Skinny Love( Finnick Odair)

Epilogue

One year later

I laugh as Finnick splashes me and Alx with water. Alx shrills and giggles. We all were laughing our hearts out enjoying this moment at the beach.

It was over. The Hunger Games were destroyed. Erased. But not from our memories. They were still living there. Haunting Finnick and I but we didn't care. If we had to have nightmares to make sure that Alx wouldn't live through the Games then we will.

"Arias!" Finnick yells and I run over to him, Alx jump in up and down as he balances on my hip. Finnick was looking at something on the ground and I glance at him.

"Look at this" he marvel as he hands me a perfect shell. I smile and flip it over. I frown as I discover that there is a scratch on the back.

"Its scratched" I sigh and he smiles at me.

"That's what makes it perfect. Its perfect and has a battle scar. Like you" he says and kisses my forehead placing the shell in my hand. I wrinkle my nose and Alx giggles.

"Are you laughing at your mommy and daddy?" Finnick asks in his baby voice. Alx claps his hands, his golden blonde hair shining in the sun. He looked just like his father dimples and everything. Only thing Alx had from me was his blue eyes.

"What's so funny?" I say and smile. Finnick laughs as Alx starts to pull on my hair. Not rough but in a loving way.

"Finnick! Arias!" Someone yells and we turn around to see Katniss and Peeta. I smile and Peeta runs down the beach and Katniss laughs.

"Hey Alx!" He says and I hand him over to Peeta. He starts to play and bounce him around and I smile at them. Peeta adored Alx and wanted his own.

"One day that can be you, Katniss" I say and she just smiles.

"I wouldn't be a good mother" she replies and Peeta looks up.

"My good fathering skills well cover that up" he tells us and we all laugh. Every since we had un-hi-jacked him, he's had a sense of humor. He was still broken but he tried to cover it up.

"I'll think about it. One thing at a time. First the wedding and then maybe a bab-" Katniss starts but then Peeta jumps up and down, Alx following him.

"Yes! I might be a father!" Peeta yells and Alx claps his hands. Finnick wraps an arm around me and I look up at him. I kiss him and he smiles. This is a perfect moment. Family, happiness and love all together in one moment.

Even with our skinny love, we survived.
