"Forest go home! Go run and hide! Hide with Buttercup!" I yelled. "But, but-" He tried to say. "GO!" I yelled. I ran after Willow. I shot the bear, but this time in the neck. It layed down. "Mom mom mom!" Willow cried. I ran up to the bear to check if it was dead. It growled and whined. "Willow are you ok?" I asked getting her down from the tree. "No, no that scared me!" She cried. "I know the bears dead everythings ok. Ok?" I asked. "Okay. But can we please go home." She asked. "Yes." I said back. I held her the whole walk to our house. When I opened the door Forest and Peeta ran right for us. "Is everything ok?" Peeta asked. "Yes." I said hugging Willow and Forest. "Mom I hid with Buttercup in your and dad's shower." Forest said. "Good job." I said kissing him on the forehead. "Wheres Buttercup?" I asked. "Yeah, where is he?" Willow also asked. "He went under Willow's covers after daddy came and asked me to come out." "K." I said. "Did you hurt him?" Willow asked. "No. I held him and kind of layed on him to keep him safe for you." Forest said looking up at Willow. She smiled. "Really?" Willow asked. Forest nodded his head. It was getting dark out and we missed dinner. "You guys hungry?" I asked. "No." Forest said. "No." Willow repeated. "Wait did you get the bear?" Peeta asked. "Peeta I had Willow in my arms so no!" I said. "I'll go get it." He said. "Peeta my turn to get something." I said. "No you stay here with the kids." He said. I thought about it. "Fine, but next time, i'm going." I said. "Fine. But i'll protest." He said leaving. "Go get ready for bed." I said to the kids. I went upstairs to tuck in the kids and opened the door. "Are you cuddling with Buttercup?" I asked Willow. "Yep! Hes such a good kitty." She said rubbing her cheek aganist his. We laughed. "Forest do you have something to cuddle up to?" I asked. "No." He said frowning. I remembered I kept a stuffed animal from when I was 6. "Be right back." I said. I went into Peeta and I's room and searched through the drawers and found my green teddy bear. I walked back into the kids room. "Here you go. It's very special, so take good care of it." I said giving it to Forest. "Thanks mommy!" He said hugging it. I heard Peeta come in downstairs. I kissed them both on the head and tucked them in. "Goodnight. Daddy will be in here in a few minutes. Sweet dreams." I said shutting off the lights. When I walked down the stairs I saw Peeta but no bear. "Peeta? Wheres the bear?" I asked. "It wasn't there." He said looking at the floor.
