It has been years since the last Hunger Games. I am now 22 years old. Peeta and Gale are the same age. I live in the victor's village with Peeta and Haymitch. However since there are no more Hunger Games, they had a lot of houses left over so all of us let others move in to the houses. Peeta lives right across the street from me. My mom and Sister still live together and moved 8 houses down. Haymitch lives near the middle of village. He lives about five houses from us. Gale lives to my right, he lives right next door. His mom and family live 9 houses from him right next to my mom. Some others moved in too but the village is still mostly empty.

Peeta and me quit doing the whole love thing after the last games. We both just decided it was for the best. I know I still feel something for him because believe it or not after all these times I did start to feel love towards him. After I got him back he was so different. He hated me and it took a little bit to bring him back. When he finally came back to himself I knew I never wanted to lose him. We stayed together for awhile and then just one day out of the blue it came out.

"Katniss?" I turn and smile at him, "Yeah?" He looks down then back up, "Is it just me or do you feel like we need to break up?" I sigh relieved. "Peeta you have no idea how happy I am that you mentioned this. I do feel something for you but I just feel like because we had to act so much that it ruined a lot of the romance." He nods and smiles, "I feel the same way. I love you so much Katniss but I think we need to break up for us. Then if we still feel this way and want to try again we can." I nod and he pulls me into a hug. We kiss one last time and I still feel those sparks I have always felt.

Gale was a different story. When he found out me and Peeta broke up he wanted to give us a try. I do love Gale but I just wasn't ready to risk our friendship. He reminded me of the kiss we shared before the 75 Hunger Games. I did feel something but it wasn't like with Peeta. I love Gale but I think I love Gale more like a brother.

When I saw Gale after I told him I didn't think we should try anything I felt awkward. "Hey Gale." He smiles toward me, "Hey Katnip." I laugh at his name and smile because it seems like we are gonna be okay. I sit down next to him and he wraps his arms around me. This is normal for me so I don't care. He sighs, "Katniss, why can't we try this?" I look at him and sigh, "Gale, because you are my best friend and like my brother. I am afraid we will ruin this." He sighs, "Okay I got a favor to ask you." I turn toward him, "Okay what?" He looks down, "Let me do something and if you feel nothing then I will drop it."

Thinking it over I decide that is okay and nod. He cups my face with one hand and leans in. Softly kissing my lips. He softly licks my bottom lip and I moan. He smiles into the kiss and licks my lip again. This time I open my mouth and we start kissing passionately. We pull back and he smiles. "Did you feel anything?" I look down and back up, "Yeah, I think I felt something." He smiles, "Then Katniss why not give us a try?" I look down and smile. "Okay we can try." After that Gale was so happy.

We dated for about 7 months. I finally broke it off when it became a little to weird. I thought I was falling in love with Gale and I believe I was but it just became weird to make out with him and having Prim call him brother.

I believe I did love gale but even he agreed it was becoming weird. He started to date this new girl he knew from school. They lasted a month. He became close with Haymitch and sometimes I have him knocking on my door drunk. I bring him in and help him to the guest room and tug him in taking care of him. This happens a lot and I am use to it.

Peeta came over one night and found Gale in the living room trying to get me to kiss him. Peeta did not take it too well. A fight broke out and I ended up having to break it up. Peeta is not crazy about Gale and feels like he uses me. I feel like Peeta doesn't know anything about him. Gale has not had the easiest life. Sometimes when he passes out in the guest bed I trace his scars on his back and softly cry. I wish I could have got there sooner.

Basically everyone is good. Everything is great now that there is no more Hunger Games but people are still scared. Peeta and me still have nightmares in the middle of the night. I know because he has come over before and walked into my room waking me up. "Katniss?" I look up shocked, "What's wrong Peeta?" He looks down, "I had another nightmare can I lay with you?" I nod and always move over and he crawls under the blanket with me. We end up taking care of each other. I will always need Peeta. He helps me get through everything. I hope he will still need me years from now. I know Gale is gonna always need me. I just don't know if im always gonna need him.

I remember when me and Peeta talked about kids when we were dating. "Katniss, would you like kids?" I shake my head, "No, I would not want the chance of a reaping." He would always nod and look back to the TV. Except one day it was really weird. "Katniss, the reaping is gone. The games are gone. You still won't want kids?" I think about it, "I don't know. I will always be afraid that they will come back. I just don't think I will ever want kids." He nods but this time he just got up and left.

Gale always asked the same thing about kids. The only difference is every time I said no and why he agreed with me. I think he felt like kids would be great if we were somewhere else but here in District 12 kids have never and even now without the games will probably never be safe.

I have never wanted kids. I have never wanted marriage.

But now I want a baby.

I know this is not like the books and movies but I hope you like it. Please let me know what you think. Review.
