A smile forms on my lips as I listen to Johanna go on and on about how no one should have tried to set her up with Dale. I shake my head a little and think about the little spark that I saw in her eyes that night. The reason why all of us are together right now is because they are helping me set everything up for a party tonight. Rory thought that it would be fun to have a pre-wedding, before our wedding and five days before our wedding. Standing here I shake my head as I hear Katniss laughing at Johanna's words. Johanna puts down the last plate and stares at the two of us. I have to admit, I've laughed at every single word that's come out of Johanna's mouth, but she doesn't know that. She glares at Katniss for a minute, who starts laughing even harder.
"I told you this once and I'm going to tell you this again." Johanna puts on her most intimidating glare and stays focused on Katniss. Even in the light pink strapless dress and white heels, she looks like she could hurt someone and bad. "I don't care if you are knocked up, I'll rip your throat out!"
This makes Katniss laugh even harder and she sits down in one of the chairs. "Johanna, you said that to me while we were in the arena and you never followed through with that. You had many chances to 'rip my throat out', while I was knocked up the first two times. What makes you think that I'm going to take you seriously now?"
"Now you have given me an even better reason to do it now. Before it was just because I didn't like you and couldn't trust you, but now you're meddling with my love life-or lack of a love life." She says and just by the way that she's looking at my sister, anyone would be able to tell that Johanna loves Katniss like a sister. "What? You think that I've gone soft on you and that I can't do it?"
"Oh, I know that you can't do it." Katniss keeps laughing and shakes her head a little. We both watch as Johanna walks over to the chair across from her and sits down. They stare at each other for a few minutes and start to laugh. "You know what? I used to think that our relationship was what it would feel like if I had an older sister, who hated me."
"Hit that right on the head, didn't you?" Johanna laughs and looks over at me. I walk over to the table and sit down in a chair between them. "So...how's the soon to be Mrs. Hawthorne? Getting cold feet?"
"Nope, I'm fine and I can't wait to be married to Rory. Mrs. Hawthorne...Primrose Hawthorne, sounds nice." I say and the other two start laughing. Katniss mumbles something under her breath and starts laughing. "Only five more days and I'm not an Everdeen anymore. Rory is going to get everything set in place that day and told me to not worry about anything. Johanna, having a guy around really is a good thing and they are there to help you."
Johanna starts laughing and shakes her head a little. "Prim, I don't need someone to help me or someone to take care of me. I've been on my own for...years and I've been fine. After everything that's happened Katniss is lucky to be as close to me as she is. They didn't only take my life and sanity away from me, they took everyone that I loved. No one else will ever get that close to me and I don't need anyone. Don't you see that I'm better off on my own?"
"You need a guy! Come on, even I have a guy. Haymitch has Effie, now tell me that you expected that with a straight face." Katniss tells Johanna and I see the smirk forming on her lips. Johanna became a part of the family when she moved to District Twelve and everyone loves her. "I never wanted to get married or have kids, but look at me now. Do you know what changed me?"
"Could it be your husband? He changed your mind about getting married and having children. See? That's why I don't want to get married." She says and she crosses her arms. "I don't want someone to change my mind and someone to have kids with. After everything that's happened...I don't want kids and I don't want a man in my life. So can we all just drop it and leave it at that? I'm happy and I'm okay."
Johanna leaves a few minutes later and Katniss stays with me. We both start laughing as the door closes behind Johanna, neither one of us can believe that she's putting up this strong of a fight. Dale's a nice guy and he really seems to like her. I smile a little as I think about a little "surprise" that we have for Johanna at the wedding. Sighing, I stand up and walk into the house to get the center pieces. Katniss follows me and picks up one of the boxes, she leads me back out to the backyard. The suns shining down on us and I smile as I feel the warmth of it on my skin. I look over at my sister who's starting to show and I can't help but smile. Looking back down I take out one of the center pieces, a small bowl with Primrose's coming out of them. My eyes go wide as I stare at them and my heart starts to melt. Rory planned out this whole party and I'm happy that he did. In five days I'll walk down the aisle carrying these same flowers and I didn't expect him to make them the center pieces.
