Finding the Missing Piece: Book 3

Chapter Forty-Seven

Katniss POV-

"Finnick!" Annie calls as we walk through the door.

"Peeta!" I call after her.

We get no response but walk into the kitchen to find them playing a hardcore session of Candy Land at the kitchen table.

I scoff, "Finally got someone to play that dumb game with you, did you?" I ask Finnick, wrapping my arms around Peeta's neck from behind.

Peeta smiles and looks up at me, "I tried not to give in but just look at that charm." Peeta says, pointing towards Finnick.

I look over and Finnick gives me a huge cheesy smile and I laugh, "You two, I swear."

Peeta and Finnick both laugh and continue the game, "Ann, did you get our baby some more food?" Finnick asks Annie and rubs her belly.

She gives me a look and smiles, "Yeah, I did."

"Where did you go? You weren't gone long." Peeta says and my heart drops.

I look to Annie and she looks at me, "Oh, I took her to a diner. We just got a few donuts and left."

Peeta nods and so does Finnick, "Hm, that's good." Peeta murmurs.

"Yeah, well, you two idiots finish your game and then come join your wives in the living room and we can hang out." I say.

Peeta turns around and gives me a sugar sweet smile, "I love you, Katniss."

"I love you too and you're still not getting a kiss."

Finnick scoffs and then Peeta shoots him some sort of look and Finnick perks back up, "But Katniss, look at that handsome face. How could you not kiss that?" He says and I look to Peeta who gives me the same cheesy smile Finnick had, minutes before.

"Nope. Not happening for awhile. Your payback is coming soon, Finnick." I say walking out and Annie follows.

She gives me a 'You're gonna get in trouble' look and I return it with a 'I'm screwed' look.

Annie and I take a seat on the couch, "Are you gonna tell him about it?" She murmurs.

I shrug, "He saw right through that. He is going to find out anyways. I'll do it after you guys leave tomorrow morning. He is either going to be mad or blow it off as nothing but I was playing it easy when I said he wouldn't be mad because I'm pretty sure he will be." I admit to her.

"Yeah, Kat. I mean you said he's basically cutting them off. He will probably be mad that you put yourself into a situation like that. I don't know. Besides, what did his dad have to tell you anyways?" Annie says.

"You can't tell anyone but Peeta's dad is filing for a divorce." I whisper in her ear.

Her eyes widen, "Are you going to tell him?"

"I guess it depends on how mad he is." I shrug my shoulders.

"I think that is potentially great news."

I sigh, "I think so too but he's really hurt."

"I would let his father tell him then."

"That's my plan."

She gives me a sad smile, "It'll all work out."

"So, how are you feeling today?" I ask, wanting to quit talking about it.

She looks miserable but I need to ask her and I needed to change the subject.

"I'm tired. I hate being fat and hot and not being able to get off the couch without a lot of effort." She says, rolling her eyes.
