That night at the City hall. Kat was greeted by her family backstage.
They all stared at Kat in awe. "How do I look?" Kat asked.
"You look gorgeous sweetheart." Gale said giving Kat a hug.
"Thanks Daddy." Kat said sweetly.
"You look even prettier in it than I did when I wore it." Johanna said. "Like an angel." Kat gave Johanna a nervous smile.
"Something wrong dear?" Johanna asked.
"I must just be nervous about tonight." Kat said.
"Well luckily they let you have your bodyguard on stage with you." Katniss said
"I don't think that's going to feel much better." Kat said.
"What? Why?" Annie asked. Before Kat could answer she was pulled away by Haymitch.
"You really couldn't of picked a better time to do that." Kat said.
"How could you get yourself pregnant, like volunteering for the hunger games wasn't stupid enough." Haymitch said angirly.
"Shhhh! Someone may hear you. And by someone I mean my parents." Kat said in a hushed tone.
"You haven't told them yet?" Haymitch asked.
"I just found out i'm with a child not even twelve hours ago!" Kat whispered loudly. Katniss sighed "Look, I'll go tell them right now." Kat walked back towards her family.
Haymitch pulled Kat's arm. " We don't have time now." Haymitch said frustrated. ''You are about to go on stage.''
"But Fletcher hasn't even gotten here yet." Kat said.
"Here I am." Fletcher popped up. He looked slightly gothic.
"Are you wearing eyeliner?" Kat asked, trying not to laugh.
"I know it looks stupid." Fletcher said.
"Actually, it looks kinda hot." Kat smirked.
"Oh really?" Fletcher asked, stepping a little bit closer to Kat. He began to wrap his arms arouns Kat's waist but Kat stepped away.
"Save the hugs and kisses for the stage." Kat said.
"So this, is just for the stage?" Fletcher asked.
"What? No I just -" Kat panicked.
"Chill I know that's not what you meant." Fletcher said.
"Don't do that! I felt like I couldn't breathe!" Kat said, still shaken.
"That wouldn't be good for the baby." Fletcher said, tapping Kat's abdomen.
"No it wouldn't be." Kat rubbed her stomach.
"Are you sick?" Ever asked as she walked over to join them. Kat quickly shot Fletcher a look. He shook his head, removing his hand from Kat's stomach.
"Um yeah, I must of had to much to eat today." Kat pretended to cough.
"aww poor Kat." Fletcher gave her a friendly hug. Ever smiled.
"You two look so cute." Ever said. Kat and Fletcher immediately broke their hug, feeling embarrassed
Ever smiled of acompliahment. Just then the producer called Ever to the stage. Ever waved goodbye to her new friends.
"We're next. " Fletcher said excitedly.
"great." Kat said bluntly.
"Oh, it will be fine." Fletcher said. Kat rested her head in Fletcher's chest. Fletcher lightly swayed back and forth. " What happened to no PDA?" Fletcher asked.
"It went to hell." Kat smiled in Fletcher's chest.
" What are you doing?" Lavinia asked.
"She's nervous." Fletcher said.
"It's just an interview." Lavinia said, annoyed.
"Just let her be." Fletcher said. Lavinia rolled her eyes and walked away.
"Is she gone?" Kat whined.
"Yes diamond she is gone." Fletcher said.
"Don't call me that." Kat said.
"but your just so beautiful. Like a diamond." Fletcher whispered the last part softly into Kat's ear. Kat giggled.
"Fine you can call me diamond, but I'm calling you Prince." Kat giggled.
"What? Why prince?" Fletcher asked.
"Because you saved me. Your my prince." Kat said. Just then, the producer called Kat and Fletcher to the stage. Fletcher offered his hand, Kat happily accepted and the two walked out onto the colorful stage. The audience cheered. Kat could even see presidential signs being held by fans.
Kat walked over and shook Fedorian's hand, still holding Fletcher's hand in her left. Fedorian made a gesture asking permission from Fletcher to kiss Kat's hand. Fletcher nodded and smiled as Fedorian lightly kissed Kat's hand. Kat blushed. Fletcher and Kat walked over to their seats. Fedorian seemed to waste no time to ask questions.
