Chapter 7 - Doctor's Appointment

Effie POV.

Today, I am officially 6 months pregnant. I have a doctor's appointment were we could luckily find out the genders. We could've known the past appointment but it seems like the babies took after it's father. The babies were already as stubborn as their father and wouldn't allow us to see.

The doctor said that there was a possibility that the babies would move and by this appointment we could see the genders. Haymitch is hoping for boys. he wants to be able to teach them how to fight and play soccer and baseball. He was really excited about the babies, something nobody thought they would see.

I really don't care for the gender I just want my two babies to be healthy. But, if I was to choose, I would like a girl but also a little boy. I could dress my daughter and teach her how to be a lady. I could teach my son how to respect a woman. Haymitch could teach them how to defend themselves. he could also teach out son how to fight and some boy tip to conquer woman.

I can already imagine it. A little girl with long, curly blonde hair. Her eyes, gray like Haymitch. My nose. She would be beautiful and be as stubborn as her father. But she would also have manners and be a lady from me. And of course very intelligent.

I also imagine a little boy with blonde, almost brown, straight hair. My green eyes and his father nose. He would be very athletic and also very intelligent. He would be just like his father, smart and athletic but don't mess with him because he will hurt you.

We got in the car to get to the appointment. Since I am 6 months pregnant and beginning to have difficulty walking, Haymitch doesn't want me doing a lot of walking and wants me resting. He has been reading the pregnancy books I bought. He has been reading and night and has been hiding that he has been reading. He doesn't know that I sometimes catch him at night reading while I am sleeping.

He has been doing everything he can for me to be comfortable. Whenever I tell him my feet are hurting or my back, he rubs them for me. He also has been sacrificing some sleep to go to the store and get the food of my crazy cravings.

Sometimes I wake up at 4 in the morning wanting ice cream and he has to run to the store to buy me some. He even stays up with me will I am finished eating. he also lays with me and tubs my bump. I also catch him talking to the babies at night.

He always says almost the same thing. Last night speech was something like this," Hey little guys, are you guys comfortable? I hope you are. I want you guys to know that me and your mommy love you guys with all our heart. You guys are the best thing that has happened to us. I have done a lot of things that I am not proud of, but you guys and your mommy are the people I that make me proud of who I am. I have done lots of things to make this world better and I would make a lot more things just so that my children have the best life they could have. I just wanted to also ask you to please try and not move so much, your mommy loves it but it sometimes hurts her or bothers her. I love you guys so much, have a good night sleep."

And with that he kisses my bump twice. The moment his lips touch my bump, the babies start kicking. It's like they know he is there and that this man is their father. Every time he is not talking or simply not close to me they don't kick when he is near me or talking they kick like crazy. I sometimes feel that they will love their dad more than myself.

This small details Haymitch does for me and the babies are one of the many reason I love him.

Nobody POV.

Effie and Haymitch are now in the appointment, the doctor is looking at the screen, searching if they can know the gender of the babies.

"Aha! Yes they moved and we are now able to see the gender's. Are you sure you want to know?" He asked as he moved the machine for them to be able to see the screen. Effie and Haymitch just nodded.

"Okay then, here in the screen you can see that baby number one is definitely a little boy." The doctor said while smiling at the couple. Haymtich simple looked at Effie with a huge smile in his face. Effie had tears in my eyes. "A little boy Effie! We are getting a little boy!" Haymitch tell her really excited.

"Yes, we are Haymitch." Effie say, some tears already spilling from her eyes.

"And then the baby number two is a little girl." The doctor said smiling as he pressed a bottom and a picture of the ultrasound was printed. All the tears in her eyes spilled. If it weren't for her smile, somebody would think she was crying because of sadness.

"Haymitch! We get one of each!" He is out of words. He simply kisses her. Thanks the doctor and helps Effie to the car. A little boy he can teach how to defend himself and how to be a gentleman. Also a little girl he can spoil.

He can already imagine his life in the future. Haymitch carrying his sons bag after a football game. Also himself carrying a tutu and some ballet flats waiting for her daughter to get downstairs to be able to leave to her dance class.

3 or 5 years ago, Haymitch would have laughed his butt off, when he would imagine himself like that. But know, married to Effie and his children in 3 months being born, he wouldn't want it any other way.
