  The taste of saltiness in the air, the warm sand beneath my toes. I felt at peace. But why.

I hear a faint chuckle and a squeal beside me from a distance and as I look over from the crashing waves I find Finnick there, with a little boy, his own ashy blonde hair rushes against the winds, his pearling blue eyes dance.

I watch as Finnick and the small boy play together just to watch and see a younger girl giggling along as Finnick picks her up and throws her onto his back.

Her raven hair beams against the sun as her striking sea green eyes look upon Finnick with love.

I feel a faint smile creep up upon my lips. Happiness.

They weren't just any kids, they were ours.

It was such as a good place, we were in district four. It all felt so real, that was until my vision blurred and the sound of Johannas voice brings me back to reality.

"Vic?? Vic? VICTORIA!!"

I startle at her voice just as I look over and she glares at me, "have you listened to a word I've said??"

I bit my tongue and slowly start to smile and giggle,"nope" I simply say and she gasps as she throws the pillow next to her at me and she grins.

"Alright alright I'm sorry.. I just. I was day dreaming. But what were you saying?" I ask

"Well Vince asked me out! And well"
I gasp before she could even reply and I scoot closer to her eagerly waiting

"WELL??" I say with a wide smile on my face as Johanna eyes me.

"Stoppp you know I hate this..but he and I are official!" She says just as her bad girl persona stopped and we both squeal and grab each other's hands. Like a bunch of high school girls.

"OH MY GOD!! Johanna I'm so happy for you!!" I smile and hug her tightly.

She giggles as she tries to steady herself.
She calms herself and bites her lip, "if you dare tell anyone I did then I will-"

"I know joe, I won't" I say winking and she gives me a hearty smile.

"Now what we're you day dreaming about now?"

I giggle and shrug laying back against the bed railing. "Finnick, our future, kids.." my expression turns a bit serious as I haven't told Johanna about my pregnancy. Finnick and I agreed to tell no one in case it got out.

Hell I haven't even told Gage and he's the damn father.

I glare off in the distance as Johanna tilts her head and pokes me. "Vic. What's on your mind."

Guilt. Keeping this secret is hard. Eventually everyone will know. But I need
To go on this mission. I need to be with Finnick, to protect him.

But I can't keep this away from my best friend.

"It's just." I begin to speak as Johanna rubs my shoulder in comfort.

"It's okay. I know Finnick is a hard ass it's okay to divorce him and be with me instead" she says as I could hear the hint of sarcasm and I giggle at her words which causes her to grin.

Turning back to being serious I glance her over in the eyes, "you promise. Not to tell anyone." I say and she nods.

"Johanna. I'm-"

"Pregnant!" She says and giggles and I widen my eyes. How'd she know. Wait no she couldn't have.

Her giggle slowly fades as she watches my face and her own becomes shocked, "wait, YOU'RE REALLY PREGNANT!" She says as I could feel her breathing hinch and I slowly nod.

Moments of silence through the room.

Suddenly she looks down then back at me and I could see tears in her eyes as she squeezes me into a tight hug, "I'm so happy for you. Oh my god Vic, how long have you known." She asks and I smile a bit.

"A few days.. before the wedding actually." I say

"Why didn't you tell me??"

I bit my lip slowly, "the baby isn't finnicks, Finnick knows. It was from Gage. But Finnick wants the baby too. I also didn't tell you because I need to go on this mission. I need to protect Finnick."

She slowly smiles at me and shakes her head, " man, this is something else, but what if you get hurt. You could impact the baby vic."

I look away and sigh, "but Finnick. Please don't tell anyone. I need to go"

She starts to protest then she sighs and rolls her eyes, "you will be the death of me, okay" she says and reassures me.
"Have you told Gage?" She asks and I shake my head.

"No. But soon" I say and with that my thoughts wonder once more.

Training was coming up once more, Finnick would glance at me occasionally to make sure I was alright as today I seemed to have some troubles.

We were leaving tonight and I needed to be my best but yet I've been my worst in weeks.

Every damn hour I've been in the bathroom being sick.

Beetee eyes me occasionally and approaches me, "Victoria."

I quickly stop what I'm doing with my knives and I glance over at him. "Yes?"

"Are you feeling alright love?" He asks concerned and I simply try to giggle.

"Yes of course, I guess it's just nerves getting to me" I shrug as I turn around to end the conversation and go back to my knives, at which I could feel his eyes upon my back.

~

I finish washing my face after my hot shower to try to ease my sickness. Which didn't help.

