Thank you for reading, the reviews and everything else. All of you are AWESOME! Okay, here's the new chapter...

Enjoy!
*~KelsNicole~*

(If I haven't expressed this already: THANK YOU all soooooooooo much for all of the support on this story. Effie and Haymitch shippers are the BEST!) :)

(I took too long, so this chapter is un-Beta-ed, but my amazing Beta Beth is back on! :)

Effie:

The rain hits the window and makes me unravel a little. Our wedding is in two days and tomorrow night is the rehearsal dinner. I look down at the large white book with every detail written down on its creamy white pages and let out a deep breath. Hopefully it doesn't rain tomorrow or else we'll end up inside the house and the whole thing will be ruined. Stopping, I takes a deep breath and shuts my eyes. Silently I remind myself what Haymitch keeps telling me, no matter what everything will be alright and the wedding will be wonderful. Every time that I starts to worry, he promises me that everything will be alright and as long as they have each other it will be perfect. Opening my eyes, she hears a light knock on the door and rushes to answer it. It might be Madge or Katniss or maybe Prim-

"What are you doing here?" I stare at him in shock and anger floods through me, not believing that he would actually show up here. Bending over slightly, I pull my shoe off and start hitting him with it. "I told you to stay away from me! Is this staying away from me? LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"Effie, stop! Ow-that hurts-EFFIE!" I stop and we stare at each other. His eyes lock with mine and I step back, breathing hard. Right now all that I want to do is grab him by the neck and strangle him, the man who tried to ruin everything that I have just for his own personal gain. "Why did you do that for? Is that how you treat a guest?"

I laugh and shake my head at him. "A guest? Doesn't that imply that I invited you here? You are no guest of mine, so just go right back to the Capitol where you belong. I don't need or want you anymore, can't you just accept that and leave me alone? Please?"

"You don't want to be with him and you don't have to be. Effie, I'll take you back right here and right now. He doesn't deserve you," says Melvin, his voice light. I start to shut the door, but he stops me. "Think about it, does he deserve you? No. Do I deserve you? Yes. Effie, make the right choice here and choose the man who can love you more than the other can. Me. I am the right choice."

I push on the door again, but it doesn't work. He stands there, staring at me and smiling away. Slowly I back away from him and he walks into my house. The smile on his lips widens, making me feel like I'm just a toy to him. My back ends up against the wall and I glare at him. What is he doing to me? My heart is pounding and all that I can do is hope that he'll leave me alone, but I know that is not the case.

"Effie, you love me too. We belong together," he whispers, walking closer to me. Shaking my head, I stare at him and wish that he wasn't really here. "Think about it. We were raised close to each other and our own parents saw us ending up together. Look back at it all..."

"I am not who I was and I'm not sure who you were back then, but I don't like who you are right now." Glaring at him, I push past him and walk over to the door, gesturing to it. "You're wrong about one thing, I don't deserve him. Don't you ever try to tell me any different."

He shakes his head and walks over to me, stroking my cheek. My hand goes up and swats it away, making him frown. "You're wrong, you only deserve me and I deserve you."

"Get over yourself. I'm getting married in two days and there's nothing that you can do about it, do you understand?" We glare at each other and he gives a slight shrug. "You are not going to ruin this for me. My mother...she never knew what was best for anyone and she might have loved you, but I never did."

"You're wrong again, lying through your teeth." He walks over to me and kisses me. I push away from him and glare at him, shoes still in hand. One of my shoes hit him in the gut and he glares at me, as he doubles over. "You'll realize who you want and it will be too late."

My eyes are filled with hatred as I stare at him. "I know who I want and its not you. Haymitch has me and you'll never be half the man that he is."

I watch him stand up and walk over the threshold, looking back at me. He smiles at me, as though he's about to win something and I know that he won't. We will never be together and we never should have been. Everything with him was a huge mistake and I can't take it back, ever.

"I'll see you soon, my dear," is all that he says and he turns away, leaving me here in shock.

