Cato pov:

"Clo? It's me.. Cat?" i say cautiously. "h-..hi" she stutters out. Her words are quickly silenced by her scratchy voice. "c'mere" i say slowly, she tiptoes over to me with a little stumble here and there. We stand face to face now, a smile curls onto my lips. "i missed you.." i run my fingers through her (still) soft hair. "i missed you too..." the silence in the room is so loud. I lean in to her lips and pause before she grabs my face and smashes our lips together.

She embraces me after about a minute. When i pull back i grab her face. "what have they done to you?" i ask, she shakes her head "i- don't wanna.. talk about it." i pull her into my chest again and her breathing synchronized with mine. "Dash! Where's Dash?!" she asks frantically, "hey cal-" i try and pull her back to me but it's a useless attempt, she rushes out of the room "Dash?! Dash!" she runs right of the room in a paranoid state. As i rush past her; i see Katniss in the hands of a doctor, she's passed out and her face is swollen and green

"wha..." The doctors look at me before rushing her into a room. "Let go of me!" i hear a girl scream, Clove. I sprint at my fastest pace to where her scream is heard. She's being grabbed by 2 peacekeepers and pulled from the window of a room. "get off of her!!!!" i jump onto the peacekeepers and pry their hands off of her. The one i jump on falls back and hits his head on a door knob. The other one; who's grasp is still on Clove, points his gun at me "Settle down." a voice is heard from behind me. I turn and see Plutarch with a smug look on his face.

"Someone open the door!" he looks above him, im gonna assume cameras are planted somewhere up there. The doors slide open and i see her slim body slip into the room. "Well? Go on, meet your son!" he shoos me into the room and when i see him my heart melts. He has dark brown hair, blue eyes and somewhat pale-ish skin. He's wiggling around in Cloves arms. "it's ok baby, mamas here~" she says to him while rocking him from side to side. i creep over to them

"and this is daddy~" she turns her body over to me and he smiles. He tries his hardest to laugh but it only comes out as a funny giggle. She hands him to me and his face lights up. He giggles "hi baby boy, im your daddy!" i tickle his chest as a tear rolls down my face. My family is complete, i've got everything i need. "Clove and Cato!" a voice calls from behind us, we turn and see Jules with her hands linked together.

"oh isn't he just precious!" she slowly walks over to us, her heels clicking loudly on the floor. She caresses his face and he coos at her extraordinary makeup. "You two will be on the train to District 2 in a few minutes! All your stuff is packed away! Then you all finally get to get home!" she claps her hands together rapidly. A sigh of relief leaves my mouth. I finally get to live my life in piece. With my family

I hug Clove and i smile. Finally.

*dang near 1 year later*

Me and Clove have been home for a year. No complications, no nothing. She's gotten better from the Capitol (which she still refuses to tell me about). We're sitting in our living room with the show Bluey on for Dash. He's turned one almost a month ago and he's starting to talk. He's already started walking and might i say he's a pro. "Babe will you watch him? I'll be right back!" Clove asks. She wearing a light pink dress that i bought her a while ago.

"mhm will you bring me back some water it is hot! i think it's cuz your in here!" i wink at her, she stands up and Dash looks to where she's going. "look at Bluey! he's on the tv!" he directs his attention back to the tv where the blue dog is. He smiles widely and claps his hands together. She walks out of the room and i lean back in my chair watching Dash dance along.

"ok baby close your eyes!" she's standing behind me when she yells. I shut my eyes tight as i can feel her presence in front of me. A box is laid in my lap "keep them closed ok?" i nod to myself. "ok now open!" she sits on her knees in front of me with a bright smile. The box is wrapped with a red rainbow. "oh what's this?" i say with a smirk "open it!" i quickly remove the pretty tied bow and open the box. A little onesie sits folded in the box.

"your joking?" my heart starts to race. she's pregnant again. "i'm pregnant!" i shoot up from my seat and lift her with me. I embrace her tightly, "Dashy! Your gonna have a little sibling!" he looks at me with a confused expression. "come here!" he stumbles over to us while clapping his hands together. I lift him up into my arms and take in my picture perfect life. I have my wife, my kids and the perfect environment to live in.

"we need baby names! let's go!" i grab Clove and throw her onto my other hip, before running up our wooden stairs. I rush into me and Cloves room, grabbing a little notebook. "o ready?" Clove sits on the bed with Dash in hand. "how bout you do boys and i do girls?" she nods and even before my pen clicks she's listing names

"astor

i write them all down on our divided page. Half says boy and the other says girl. "ok ready for mine?" she nods excitedly

"julianna

"i love them. i especially like lexa~" i smile at her. I hear the ringing of our phone downstairs "i'll grab it!" Clove says, racing me and Dash down the steps. By the time we reach her she's already answered it. "hello?" she says kindly into the phone "Hey Kat! What's happening?" she giggles through her pin straight teeth "oh..." she looks to me with a worried expression "y-yeah uhm, i've just told him we're pregnant again.." she sounds pretty weiry

"yeah, here he is!" she extends her arm with the phone instructing me to take it. "Hey Katnip! What's goin on?" i say enthusiastically, Clove stands off to the side and she looks like she's about to puke everywhere. "I need some help, back in 13. Me and a few others will be going on a mission to kill Snow. We could use your help" i look back to Clove, who's hand is on her mouth. Her eyes threaten to release the salt water substance

"Hey uh you know we just found out about Clove and another baby.. i wante-" she cuts me off  "i'll give you some time, just call me back a little later ok?" i sigh into the phone "got it," i place the phone back into its holder and pull Clove into a hug "i don't know what to do.." i kiss her forehead and let her tears soak my grey shirt "go.. it'll be better for Dashy, no more Snow, no more games..." she's right, if Snow is dead who else would carry the games on?

"go pack, i'll make you something to eat before you leave.." i nod once more before lowering myself down to her stomach "and i'll see you soon little one, don't give mama to much trouble ok?" Dash runs up behind me "dada!" i look up at Clove "what'd you say Dashy?!" she exclaims to him, he smiles widely "dada!" i swing him up in my arms earning a loud giggle from him "yes i'm your dada! and that's mama!" i point to Clove "ma- ma- mama!" she claps her hands together

"yes mama!" she dances around the living room with him is hand.

I'm complete, finally.
