Not broken, Just bent

Amity watched the ornate clock on the fireplace mantle tick away, the small black hand peeling away one second after another. Peeta would be here soon, he’d be in the same room as her for the first time in months.

Peeta had missed his wife more than words could say and as she stands he holds himself steady trying by all means to keep it together in front of the suits but he can't, not after everything. After a step or two he rushes to her, his arms shooting out to wrap around her thin waist and pull her against him. 

Peeta had been through hell and back in the last few months, everything he had worked so hard to protect had fallen apart in the blink of an eye and he was recoiling wasn't sure what to do anymore. His wife had been first, the very person he had fought to protect and now, now the capitol had both his children and his wife.

A nice moment she’d missed so much—nearly ruined by the sound of two boys laughing and running into the house. “Oh no, not this time,” Amity muttered firmly, shutting the bathroom door with her foot. “They can wait a few minutes, hm?”

Peeta smiles shifting her to press her body against the now closed door, his fingers stroking her hip gently. "Oh no. They have had mommy all day, I think its daddys turn to spend some time with her.." he mumbles trailing his lips down her neck slowly pressing his hips to her own. 

"Coming from a baker, food puns oddly suit you," she murmured, smiling faintly. "But I like the way you talk."

"Don't they?" he mumbles before pressing his lips softly to her own, his arm wrapping around her waist to pull her against him. "It has always been your weakness" 

"I know what you mean... maybe you just need a little more spice in your life babe.."

"Why would that be?"

Moving Up

"If we take them with, Snow will want to capitalize on them," Amity said, putting out the cigarette in the ashtray on the bedside table. She stretched her arms up, allowing the covers to fall away from her naked body. "Any child we had would be the property of the Capitol. We can’t let them know the twins exist. Or any future baby, for that matter, if they should come."

"We can't ever let that happen. They don't legally exists in the capitol so he shouldn't know.. I am more worried about us right now, if we head back to the capitol, Snow wont want us to leave, he will want us in the victors seat as mentors.."

"They don’t need to go. I don’t want them there with…those people.” She meant the people in the Capitol, who would fawn over them so disingenuously. “But us…we have to. As much as I hate saying it.”

"I don't know" Peeta sighs shaking his head slowly. "I don't think its a good idea.. Yeah they can't exactly drag us to jail for being married and gone for so long.. but will they really force us to mentor now?"

"Peeta."

"The boys..they are still so young Am.. I know we have to go back but.." Peeta sighs shaking his head.
