Get Me Through The Night [Completed]

Chapter 26: Johanna's Wedding

I walk through the woods like old times, the humidity making the air hot and sticky... I love it. It's like the only time I'm able to come out and hunt for once, I can actually catch something. I look around the forest, my old hunting skills coming straight back and just like always I shoot the squirrel in the tree, right in the eye, I still got it. I smirk to myself. I can't deny that I'm talented at what I do but the whole reason why I'm good at it is because of my father. I need a little more practice on my hunters footing, having two children hasn't exactly let me have my thinness back, I do admit my hips may be bigger from what they were but that certainly doesn't stop Peeta. Not at all.

When I finish I go straight to the hob to trade, I was able to get some more of Willow and Rye's favourite snacks to eat. As I get home all I hear is crying, I quickly rush into the room where Annie is bobbing Rye up and down on her hip, trying to calm him down

"What happened?" I ask worried, taking him from her

"He asked where you were and I said she just went to town and he just started crying and didn't stop till now" she explains, Ryes crying subsides to little hiccups

"He's definitely a mama's boy, that's for sure" she giggles and I laugh softly

"Didn't surprise me. He's always been clingy towards me" I smile as I sit on the couch and she sits next to me

"Flynn always was wanting to meet new people and like always he charmed them" she says

"Speaking of Flynn. How is he? I hear he like has only one year of school left then he's moving back to District Four to study all of the stuff there" I say making Annie sigh

"Yeah... he wants to get into that sea thing, catching sea animals for the district and study them. My baby boy is all grown up" she sighs with tears eyes, I place Rye down who plays with his toys, I rub Annie's back in comfort knowing she's having one of her flashbacks that upset her

"I just wish Finnick were here to see Flynn grow up. I can see it in Flynns eyes that he wants Finnick around, he needs his real father to teach him all he needs to know" she admits

"I feel the same with Prim... there's not a day goes by when I see my kids smile or play with each other that I wish Prim were here but all that I need to remember is that she died so that I could live this life, she didn't die forgotten because she lives on through my kids, through me, Peeta and my mom. Just like Finnick lives through you and aspecially Flynn. It's all going to be okay in the end I promise" I comfort her and she sniffs

"He's just like Peeta that it's not funny" Annie admits and I train my eyes to my son, I smile and ruffle his blonde curls

"I see Peeta in him everyday, that's probably the reason why I love him so much but I can tell that Willow and I will bump heads when she's older, we're already in that phase and she's only eight but I love her so much that no word can express it" I reply

"It makes sense. She's so much like you but so much like Peeta. Same with Rye" she explains

"Yeah well you'd be surprised at how much of me is in Rye. He may be sweet and good with words but he is stubborn and on those rare occasions he has one hell of a temper" this makes her giggle

"Where does he get his shyness from?" She asks

"Mostly from Peeta but my mom was extremely shy when she was younger" I answer, I mean Peeta isn't that shy but he's the most shy one out of the two of us but he's not that shy, only a little bit.

"Mommy look! I see District 11!" Willow squeals as we watch all the homes that grow crops and animals that provide us foods, today is Johannas wedding and because District 11 isn't that far from our District we didn't have to spend the night at 11. I look across from me at Peeta who sits in a black suit with a black tie, looking all handsome
