"Cor!" The woman turned around to see her former mentor jogging to her. "Don't run you're pregnant." Cordelia scolded causing Reign to laugh. "Can you believe in one month I'll be running with a baby in my arms." Cordelia smiled. "You deserve it." Reign gave her a small sad smile. "You too."
"As long as Snow is around I won't be able to." The two women walked in silence. "Gina said Annie has made big progress and wanted to arrange a dinner to prove it, it's today before the Quarter Quell viewing." Cordelia nodded. The Quarter Quell right after what happened with the Victors from twelve, it's scary.
"Let's go." Reign said pulling her from the beach towards Victor Village. "Cor!" The two smiled at Lux. "Hey love." He kissed Reign. "I'm your little sister don't do that in front of me." Cordelia said making a disgusted face. "What? This?" He leaned in to kiss his wife again. "EW!" Cordelia screamed running away.
"What happened?" Jonah asked seeing Cordelia run into the house. "Your brother is romancing his wife in front of me." Jonah rolled his eyes at his sister's words. Melody raised an eyebrow walking into the living room. "What's wrong?" Jonah smirked. "You're darling sister is disgusted by your older brothers sign of affection."
Regina who'd left the kitchen to greet her siblings laughed. "Cor don't you kiss Finn?" As if planned Finnick enter the house. "My love," and gave Cordelia a quick peck. "EW! DISGUSTING!" Lux screamed having followed after the Odair. "Shut up Lux!" Jeraco Kane smiled at the house full. His eldest Lux Kane with his wife Regina Kane nee' Flanagan. Melody Kane his second oldest. Jonah Kane his third oldest. Cordelia Kane his fourth and her fiancée Finnick Odair who was more of a son than anything else. Regina Kane and her fiancée Annie Cresta his new family was big loud and dysfunctional but beautiful.
"Just you wait I'm gonna tell Mags." Lux threatened. "She's my in-law she'll take my side." He added. "She likes me more!" Finnick rolled his eyes at the scene. "Welcome." Everyone shut up hearing Annie. "Sunshine." Annie smiled making her way to Cordelia for a hug. "How are you?" Annie pulled away still smiling. "I'm good, how about you sunshine?" The group drifted off into different conversations happy to have a get together.
"God all the dresses are hideous." Jonah laughed as Melody criticized every dress Katniss tried on. "Hey Cor that looks like the dress you wore for your interview." The woman turned to see a wedding dress almost identical to the white seashell ruffle dress she'd worn for her first interview. "She looks hideous." Annie slapped Regina on the shoulder. "That's not nice."
Cordelia ignored the bullshit about the Hunger Games, ready to go home and rest. "We honor our third Quarter Quell. As a reminder to the rebels even the strongest of them can't overcome the power of the Capitol. The tributes will be reaped from the existing pool of Victors." Annie screamed, Lux slid down the wall and Finnick unwrapped his arms from around Cordelia's waist. "No matter age or health." Cordelia made eye contact with Reign the older woman putting a hand on her stomach.
Cordelia ran out of the Cresta house ignoring everyone else and making her way to the beach till she found herself running into the water. She fell to the ground allowing the waves to reach her chest and go back as she sobbed. Why she'd listened to Snow done everything he asked. All the Victors had done their part and now because of Katniss Everdeen they all had to pay. She didn't know how long she sat there till Finnick picked her up and carried her back to their house. All she knew is she'd stopped crying by then. Finnick sat her on the low table in front of their bed. "My love, can you change or do you want me to do it for you."
Cordelia shook her head and motioned for him to come closer. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he pulled her forward. She wrapped her legs around his torso. "You're shivering." He chided. Cordelia stayed quiet as he carried her to the bathroom and set her on the counter. He started the shower and lifted her shirt off her and reached for her bra only to be stopped by her lifting his shirt. She then slid off the counter and rested her head against his chest. He held her in silence not sure what to say.
