*Peeta's POV*

A few days after the wedding, me and Katniss are still rather tired, but I asked her if she wanted us to have a honeymoon, and if she didn't want to, that'd be fine with me.

"Of course! I would love to! I haven't thought much about it, but that sounds like fun!" She answers.

"Where would you like to go?"

"Who knows? Who cares? Anywhere is fine with me!"

We planned for about a week, and the next Friday we left for our honeymoon, which we decided would be in District 4, and we could also meet up with Annie Cresta, and her son Fin.

We took a train to 4, which only took about a day. We rented a house on the beach, and planned on staying for a week. When we got there, we met Annie at the train station.

"Hello! How are you guys! I haven't seen y'all in so long! (Even though it had only been like 2 weeks)" Annie questioned.

"We're good! How are you? How's Fin?" I asked.

"He's great! I'll drive you guys to your house."

So Annie took us to our beautiful one-story house that's literally right up against the ocean. It was more beautiful than I imagined. I couldn't wait to paint the view out the window.

After we'd taken all our belongings inside and organized them, we were both really tired, and although only 8 o'clock, we headed off to bed.

"I love you," I said as I held Katniss in my arms.

"I love you more," she replied.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah," she responded sassily.

I felt the the question weighing on me, so I asked her, "How do you feel about kids?"

She laughed. I asked her why she laughed.

"Well," she said, sounding a bit embarrassed, "I'm not ready. You would be. You've been a natural father since the day you were born. Of course you're ready to have kids. I'm just not. Not yet at least."

"Oh, okay."

I dropped the subject and we fell fast asleep. The next day we went for a boat ride, and then got off at the big sandy area and swam around for a little bit. They called it Crab Island, although the island is a few feet under the surface. I cooked a special dinner for Katniss every night. And we had types of fish that neither of us had ever tried being from 12. We spent one day at Annie's house, (Fin is so cute! He looks lot like Finnick, even at only one year old) and soon enough or was time to go home.

The last night we were there we had this conversation in bed.

"I don't want to go back to 12. Not yet at least. I wanna stay here, away from Haymitch for just a little while longer," Katniss said.

"I don't want to either. But to be honest, I kinda miss 12 and all it brings," I replied.

"When does the train leave?"

"Tomorrow at 6:00 am. So we'd better get some sleep."

"Okay," she said, yawning, "I love you."

"I love you, too."
