Epilogue
Katniss was joined by Haymitch in the hovercraft. Despite their tendency towards animosity, mentor and protégé hugged, the former close to tears. Finally, after 24 years, he was not alone as a victor from District 12.
A week later, as Katniss was on her Victory Tour, a Capitol physician informed her that she was pregnant with twins. But here was the extraordinary part: one had been conceived by semen produced from Peeta's dead corpse. The other had been sired by Thresh in the cave of the arena.
Two babies. From two different races. Sired by two different men Katniss had had feelings for.
Nine months after that, Katniss gave birth to her children: a little white boy and a little mulatto-skinned girl. Katniss named the boy Peeta Thresh Gale Mellark. The girl she named Primrose Rue Okiniwi, jointly after her sister and her old ally.
Trouble soon arrived to challenge Katniss's happiness, however. When the kids were only a month old, President Snow announced that, for the 75th Hunger Games and 3rd Quarter Quell, former Hunger Games victors would be going back into the arena a second time. Katniss and Haymitch, being the only victors from Twelve, had no choice but to compete. Gale Hawthorne watched Katniss's children while she and the old drunk were gone. With the help of some other rebellious tributes, about a quarter of the field managed to destroy and break out of the arena.
Katniss and Haymitch, along with a District 3 victor named Beetee Latier, were spirited away to District 13 underground, where they were reunited with Gale, Prim, Mrs. Everdeen, Primrose Rue and Peeta the Second (Gale had given the boy that nickname). Katniss agreed to lead a rebellion against the Capitol as the Mockingjay. The districts united and won the fight against tyranny. Snow was deposed and a new President was elected democratically.
Mere months later, the Panem media was treated to a wonderful surprise when Katniss and Gale married in a public, romantic ceremony in District 12. A year later (coincidentally on the second birthdays of Primrose Rue and Peeta the Second), a boy was born to the hunting team-turned-married-couple, Gregory Hawthorne.
Together, the couple would raise three kids sired by three different men – men that Katniss had all loved and been loved by in return.
