It was a sunny and hot afternoon in District 4. I could smell the sea breeze around me as I sat on the sand. I saw my little boy running across the beach. His little feet ran back to me.

"Mommy! Mommy!" he said, bringing me a sea star. "Look what I found!"

I hugged him. "Do you know what's that, Triton?"

He examined the sea star, trying to figure out what was it. "I don't know, Mommy," he said eventually, staring at me curiously. "What is it?"

"It's a star," I told him. "A sea star."

"Star? Wow! Like those in the night sky, Mom?"

"Yes, but this one's in the sea, not in the sky," I told him, smiling.

He stared at his star for a while, then handed it to me. "It's for you, Mommy," he said. "Someday I'll take you one of those in the sky. But for now, I'll give you this one. You're my star, Mommy." He kissed my cheek.

A happy tear fell from my left eye. I kissed his chubby cheeks. "Thank you, Triton. You're my star too, little boy. I love you."

"I love you too, Mommy," he hugged me.

I felt a touch on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Katniss and Peeta. "Katniss? Peeta?"

"Hi, Annie!" they greeted me.

It turned out Snow was wrong, it was only 2 of the 451 team died from the gas but others survived. Katniss told me after she got back from the war, that they were hiding in several places until they found an underground ditch. Finnick and a Thirteen citizen was killed because they protected others from the mutts. I was so shocked when she told me this because that's what happened in my dream, too.

"How are you?" Katniss asked me.

"I'm fine, Katniss. Thank you," I told her. "So, you two get back together?"

Peeta cuddled Katniss and kissed her. "We do."

"Who are they, Mommy?" Triton asked curiously.

"They are your daddy and my friends," I told Triton. "Here's Uncle Peeta and Aunt Katniss."

"Hey, little man!" Peeta greeted him. Katniss smiled and sat next to me.

"What brings you here, Katniss, Peeta?" I asked them.

Katniss answered, "We found a video Finnick recorded during the war, Annie. Do you want to watch it? He addressed it to you."

We immediately went to my house and played the video. I hugged Triton while watching it.

"Hi, Annie," I saw Finnick in his 451 uniform. "How are you, Honey? I've missed you so much!"

A tear fell from my eye. I missed you too, Finnick.

"I decided to record a video and send it to you," Finnick continued. "I'm doing fine here and I hope you are too. I'm sorry I can't be there to wipe your tears, to make your nightmares go away, and to always be by your side. But don't worry about me, Annie. I'll be just fine. Stay happy and safe while I'm gone. Don't stop smiling, it looks good on you. Every time you miss me, just look at the stars. I'll be doing the same thing when I miss you."

I started to cry softly as he continued, "Even though I wouldn't be there again to help you go through the day, Annie, I hope you'll still be who you really are. My Annie who always smiles, my Annie who always happy. Don't lose hope and continue living your life the fullest. Please look after my heart, Annie. I've left it with you. I promise I will always look after yours. I love you, Annie."

"Now and forever," I said softly at the same time he did. I wiped away my tears as the video ended.

Triton looked curiously at me. "Was that Daddy, Mommy?"

"Yes," I told him. "That was your Daddy."

"Where's he now?"

"He's watching us from Heaven," I said. "From up above."

He stared at the ceilings. "Daddy, wherever you are now, I promise I will keep Mommy safe. I love you, Daddy!"

I ran to him and hugged him tightly. Suddenly, the wind was blowing around us and I could hear Finnick whispered softly, "I love you too."

"Now and forever," I replied softly, kissing Triton.

The End
