AN: I've decided I'm going to make this chapter set five months later. So, by now she's probably… umm- six months pregnant or five and a half. She doesn't know, of course! :)

Peeta (Five Months Later)

Katniss and I relax in her bedroom, both of us sitting cross-legged on her bed opposite each other. She'll be trying on wedding dresses later on today and I can tell she's not really excited about it. I thought every girl dreamed about the perfect dress, but Katniss is… Katniss. She doesn't care about all that girly stuff. I think she'd prefer to wear her hunting gear, but I don't think the crazy Capitol would accept that. "Are you nervous?" she suddenly asks and I look at her in confusion.

"Huh?"

"About being a mentor," she explains.

"Oh, yeah. I'm nervous, scared, terrified," I reply and she nods.

"Me too," she says and I look at her in shock… Katniss Everdeen just admitted she was scared. That's a first.

"What?" she asks, noticing my wide-eyed expression and I just shrug.

I open my mouth to reply when Mr. Everdeen walks into the room panting. He catches his breath before saying, "How about us three taking a walk into town?" I furrow my brow in confusion: something's not right.

"Good idea," I reply, deciding I want to know what's up.

Katniss nods and we put our shoes on before we follow Mr. Everdeen out of the big house. We start walking and Katniss breaks the silence. "What happened?" she asks.

"I was in the woods and I heard a noise so I turned around and saw two females- one looks the same age as you, the other an adult. Bonnie and Twill, they said were their names. They were wearing Peacekeeper uniforms that didn't fit them and they looked pale and hungry," he explains.

"Go on," Katniss presses while I stay silent and take in the information.

"They said they were from District 8 and were running away. They asked me, 'Do you know Katniss Everdeen?' that's when I got nervous and pointed my bow at them. I told them you were my daughter and they said they weren't here to harm you or anything. Then they showed me a loaf of bread- it had your Mockingjay on it," he says. "It's a symbol for rebellion. They told me they intended to go to District 13."

"What? But-" Katniss gets cut off by her father.

"I know- there is no District 13 but they explained to me their reasons for at least going to check it out," he pauses to take a deep breath. "Do you know when they show on TV stuff about the dark days and they show a few clips of how District 13 looks today?"

We nod and he carries on talking. "Well, Bonnie and Twill pointed out that they've used the same footage for years. Doesn't that seem a little… suspicious?"

I look over at Katniss and I swear I can see the gears turning in her head.

"And in each footage at the corner of the shot there is always a wing- a Mockingjay wing!" he turns so he's facing us and we stop walking.

"Do think they're right?" I ask.

"Maybe," he shrugs.

I look at Katniss, who seems to be in shock. "What do you think?" I ask. "I don't know WHAT to think. I mean, wouldn't the Capitol have destroyed it again if they found out there were people still alive?" she replies.

"Not if they're living underground," Mr. Everdeen says and I realise that this is all possible. There could still be a District 13.

"Why are you telling us this?" Katniss asks, obviously not liking the news.

"Because Bonnie and Twill believe that there are others that support the rebellion," he says.

I see Katniss's eyes shine. Maybe she's starting to like the new information. "I have to go. Stupid wedding dresses," she says and walks off before we can reply.

I turn to her father. "Does she like the news or not?"

"I think… she has a plan," he replies and I nod, knowing he's probably right.

We walk back to the house but I am kicked out before I can get in. "You are not aloud to see her dresses!" Flavius yells.

"What? Why?" I ask while Mr. Everdeen walks inside his house chuckling.

"Because it's bad luck!" Octavia says.

I roll my eyes and go back to my own house next door. I sit on the couch for a while before deciding to bake some cheese-buns for Katniss. I've been baking for about two hours when I hear two loud knocks on the door. I answer it and find Katniss… with a huge scowl on her face. "Had fun?" I ask and if possible, her scowl deepens.

She storms inside and slams the door shut behind her. "I am never doing that again. My house is probably flooded from my Prep team's tears! Even my mom got teary!" she yells. She stamps into the kitchen, with me on her heel, and as soon as she sees the cheese-buns she shoves one into her mouth.

She jumps onto the kitchen counter and sits cross-legged while eating the bread angrily. "I hate how I have to try on so many dresses. It's my wedding! I want to get a dress I want, that I'll be comfortable in. I don't want to be all fancy just for the Capitol!" she yells.

"Why don't we have a secret wedding here then? You can choose a dress and we can have a small toasting?" I half joke.

To my surprise she actually thinks about the idea, whereas I thought she'd say no as soon as I said it. A small smile spreads across her face and she smiles. "I have an idea," she says and takes my hand, quickly grabs two cheese-buns and then leads me out of the house.

"Where are we going?" I ask but she doesn't answer me and drags me across District 12 until we reach… "The meadow?" I say. It's more of a question, I decide.

"No," she replies, still walking. We arrive in front of the electric fence. "…The woods." I follow her under the gap in the fence, making my jeans and shirt get a little muddy.

She leads me deeper and deeper into the woods before stopping at a lake. "Wow!" I sigh, taking in the sight: The small cabin, the lake, the tall trees, and gorgeous flowers. It's perfect.

"My dad showed me this place when I was eleven," she says, staring at the lake. "I haven't shared it with anyone, but I think I can share it with someone special… someone I love."

She loves me. I feel like jumping for joy, but I don't want to brake the calm and special moment.

I come behind her and wrap my arms around her waist. A part of me expects her to pull away because Katniss is not what I call a 'cuddly person' but she leans her head on my shoulder, turning it slightly so her nose barely touches my jaw. "I want to get married here," she whispers, her breath tickling my neck.

"Who do you want to marry?" I ask, my eyes leaving the lake and settling on her shiny silver orbs.

"You," she replies and presses her lips to mine gently. I smile against her lips and pull away.

"Let's do it," I whisper and she smiles.

She takes my hand again and leads me into the small hut-like cabin. I follow her over to the fireplace and kneel besides her. She starts a fire like an expert and then pulls the two cheese-buns out of her pocket. She grabs two sticks and gives me one. I take a stick and cheese bun off her and slide the stick into the bread.

When the fire is raging I take her right hand in my left. The other hand is occupied with the bread on our sticks. At the same time we lean forward a little and put the bread over the top of the fire. When it turns a dark golden brown colour we remove the bread from the fire and turn to face each other, still holding hands.

I kiss her again before we both guide the sticks to each other's lips. We both take a small bite and pull the sticks away. "Am I dreaming?" I ask and she shakes her head, a huge smile on her lips.

"No," she whispers and I grin. I kiss her one last time before we walk hand-in-hand back to her house in the Victor's Village. We may not be legally married, but it sure feels like we are.

No one feels married in District 12 without having the Toasting and now we've done it- we are married, husband and wife, soul-mates, we are one.

AN: Mushy ending but I had too! :) Please review!