Haymitch:

This boy cannot be serious! But by the way that he's smiling at me, I know that he is and that I'm going to end up agreeing to all of this anyway. My eyes go back to the five layered cake, with light pink flowers, bright green vines making their way up to the top, where all of them meet in the center and standing where they meet are two figures, that are supposed to be Effie and myself. Shaking my head, I turn away and I already can see the look of joy on Peeta's face. Why a wedding? I love her, but this woman is going to kill me.

Nodding my head, I start to walk towards the front of the bakery, but Peeta stops me. I turn back to him and see the smile on his lips, making me know that I did the right thing. Sighing, I shake my head a few times and can't wait until this wedding is over. We will be married and I'll never have to do any of this again. But I will do anything for my sweetheart. Walking around a few times and looking back over at Peeta, I let out a light breath.

"I'm doing everything that I can for her, I love her. But, I think that the cake is over the line." Peeta starts laughing and shakes his head. I walk back over to the chair and sit down, letting out a long sigh. "Maybe I should be talking to Katniss about this, its not like you would understand. She's in the same position as I am."

"What?" asks Peeta, as I walk into the main part of the shop and standing there is little Ace. She smiles up at me as her dad comes walking out of the back. "Little Ace, come on over here and we'll get you a cookie."

"Uncle Haymishhh!" She comes running at me and that's when I see the little basket in her hands. A second later Katniss comes walking in and looks at Acacia, letting a deep breath out. I smile at her as I look down at her belly. "I'm going to be a flower girl!"

My smile widens and I take her basket away from her. "Are you now? That sounds like a lot of fun. Are you ready for your first lesson, with Aunt Effie?"

"Yes!" She starts twirling around and runs over to the counter, where she takes a cookie, with bright pink frosting on it. Her eyes light up as she bites into the cookie and she runs back over to Peeta, hugging him and kissing him. Her eyes are on me as she takes Katniss's hand. "Come with us!"

"I wouldn't miss this for anything." This makes her squeal and run outside, with Katniss following closely behind. Shaking my head, I follow behind with Katniss and laugh. She looks over at me and I start laughing even harder. "Nothing, its nothing..."

"Just tell me what's so funny, obviously it has to be good. Come on," she says, her eyes still on little Ace. I shake my head and she sighs in frustration. "What were you laughing about? Just tell me, come on."

"We are more alike than either of us thought and it seems as though we keep going. You do anything to please Peeta and I do anything to please Effie, the same." I smile at her and rub her belly. She swats at my hand and I laugh. "Don't you see? You're going to end up with eight kids before your thirty."

She raises an eyebrow at me. "And you're going to have ten little ones running around. She's going to get you to do it, I know she is."

"And how may I ask?" I raise an eyebrow at her and her smile widens.

Katniss stops in front of Effie's house as Acacia runs into the house. "Like you said before, we are the same and look at what happened to me. I swore no kids and we have one, with one on the way. Do you know something though? I love them and wouldn't change anything."

"One difference between you and I? I've messed up a lot and you're good with kids," I say in a light voice and hope that no one hears me. "Katniss, I should not be allowed to have children. You've seen me on my worst days and no kid should have to live with that."

"You don't give yourself enough credit. Think about Aca, she loves you and you do great with her." She looks over at the house, where Effie is stopping Acacia from picking her bright pink flowers. "No ones a perfect parent and all that you can really do is try. Look at Aca, I think that she could do better with someone else as her mom, but I love her and I know when you have kids with Effie, you'll feel the same."

WOOO! Next chapter will be fun! :D Haha! Okay, only a few more chapters to go and I hope that all of you like the story so far. :( It's almost over! This will be the first story that I actually give up the story line with, so I don't know how this is going to go. Thank you for reading and please leave a review.

Hm...who's ready for some little cute Acacia as the flower girl? I'm thinking about five more chapters maybe? I'm sad that the stories ending... (I don't want to drag it out and ruin it...)