"Prim? Whoa! Be careful." Katniss' voice comes from behind me and I almost fall over. She smiles at me as I turn around to look at her. The bowl with my flowers are still in my hands and she looks down at them. "Oh, I'm guessing that you didn't know that Rory was going to do that? Looks like you got yourself a Peeta."
A small smile forms on my lips as I shake my head. "No, I have a Rory. There's a big difference and I think that you can see it too. Speaking of Rory and Peeta, where are they? Don't they have the kids with them? Shouldn't they be here by now? I mean, the party is supposed to start in four hours."
"Someone getting a little jumpy? Four hours is a long time, Prim." Katniss tells me and she helps me put the rest of the flowers in the center of the tables. The table clothes have a bright yellow over two white table clothes, the one over the first white one is a clear one with sparkles. "Don't worry, they'll be here soon. Why don't you sit down and we can just relax until the get here?"
I sit down across from my sister and look around the yard. Everything is in place and it all looks perfect, but I need Rory here for it to be perfect. My eyes land on the flowers and my fingers go to my necklace, the one that Rory gave to me. A small smile forms on my lips and I think about our wedding. Shutting my eyes I can imagine it and I know that this is what will make me the happiest. Just knowing that Rory is mine forever makes me happy, the wedding is just a way for us to show everyone else that we are one. Ever since the rebellion I've felt like Rory was mine and that we were one. Now we just have to make it official. Maybe our first kid will have his eyes-actually I hope that all of our kids will have his eyes and the soft side of him.
"Prim? Primrose?" Katniss' voice brings me back to reality and I stare at her for a minute. She looks amused as she sits back in her chair. I stare at her as she starts to laugh and slowly she shakes her head a few times. "Daydreaming already? You've really got it bad."
"What?" I ask her and I remember what I was thinking about just a few minutes ago. Katniss starts laughing even harder and I realize that my eyes must be showing her what I'm thinking about. Rory is the only person that I can think about right now and he's the person that I want beside me right now and forever. "Sorry...what were you talking about Katniss?"
"You're already having the times when you just daze out? Hm...of course I was having those right about now, before I got married to Peeta." She smiles at me and I stare at her, totally confused. Katniss shakes her head a little bit and smiles wider. "Let me guess, you're thinking about what your life will be like with Rory and about your kids. Maybe you are thinking about who they'll look and act like?"
"No..." I say and this makes her laugh again. Wordlessly I stare at her and smile a small smile. Katniss looks back up at me and shakes her head a little. "So what if I have?"
Katniss just shakes her head a little and she tries to hide her smile, but does a terrible job at doing so. "It's normal and its nothing that you have to hide. Trust me, I did that before and after I got married. Sometimes I still do...mostly now, after I find out that I'm pregnant. Do you think that the twins will look alike or no?'
But I don't have time to answer her, because the guys choose that moment to walk into the backyard with the kids. Acacia and Diligo run over to Katniss, they both are jumping up and down. Katniss glares at Peeta and Rory, who are trying to look innocent. I smile as the two kids come running at me and they hug me. Diligo runs off after his sister and Rory walks over to me. Softly he kisses me once on the lips and I push my body right up against his. His arms wrap around me and I look over at my sister. Peeta's arms are wrapped around Katniss as they kiss and I can't help but smile. They are so cute together and I love him as my brother.
"I hope that we are like them after we get married." The words come out of my mouth easily as I snuggle into Rory. His lips press against the top of my head and I sigh. This is where I want to be, in his arms and have him kissing me. "Don't they look so happy?"
"We'll be like them, don't worry about that. So...which one do you want to be?" I start to laugh as I think about his question. Katniss and Peeta level each other out in a weird way, while I don't know what Rory and I do to each other. "Personally, I'd love to be Peeta. What do you think?"
I smile up at him and kiss him. "Why don't we just be Prim and Rory? Peeta's not perfect for me, but you are..."
"Sounds good to me." Rory whispers against my lips and I feel a chill run down my spin as my fingers intertwine with his. "As long as I get you, I'm happy."
And done! Woohoo! I had a lot of fun with that chapter! Time for a party, curiosity of Mr. Rory Hawthorne! What did you think? Like it? Thank you for reading and please leave a review! :D (Hm...who likes the idea of another Dale and Johanna moment? ;D )
