Annie's Pov

After breakfast, we all decide to walk down to the park.

It's not that long of a walk, just about a half of a mile or so.

But, since Rye wouldn't keep up with us, we put him in his wagon and pulled him along.

"MUSIC I NEED MUSIC!" Johanna screams pulling out her phone.

She puts it on shuffle and slides it back into her pocket.

Gun Powder and Lead starts playing, quite loud and it doesn't help Jo starts singing very off key along with it.

"GUN POWDER GUN POWDER GUN POWDER AND LEADDDDDDD!" She screams.

This of course causes Rye to start screaming too, just because he can.

"Nahdbskmdbjsnndn!" Rye screams.

"JO!" I scream over the music.

She cuts it off and gives me a glare.

Once we reach the park, all the adults take turns pushing Rye on the swing.

"Once upon a time is like the best show everrrrrrr," Jo says talking to Rye.

"Really? I don't think I've ever watched it," he says.

"HOW OMG YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT!" She yells.

"Ok what's it about?" he asks.

"It's kind of like modern day fairy tales, its so good,"

"Oh well, I'll have to watch it," he says,"How do you feel about Criminal Minds?" he asks.

"BEST SHOW EVER," She says.

"Yeah it's my favorite," he says smiling.

"It's at a tie with Once Upon A Time for tops," Jo says thinking.

"What about Psych?" Rye says.

"BRUH THAT SHOW IS LIKE FROM 2006 IT'S LAST SEASON WAS LAST MARCH AND I CRIED SO HARD!" Jo says with a little too much enthusiasm.

"I know right, it was like the besttttt," Rye says dragging out the last word.

I leave them to talk while I go to take Rye from Finnick.

"I've got him," I say to Finn switching spots.

"Alright, thank you," he says kissing my cheek and walking away.

"Oh wait come here!" I call after Finnick.

"Yes?" he asks coming back.

I reach up and whisper in his ear,"they are having some serious bonding time so try not to be so talkative and let them get used to eachother,"

"Got it," he says giving me a thumbs up and a smile and turning on his heel and walking back towards the picnic table.

"Are you having fun baby?" I ask Rye pushing him on the swing.

"Yes," he says shoving his fingers in his mouth.

"That's good," I say continuing to push him.

I see Johanna walking over and behind her, Rye and Finnick are in deep conversation about something.

"They are talking about some stupid football game," she says angry.

"I told Finn to back off for a while!" I say.

"Ya well, a while must be 2 minutes!" she says.

"I guess," I shrug.

"Y'all are already so cute when you guys are around eachother," I sigh.

"Oh I know, that's why I got his Instagram and a selfie with him," she says smirking.

"Oh my gosh really?!" I squeal.

"Duh," she says pulling out her phone.

She goes to Instagram and posts the photo.

I pull out my phone after I get Rye high enough for me to stop pushing for a minute.

I see I'm tagged by Jo and I smirk and click on the photo.

It's a picture of them, they are both smiling really wide and me and Finnick are tagged in the corner, while Rye Is tagged on his eye.

Jo's caption for it is

Fun at the park with my favz💋🔪🔥💘💥

I laugh and screen shot the photo because when they get married, I'm gonna make them a GAINT scrap book.

Notice how I said when not if.

I like it and scroll through my feed for a minute.

I lock my phone and continue pushing Rye.

"He's so sweet you know," she says.

"Who Rye?" I ask.

"Of course who else would I be talking about?" she says instantly.

"Oh I don't know," I laugh.

"70 Likes!" she says pumping her fist.

"Aw, that's so cute," I say.

"Oh I know," she says with a grin.