"So, Katniss I thought you said Fletcher and yourself were only friends." Fedorian said.
''Well I think it's time I cleared the air. I am dating Fletcher Odair.'' Katniss confirmed.
''Why did you feel the need to hide your relationship with Fletcher?'' Fedorian asked.
"I just didn't want people to not vote for me or judge me, but now that I'm leaving all I care about is having Fletcher by my side." Kat said. The audience let out an "oh."
"Is this true Fletcher?" Fedorian asked with a smirk.
"Yes it is, I didn't want anyone to judge my Diamond for dating the help." Fletcher said.
"So what do you plan to gain out of doing this Katniss?" Fedorian asked.
"To be president of course and to end these games for good.'' Kat answered.
''Well it's going to be hard now that your pregnant isn't it?'' Fletcher said.
"Your pregnant?" Fedorian asked, the entire audience gasped.
"Yes." Kat nodded her head.
"There is either an Ellie Rose or a Carson Winter inside there right now." Fletcher rubbed Kat's abdomen, smiling at the cameras.
"Or both." Kat joked.
"Oh I think one is plenty for now. Maybe we can have a few more after we get married." Fletcher said.
"So do I hear wedding bells in the near future?" Fedorian asked. Fletcher smirked.
"Well actually," Fletcher pulled a velvet box out of his pocket. The entire audience gasped as Fletcher got down one knee. " Katniss Amelia Hawthorne, will you marry me?" Fletcher asked.
Kat was at loss for words. So she just leaned in and kissed Fletcher, hoping his lips will give her the courage to say yes. When they departed from the kiss Kat smiled. "Yes." Kat said. Kat stood up as Fletcher placed the ring on his fiancé's finger. The audience cheered.
"Well I would like on behalf of everyone here and everyone watching at home, congratulations" Fedorian said. "Have a good night Panem. May the odds be ever in this couple's favor!"
Kat and Fletcher walked off stage, hand in hand. They were greated by an obviously angry group of people. In front of this group, were Kat's parents.
''Go ahead, give me shit.'' Kat said. ''I'm still marrying him either way.'' Kat said, holding out her ringed finger. Her mother sighed, looking down at the floor.
''I had you when I was around your age, and I'm still not married. I have no right to be mad.'' Johanna looked up, as did Gale, Kat, and Fletcher. But unlike Gale, Kat and Fletcher had a much happier look on their face. Kat hugged her mother.
''I'm so sorry.'' Kat whispered in her mother's ear.
''It's okay.'' Johanna whispered. Fletcher rubbed Kat's back. Kat smiled at her mother as she broke from the hug. She looked over at her father.
''Is it okay daddy?'' Kat asked. Gale sighed, rolling his eyes.
''Your finace was alot smarter than I was.'' Gale said, looking at Johanna. ''So yes, it's okay.'' Gale looked at his daughter, and smiled as Kat's eyes lit up. Kat hugged her Father.
''Are you and Kats mom ever going to get married?'' Fletcher asked. Johanna looked down at the floor, as did Gale. Johanna gave Gale a look.
''I don't know, Fletcher.'' Gale said. Johanna looked disapointed. Gale looked over at Johanna.
''Ask her now.'' Gale saw Katniss mouth from the distance. Gale nodded his head and place his finger under Johanna's chin, pulling it up so she was looking at him. He placed a kiss on her lips. ''Johanna Mason, will you marry me?'' Gale asked suddenly.
Johanna sighed, ''I don't think right now is a good time.'' Johanna began to walk out the door. Gale sighed, giving Katniss a dirty look. Katniss looked down at the floor. Gale rolled his eyes, he stormed in front of Johanna, placing another kiss on Johanna's lips.
''How is it whenever I ask, it's never a good time?'' Gale asked.
''Because our daughter is about to go into the Games!'' Johanna said angrily. ''Maybe if you would of asked after the girls were born, then I would of said yes. But I just have a lot on my mind right now.'' Johanna explained, trying to push Gale out of her way. Gale restricted her in place.
