Healing Scars

Epilogue

I settled the book back onto the bedside table. Sitting on the edge of Kaden's bed, I move the hair from his eyes, kissing his forehead.

"Goodnight Kaden," I rise from the edge of the bed, heading to the door to turn out the lights.

"Goodnight mommy," he yawns in the process of laying his head on his pillow and I smile at him.

I just switch off the lights when I hear Kaden call

"Mommy," I switch the lights back on, eliminating the room.

"Yes sweetheart?" I step into the room.

"Who's Prim?" He asks "I hear you screaming her name sometimes in the night."

I freeze. The touchy subject of my sister is something I refuse to speak about because it brings too much pain to think of.

I take a deep breath, settling back beside him on the edge of his bed. "She's your aunt, Kaden." I tell him, "I dream about her most nights"

Kaden stares at me for a second. "Where is she now?" he asks, leaning up to look at me,

"In a very special place," is all I tell him.

"Where?" He asks "The meadow?"

"Something like that," I say, once again moving the hair from his eyes. When the touchy subject makes tears spring to my eyes I shake off the subject immediately "But Prim is in a good place now. She's safe. That's all that matters."

Kaden smiles, resting his head back onto the pillow. "That's good. That's she safe. "

I smile, although I'm now staring at my feet for a moment.

"Anyway," I sigh "Time to gonzo sleep now. Love you, Kaden."

"Love you too, mommy." I lean down to place another kiss to his forehead.

As I close the bedroom door, I take a moment to think. Now that Kaden knows of Prim, he won't leave the subject alone. One day I'll tell him about her though. So he'll know where she really is and why.

Six years later

Peeta and I are finally becoming a normal couple. No more getting hurt or illnesses just amazing bliss, that's what life is.

Willow is now sixteen and looking so much like me, her being a teenager makes Peeta on edge about boys, any boys in that matter. I knew the day would come where I would notice that my baby girl is finally growing up, and today is that day. She runs down the stairs, in a dress in heels with her hair in one braid down her back with the biggest grin on her face. "Mom, how do I look?" I smile as I look up from a board game that I was playing with Kaden as Peeta makes pastries.

"You look beautiful honey." I say with a smile. "Daddy?" She asks and he turns. I can see tears welling up in his baby blue eyes, this has been the hardest on Peeta. "You look gorgeous princess." He says, wrapping his arms around her, kissing her temple gently. He grins, the tears rolling down his cheeks. "You look so much like your mother." She laughs and I smile a little.

"You look too pretty for this to just be going out with a friend." Kaden scoffs and I shush him. "Kaden." I say softly and he plays with the end of my braid. "Well it's true." He says. "You're gonna kiss him aren't ya?" Kaden asks and Willow blushes. "I dunno, it's none of your business." I kiss his temple. "Exactly, none of your business." Peeta raises a eyebrow.

"No kissing or I will beat him with my dough roller." The doorbell rings and I stand, taking Peeta's shaking hand. "Alright have fun honey but be safe." She hugs Peeta and I. "I will, I love you both." She says grinning. She walks over to the door and opens it to a boy with blond curls, holding primroses with a grin as Willow hugs him closely.
