Haymitch finds out Katniss is pregnant four different times. Hilarity ensues.
The two of them finding out about the pregnancy could have gone fifty ways south and west, but somehow it ended with them both sitting on the kitchen floor, surrounded by two broken kitchen plates and literally laughing their asses off.
It had started with something like "Haymitch we need to buy a crib" and ended with something along the lines of "Oh sweetheart, you'd think I'm too old for this shit".
Maybe they could move on.

Little Hope is two years old and learning to walk when Katniss walks in and lays the test in his lap. Hope gurgles excitedly at the sight of her mother, her mouth opening in excitement. He looks at it, looks at Hope, and then back at her, raises an eyebrow.
"Is it mine?"
She slaps him. Hope laughs too hard and falls on her bum.

Faith isn't even a good year on the earth when Haymitch walks in on Katniss. She's sitting on the bathroom floor, looking through a baby name book, four little positive tests sitting on the bathtub ledge.
Haymitch sighs and sits down next to her, names flying off his tongue - namesakes from his family tree and names of children he's always liked. She chooses Beatrix for a little girl.

It's five years later and Haymitch comes home from grocery shopping to be greeted by a very angry Johanna. He's backed against a door as she snarls and growls under her breath.
"You better have a boy this time," she hisses. He takes note of the pink bows in her hair and the make-up decorating her not-so-soft features.
Haymitch laughs.
