Naomi went back home, the train ride was sad, the time she was on it before was with her brother, but she thought he would be returning without her in that moments. She didn't think it would be so hard, because she thought if anyone was going to make it, it was going to be him. She thought she probably wouldn't ever see Peeta again, he'd either stay in the Capitol or go back to District Twelve and forget all about her, but she would never forget him.
She still kept the necklace. The pearl would be with her always.
Annie came back with her, so she wasn't alone. They both needed each other, they were all they really had left. They got back home, finding it to feel a lot more empty without his presence wandering around the house. He had saved her before, but she still wasn't aware, all she had was a scar left on her head to prove it. Without him, she wouldn't be alive.
His bedroom was untouched, still the way it was left before, she teared up a little as she wandered inside it. Finding his trident leaned up against the wall, she choked back her sobs. The shelves were lined with pictures of them both, Mags too. She couldn't believe they were both gone.
"Naomi?" Annie spoke, she turned to face her, wiping away her tears. "Sorry..," she said to Annie, "I-I um... I didn't expect this to be so hard," she sniffled. Annie opened her arms, Naomi walked over to her and hugged into her, "It's hard for me too. But we'll be okay,"
"I hope you're right,"
She let go, "I have news..," Annie said, Naomi wiped away the rest of her tears, "Go on," she told her.
"I'm pregnant," the red headed girl told her as she began to cry as well, "That's wonderful, Annie. How long have you known..," "I knew not long after we got married, but I never got the chance to tell him. But i'll still have a piece of him with me. I'm so glad..," she told Naomi, "I'm so happy for you," she said as she hugged her again, "I just wish he was here for this," "Me too..,"
"I'll make dinner for us.. to celebrate," "That would be nice," Annie told her, "I'll go get some stuff, and I'll be back soon. It might help me clear my head too..,"
Annie rubbed her back before letting her go from her grasp, Naomi gathered her coat and spear before heading outside, she walked to the beach. Breathing in the fresh air, the smell of the seaweed, bringing it all back to her. She and Finnick's childhood was all around her in District Four. Finnick would always be with her. Near the sea, with Annie, by herself. He'd always be near her, looking over her.
She watched as the sun began to set, she caught some fish for her and Annie before heading back home.
A few weeks passed by, she'd continue doing this every day. Going to catch some fish, get some extra groceries along the way before heading home to cook for Annie and her. It kept her occupied. At least she was doing things to keep herself going.
