{This one goes to Lauren, for thinking she's gonna figure out what's gonna happen in the next few chapters. 😂}

He chases me through the house, yielding a cooking spoon and a cup of water. "Come back here missy!" He yells as I launch over the couch.

"Never!" He goes to catch me again, but at the last second I roll out from his grip and rush to the bedroom. I try to lock the door but he's too fast pushing it towards me. I run around the side of the bed and he tackles me onto it.

"Gotcha." He smirks. He lets some of the water from the cup dribble down onto my face before setting it on the table. He starts to blow on my stomach making crazy noises.

"Peeta!!" I giggle. I reach up and smack his arm leaving a red mark on the skin.

He pretends to show hurt and shock. "You made a mark!" He pretends to cry falling onto me.

"Oh I'm sorry sweetpea." I smile kissing his cheek.

"No." He grins. "Now I get to make a mark on you." I twist my face.

"What are you-"

"Shh." He says bringing his face down to my neck. Lightly he begins to suck, then kiss a little, then suck some more. I moan and place my one hand on the back of his neck pressing him harder onto mine, then my other hand into his chest and under his shirt.
It lasts for a while, over time I slip his shirt up over his head. It doesn't seem to phase him.

Things start to get heated, hands start to roam, the lights are left on, and everything becomes one big peaceful bliss.

When I wake, he's on the phone. "No I- I'm telling you. It won't happen, she will not be-"

I stand and pull on his shirt. "Haymitch I don't care!" He says. I pull on underwear and look in the mirror smirking. He left a mark.

"All I'm saying is that we are trying to have another baby. We already have a kid, she can't go put her life in danger." I lean in the doorway, he catches my stare and sighs. "Look, I've got to go." He waits. "I'm serious Haymitch ... goodbye."

He hangs up and stretches his arms above his head. "I uh- I talked to Haymitch." He starts.

"About?"

"About the Right Arm." He says.

"And...?" I say sitting down on the couch as he brings me a hot chocolate. I look at it, whipped cream on the top, chocolate sauce drizzled on the top. I take a drink and look back at him, he smiles at me. "What?"

"Nothing" He smiles kissing my nose. "There now I got the whipped cream off."

"Thanks." I kiss his lips quickly. "So what did Haymitch say?" I ask.

"Well, he told me that I should let you do what you want because if I don't you'll do it anyways." He says.

I chuckle. "Do you understand how right he is?"

Hurt shows through his eyes. "Yeah, I know. And I don't want him to be right. I want you to think about us." He sets my mug down and take my hands in his. "I want you to do what you think is right, but think about us."

"Peeta, I can't sit by and watch innocent people be killed when I know there's something I can do to help." I say. I can remember my voice sounding like this before, when I told the worker from the nut I was done being a piece in Snow's game. "I won't sit by." I snarl.

All he does is look away from me. "I'm going to go Peeta." I say. "I'm going to call them when we get home. Tell them I'm willing and ready to fight."

He lets a few tears fall. "Maybe we should stop trying to have kids then." He whispers.

I take a few deep breaths. "Yeah ... okay." I nod. "Peeta I'm so sorry." I whisper.

I lean into his body, both of us wrapping our arms around one and another. Both of our tears fall, knowing that I'll be dead in months.

I know it's dangerous, I know what I'm about to do it stupid. But I will not stand by and watch innocent district citizens be turned into mindless slaves. I will not live in a world with a tyrant.

"I need to run to the store." He whispers pulling away. I watch him walk into the bedroom and come back out with a backpack. I'm at his side in an instant.

"Please don't leave me." I beg.

"I just need to run to the store, it'll give me time to think." I nod and reach to place a kiss on his lips. He allows it wrapping an arm around my back. "I love you." He murmurs into my lips.

"I love you too." He nods.

Then he leaves, leaves me sitting in my own tears in a pile on the couch. I pick up the phone, dialing the Right Arm's number into it. "Hello?" A voice asks. "Who is this?"

"Can I speak with Andler please?" I ask.

"Who is this?"

"Katniss." Is all I say before they allow me to speak with Andler.

"Katniss." He greets. "Hi, how are you?"

"I'm good. Thank you."

"Have you any good news for us?" He asks.

"I kill Violet, Peeta will not come with." I say listing my conditions. "All my conditions will be fulfilled, along with any other ones I find necessary along the way." I tell him.

"Sounds good soldier." He says. "I'll call you with details in a week or two."

"Thank you. Goodbye."

"Goodbye." I hang the phone up and crawl back into bed.

I wake to the amazing scents of Peeta's cooking. I pull on pants, thin black stretch pants. I walk into the kitchen and dinning room area and find him in just exercise pants. "Peeta." I speak.

He turns around. "Oh good, your awake."

"Yeah. How long have you been back?" I ask.

"About an hour, I started dinner." He says as I hug my sides with my own arms. "I'm making your favorite." He grins. "Lamb stew and rice and plums, pumpkin soup, and peach cobbler."

I smile and walk to him. "You don't have to do that."

"I wanted to." He nods.

"Alright." I whisper. I wrap my arms around his back as he continues to cook. He stirs the soup and nudges me in the stomach.

"Taste?" He asks. I retract from his side and stand as he lets me try the soup.

"It's really good." I sigh. "Probably your best batch."

He beams proudly. "I'm glad you like it."

Our lips connect and the spoon falls to the ground. He hurries to pick it up and wash it off in the sink. "It seems each time we kiss something goes wrong." I tap my chin.

He shakes his head wrapping his arms around my frail body. "Oh no my dear, each time we kiss the stars aline. And something arms to go right."
