Okay I'm sorry for my attitude in the last authors note I was really irritated. My eyes were hurting, I'd just finished going swimming and you know…chlorine. So I know you must be like aww, Celine and beck kissed, and yay Celine can hear and talk know. Alright know imagine this chapter is years later because I really don't feel like telling you about EVERY SINGLE THING that happened in their lives so yeah. Imagine that it's like… nine years later which means that Celine is sixteen, beck has just turned sixteen, hunter is 11 and archer is like 10. This is a Celine+Beck chapter. Enjoy!
Our lips separate and I smile. I run my fingers through his dark brown hair and look up into those big green eyes. "Happy birthday" I say to him for the thousandth time today. He smiles at me, his teeth sparkling white. His hands hold onto my hips and he makes us fall over and onto the couch. He's grown taller than me and his body is muscular, more masculine than it was nine years ago when we shared our first kiss.
We hear the door open, "eww, why are you guys always doin that!" archer says when he sees us. I look over at him and scowl. "Deal with it" I reply. Beck laughs and then sits up. We came to district four for becks birthday. Every year we come here to celebrate it, and then he and Aunt Annie come to twelve for mine and the boys.
Archer walks over and sits on the couch, his blonde waves fall to his shoulders. "You guys are nasty" he says under his breath and reaches for the remote to turn on the TV. "c'mon let's take a walk" beck says. "Wait" I say to him and lean over the couch and say to archer, "Where's your brother". "Playing computer games upstairs. He won't let me play" he says pouting. He is such a baby, but I still love him. "Turn the TV off, come upstairs with me" I say. He does what he's told and we go upstairs.
We go into becks room where hunter is playing on the computer. "Hey, let archer play" I order. "No, he keeps making me lose" hunter complains. "so what. You have to teach him. Or at least take turns so he won't mess you up" I say. He groans and I pop him in the back of his head. "Ow, stop" he yells whirling around. "Let him play" I say again. "Fine!" he says and gets up from the computer so archer can play.
"Thank you" I say and kiss his head. He swats me away and I laugh. I kiss archers head and say, "beck and I are going for a walk. No fighting" I say and walk to the door. "Yeah, you're going for a walk and then you're going to kiss him like you always do. *smooch, smooch* hunter teases. I turn back around and pluck him in the mouth then run. "Ow! I'm gonna get you back!" he shouts.
The boys are usually nice and care for each other, but their getting to that age where they like to mess with each other and annoy me.
I sneak up behind beck and hop onto his back. "Mush!" I say pointing to the door. He laughs and leaves out of the house carrying me on his back. I climb down and take his hand. We stroll through the district, get some water ice and sit in the dog park in a tree. I lick my water ice and say. "I heard my parents talking about wanting to get us a dog, me and the boys". "oh really. What kind" he asks. "how am I supposed to know" I reply. Beck puts his hands up defensively. Beck thinks for a moment. "I should ask my mom for as dog, as a birthday gift, she never denies anything I ask for on my birthday" he says. I lick my water ice again. "yea you should. Ooh, ask for a puppy, those are so cute. My stepdad, Gale, has a baby pit bull. His face is so wrinkly" I say in a tiny voice. "ha! And when it grows up it'll be a VICIOUS dog."
I shake my head. "no he's a nice little puppy, always whining and snuggling. Oh I just wanna squeeze it until his head pops!" I say. Beck looks at me terrified, his mouth wide open and I laugh. "Close your mouth, you'll catch flies. Or in this case fleas" I say. He smiles and drinks his melted water ice. I continue mine and when I look up again I find becks eyes trained on me. No, his eyes are lowered a bit. I follow his gaze and see he's looking at my chest. I cover my chest with my arms and smile shyly, "beck stop that" I whisper. "Sorry" he says back.
He looks down again, and then quickly averts his eyes. I blush, why he is looking at that. "Just out of curiosity, what bra size are you" he asks. "What! Why?" I ask pretending to be offended. I actually do want to tell him. "It's just…your boobs are so…big" he stutters. I blush and say, "I'm a d cup". "Whoa! Sheesh a d cup!" I nod. He smiles mischievously, "can I see" he says. "No" I reply strictly. "Alright sorry" he says and drops the subject.
