Chapter 10- Finnick
"Heya, you're Tomas Gatewood, right?" A green eyed guy walked up to me, "Katniss told me that you were having a really bad time, and I should cheer you up. I am Finnick Odair from the 65th Hunger Games."
"Yeah and say thank you to my cousin." I smiled, "Pleased to meet you Finnick. You're the one from District 4, who got sent that trident?"
Finnick nodded, and a smiled creeped onto his face, "I am. Now, I have to take you to Annie's and mine apartment, so that we can cheer you up."
Before I could say anything, Finnick grabbed my hand and dragged me to his room, where Annie was sitting, shell shocked.
"Annie, you ok?" Finnick asked, putting his arms over his wife (I had been told that they got married recently) and looked down at the thing she was holding. Finnick smiled and kissed Annie on the lips.
"We're going to be parents!" Finnick cried happily, "That is wonderful news."
"I know." Annie smiled, kissing Finnick on the lips.
"Umm, guys?" I asked when I realised that they had forgotten about me.
"Tomas! I'm sorry for forgetting you. We're waiting for everyone else to arrive, but for now, let's begin the party without them!"
A lone fiddler started to play a merry tune on his instrument, and before I realized what was going on, Finnick and Annie grabbed me, and began to dance.
I quickly forgot all my problems, and I smiled. They were succeeding in making me happy, which showed that they cared for me, and also that they were happy themselves- they were going to have a child!
Then we heard knocking on the door. Finnick immediately answered the door, and I saw Louisa, Katniss, Johanna and Mrs Everdeen waiting outside the door.
"Is there any room for a couple more?" Louisa asked quietly, "We want to join in with the party, and we brought food."
"There is room for one more, and the idea of a party is a splendid idea. To celebrate that Tomas and Lukas are alive and well." Finnick smiled, allowing everyone else into the room.
"Hello Katniss, it is nice to see you again." I smiled, "Thank you for rescuing me from the forest."
"That's ok, cousin." Katniss nodded, "My mother told me everything, and I'm still surprised to learn that I have a cousin."
"I think I knew about you before I went to 2, but not 100% sure. My psychologist has been helping me relearn who I am, but the memories don't feel like they belong to me. It still feels like I am watching someone else's life." I replied honestly.
"The cousins are talking, I guess." Johanna sighed, "Katniss' miraculously discovered cousin? He could be a fraud."
"He is not. I hate the Capitol, and so I would not agree to fake my family history. I remember him, so he is my nephew." Mrs Everdeen contradicted Johanna, "Yes, I may not have been the best aunt, but still he is family."
"Can we just drop this and carry on partying?" Louisa asked.
We all showed our agreement, and then we danced, ate food, told funny stories, and celebrated long into the night. At the end of it, I felt happier, as all of these people held a party to cheer me up.
Double Digits!? I never thought I would go on for that long.
Firstly, This chapter is the much needed fluff, as after Chapter 9... The story needed. I am not the best fluff writer, so I apologise.
Secondly, Some characters may be OCC, so I apologise for that as well.
Thirdly, Thank you to everyone who has read, reviewed, favorited or followed this story, and I would love this support to carry on, as it cheers me up.
Forthly, Anyone want any slashing? I will not slash Katniss/Tomas as Katniss will probably get Peeta in this.
Fifthly, Tomas to join Squad 451?
Sixthly, The poll is still up, and looking foward to knowing what everyone would like me to write next.
Seventhly, I must warn you. If I do badly on my mocks, I'm losing accsessto the internet (i.e. my computer will be taken away) until the end of my real exams, which sucks. So, if I don't comment or update for a couple of months, I apologise.
Hopefully, Chapter 11 will be up soon, and looking foward to your comments.
