Chapter 17: Annie

Months Later

"Finnick," I breathe in the middle of the night. "Finnick,"

He shoots up, and slides his arm around me, "what is it?"

"Somethings wrong, with the babies," my breath quickens and I don't know what's happening.

"Annie," his eyes widen, "I think. . . I think your water broke,"

I can't say anything because at this point I'm in his arms. We're down the stairs and outside, and before I know it he's running. Somewhere. Turns out I'm in the hospital within seconds, on a gurney.

"She's two months early," Ms. Everdeen says. "Has she been stressed?"

Finnick nods, "You have no idea."

"We can do this, I've seen worse." Ms. Everdeen says.

Ms. Everdeen and some other doctors and nurses wheel me into a room with Finnick hanging onto my hand, I'm in pain but it hurts so bad that I can barely feel it. I know it doesn't make since, but that's how it feels.

Maggie

I get out of bed and knock on Darius's door. It's night but I just can't sleep. I saw my mom and dad rush to the hospital, and I could've gone I just honestly didn't want to see "the miracle of life" I mean, ew. That's my mom I really don't need to watch. I knew she'd be okay, the babies too even though they're over a month early. And me being there may bring down the mood, although I have gotten better. I really have.

He opens the door, his hair is all messed up and he's only wearing pants. I blush a little.

"You okay Maggie?" He asks, his voice a little groggy.

"Yeah I just couldn't sleep, I didn't know if I could..." I trail off, i honestly don't know what I want from him right now.

"Just come in here," he smiles, pulling me into his warm arms.

"Don't have to tell me twice," I mumble with a small grin forming on my lips.

"I love you Maggie, you know that?"

"I know that," I smile, I stand up on my toes to kiss him. "I love you too."

"I know," he grins and I laugh before he kisses me. "I'm suddenly very awake,"

"Me too."

"I just want to kiss you," he says.

I wrap my arms around his neck, "I won't stop you."

And he smiles, and kisses me.

Finnick

Both babies are okay, a boy and a girl. They're just being treated for their size, although they're really not that small for being premies.

"Alexa's going to come now," Annie says.

"No she won't, how's she supposed to know you went into labor early?" I ask.

"I don't know how I know I just know."

"Relax, okay? I promise nothing's gonna happen to you me or our kids."

Annie nods and lays her head on my chest, "Can you just kill her already?"

"I will," I nod. "We're gonna go home with our babies soon, and I'm not sleeping without a trident in my right hand and a sword in my left, and the first bump in the night I here is the moment I jump down the stairs and stab her sorry a-"

"How's everything in here?" Ms. Everdeen asks.

"Fine," Annie says with a small smile. "Thanks again, this time we needed you the most."

"Oh anytime. Your kids are going to be just fine. They're both beautiful, of course."

Annie and I smile a little and Ms. Everdeen leaves.

"I promise Annie, Alexa will be taken care of. One way or another."

She nods, and her hand squeezes mine.
