The war has ended. Panem is free. After the war, Finnick, Finn, and I moved back to district 4. We got a house right next to the shore. Fin has grown out of his ginger hair and now he has hair just like his father's.

Today, Katniss and Peeta are headed to district 4. They have two children, Willow and Rye (found it on a website and they sort of make sense so bare with me) ,they're the most adorable things ever, besides Finn of course.

A: Come on, Finn. We need to get you dressed.
Finn: Why, mommy? I don't wanna get dressed! I wanna swim with daddy!
A: We can swim with daddy tomorrow, I promise.
Finn lifted up his pinky finger and I repeated. We locked our fingers together and he smiled, tackling me in a hug. He put his clothes on and I got dressed as well. As I pulled the fish , that Finnick caught, out of the oven, I felt strong arms wrap around my waist.
F: Hi.
A: Hi.
Finnick kissed my temple. I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. He smiled that beautiful smile of his and pulled me closer to him. Our lips touched with as much passion as our first and every single one in between. That's the thing about our kisses, they never lack passion or love. I brushed my fingers through his wet hair, he had either taken a shower or taken a swim. We were so distracted by our undying love for each other, we didn't even hea the little patters of Finn's feet on our wood floor.
Finn: Ewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!
I quickly let out a giggle and pulled my lips away from Finnick's.
Finn: Gross!!!!!!!!!
Finnick buried his head into my neck as if to act embarrassed. I could feel the smile on his face against my skin and I heard his light chuckles. I pushed Finnick away lightly and walked over to Finn, picking him up.
Finn: You guys are in love! *kissy noises*
I looked over to Finnick and he raised his eyebrows all flirty. I let out a small chuckle.
F: You look very handsome, Finn.
Finn smiled.
Finn: Do I, mommy?
A: Absolutely stunning.
I smiled and he smiled back. Finnick walked up to us and kissed Finn's head.
F: You know who else looks absolutely stunning?
Finn: Who???
F: Mommy.
Finnick looked up at me and winked. I felt my cheeks heat up. Wow, after all these years, he can still make me blush. I put Finn down.
A: You should go fix your hair, Finn.
Finn scurried off and my attention turned to Finnick. He was still looking at me, smirking.
F: Looks like I can still make you blush.
I giggled and he walked toward me.
F: I love you.
He tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear and caressed my cheek.
A: I love you too.
He put his hands on the sides of my faces and kissed me, which I returned. I gripped his arms and smiled into the kiss. The kiss began to deepen, but the door bell rang. We rested our foreheads together and then I went to get the door. There stood Katniss, Peeta, and their children. I invited them in as Katniss placed a loaf of bread on the table. Peeta put Rye down and Rye ran off to find Finn as Willow gave me a big hug. Finnick came over and greeted Peeta and gave Katniss a hug. I hugged both Katniss and Peeta and we sat down at the dining room table.
K: So how are you guys?
A: We're doing great, how are you?
P: We're very good, 12 is doing great as well.
We continued to have a conversation as I went to the kitchen to get the fish. Peeta joined me and cut the loaf of bread he had brought here from 12. The children came running in and we all sat down to eat. I loved this. Dinner with family and friends, just like it was 13 years ago. Before the quarter quell and the rebellion. I thought about Mags, Alistair, Cliff, and Eve. How I wished that they could've met Finn and seen him grow up.
Finn: Mommy, why are you crying?
Finn's soft voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up to him and he had a worried look on his face, as did Finnick. I smiled and wiped the tear that had fell from my eye.
A: Tears of joy, sweetheart. I'm very happy.
Finn's face went from worried to happy. I felt a hand slide into mine and I looked down at my arm. Finnick intertwined his hand with mine and gave me a sympathetic smile. I squeezed his hand and continued.
A: I'm just so happy that all of us are here together. I missed all of you, so much.
Katniss rubbed my back and smiled at me. I could see water welling up in her eyes, she understood. She lost so much, Prim, Cinna, Rue, and Gale. She was honestly the bravest person I have ever met.
P: We will always be together, always.
