Epilogue

Katniss slipped her fingers through Peeta's as they sat in the front row of the VidCon panel. She was shaking because she wasn't sure she could handle what was coming. She knew how Peeta would react. They'd talked briefly months before, on the first anniversary of their first official date, that maybe they should solidify a few things.

Peeta still lived with Annie and Finnick, but he was considering a move closer to Katniss. He just really liked teaching and he wasn't prepared quite yet to leave his position. Or New Market.

And Katniss wouldn't have been able to make a successful business outside of Morgantown. She had worked so hard to get here she was and get clients. There was no way he could ever ask her to move.

But Katniss didn't care to have their long-distance relationship. It was only three hours difference. During the school year, Peeta lived with Katniss Friday night until early Monday morning. And he made his home there every school break. He'd spent a large portion of the previous summer living in "The Big City," as he teasingly called it, until he had to go to his training and then get his classroom in order for the start of the school year.

But Katniss decided there was something else that could be done, even if they were still trying to decide where they lived.

The panel was drawing to a close when the host stood and said, "We have a sort of special video. Someone twisted our arm, but it didn't need to go too far." He pointed to the back. "Please enjoy."

The lights lowered and Katniss heard the first notes play before Elvis started singing I Can't Help Falling in Love with You. The song she'd sung to Peeta in that first personal video.

Images flashed across the screen: Katniss and Gale shooting, Peeta baking, snippets of their shows.

Katniss felt Peeta's hand tense in hers and then it slowly started to relax. She chanced a peek at him and she could see he was transfixed on the current clip.

It was her first appearance in one of his videos. She'd chosen a close-up of herself because she hadn't realized just how much adoration was in her eyes the first time she watched it back.

He glanced over when the shot changed to a shot of him trying to shoot her bow. She'd loved the way he laughed when he was frustrated and trying not to let it get the best of him.

The last image faded and a message came up on the screen, "Now all you have to do is answer Katniss's question."

Katniss let go of Peeta's hand and stepped up on the stage and took the mic that was offered. She waved him up and he bounded up after her. "You already know the question." She said, even as she made a big show of dropping to one knee and taking his hand.

A whoop rose through the crowd. There were a few shouts of, "Finally!" and, "Get it, Katniss!" And one person started crying hysterically.

Katniss looked up at Peeta. Her throat constricted and she managed to choke out, "I don't care where we live or what jobs we have, I just want to be married to you."

He caught her up in a tight embrace and whispered in her ear, "I want that too."

They hugged for quite a while as the audience asked, "What's your answer?"

A few people said, "Isn't it obvious?"

Peeta took the mic and said, "Is there a preacher in the house?"

The room erupted again and a few people actually volunteered.

The wedding would probably take another year to commit to. Why rush? "Thanks, but no thanks." They said to the people making the offers.

As they left the hall, being stopped by fans asking for autographs and congratulating them, Peeta pressed his mouth close to Katniss's ear. "I got a job."

She gave him a surprised look. "And here I thought I was the only one keeping a secret."

He looked around and then pulled her down a hall until it got quieter. He took her hands and kissed them. "There's a teacher retiring at the start of the term. She just put in for it, ill or something. So if you'll have me, I'd like to completely move in with you and plan this wedding."

"Let's do it." She threw her arms around him. "I love you so much."

"I love you, too." He kissed her hard and then stepped back, leading her back into the fray. "How in the world did you keep this from me?"

"A complex network of spies." She said with a secretive smirk as they were swallowed by the crowd.

There were so many plans to make and a life to fully blend together. But first, fun!


Post story note: I still have a lot of love for this world as much as all of you! So I will do some drabble/one-shot outtakes and future scenes in this world. And I would love to have requests from you! I did this with one of my earliest fics and it was so much fun!

So send in your prompts to my Tumblr (booksrockmyface)! I'll try to get to them in a timely manner. I may need them as I get to the meaty/angsty final chapters of Worry Is Calling.
