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 31

The night lights were like something he had never seen. They climbed the mountain, right to the top, using the elevator. Mackenzie got a bit cold so he brought a big hot chocolate while his dad wasn't looking. His dad just shook his head smiling. Mackenzie sipped a bit and held it up to him. His dad brought his own and they found a good rock. "Daddy?" He stopped drinking.

"Hmm?" His dad asked, looked at Mackenzie, Mackenzie looked over the city. "I love you." He said sipping the drink some more. "Well I love you too." Mackenzie leaned on his dad just as the first light ripped through the sky. His dad was warm. Mackenzie closed his eyes, suddenly a bit tired.

"Mackenzie?" His stirred, looking up. "You should watch this. We might not be able to see it for a while." Mackenzie frowned and sat up. "What do you mean?" His dad looked him in the eye. "I got offered a job in District 1, they want be to be the treasurer, why they think I'll be good at that I don't know, but now that it's just us. I was hoping you'd like to come with me." Mackenzie looked at his dad, not understanding.

"Leave the district? Like a holiday?"

"Like to live, Zee-zee, just you and me, and it'll be easier to avoid Rian."

"But…but…mummy lives in district 2!" His dad's eyes saddened. He nodded. "Yes, she does." Mackenzie looked at his dad for a bit. Then looked at the city, "I can't live with mummy now right? But will I get to see her? Like on the holidays? If it's like that, then we can go." His dad smiled slightly. "I don't care what they say, you're a good kid, Zee-zee, my good kid."
