Neither Effie nor Haymitch appears in this chapter...

ps: Katniss and Peeta are Hayffie shippers

Peeta and Katniss were eating pastries at his bakery. Peeta handed Katniss a cream puff and she took a bite of it.

"How does my cream puff like her cream puff?" he smirked.

"Hmmm, this is really good Peeta. A new cream puff recipe of yours?" She asked as she took another huge bite off the pastry.

"Nope, Effie made them..." he stated as he took a pastry of his own.

"The same Effie that was once District 12's escort?" She asked. It came as a shock to them both that District 12's ex-escort was a pretty skilled chef and baker. It turns out that cooking and baking was a hobby of hers. Peeta even offered her a job at the bakery, which she gladly took.

"The very one. She's my best employee actually."

"Peeta, she's your only employee." Katniss stated.

"Yeah..."

They continued to eat in silence then Peeta noticed that Katniss looked like she was intensely thinking of something.

"Something wrong Katniss?" he asked

"No, I was just thinking of something..." she replied.

"What's on your mind?" he smiled at her.

"Effie and Haymitch."

"Why?" Peeta raised an eyebrow and gave her a questioning look.

"They have really changed."

"But we all did." he stated in a sad tone. They were all damaged by the rebellion in one way or another but they all try to forget and move on.

"No, I mean I think we're not really seeing the whole story. I think something's going on between those two."

"What are you suggesting? That they have a secret affair?" he smirked. Katniss punched him in the shoulder.

"I'm saying that they secretly like each other."

"Oh, Katniss. You only realized that now? It's really obvious..." he smiled at her. Katniss glared at him.

'You big liar!" she said jokingly.

"Fine! I only thought of it when you pointed it out. Happy?" He raised his arms in defeat before bursting out laughing.

"Why? What's so funny." she raised an eyebrow.

"Remember when you guys were helping me with the reopening?" he smirked at her- a thought is playing in his head.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Remember the remark I said about Haymitch and Effie being parents. I was just imagining them to be a family. That would be wacky; like a sitcom."

"Peeta, we can't really tell." she defended them.

"How about a little experiment then. Let's ask em to make babies." he smirked.

Katniss' cheeks turned bright red and she wasn't able to look Peeta straight in the eye. It is evident that she's very uncomfortable with the topic at hand.

"P-peeta, don't!"

"Why not? You did say that they liked each other." he smirked

"Change of topic!" she exclaimed.

"You're cute when you feel awkward." Peeta chuckled.

"Shut up! It's not funny!" Katniss tried to sound serious but she couldn't help but smile.

"Oh really? Then why are you smiling." he smirked.

"This conversation never happened!" she exclaimed.

"But it did Katniss."

"Peeta!"

"Okay! Okay! It never happened. Are you happy now?" Peeta raised both of his arms in defeat.

"Very!"

"Good!" He stole a kiss.

"I don't want you to be upset on our anniversary. You know as an actual couple..." he continued

"But our anniversary is not until Friday." she stated.

"So? No one ever said that it can't be a week celebration."

"Oh Peeta..." She smiled sweetly at him.

"Come with me out in the back. I have a surprise for you."

Katniss followed her boyfriend to the back room. Peeta went to the fridge then grabbed a tall white cake box. He removed the lid and took out the contents of the box. It was a two-tiered cake covered in a mint green fondant and was decorated with light yellow sugar primroses and molding chocolate foliage. It was simple, elegant and beautiful.

"Do you like it?" he asked.

"Like it? Peeta I love it!" she hugged him in glee.

"I'm glad. I really worked hard on it too. It's a red velvet cake with a cream cheese and ganache filling." he stated.

"Well, let's have a slice then." she said.

Sometimes their thoughts get the better of them; they recall their sufferings and they would sometimes "observe" other people too much but this day was theirs. They are together and happy and right now that's the only thing that matters to both of them.

This was originally suppose to be just a discussion between Peeta and Katniss regarding Effie and Haymitch's relationship but I wanted to add more depth to Peeniss as well so I added the part about the cake.

I hope you guys like this one. Your reviews are much appreciated.
