Two broken humans, barely recognizable from those teenagers who won the 74th games almost 10 years ago, when Panem was still under control of the Capitol. An old flame forced to be extinguished by torturing him when the rebelion started and you decided to be the mockingjay.

That flame burned inside you like a forest fire, but his was forcefully hidden and protected by the lies the Capitol fed him, lies that leaded to his love for you to turn into fear and resentment.

It took time for both, because the rebelion was still happening around both. The war between both of your hearts was even bigger, and it showed.

Even before the war finished, you two started feeding that old flame with fresh wood of pure love. So when you killed Coin and went back to the district 12 with Haymitch and some old faces, but without him, the waiting became an agony.

It showed how much you both needed each other just to live, because you felt like your breath came back once he did to your arms and stayed with you.

Peeta was him, broken, but him. And now you two started building a future to honor all the people who perished but helped for you to both to have that freedom. Part of that freedom led to the unthinkable for you (in the past at last), and his biggest wish; a family with you.

Now here you are, with a growing life on your womb and his warmth to protect both. Of course he was even more attentive now, it took almost 10 years for you to give in and grant him the honor of being the father of your child.

His eyes, somehow still looking youthful and like the ones of a loyal puppy, found yours as he kneeled in front of you on a chair, kissing your belly and smiling, soothingly caressing your hand. "How do you feel?"