''I'm not letting you go until you say you'll marry me. I've wanted to marry you for 20 years, your saying yes this time!'' Gale shouted. Johanna was taken aback by Gales determination. A tear rolled down Gale's face. Johanna smiled, nodding her head.
''I'll marry you then.'' Johanna smiled. Gale's eyes went wide. He pulled her into a hug. The rest of the group all just stood there awkwardly. Johanna smiled.
''I'm getting married, and all you people just stand there?'' Johanna joked. The group of people joined in on the hug.
''Let's get out of here.'' Fletcher whispered in Kat's ear. She nodded her head, slipping through the back door with him. She hadn't let go of her hand for at least an hour now. Fletcher smiled as he walked behind the building.
''Where are we going?'' Kat asked.
''We're going to go get married.'' Fletcher smiled.
''What?'' Kat asked.
''I want to marry you now.'' Fletcher said excitedly.
''But that will make me a bigger target.'' Kat said, scared.
''Your the strongest player, you were already the biggest target.'' Fletcher explained. Kat rolled her eyes, but then nodded her head.
''Let's go get married.'' Kat gave in.
The couple walked to a train, deciding to ride all the way to district 13 to get married. They made a stop at District 7 deciding to meet up with their parents the night before, who had been on their way back the night before.
"Are you sure you want to get married now?" Johanna asked, looking through dress racks.
Kat nodded her head.
"But won't this just make you a bigger target?" Annie asked, pulling out a dress to show Kat. Kat shook her head at the dress.
"Yeah, but I was already the biggest target before." Kat said, she pulled out a long white organza dress, with roses and crystals. "I want this one." Kat said.
"That was fast." Lavinia said.
"Now bridesmades dresses!" Annie Rose said excited.
"Maybe while we're at the courthouse, your father and I should get married. You are leaving in a day, this may be the last time I see you alive." Johanna said, holding back tears. Kat wasn't as emotionally strong, for she was already sobbing.
"I'm going to come back, I promise." Kat hugged her mother.
''How do you know?'' Johanna whispered in her daughters ear. Kat departed from their hug, continuing to look through the wedding dress racks.
''I don't.'' Kat said, forcing a simple white wedding dress into her mothers grasp. ''This dress is really pretty.'' Kat smiled. Johanna smiled.
''It is really pretty.'' Katniss walked over to them. Over the past few days, Kat and Katniss had said about a total of 10 words to each other.
''Which one?'' Annie Rose asked.
''Both of them, but I like Kat's better. It was something your mother would have worn at your age.'' Katniss said to Annie, even though she was looking in Kat's direction. Johanna smiled.
''You know, I'm going to need a maid of honor.'' Johanna said to Katniss. Katniss shook her head.
''What about Annie?'' Katniss asked.
''She is the godmother of my children, she doesn't need to be my maid of honor.'' Johanna smiled, as did Katniss. ''So will you be my maid of honor?'' Johanna asked. Katniss smiled.
''Of course.'' Katniss smiled.
''Do you want me to try this dress on?'' Kat asked her mother. Johanna looked down at her watch and sighed.
''We don't have enough time.'' Johanna sighed.
''But we still havent decided on our bridesmaid dresses.'' Annie Rose complained.
''Or who Kat's maid of honor is.'' Katniss said.
''It's probabbly her sister.'' Lavinia rolled her eyes. Kat pretended not to notice Lavinia's sarcasam. Instead, she smiled at Lavinia.
''I want Lavinia as my maid of honor.'' Kat smirked. Lavinia looked up in disbelief.
''Me?' Lavinia asked. Kat nodded her head.
''But your sister-'' Lavinia said
''I don't mind, as long I get to choose the bridesmaid dress.'' Annie Rose asked.
''But we don't have time.'' Johanna said.
''We'll make time.'' Kat said, walking over to the bridesmaid dresses. The girls looked through what seemed like hundreds of dresses, finally deciding on a strapless red dress for Lavinia, and a one strapped orange dress for Annie Rose.
''We have to go, now!'' Johanna pushed the girls out the door after purchasing their dresses.
