"Do I have to let him know? It's not like he calls me every day or even try to stay in contact. Maybe he doesn't want to hear about me anymore. And it's not like we're getting married next week." Actually we still hadn't pick out a date, and I was perfectly happy with that. I don't want to get married to soon and just want to enjoy being Peeta's fiancé for a while more. But on the other hand, with everything we've been trough I don't want to wait too. Maybe I should just let Peeta pick out a date. "Well he's still one of your closes friends, even if you don't really see him anymore. I'm sure he would like to know." Rr, I hate it. Peeta is so good with words, he can let you do anything he wants. "So how do I tell him? Do I call him or do I just write him a letter?" Almost everyone knows were engaged. Annie was so glad to hear about it. She also told me about her little baby boy. Nick Odair was growing up so fast it was insane. She called him after his father. I really wanted to pay her a visit, but I still couldn't leave the district. Peeta and Dr Aurelius were working on that. Dr Aurelius said it was all going in a good direction and that I should just wait a few more weeks. "I think a phone call would be better than just send him a letter. Why don't you just call him now?" I have no idea on how Gale is going to react. But what's the worst thing that could actually happen? That he doesn't speak to me ever again… . "Okay, I'll call him." I say before giving my handsome fiancé a kiss. "It's for good luck" I told him. He smiled and I was heading into the study room so I could call him in a quiet room.

Last thing I had heard from Gale was that he was still working in district 2. After a few deep breathe I took the phone and enter his phone number. Maybe he wasn't going to answer. After a few rings he answered the phone. " Hallo, Gale Hawthorne speaking." I recognize his voice immediately. It was so familiar. "Hey Gale, it's me Katniss." Rr, why does that sounds so goofy! "Catnip! It's great to hear you! I wanted to call you but I'm so busy lately. How are you doing? How is Peeta doing?" I've no idea on how to tell him that. "We're doing fine. And you, still that much work? Is my mom still in your district? I tried to call her but I couldn't reach her." Actually it wasn't really me that called. It was Peeta, he wanted to tell her before we told other people. "Actually no, she left a month ago. I think she's in district 4 now. She didn't call you? So it's still we? You and Peeta, I'm happy for you two guys." Mom left without even telling me about it! Well I knew we were both having a bad time now but that's sound more like if she just completely abandoned me. I was in shock. My mom just left without even telling me, I hadn't heard from her in months. "Catnip? You're still there?" "Yes, yes sorry. I was thinking about something. Euh, yes it's still we. Actually that's what I was calling about." And before I could even just finish my sentence "You got engaged?" how do they do that! How come that Gale and Peeta always know what I'm going to say? "Yes, we got engaged." No answer for like two seconds. "That's great, I'm really happy for you guys! Really so when is the wedding? I'm invited right? Right? Catnip?" Wow, he's actually did sounded happy for us. "We didn't really pick out a date yet. But I'm in no hurry you know. So it could take some time before we actually do get married. And when we do, you'll be on the guest list."The thought of Gale at my wedding made me happy and nervous. But he said he was happy for us so it will be alright. We talked for a few more minutes when he was called away.

"And what did he said?" Peeta asked when I came back in the kitchen. "He said that we better invite him at the wedding. He said he was happy for us." I bet the look on my face warned Peeta that something was wrong. "And that's all he said?" He said while he stopped kneading his dough and walked towards me with flour all over him. "Well we did talk about little thing, but they weren't really that important." Common stop looking at me that way. "So why are you upset then?" When he doesn't finish my sentences he's reading my like an open book. "Well I asked him about my mom. You know asked if everything was okay because she didn't answer phone calls." I crab a glass of water before I continue. When I'm upset I always get thirsty. "So I asked him if everything was okay, and he told me she moved out of district two and went into district 4. Can you believe she didn't even bother to tell me she moved out!" I said putting my glass of water with I little bit too much strength back on the table. Water splashed all over the room and I took a towel to clean up my mess. "Common, calm down sweetie. I'm sure she has a good explanation for it. Maybe her phone wasn't working." He took my in his arms and stroke my back with his hands. "Well than she could ask Gale if she could borrow his or someone else's. She just didn't want me to know." Not knowing what to say anymore we just stood there in the kitchen in each other's arms while he was rubbing my back.

I don't care about my mom not telling me she moved anymore. I thought about it and I came to the conclusion that without Prim, we're not a family anymore. I have a new family now. Peeta, Haymitch and I, our own kind of strange family. A family of survivors. We're always there for each other. I can always count on them, yes even on Haymitch, and they can count on me. Peeta and I protect each other, that's what we do, did and will do for the rest of our lives. And Haymitch did his best to protect us too. And that's important. Family for me is the people that you love and loves you back. I think Annie is kind of family for me too. Even Johanna, we stay in touch with her and we called now and then. She has met someone and she sounds happy now. Haymitch is doing really good with his new hobby. He's selling his sculpture for a good price and with the money he gets from it he make new once. He good buy more wood with the pay he stills get for being a hunger games victor but he said he feels better when the money doesn't come from that. He Peeta a wooden cupcake to put in his bakery once ready to be open. The bakery is now almost done. They are almost done building it and Peeta is so excited about it, now it's like his baking all day to be sure he'll be ready when he'll open it. Not that he need practice at all! I hunt now I still can. Soon summer will be over and I won't be able to hunt again for some times. I still have a few months to hunt, but once its winter I'll have to find something else to do.
