I help Annie around the house as Peeta went into town for a present for my mom which I didn't snap at him for. Annie lives in a house that is kind of away from town, it's nice because the beach is right outside, it's got two stories but it has a beach theme to it and it makes you relaxed, she has photos here and there of the growing Flynn from the past three years, my favourite one is when he must've been one or something and he's standing up laughing at the camera dressed in a cute button up shirt, pants and a cap, in the photo he looks so much like Finnick it's like you're looking into his eyes, he'll always be remembered and Flynn will know his dad as a hero who saved my life.

"So have you and Peeta talked about the M word?" She gigglesand I smile

"Not that much, we both agreed that it'll happen but we haven't really talked about when..." I reply

"You want it to happen don't you?" She smirks making me roll my eyes

"Enough about my love life, what about you? Will you ever start seeing anyone?" I ask as she folds the washing at the table

"No... Flynn is the only man I'll need. I'm a way it'll feel like I betrayed Finnick and that this man is raising his kid when he didn't even get to see him, yet alone raise him with me so dating and marriage is off limits for me" she explains

"Annie..."

"Yeah?" She asks folding one of Flynns shirts

"Um... how do you know when to you know... get intimate with someone?" I ask making her giggle

"I'm surprised you two haven't done anything like that yet" she smiles and I feel my whole face heat up

"I want to... I want to try it but I just don't want to get pregnant" I sigh

"Oh Katniss. There are things you can take you know" she says

"Really? How do you get them?" I ask

"You just need to go to your doctor and they'll give them to you. Jee, Peeta is going to be surprised and proud" she giggles

"About what?" I jump as Peeta has now entered the room

"About how far Katniss has come" Annie winks at me making me roll my eyes

"Of course I am. Hey Katniss, do you want to have a walk on the beach with me?" He asks

"Um, sure" I smile

"Not like that Katniss, borrow one of my sundresses" Annie smirks

"I think I'm fine"

"Katniss Cecelia Everdeen. Get your but up there and change, jeans and a shirt is not suitable wear for the beach" Annie demands dragging me upstairs, what is up with her? Why is it so important that I change?. As we enter her room she starts searching through her closet till she pulls out a thin white sundress

"Put this on. No arguments" and so I do, it comes up to mid thigh which makes me feel little about myself but it's a very pretty dress with cotton spaghetti straps

"Perfect! Now one more thing" she then starts to take out my braid, letting my hair flow just above my waist

"You look amazing! Come on!" She squeals, leaving me barefooted as we go downstairs, Peeta looks up from colouring in with Flynn to look at us

"Wow... you really suit dresses" he admits making me blush

"Go on that walk you love birds" Annie says shooing is out of the house, we join hands and start our walk along the beach

"We haven't talked much about our future" he finally speaks

"Yeah... I mean we're like what? 20?" I say
