Chapter 4

"W-W-what?" I stuttered .

" Annie, the people who found me were Capitol politicians they were planning to hold me for ransom."

"B-but I thought all the Snow supporters were dead."

"The president didn't want to worry the citizens." His voice was a low growl now.

" They wanted to hold me for Ransom. There safety, for my life."

"Why didn't they act sooner?" I asked shocked that all this time Finnick had been alive but hidden from me. I was infuriated with these people who took him!

"I kept falling in and out of conscience. They were scared that if I died they would be blamed and executed. It took me 3 months to become stable and another to fully recover. Then word reached them it was Katniss who dropped the bomb, their source was corrupted, leading them to believe it had been ordered by the rebels."

" Finnick!" I spouted hastily, " Katniss did it to give you a honurable death she didn't m-"

"Annie", he cut me of calmly," I know Katniss is one of the few I can trust, I knew these were lies."

He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead before continuing.

" They decided I was useless they needed someone else. I thought they were going to kill me so I acted ill, harmless, weak. I flirted with the main politicians wife. They decided to leave me alone until I died of my injuries. I had to bide my time. Three months was hell not being with you, knowing you thought I was dead, knowing how much pain you were in worried you would do something..." His voice trailed of, I could tell he was scared he'd hurt me. I placed my head I his chest, reassuring him I was fine.

"Then after months of preparing, I layer still on my side holding my breath the Brother of my captor had come with my cold bread like he did every day. He assumed I was dead..." I stopped, examing my face to check I was fine and finally was able to talk again.

"I did some terrible things. Things I haven't done since the games I... Killed him, them I fought for freedom I..."

"You did what you had to" I say firmly looking him directly in the eye. "God knows I'm not perfect either" I manage to murmur out.

"No. The Capitol killed your fellow tributes not you." He kissed me gently on the lips.

" I ran as fast as I could" he carried on. " I saw a Capitol women. She practically screamed when sure saw me. It was like she saw a ghost. I guess she did. They took me here the government talked to me and then they they phoned you."

We were both crying now we had been through so much. We had been forced to kill and fight for are lives and now here we were together. "I love you Finnick Odaire"

"I love you too Annie Odair"

I buried my face back in his neck.

"Maybe now we will be able to have the kids we dreamed of" he laughed quietly and heard the hopeful tint in his voice.

Fin. How could I forget? How could I tell him? He missed a year of his sons life! How could I tell him that.

"Annie what is it?" He asked worriedly. I was sitting upright now.

"Finnick before you left I wanted to tell you something..."

"You said you would tell me when I got back," his voice broke,"because I was coming back."

"Finnick I-I was pregnant"

"A-Annie"

"He's one and amazing! He has your eyes and my hair, and your devilish smile..."

"What's his name?" He was shocked but he was smiling?

"Finnick Jr. Finn for short" I was crying now. So may times I had wished he was there to see our baby boy and now he would be!

"Finn" He explained before hugging me tightly. "Annie I love you so much and I love him too." We were both crying.

"We will finally be a family" I laugh through the tears.

"We already are."
