"Finn, I'll do it myself for God's sake?"




"Alright, although, you've been at it 20 minutes? I've offered to help," he shrugged "But if you don't want it then I guess-"




I sighed hard "Finn,"




He grinned "Yes my darling?"




I rolled my eyes "Please will you get that down for me?"




he nodded "Yeah, sure?"




He reached up and pulled down the packet of rubber seals and handed them to me.




"Thanks?"




I sat down on the hotel bed and replaced the old one on my stick. I'd been back from the hospital for a couple of hours and Finn wouldn't leave me alone. I sighed hard flopping on the bed. Being out cold for three days had made my legs tense up and they were killing. He sat behind me and cuddled me. Finally he had understood that that's what I needed.




He smiled "While you were asleep last night I took Charlie out for five minutes and he made me buy something?"




"Like what?"




"He picked out this teddy for the baby- but if he asks I haven't told you?"

"Don't make me laugh it stings!"




"Sorry? Not my fault I'm funny is it?"




"Yes it is."




I shrugged "Oh well?"




She sighed and muttered "I can't wait to get home."




"Me neither?"




She rolled her eyes "Finn, you already are home?"




I shook my head "This place isn't the house we live in back in 12, so, in a way I don't think this is home? It is in the sense it's where I was born and stuff but, it's not my home with you?"




"Yeah, I suppose that's a point? It's weird for me, I was born in 12, raised in the Capitol and for some reason I always wanted to be in the place I was born?"




I paused and said slowly "I thought you were down as a Capitol citizen on the electrol roll?"




She nodded "I am, but I was actually born in 12."




"Your mom used to hate 12?"
