CHAPTER 26
KATNISS POV
ABOUT 1 WEEK LATER
Willow has become a bit calmer as she's gotten a bit older, she's almost two months old. She now only cries if she's hungry or her nappy needs to be changed and as soon as we pick her up she stops crying. Everyone has kind of kept to themselves lately and I've been avoiding Gale and my mum and I haven't seen each other. Peeta knows I need space but sometimes I think he gives me too much but we are teenagers. We got married at 16 and now have an almost 2 month old daughter just after turning 17.
We've both spoken to Haymitch a little but not very much and he said he would talk to Plutarch but just maybe not clue him in on the part where I said I would kill Coin. We now have had our food brought to us and every meeting Coin has asked us to go to we have refused. I sit her on our bed with Peeta, his arms holding me while my head rests on his shoulder. When a thought comes to me, one I never thought I would think of. "Peeta, do you think we would ever have another child?" I ask. "I don't know, do you want another child?" He asks, I can hear him wanting to burst with joy. "Maybe, not right away but maybe later on. I just don't want Willow to grow up alone, some children without any siblings were arrogant, some rude and some spoilt." I tell him. "Yeah I know." He replies when there is a heavy knock on the door. "I'll get it," I say. I get up and swing the door open to see Boggs. "Can I help you?" I ask him. "You and Peeta are required for a meeting about Snow's execution and some other things. I know you've been avoiding other meetings but this one can't be avoided, if you avoid it you will be in massive trouble and you will have no say in what will happen to Panem." He tells me and I look back at Peeta. "Let's go Katniss and get this over with." He says, he grabs our daughter and we follow Boggs to command.
When we walk everyone's eyes are on us but this is a bigger meeting than usual, once we're seated I take a good look at everyone who's here. Coin, Plutarch, Haymitch, Cressida & her crew, Paylor, Gale & the rest of his family, mum, Rye, Delly (I know she hasn't been mentioned much), Boggs, Finnick, Annie & Johanna. "Well now that we're all here we can begin. We need to decide on what to do about Snow and if we want another Hunger Games. So any suggestions?" Coin asks. "I want to kill Snow, that was part of our condition." I say and she looks at me. "Yes I know. Is there anything else you would like to say?" "Yes, we should vote for one more set of the games or not. I can tell you everyone will have a different opinion." I say. "Ok then, all in favour of a Hunger Games please raise your hand," Coin asks and a number of hands go up. "All against," she says and more hands are raised when Peeta decides to speak. "If we had one more hunger games it would make us as bad as them. They tortured us with this why should we be just as cruel if we don't want the games, it's hypocrisy, but my opinion isn't everyone's." Peeta states and I give him a small smile. "Ok well, in 1 week Snow's execution will be held above ground by the river. Until then meeting adjourned." Coin dismisses us. "Let me take her." I whisper to Peeta and he put's Willow in my arms. Just as we are about to walk out the door I hear Coin's voice once more. "Katniss can I have a word with you, alone?" She asks, I tipping she added the alone because she knew Peeta would stay. "Just wait outside," I whisper to him and I turn back to Coin. "Yes ma'am." I say. "I just wanted to have a chat." She tells me and Willow squirms a little. "Better make it quick, this little is getting hungry." I say. "This will be brief Mrs Mellark. Obviously when Snow is taken down a new leader has to be chosen and I just want to make sure we're on the same page." She says. "What page are we referring to exactly?" Snapping back. "The one where we're on the same side." She says. "I think the feeling between us is mutual," I say. "Is that all Madam?" I ask. "That was all thank you, Katniss." She says with a bit of bitterness in my name. "No thank you, for bringing this together." I say and walk out before more questions were asked.
I think I just put myself into a pot of boiling water.
