Hey guys so I'm a little new to wattpad soooo I don't own any of these characters all rights go to Susan Collins
After being in the meadow with Peeta, Melody our now seven year old daughter, and Patrick our three year old son.
"Peeta...?" I ask
"Yeah?" He answers
"Do you ever think that the capitol will bring the games back" I ask holding back tears, watching Melody tackle her younger, yet strong brother. He flips her over and she lands on her back. I let out a chuckle.
"Of course I do," he says grabbing my hand," but that is all behind us, don't think about the past but look at our children."
I take his advice and look ever so slightly, but all I see is Melody trying to kill her brother!!! I close my eyes and try to get through the flash back. Peeta is holding me in his arms saying," Katniss it's ok, Patrick if fine and Melody isn't on top of him anymore... Please Katniss!"
I open my eyes and see Melody and Patrick staring at me. Patrick being the little gentleman he is rushes over to me and says," Mommy, I gonna protec- you!!!" He then pretends to flex his muscles. I giggle.
Look at him with soft eyes," You are so much like your father," I say finally looking up at Peeta. He gives me a small kiss on the cheek and hugs me.
"Group hug!!!!" Melody yells.
That being said, they just tackle Peeta and I. Melody goes straight to Peeta and Patrick does the same to me.
***********************
We are now home and Peeta is making dinner. Melody is in the kitchen helping him bye setting the table. Patrick keeps running with his cute crayons in his hands.
"Dinner is ready!!!" I hear Peeta yell from the kitchen.
I take Patricks hand and walk into the Kitchen. There is on the table some venison I shot yesterday and same ham from one of Peetas pigs.
"Smells yummy" I said licking my lips.
"It is... U know why?" Melody asked.
"No why?" I ask
"Because I helped make it" she says standing up from her chair and puts her hand on her hips.
"Oops, silly me" I say acting dumb.
We finish eating in scilence. Peeta grabs everyone's plate and heads towards the sink, I follow. I help Peeta by drying the dishes and setting him on the counter. About half way through the pile of dishes, Peeta looks at the clock.
"Allright" he says,"time for you two to go get your pajamas on"
"Awwwww do we got to" Patrick whines.
"Yes" Peeta says.
"Ok" he said looking at Melody,"Let's go Melowee" he has called her that since he could talk. He grabs Melodys hand and walks up the stairs. "I will protect you" he whispers thinking we can't hear him.
I turn around towards Peeta and walk back the the sink.
"Ohhh no way" Peeta says," My wife needs her sleep too"
"Really?!?!" I ask
"Yes" he answers,"now up to bed, i will be up in 5 minutes"
I walk slowly up the stairs. I check on Patrick and Melody. Melody isn't in her room and I see her out of the corner of my eye going into her brother room. I tip toe to the door and open it to see Melody wrapped in her brothers small but conferring arms. I stand there as I watch them fall asleep.