Finnick was busy training as he should be and would be here soon.

We were to leave in only Just a few hours and yet there was no way I could possibly be ready. The sickness and nausea that overwhelmed me was dreadful.

I hear the door click from the other room, "Honey" I hear finnicks voice as it got closer and I turn around to watch him walk into the bathroom, his face lights up when he laid his eyes upon me.

It simply sends butterflies that overwhelmed through me and he wraps his arm around my waist to kiss me gently on my lips.

I kiss him back and I straighten his shirt, "how was training" I ask and he shrugs.

"We are all prepared and ready to end this rebellion" he says with a chuckle and I mess with his hair, "Victoria..beetee told me he sent you back to rest, your sickness is too much. Maybe you should sit this out." His voice gets softer with every word.

I frown and shake my head, "I'm fine Finnick. I'm going whether you like it or not." I simply say as a faint knock is upon our door.

Mags slides in with a sorrowed look just as Finnick and I walk out into our bedroom, "they know. We all know. Coin wants to speak to you Mrs. Odair."

I knew exactly what she meant. Finnick and I glanced at each other. I told Johanna. Why would she tell them.

I felt betrayed, but a slight relief flickered in finnicks eyes, they'll make me stay, I won't be suitable to go anymore.

He pulls me closer to him and kisses my forehead, "we can go together"

With those words we make our way out.

~

"Why would you keep this from us?" Coins sharp eyes Pierce through me coldly.

I open my mouth to speak as she voices out once more, "YOU could jeopardize the whole team with your actions Mrs. Odair! Make them fall behind. Do you understand how important this mission is!" She spews at me and Finnick wraps a protective arm around me.

I bit the inside of my cheek with guilt but I won't let anyone speak to me in such a manner.
"With all due respect Miss, I was perfectly fine. If you just give me a chan-"

She silences me with her hand raised in the air, "no discussion. You are to stay here. Finnick, go get prepared, you are taking off in an hour" she states as she glances at Finnick then at I.

She turns around to make sure her message was clear and I furrow my eyebrows.

She wasn't wrong. I could jeopardize the team. Maybe even Finnick.

Heading out of the double doors in the corner is a pained Johanna. Her face was flooded with guilt. She told coin, but I'm sure it was to protect me. Us.

Ignoring her glances I walk with Finnick just for him to stop and turn to me. He pulls me into a tight hug and kisses my forehead gently.
"I love you vic. While I'm gone please don't do anything stupid"

I smirk a bit as I glance up at him, "what makes you say that??" I say innocently and he chuckles.

"I'll be back, I need to change." With that he kisses my hand and leaves me in the hall to get ready.

A few moments go by and I hear a voice behind me, "congratulations" it was Gage.

I turn to look at his armored outfit and his black hair slicked back.

"Thank you-" I should tell him right. That it's his baby. But if he finds out he might want to stay, he might even spend so much time thinking on that then the mission. I can't jeopardize it once more.

I stand there in silence as he sighs, "I guess I'll see you later right." He asks and I snap back into reality as I glance up into his green eyes.

With my silence he simply nodded and began to walk past me, just after we brushed shoulder I grip his arm, he glances at me and I smile softly.

"Stay alive Gage." I say as I hug him tightly, I still care about him.

He hugs me back and we keep eye contact til we fully break and he walks away.

Watching his back disappear down the stairs.

~

The winds from the aircraft blow my hair upon my face, I watch as the team gets prepared and Katniss waves as she leaves into the craft.

"I'll be back before you know it vic" Finnick says as he kisses my cheek gently.

He was the last to board and the team was waiting on him.

He hugs me tightly and I could feel tears begin to form in my eyes, "stay with me" I whisper as he sighs deeply and holds back himself.

"Always, Shhh it's okay Vic." He reassures

I shake my head a bit, "but it's not. Who's gonna keep my nightmares away. Who's gonna keep you safe" he chuckles at my words and sighs.

"I'll be back vic. I promise." I could tell he was being strong for me.

I know Finnick the most though and deep within his eyes it was tearing him apart letting me go from his grasp once more.

"I love you" I choke out and he smiles as our lips connect. Sending a wave of fire through me and he smiles at me caressing my hands.

"I love you most" he whispers just as my hands feel cold from his lingering touch disappears and the sight of the man I love walks into the air craft.

I swore my heart raced as I watched the air craft move and begin to fly away. I'm stronger than this. I can't let my emotions show around people I don't even know.

I think just as I turn to walk away.

He'll be back. He 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑.
