(Katniss POV)
"Dad, I met mom today and she asked Prim and I to go eat dinner with her is that alright?" He stands up when he hears that I've met mom.
"You what?" I can tell he's a bit angry at me.
"I met mom today." I bite my lip hoping he's not pissed at me.
"How? She's here?" A smile forms on his face. He still loves her and he wants her back but when I tell him she remarried he's going to be so sad.
"Yeah she's here but-" he cuts me off, "but what?" I sigh, contemplating whether I should tell him or not.
"She remarried." his mouth drops open in shock.
He sits back down in his seat and tries his best to think all this through. I see tears in his eyes as it finally sets in.
"You guys can go just give me a minute." I stand there looking at him as he puts his head in his hands
Finally, I walk out of the kitchen and stand behind the wall listening to him crying. What brought my mom to remarry? I thought she loved Dad.
I walk upstairs to my room to give myself a break from the drama to come. He'll want to see her, but I don't think Plutarch will allow it. I would rather my Mom and Dad be back together than Plutarch and my Mom together.
"Hey." I look back to see Prim walking in, holding her stuffed bunny in her hands. I smile at my small sister who wouldn't know why dad would be crying or why I look so sad.
"Hey, wanna go meet mom?" A big smile shines on her face, along with excitement in her eyes.
She nods her head excitedly then she starts jumping up and down. "Yeah! Come on let's go tell Dad." She grabs my hand and tries to pull me but I pull her closer to me.
"No, he knows but he isn't coming." She looks sad but at the same time confused.
"Why not?" I sigh then pick her up and set her in my lap.
"They aren't together anymore so it's just not right." she takes a minute to try to figure out what I'm saying.
"Well, isn't it a great time for them to love each other again?" I shake my head lightly.
"It doesn't work like that." I put her on the ground then start pulling out clothes to wear to the dinner.
"Go pick out something to wear." I mumble then I hear her little feet pattering outside my room.
I don't go full out, dress nicely for the dinner at my mom's house. I wear jeans, a sweater, and my black vans. Prim, on the other hand, wears a small yellow dress that suits her nicely.
"You look beautiful." I pick her up and kiss her cheek lightly.
She giggles lightly then kisses my cheek. "So do you." She shows me a big smile that tells me she isn't just saying that.
"Come on Gale's here."
I put her in the back of the car them sit up front with Gale. "You nervous?" He asks and I shrug my shoulders.
"I'm not nervous I just have a lot of questions and I need to talk to Mom." He nods his head then starts the drive back to Mom's house.
Once we get there, Prim runs inside to greet Mom. I hear Prim's squeals as Mom picks her up and spins her around. I smile at how happy Prim is with Mom.
"Hi, Baby." Mom kisses her on the cheek and holds her close.
"Hi, Momma." Prim hugs her tightly then lets go and grabs her cheeks.
"You're so pretty." I focus my attention away from their reunion and on the man who stands behind the island.
He gives a small smile and a curt nod. "You must be Katniss?" I nod my head then walk over to him and shake his hand.
"Yes, I am."
Mom walks over to us with Prim still in her arms. "I need to talk to you," I say to her and she nods.
She sets Prim down and we go into the back yard for privacy.
I take a deep breath about to speak before we hear the cries of my little sister.

I have many options on why Prim might be crying. I won't tell you guys the options but it'll be a hard choice. 😬
