Woohoo! Hey everyone! The new chapter is right here and I might have had a little too much fun with it. :D Thank you for reading, for all of the reviews and everything else. Oddly I am having a really easy time writing the two of them, even though it took me a while to first get into them. :D Effie and Haymitch time!

Enjoy!

(Who do you like more Effie or Haymitch? :D Hehe, I have to ask!)

Effie POV:

Sitting down in the kitchen I pick up a tea cup and start to make some tea. I turn around with my cup of tea and a mile on my lips. Katniss walks into the room and I almost jump. How does this girl get into houses, without making any sounds? With a small smile on my lips I walk back over to the kitchen table and sit down. She smiles at me as she walks farther into the room and sits down across from me. My gaze drops down to the table and I smile to myself. Oh, I don't know if I should talk to her about tonight or not. When my gaze goes back up to her eyes, she smiles at me and my smile widens. The two of us sit here in silence as I try to decide how much to tell her and if I should at all. Of course I need to talk to someone and she's the only person here.

"So, how did the date go?" Katniss asks me and I smile even wider. I start to bite my lip thinking about the night and how I wish that the kiss had never ended. "Haymitch wasn't really in a talking mood, but he seemed in a really good mood. I've never seen him in such a good mood."

"You saw him? How was he?" She smiles even wider and I know that I have to watch what I say. I take a deep breath and smile at her. "Did he have a good time? He told me that he did, but you never know when Haymitch is being true or not. It looked like he enjoyed the date."

Katniss smiles at me and starts to nod her head a bit. "He was happy and he seemed to of had a good night. Of course, Haymitch being Haymitch he wouldn't talk. What about you? Did you have a good time with Haymitch on the date? You both seem...really happy."

"I had a really good time. Haymitch was so...proper and so good." The way that she's looking at me is as though she's going to search for more. We smile at each other and I look down at my tea cup. "I just have one small question, does Greasy Sae usually use wild dog in her soup? He said something about her sometimes using it in the soup, but that he heard her talking to Gale and that she said that there was none in this batch."

"It depends on what we catch for her. Sometimes she does and she's one of the only people who will take wild dogs from us." She says to me with a wide smile and my face drops a little. "But yesterday we didn't get any wild dog or the day before, so I think that you're safe. Don't worry about that, the wild dog isn't that much different from the other meats she uses and its meat."

"Ugh, how could anyone possibly think that? I can't believe that he told me about the wild dog while I was eating it!" Katniss starts to laugh and I shake my head a little. We stare at each other and she keeps laughing. "I don't understand why he told me about it! Doesn't he understand how unappetizing the soup sounded after he told me that?"

"Effie, here in District Twelve no one really cared what they were eating if it kept them alive. With people who've always lived in the Districts, they wouldn't care." She says in a low voice and I nod my head a little as she plays with her wedding band. My eyes drop down to her stomach. "I know how you feel though, sometimes we would walk in with a wild dog and Greasy Sae would tell me if there was any in that days batch. But I would have eaten it anyways."

"It was wonderful though, the whole dog thing and all." I say with a small smile and my eyes flicker towards the window. Haymitch is in his kitchen and I see that he's sitting at the table with Peeta. These kids know what their doing, I'll give them that. Acacia is on Peeta's lap and I can't help but smile. "He is a wonderful man and I can't wait to see what happens on our next date."

She smiles at me and nods her head a little. "You'll have a great time on your next date. Every date is special in its own way and my first date with Peeta, was after we got married. Haymitch is happy with you and I can see that you are happy with him."

Katniss stands up and walks into the sitting room. I smile at her as she says good bye and leaves the house. Walking over to the window I watch to see if she goes over to Haymitch's house and of course she walks right up to the door. Katniss walks into the house and I can't help but laugh. Now Haymitch has both of them and I wish him luck with that.