We head back to his house after an hour and walk through the door. "Hello? Momma" beck calls. Aunt Annie makes an appearance from the kitchen. "In here" she says. We walk into the kitchen and beck hugs her and kisses her head. I hug her next. "hey there you too" she says in her usual quiet voice. "where are my parents" I ask. "on a date" she says. "oh" I reply and stand quietly as beck asks, "momma, for my birthday present this year can I get a dog" he asks hopping up and down like a child. I giggle.
"you want a dog' she says. "mhmm". She considers this for a moment. "if I let you get a dog you have to be responsible for it which means, cleaning up after it, feeding it, bathing it washing, training it. Do you understand." "Yes momma thank you!" he says hugging her. She smiles and gives him her credit card. "go pick out something tame" she says as we rush out the door.
"c'mon help me pick something out" he says when we reach the pet adoption center. We stand at the front counter and beck says, "We wanna adopt a dog, something tame first of all, something you know dependable, trusty" he says. The woman hadn't been looking at him. She finally sees him and her eyes grow big. "oh! Could it be you, the son of finnick odair" she says in awe. "um yeah. And this is katniss and peeta's daughter" he says not wanting me to be left out.
"it's truly an honor to be in your presence, I supported the rebellion one hundred percent and I loved your mother" she says to me. I smile kindly. "thanks" I say. "go ahead inside, get whatever animal you want, it's on the house" she says and lets us pass. "oh, thanks!" beck says.
I personally don't like the fact of being treated differently because my parents are famous. I don't like special treatment, I like to be seen as unique and known as neutral sure but, I don't want to be treated special.
We go inside and look for the pens and cages that hold dogs. We walk up to a large cage and see a huge dog the size of a horse. The sign reads, 'Great Dane'. "Look at this big guy" he says. "No way, your mom will have a heart attack" I say. He nods in agreement. We go to the next cage and it reads 'pit bull'. It barks at us and we walk away afraid. The next one says 'Labrador retriever'. "What about him" he asks. "I like HER" I say to him. "How do you know it's a girl?" he asks. I kneel down and point to the eight nipples hanging from under the dog. "That means she has puppies" I say. "Well lets go find 'em" he says and takes my hand. We walk around and find a pen of little puppies the sign reads 'labrador retriever pups'. I look into the pen. "aww look at them they're sooo cute" I say. Beck picks one up and rubs his nose to its and says, "aww look at him" he say to me. I rub it's head with my fingers and say, "hey there little guy you wanna come home with us. You could be our baby, and we'll teach you how to do tricks" I say to the puppy.
"is this a boy or girl" beck asks me. "a girl" I say. Her fur is a golden and her eyes are big and brown. She's whining. "I want her" he says. I smile and we go back out to the front desk. "oh wonderful decision" the woman says. "what would you like to name her" she asks. "I wanna name her Bullet" he says. "Why" I ask. He shrugs. "I like this name." he responds. The woman gives us a pink carrier and gives us a form to tell us about the puppy.
As we stand outside I read it aloud. "it says here that her original name was Maggie, she's was born in February and is only a month old. She has seven siblings". "we need to buy her a collar and some food" beck say steadying the carrier.
We go to the pet shop next door and purchase a pretty purple collar with a bell on it and a large bag of dog food. I pick out two pink bowls for food and water and get a squeaky bone chew toy. I carry the bag and we head back to the victors village.
When we get inside everyone's attention turn to the carrier in becks arms. "Whoa you got a pet" hunter asks running up. "Yea" beck says and gently places the carrier onto the floor. He opens the door and takes out the little puppy. "Aww, it's so cute" archer says coming over. My parents are back and they along with Aunt Annie walk over to see the puppy. "her name's bullet" beck says. "she's just a baby" my mother asks. "yeah." I say and look at beck. "she's our baby".
