A/N: OK, my lovelies, here it is! The epilogue of Life As A Rebel's Child is finally here.
One thing: To do the epilogue how I wanted it, something has changed: I can't remember how many months Katniss is pregnant, but in this chapter, she's nine months, nearly ten, and hasn't had the baby yet:)

Baylyn POV
'Asher, Baylyn, get your butts down here now!' mum yells up the stairs. A strange sense of déjà vu runs through me and I realise this is what she said the day we arrived; only this time, I'm not wearing stupid miniskirts and black lipstick; I'm wearing a pale pink dress that cuts off mid thigh that mum got me for my birthday, and one of Finn's denim jackets that's far too big for me, but I don't care. It smells just like him, the faint smell of the ocean salt and the mint.
I trudge downstairs, completely deflated at the thought of leaving here, where I've been for a year, in an hour.
Finn creeps next to me and hugs me tightly, me wrapping my legs around his waist.
'I love you,' he whispers, and as I snuggle my face further in to his neck, I whisper back,
'I love you too.'
The journey to the train station is filled with a deafening silence, that is awkward and far from comforting.
However, the arrival at the train station is filled with tears and goodbyes and the occasional scream from Misty or Lola, which just makes leaving here harder for everyone.
Katniss POV
We're just saying our final goodbyes when a warm liquid runs down my legs.
'Damn it,' I hiss, 'Peeta.'
I tug his arm so his ear is next to my lips and say,
'My water just broke.'
The next hour or two is complete and utter chaos, what with us missing the train and running back to the truck, driving like madmen to the District Four hospital. Misty is crying from the sudden change in direction and the rest of the kids look bewildered, apart from Bay and Finn, who are cuddled together and grinning.
They look so happy to be with each other.
Peeta POV
When we get to the hospital and get Kat in to a room, with all the kids and adults apart from me in the waiting room, she instantly grabs my hand.
'Peeta,' she whimpers, 'It hurts. A lot.'
'I know, baby, I know.'
And as the contractions carry on, her grip on my hand gets tighter and tighter, till I'm joining her gritting my teeth to get through the pain.
The first twin comes out with a little tuft of blonde hair and such striking blue eyes, I know that they're not going to change colour. When Kat holds her, pure love in her eyes, we both know that this one would be little Ella.
Ella has barely 15 minutes with her mum before her sister decides to make an appearance. Evelyn has a tuft of brown hair and darker blue eyes than her sister, so we know they're going to change to grey. She'll look just like Katniss, which is all I'd ever want.
Baylyn POV (again)
After about 45 minutes of waiting, the doctor allows us in. My and dad sit on the hospital bed with the twins, both of the babies wrapped in little pink blankets.
Dad tells me to sit and then he hands me one, with brown hair and deep blue eyes.
'This one's Evelyn,' he whispers, before sitting with mum again. Finn walks over to me and I tell him what my dad just told me. He grins.
'Hello, Evelyn Laurel Mellark. This is your big sister, and she's the best thing in the world. Apart from me, of course,' he kids, striking a pose. Evelyn's eyes light up and the corner of her mouth turn up, not quite a smile but nearly.
'You make sure you look after her for me, yeah?' he whispers to Evelyn, and she moves her head slightly, like she's nodding.
I look around the hospital, all of us together, plus Ella and Evelyn. This is how we're meant to be, together, as one big family.
This is our family.
A/N: This story is finished! I don't think I'm going to do a sequel but if loads of people want one then I might:) Thank you all for sticking with me!
