her with her mouth finally putting the pieces together.
"So…Those kids with her are Cato's?" she ask slowly. Brutus shrugs not knowing what to say.
"I don't know. I haven't seen her in so long those could be anybody's." Cato says frustrated and starts pacing the room while running a hand through his hair to calm him down.
"Calm down boy and just talk to her." Brutus grunts. Cato sighs and nod already stopped pacing.
"Alright tomorrow after the Tribute Parade." He says.
"Good. Now both of you get some sleep." Brutus dismisses them.
A/N:
I hope you guys like it.
Now it's time to answer some questions from my reviewers and address their opinions.
First I know it seems a little awkward for Katniss to get pregnant at 14 but come on now. This is a fiction story. I can basically come up with anything absurd. Plus you can get pregnant once you start your cycle and I have known people that got pregnant at age 13. Young right?
Secondly I'm not going to go too in depth about Cato and why he was even in District 12 when he was younger. So I'm just going to tell you here. He went to other district because he was one of the special people in District 2 in there training center. so basically District 2's training center took the ones who they thought were special and would win the Games easily on a field trip to the other district to see how they lived and such.
Yes Cato is Snow's grandson, but he wasn't born and raised in the Capitol because his dad is from District 2 and his mom moved there with him.
That's is all I will give you because the other stuff will come out in later chapters that I already written.
Next update will be next Friday.
Thank you for everyone who reviewed, liked, and follow this story.
