Reborn into the Hunger Games ( Finnick Odair x Male oc)

Chapter 42: Reunited

Chapter 42: Reunited (and It feels so good [LOL])

Rudy POV

The night went by in a blur. I couldn’t get a wink of sleep. My head was constantly thinking about Finnick. During the early morning of the next day, I saw Caspian begin to turn awake from his slumber. 

“Good-morning, my baby boy,” I said.

“Good-morning, Papa,” said Caspian.

I went on to give my son a kiss on his forehead and got him ready for the day. 

“Papa? When is daddy coming back?,” aske Caspian.

“Very soon, sweety. Very Soon,” I said to him.

Caspian was satisfied with my answer, which brought a smile to his face. When I said soon, I meant hopefully we see him some time this morning, hopefully. 

Caspian and I went on ahead with our day. We went out of our quarters to head to the dinning hall to meet up with my parents and Leon once more. We went on to eat breakfast and talk to one another throughout the early morning. However, in the back of my mind, I was thinking, where is Haymitch and when is Finnick getting here?

Every minute that passes just feels like an eternity. I had to keep a brave face for Caspian even though I wanted to worry about Finnick as well as be anxious for his arrival. 

I couldn’t let myself fall into a downward spiral. Where I am at and the time right now was not the place to do so. I had to remain strong for Finnick and Caspian as well as for myself. If I have to be honest, I never liked waiting, but that’s all I could do for now.

Two hours went by in the early morning, without any word about Finnick. I know the priority for these people were Katniss and Peets, but does it look like I give two shits about them. I might sound harsh, but I hardly know everyone here besides my family and Haymitch; and I also hardly know Katniss and Peeta personally. Things might change later on and I will get to know them, but for now I just don’t care about them like I care about Finnick. You can call me a heartless bitch, but that’s okay because I will know where you are coming from. However, I’m just a worried husband and father wondering if his husband is okay and safe. At the end of the day, my son depends on Finnick and I to provide and care for him. There are no replacements for him to have in his life. You might not like or agree with the things that I am saying, but what would you do in my situation? 

I’m not a cruel person, but a logical one. For now, I will only be thinking and worrying about Finnick because he is the most important person to me in this world alongside our son and family. I just missed the person I love the most in the world a lot. I couldn’t have waited even longer to be in his arms once again. 

While in my thoughts of missing Finnick, I was also thinking about what I will allow Finnick to do for the upcoming rebellion. Don’t get me wrong, I will be letting Finnick do his part in the rebellion, but I will be putting my foot down when I think a mission is a suicidal one or not worth the time and his life to do that mission. To be honest, I could care less what others may think of me. I could care even less about president Coin as well and her people. 

My views on President Coin are not a good one. She just rubs me the wrong way. At least, she will be dead in about a year's time from now. 

All these thoughts were going through my thoughts as I watched Caspian play with Leon and watching my parents talking to each other. I could tell that my family were uncomfortable here in district 13 and they have the same line of thinking as me. All that matters is that we are safe here for a while and safe through the remainder of the upcoming civil war. That's all we can ask for as well as being a big old happy family, which is missing one important person.