"Good luck." I whisper as I back away from the window. A small smile forms on my lips as I watch Katniss walk into the room and I start to laugh as he throws his hands up in the air. "Oh...now you have all three of them. Enjoy them, you don't know how lucky you are."

Haymitch POV:

I shake my head as Peeta questions me about how my night went and that little girl with the light pink bow on her dress stares at me. These kids just won't leave me alone! Acacia's little hand reaches out to me and I can't help but smile, she's getting closer to walking. Yesterday I saw her crawling around on the floor and I couldn't help but laugh. Katniss started chasing the little girl around the room, putting pillows down around the house just in case and she looked like she was insane. Right now I really wish that I could have one small sip of my alcohol, because I could really use some right now. Shouldn't these kids be leaving me alone a little more now? Effie and I went on a date why make a big deal out of it? Doesn't it seem like it wouldn't be the biggest thing to hit District Twelve?

"Why don't you go home to the love of your life? You two could talk about my date and you'd get more of a response out of her, then you will me." I shake my head and start to laugh. But my eyes flicker over to the window and I sigh when I see Katniss sitting across from her. The two of them look like they are happy and I wonder what they are talking about. Did Effie have a good time? I'm not supposed to care and for some reason I do! This is wonderful, after all of this time pushing away from everyone it comes crumbling down on me. "I promised her a second date. Where do you think I should take her? She really seemed to enjoy tonight."

"Are you going off of what she told you or off of how she's acting with Katniss?" I look over at him and he's smiling. "Come on, you are finally doing good and you have Effie."

I shake my head a little and Peeta rolls his eyes. "Don't say that...I do not have Effie. Jeez, after one date everyone acts like we are getting married! Really? Why don't all of you just go and gossip about this behind my back? Wouldn't that be better then doing this?"

A smile forms on Peeta's lips and I hear her voice, slowly I turn around. When I see her standing there, I through my hands up in the air and want to scream. Of course Katniss would come back! She is Katniss after all! I roll my eyes and stand up to leave the room. My eyes stay on her as she walks across the room and takes Aca from Peeta. Her and Peeta kiss, then she turns her attention onto their child. I see the joy in all of their eyes and wonder if I'll ever have that with-

"Oh, you two have to leave and now! I'm serious!" They both look over at me and they both look confused. Shaking my head a little I wonder if there's any way for me to get my hands on a bottle. "This whole...family thing is making me have second thoughts and if it keeps going I might get a bottle. Can't I just sit here and try to get back to enjoying my night? Is that too much to ask?"

Katniss smiles at me. "Do you want to start a family, Haymitch? I think that you two would be cute together and would have an...interesting family."

"After seeing yours I wouldn't doubt it." I spit back at her and she just laughs. This girl has to leave me alone and now. Peeta puts his arms around Katniss and kisses her on the top of her head as he pulls her towards the door. "Bye, I'll see you two later."

"Haymitch, I can help you plan another date...if you'd like." Peeta offers and I look over at the kid. Does he really want to just help me? When he came over he seemed genially happy for me and I know that I'm screwed now. "Effie will be happy as long as she's with you."

Katniss smiles at the two of us and nods her head. "She had a really good time and I can tell that she won't be getting much sleep tonight. It looked like she was debating with herself if she should come over here or not. Have a good night, Haymitch."

They leave me and now all that I can think about is Effie. Oh, this is just great! Now I want to see her again and I don't want to wait until the morning. Slowly I start to walk around my house and think about my options. One, I could go over to her house and be with her...like we both want to. Two, I could go back on my little promise and go back to the old Haymitch...but I could loose Effie and the kids that way. Three, go to bed...another great option. But while I'm still thinking about what to do, I walk out the front door and before I know it I'm standing in front of her house. Taking deep breaths I stare at her door and wonder where she is and what she's thinking about. Fuck this, I'm going to go and get me two big bottles.

"Haymitch?" I turn around and see her standing in the doorway. She's wearing a nightgown that stops at her knees, a light pink nightgown. "What are you doing?"

Oh shit...
