5 years later
" willow mellark come back here!" I yell after the prancing little four year old who insists that running away from me is the most entertaining game she's ever played. Katniss and Peeta both had some errands to do so I said I could take care of their child for a couple of hours. At first Tobias tried to help but, it was quickly clear that Tobias and children do not mix well... Things are very different from 5 years ago, for one thing Tobias and I are now permanently living in Panem and only go back to Chicago a couple times a year. Katniss and Peeta are now happily married with Willow and are soon expecting a baby boy. Gale and Nita are still living in the house next to ours and they too have a child, who's name is Kyle. He's a couple months older that willow so theoretically they could be good playmates exept for the fact that katniss and Peeta are extremely over protective and don't let willow anywhere near Kyle because of their conflict with Gale. It got worse since their wedding... I won't get into details but... Shit happens. Anyways Christina moved to some ther country last year and so did a whole bunch of other people from Chicago, but we all come back 2 times a year for a reunion. Despite not being in factions for more than 5 years now I still have the habit of classifying people into them. Old habits die hard I guess.
" where's mama? " Willow suddenly asks me, starling me out of my thoughts.
" she went shopping, she'll be back soon though sweetie "
I feel a tapping on my shoulder and I turn to see a bright grin with several teeth missing.
" why hello there Kyle, are you looking for you mother?" I ask smiling kindly.
" no I'm looking fow fouw " he says.
A couple months ago Tobias got stuck babysitting Kyle and being the dauntless prodigy he is, he decided Kyle should know how to aim. In dauntless we would have given people knives to throw at a target but given that Kyle was only 3 years old, Tobias
Had to improvise with balls and a bucket. Since then Tobias has organized a sort of less dangerous dauntless initiation. Kyle seems to be really enjoying it.
" I think four is in the house Kyle, do you want me to go get him?"
" yes pwease " he says happily.
" alright then " I say and start walking to my house. " Willow! Come here! " I yell not wanting to leave a four year old alone outside.
" okay auntie tris " she yells running over.
I reach the door to my house. I open the unlocked door and poke my head in, " Tobias! Kyle is looking for you!"
Several minutes later Tobias comes out, Kyle runs at him and jumps on his back.
I feel a sudden tug on my pant leg, I look down only to find two adorable grey eyes looking up at me.
" what is it willow? " I ask the toddler.
" I see mommy" she says happily.
We walk over to katniss and Willow leaps into her arms.
" thanks for watching her tris! " katniss says happily as I walk back to my house
" no problem " I say over my shoulder and walk through the door of our house.
