Reignition - The 4th hunger games book.

Chapter 5

I decided not to tell Peeta at dinner. The kids were happy, Peeta had a constant grin on his face and even Haymitch was enjoying himself, without drinking. Were all sat around the TV now watching one of the current shows that no doubt Plutarch has created. 'Grand Homes' Its a reality show that follows different houses in the Capitol. All of them are rich of course and are of some high importance to the president. The credits roll up and the theme thune plays.

' Come on kids, Up to bed.' Peeta says whist pulling himself from my side on the sofa.

'Do we have too daddy? Just five more minutes?' Rose says as sweet as possible. She has Peeta wrapped around her little finger, so of course he agrees.

'Okay my little Rosie Rue, just five more minutes, i'm counting' He chuckles. Rose comes and sits inbetween me and Peeta and snuggles down. Cinnus is fast asleep on Peeta.

We all sit in silence as the adverts are on TV. How am I going to tell Peeta? I'll supprise the kids tomorrow, say were going on a trip. Cinnus is too young to really understand and Rosie will just be exited. An advert on TV interupts my thoughts.

'THIS YEAR IS THE 10TH ANNERVERSIRY OFF THE REBELION' the unfamiliar voice booms. 'TO MARK THIS SPECIAL OCCASION WE WILL SEE THE MARRIAGE OF THE MOCKINGJAY' A picture of me and peeta kissing in the cave flashes on the screen.

The voice continues to speak but i just zone out. 'Suprise' I say quietly to Peeta and Haymich who are lookng at me with their mouths hanging open.

'Katniss, what is going on?' Peeta says calmer than I expected.

I explain the call with Plutarch and how our family was in danger. I tell him that I didn't want to spoil his night so I was going to tell him in bed and supprise the kids in the morning. His face grows calmer, I know that he understands but I just feel awful that Peetas dream wedding isn't going to happen. We are going to be the puppets of he Capitol again. Peeta knows that if there were any other way I would take it, But at the moment our children come first, even if we have to exploit them to save them.

Peeta takes the kids up to bed and I sit downstairs with Haymitch.

'We will never get away from it will we?' I say with my head down. I look up to see him shanking his head.

' Its a good job that your a strong person then isn't it sweetheart' He says with a chuckle.

' I'm going to bed Haymitch. Promise me you'll come with us tomorrow? you know how to handle these Capitol people better than anyone.' I say honestly, because Haymitch has helped me cope every time we have been in that god awful place.

' I promise' He says as he stands up, gives me a nod and walks out of the door.

I head up to bed, expecting an angry Peeta. Instead he hugs me fiercely and whispers into my ear, 'We can do this, I'll speak, you just sit in the background and be pretty' He chuckles into my ear and i smile and sway in his arms.
