Yes.. this has to be the worst story I ever wrote. I'm so sorry, really I am. I was forced to post this... Oi.

"Effie, you can do this, just breath!" Haymitch held her hand strongly, running his fingers through her white-blonde natural hair. She hadn't wore a wing since the wedding, and he was proud of her. She was starting to grow on District 12 as well. She was as cheery as ever, and everyone could use that around here in these times.
"I don't think I can.." She whispered back. She wasn't used to pain, but she did it for Haymitch, the babies, Katniss, Peeta, Prim and . They all wanted to see the twins, and it was about time they came out!
By now she had only one left. The boy was born first, Josh. He had the smiling face of Haymitch, his mothers nose and his Father's straight hair. Effie only saw a glimpse of him before Prim went off to clean him with Peeta and Katniss, who were learning for when the girl came out.
Haymitch knew she wasn't that strong, even the woman had admitted it, but he was sure she could do this. She smashed her head against the table and cried. It was still dark outside.
"I can't… Haymitch, I can't.." She sobbed into his shirt, no thinking that her makeup was running onto the silk shirt she had just bought him from the Capital.
She fell asleep as the last and final body slid out, resting her head in Haymitch's lap. "You two can go on home.." He stoke through her hair and once they were alone, kissed her forehead. Whispering into her ear, he smiled happily. "I'm so proud of you Effie.. I love you so much." She stirred softly in her sleep, and took his hand in hers.
The girl turned out to be named Orabelle, and she had her Mother's blue eyes and white-blonde curly hair. This was something that was theirs. All theirs. A miracle that nobody else could recreate. A wonder of when two secret lovers such as themselves, showed the world they didn't care. And that they loved each other so much. And truly.
