Chapter two

Haymitch was asleep whilst Effie rested her head on his chest thinking over the last couple of hours, her parents would have killed her if she even thought about falling for someone from the Districts especially a drunken ex-victor, but she loved him and it made her feel like she actually belonged somewhere, belonged to someone instead of faking everything, faking every word that came out of her mouth. Tomorrow she could wake up and tell people truthfully that it would be a big, big, big day.

When she woke the next day she didn't really get to see Haymitch much because she was so busy arranging Katniss's day and what she must do but she couldn't wait until she saw him next.

Days had passed after Katniss was arrested for shooting president Coin and Effie had still not seen Haymitch, days turn into weeks until she found out that Katniss had been released and Haymitch and Katniss were going back to district 12. Why didn't he tell her, why hadn't he talked to her, she was so confused especially that she found out that she was pregnant just yesterday she wanted to tell him the good news. When she tried to go after them they told her she wouldn't be allowed to go to district 12 for another mouth.

Hours in the capital felt like years and every moment she wanted to be with him but she couldn't, she even thought about calling him but he shouldn't hear that he was going to be a father over the phone. But finally the month was up and she got on a train to see him though it took several days to get there from the capital because most of the districts were under reconstruction she finally got of the train and as quickly as she could, most of the way to the victors village man would come up to her and ask her if she needed help because they noticed the small bulge appearing on her belly and instantly knew she was with child but she turned them down and continued to Haymitch's house.

She knocked on the door but there is no answer so she opens it and lets her self in, the place is in squaller and there is Haymitch sleeping on the kitchen table. She ignores the state of the place while she walks over to Haymitch and shacks him awake, he instantly pulls a spoon out from under his head and tries to threaten her with it but soon realizes it is her and puts it down.

"What are you doing here?" he asked getting up off the table.

"Well you're the one that said you loved me," she said not quite sure what she was doing here either, but she loved him and she wanted to be next to him ever second and if that meant living in district 12 and putting up with the difficult parts of him than she would.

"Wow you've gained some weight haven't you," he said looking her up and down.

She suddenly felt like she was going to slap him but then remembered he had probable never see a pregnant woman before.

"You must be eating well up there in the Capital."

"Not any better than any where else."

"What are you doing here again?" he says rubbing his forehead and squinting at her.

"I – I want to live with you, here in district 12 because I love you and-" she looks down to the floor smiling then back to him, the features on his face are confused obviously at her happiness "I'm pregnant."

Haymitch has a face of disbelief, she is pregnant? What is he going to do he can't be a father he'd completely fuck that child's life up.

"You need to leave."

"What?"

"Leave now."

"Why?"

"Just leave, go back to your happy life in the capital."

"Why are you saying this?"

"Go, go away."

"Haymitch I don't understand you said you."

"LEAVE GO AWAY!" Haymitch yells at he than fell to the floor one the bottom step of the stairs crying.

After a minute Effie walked over to him sitting beside him and raped her arms around him. He in turn rapped his arms around her and kissed her on the forehead tenderly, there was no bound to the love he had for her but he would be the worst father and partner for Effie and she dissevered much, much better than him.

"I – I would make an atrocious father and an even worse person to be with, and you can do much better."

"You would make a wonderful father, and sure you have your problems but you're the better than I could have imagined, at least I am with some one I love and makes me happy and he loves me back."

He looks up at her, looks into her eyes that he thinks are the most beautiful he had ever seen and he kisses her.
