After Haymitch left, the kids played in the backyard while Peeta and I talked about my mom and Haymitch. "I guess it could work." Peeta said. "Yeah?" I asked. We laughed. "But really, we could make it work, right?" I asked. Peeta thought it over then said "Yeah, it really could, but we need to get them to see each other more often, and are you sure your ok with the fact that Haymitch will be technically be your dad?" He asked. "Of course i'm ok with it! Look what he did for us!" I said. We smiled. I was ok with the fact that he would be my dad. I actually really needed a dad, but nobody will ever replace my real dad, no one ever. "Tag, your it!" Forest yelled touching Willow. "You got me again!" Willow yelled back. "Ok time for tree climbing lessons!" I yelled. "Yay!" Willow yelled. "Nooooo!" Forest yelled. "Come on Forest, even I don't like it, but I need to learn how." Peeta said patting him on the shoulder. "Yeah, and it's fun!" Willow said smiling at me. I smiled back. We walked into the woods and found a tree that wasnt to big or small. "This one will be for you Willow." I said. The tree for her is medium, she already kind of knows how to climb trees but not big ones yet. "And for you forest your tree will be this one." I said. It was a beginner tree. "Ok! Ready, set, climb!" Peeta yelled. I saw Willow climb, she was so good! Forest kept slipping but he got the hang of it. "Good job Forest your doing great." I said. "Willow fantastic job!" I said. "Thanks mommy!" She said beaming at me. Willow got to the top to her tree. "Ok Willow climb down!" I yelled up to her. "Got it mom!" She yelled back. "Forest how are you going?" I asked. "Umm good." He said almost reaching the top. "Yay Forest! Now all you have to do is climb down!" I said. "MOM!" Willow yelled. I looked over and there was that bear, with an arrow through his stomach, trying to climb up Willow's tree. "WILLOW!" I yelled.
