Twenty Years Later

by Fate's Second Apprentice

Time changes people and places. Twenty years after the revolution Panem is a different place. Watching Peeta and Katniss as they raise their kids as well as Gale in district 2. I'm planning for them to have kids so a bit of teenage romance as well as couple time with Peeta and Katniss because I like to think that even twenty years on they still need each other. Long story!

Chapter 9

He could tell he'd said something wrong because Daddy was looking nerves like the angry woman would hit him, and the silly looking pale man with blonde hair was looking like he'd just eaten a cake that he thought was chocolate but instead it was carrot flavour (shocked). In the corner the ugly – probably crawling with coodies – girl was frowning. "So you are? That's cool. Mummy says you a hero."

"That's right she is. So is your Dad." The tall man said moving over. He knelt down in front of Mackenzie, who looked at him surprised. His eyes looked funny, like…like they were natural. Then Mackenzie looked up at Daddy who rolled his eyes. Mackenzie looked at the tall man again, "Why? Did Daddy do the Hunger Games too?" There was a deep silence.

"No, Mackenzie," Daddy said picking him up, this time he didn't protest. "If Daddy did it, Mummy would have told you already. You're very silly." Then Daddy looked at his Mummy and smiled. "I should go," He glanced at the three people, a little toddler was at the door war to the shack. "It was nice seeing you." Then Daddy put him down and they walked away quickly.

"Daddy…Daddy I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about, I can't believe I let my mother convince me to do that."

"Daddy, don't you like your Mummy?" Daddy smiled and patted his head.

"I love my Mummy, now how about we go home?"

"You mean to dis-tick 2?"

"Yeah…home to district 2."

"Yay!" Mackenzie yelled running a head, "When we get home can I play KRILL?" Daddy looked at him very seriously and said. "No, Mackenzie that's a big kid's game."

"But Daddy! Please! Please! I really wanna play it."

"Gale!" Someone called Daddy's other name, and they both turned around. The angry woman was panting and now she was talking to Daddy. Mackenzie was too far away to hear what she was saying, but she didn't look so angry anymore. Daddy smiled and said, "Cat-nip," which was a funny thing to say and Daddy called Mackenzie over. The woman looked at him and smiled, "Mackenzie Hawthorne, that's a cute name you have there."
