A/N okay I am back! I had some time with my family to settle some things and now I can write again! Sorry for the wait!

<Foxfaces POV>

The weather is terrible. These winds are strong enough to blow a house down. Annie and Finnick's house is just around the street, but even so walking was a bad idea. My hair I just curled is probably a rats nest. Not to mention my makeup is probably dripping down my face because of the rain. I guess it makes since that it is raining since it is may.

Without warning a car almost hits me from behind, but I jump out of the way just in time. Unfortunately me and my pink sundress skid on the pavement. Who the hell did that?

A tall, dark skinned, young man comes out of the car. "Oh my god! I am so sorry! I swear I didn't mean to!" He says in a panic. I try to focus, but my thoughts are drowning in his beautiful brown eyes. Come on speak Foxface! I tell myself. I stand up.

"No it's fine really. I am okay," I tell him trying to distract myself from his eyes.

"Oh thank god! I am so sorry. I found a stray dog and I was bringing it to the animal clinic but then it started acting up so when I looked back at it I could see you walking. I am so sor- what's that on your thigh?" He asks interrupting his own apology.

"What do you me-" I cut myself off when I look down at my leg and see it is bleeding for a cut that doesn't seem to deep. "I am okay really," I say desperately.

"At least let me wrap it," the man suggests.

"Only if you tell me your name," I say with a grin.

"Chaff. What's yours?" Chaff asks.

"Foxface- I mean Rose, sorry my friends call me Foxface because of my hair, no one ever calls me Rose," I say blushing. God why does he make me feel this way. I ache for him.

"Well I wouldn't call you Rose, that seems to delicate. You look a lot tougher than that," Chaff says smiling. The way he speaks is so inspiring. I love it. I want Chaff. "I got it! I'll call you Red because your hair is reddish and there is a tough action movie called Red." I gasp.

"Red is my favorite movie! I love Bruce Willis!" I squeal.

"Really?" He asks. I nod. " I'll tell you what Red. After I patch your leg up I will give you my number and we will talk more about the movie Red."

"I would love that," I say with a smile. He goes into his car and helps me patch up my leg. Then gives me his number. After that he drives away. I think I may have found the one. Time to continue my walk to Finnick and Annie's.

<Katniss's POV>

I look I to Peeta's sky blue eyes. "Ready?" He asks. I nod my head slightly. We are planning on telling everyone about my situation with me either being pregnant or having cancer. Prim and Rue don't know yet. Peeta calls for Prim and Rue to come so we can start driving.

I take Rue's hand and Peeta takes Prim's hand. we get in the car and start to drive to Annie and Finn's.

When we arrive everyone else is already there. The house smells of fantastic foods. I look around at my friends- family and smile. Jo and Foxface sit on the couch with Sam who is in a little tux giggling away. Cato, Clove, Marvel, and Glimmer are sitting at the table Annie set up talking and laughing. Ann is still cooking in the kitchen. Finnick opens the door for us. He ruffles Prim and Rue's hair which makes them squeal.

I take Peeta's hand and walk inside. When Annie finishes cooking we all sit down at the large table. Finnick starts to speak. "Before we thank god for our misfit bond and say amen, I think we should all share some news if we have any."

Marvel speaks up first. "We moved our wedding date up to two weeks from now since we couldn't really wait any longer." We smile and Jo says congrats and then prepared to share news herself.

"Sam is getting older each day and is starting to look more and more like Thresh not to mention he is toddling now which can only lead to mischief. I laugh as I look at Sam sitting in his highchair.

Cato and Clove tighten the grip of their hands. "Were engaged!" We congratulated them and hugs and kisses are exchanged. Wow!

Foxface bursts out in a ramble, "I met a guy named Chaff and I think he likes me and we are going to talk later!" We cheer for Foxface.

"It's about time!" Finnick's teases. Fox shoots him a death glare, but then smiles.

"We have some news of our own," Annie says. She holds up her hand and points to something on her finger. I look at her confused as well as everyone else. "It's a wedding ring you blind bats! Finn and I are getting married!" Annie yells in frustration. We laugh and cheer for our friends. I look at Peeta and he nods telling me now is the right time to tell them about our situation. I clear my throat. Everyone quiets down and looks at me.

"Okay um, Peeta and I went to the hospital the other day to see why I was throwing up almost every morning. When we got there I told them what was going on. Now this next part can be either good news or bad news," I stop for a minute to gather my courage. Peeta squeezes my hand giving me the power to continue. "I may either be pregnant or I may have pancreatic cancer." Everyone just stares at me in shock. Tears start to roll down my face. Prim starts to cry. Soon followed by Clove, Annie, and eventually we all have tears dripping off our chins. Finn is the only one that speaks through the tears.

"We need to say our thanks," he says. We all take each other's hands and put our heads down. "Dear God we thank you for our good food, good fun, and great friends. We congratulate Annie and I and also Marvel and Glimmer on our engagements. We remember our friend Thresh. We pray for Katniss in hopes that she is only with child and does not have to burden the effects of cancer. We look after out little Sam the newest addition and hope for more. Amen."

And all of us together-like we always have been- repeat as one voice, "Amen."
