Katniss's POV Four Years Later..........

I wake slowly to Peeta kissing my neck softly. "Happy Anniversary." He says and I turn over and look at him. I kiss his lips and then I hear Willow running down the hallway. "MOMMY!!!!!! MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY!!!!!!" I put my pillow of my face and she runs in and jumps on my stomach. "Mommy? Are you dead?" "Yes... I must rest in peace." I say and she lifts my pillow off my face and kisses my four head.

"You can't die mommy, you have super sparkles where you live forever." She pulls out her stuffed bunny that Peeta made for her that is purple and smiling. "Hoppy gave youe them... So you'll never die." I open my one eye and almost want to laugh at her innocence. Her curly brown hair falls around her shoulders and her blues eyes sparkle as they always do. I wrap my arms around her waist, sitting up and kiss her cheeks, and then rest my head on her shoulder as she giggles.

"It'll work mommy, promise." "I know it will... Now go downstairs." She runs down the stairs and I straddle Peeta's lap and he smiles up at me. "We gotta get out of the house for this Anniversary." "Why Katniss?" He asks and I shrug. "I mean we haven't done anything sexual in a while because we have Willow here 24/7 and she could hear us... And I don't want her walking into that." He has his hands on my hips as I draw invisible hearts on his chest.

"Katniss, I don't want you feeling pressured into sex." "But I want this Peeta-" "OH MY GOD!" I turn and see Johanna watching us. She walks in and sits on my side of the bed. "Look, I hate hearing you guys having these conversations on how you don't have sex anymore because of Willow... Peeta my god! If she wants to have that special moment with you on your Anniversary then take it!" She hands us to train tickets.

I read them and she is sending us to District Four. "Where did you get these?" I ask and she shrugs. "I knew you were going to have this argument again so there, happy Anniversary." I look up at her and smile. "Thank you." She stands. "I'm not done, I got one more thing for you Katniss." I kiss Peeta's four head and walk with Johanna into her room. She pulls something out of a box that says from Effie and I look at it.

"What is that?" "Lingerie... You're supose to wear it for this kind of stuff." I lift my eyebrows and she shrugs. "Effie got it for you, it's light, it's your style, you're going to wear it." I nod and she shoves it in my suite case where I see she has packed all my things. "Go wear something." I grab a long sleeved shirt and slacks and walk back into my room where it's empty of Peeta's presence. I get dressed and go downstairs and see Willow blabbing about how she wants a bunny.

"I said no Willow." Peeta says and she is holding onto his leg with her stuffed one. "Please daddy? Hoppy is getting so lonely and he needs someone to talk to about the life of being a bunny." I lean against the fridge and Peeta looks up at me as I braid my hair. I shrug and keep braiding it. "Willow... Daddy will think about getting you a bunny, because you are my little princess." He says lifting her up in his arms and kissing her cheeks. I roll my eyes, knowing that he was going to melt. He sets her down and she runs over to me and jumps up and down.

"DADDY'S GOING TO GET ME A BUNNY WHILE YOU'R GONE!!!!! THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!" I pick her up and look at ButterCup who is sleeping on the table. "Well, while your gone you are going to have to talk with Buttercup about the new Bunny... Okay?" She nods and I hug her close. "We'll be back in two days, then you will see if you get your Bunny or not." She giggles and kisses my four head. "I love you mommy." "I love you too."

That night when we get into Four it is warm and beautiful. We have a house right by the Ocean and I get into the Lingerie that Effie got me and I look at myself in the mirror as my hair is down. I see a girl with to many scars... To many scars of her past life. The ones on my back are from the parachutes. The one on my four head and arm, from Johanna.

The scar on my stomach, from them doing surgery after I got shot. I shake the thoughts from my head and walk into the room where I see Peeta laying on the plush bed with his arms behind his head, looking very comfortable. He looks at what little I'm wearing and I think of something to say and something slips from my mouth.

"Come here and see another reason why I'm called the girl on fire." He gets out of bed and walks over to me and kisses my lips. I wrap my arms around his neck and he lifts my legs so they wrap around his hips. Then everything goes blank.
