~Chapter 4~

Thank goodness Annie and Finn are heading back to District 4 today. Peeta and I had a rough night last night,and we're so tired. Peeta has been staying extra close to me today,and I've been careful about what I say to him. I could trigger home any minute.

I help Annie and Finn with there things and Peeta takes the kids to Haymich. I'm scared leaving them at his house,but Peeta says he took all his liquor and everything will be ok.
So then Peeta and I take the Odair's to the train,and Peeta pays for their ticket home. We will see them in about a week when we have to toto the memorial opening. Another thing I dread. We have to explain to Calico and Shiloh about everything,the games,the rebellion,everything.

Peeta and I go and stop by the bakery,because someone is picking up the cake him and Shiloh were working on. He said the family just moved here from District 2,and that the mom and boy looked extremely familiar. He also said her never met the dad,but that he was coming today to help carry the cake.

I sit in the back of the store while Peeta sets the cake in the box. I could watch him do this all day,he was so steady. A lady walks in and says,"Is it ready ?" Peeta nods.
"Yes ma'am and you can call me Peeta," he turns to me and says,"This is my wife Katniss." The lady has blonde hair up in an updo,and she wears a white dress. When she fully turns around I see who it is,Madge.
"Katniss! I haven't seen you in forever! How are you? Please say you still pick strawberries!" I stand up and walk towards her,"Of course I do Madge. I'm fine. Where have you been?"

"Well shortly after the rebellion my dad got a job in 2. I got married and had three kids, Roy,Harry,and Hazel. And my husband is coming in in a second. I think you'll know him."
I smile at Madge,I'm glad she is doing good. The window dings and 3 kids come running in. The boys have dark hair and dark eyes,and the little girl has golden hair and dark eyes. Then a tall figure walks in the room,he also has dark hair. He turns so I can see his face,it's Gale.

"Catnip?"he says. I look at him weird,"Gale?" He walks over to me and puts his hand on my shoulder,"Long time no see Catnip." I smile and turn to Peeta,"Your remember Peeta right?" Gale gives Peeta a look and says,"Gale Hawthorne. Katniss and I were friends a long time ago." Peeta give Gale another look back and says,"Peeta Mellark. Do you need help with the cake? Katniss and I got to go pick up our kids."
"Oh I'm sorry. Didn't mean to make you wait on us,"Gale says sternly. He puts money on the counter and picks up the cake. "Thanks I appreciate it. See you around Katniss,"he says and then walks out of the bakery. I wave at Madge,Gale,and the kids.

After they leave I sit back down.
"I'm sorry Katniss,"Peeta says. I go over to him and hug him around his waist. "It's not your fault. He's changed Peeta. He's different."

Peeta closes shop and we start back home.
