Anonymous requested: "How about Olive's reaction when they tell her she's going to have another sibling?"

"We can have a sleepover?"

Those were the first words to come out of Olive's mouth after Effie and Haymitch had sat her down to share with her some very important news. Effie looked over at Haymitch nervously, a soft laugh escaping from her lips before she returned her attention back to her daughter. For weeks they had been trying to figure out the best way to break the news to the toddler. After all, she had been the center of attention for the last three years. Things would be different now. Very different.

"Well, of course you can, I guess," Effie said slowly, beginning to think Olive did not understand completely what they were getting at. "But you'll have to wait until she or he is a tiny bit older. This isn't like one of your preschool friends, love. It's a baby."

"I know what a baby is," Olive said playing with a loose piece of carpet. "Oak Kingston has one. It cries a lot when his mom brings it to pick him up from school. Sometimes it even smells like poo."

"Well…" Effie hesitated chewing on her bottom lip. "Babies tend to do that for the first several months… Isn't that right, Haymitch?"

Haymitch grunted in response which prompted Effie to glare at him. Inhaling deeply, she looked back at her daughter, offering a small smile. God, how she hoped Olive wouldn't be too jealous when the kid actually arrived. For the past few nights, that's all she had been dreading about.

"Olive," Effie began. "You do know what the baby means, yes? Mommy is pregnant. Why, there is a little brother or sister for you growing in my tummy as we speak."

"Technically it isn't the stomach," Haymitch mumbled. "I thought we agreed to use proper terminology with her?"

"I overruled that decision when it became me who was breaking the news," Effie snapped. "Anyway, darling, you're going to be a big sister in a few months. You'll have your own baby like your friend, Oak. Isn't that exciting?"

Olive looked up from her tinkering and blinked at her parents. "I'm going to be a big sister?" She asked.

Haymitch and Effie looked at each other before returning their attention back to their daughter with a nod. Effie's eyes fixed on Olive and watched as her confused face began to shift into one of pure glee. With a squeal, she leaped forward towards Effie only stopping when Haymitch caught her.

"Woah, easy there, Half Pint," he gently warned. "You don't want to hurt your mom."

"A baby," she exclaimed. "I get my own baby!"

"I'm…I'm awfully glad you're excited about it," Effie sighed with relief. "I hope this attitude continues after your sibling is born."

"When can I meet her?" Olive asked, looking around the room. "When is she coming? Should I go clean my room?

"It won't be for while," Effie assured her. "She still has a lot of growing to do. But, here."

Carefully, Effie took Olive's hand and placed it to the apex of her stomach. The toddler was silent, a look a confusion crossing her features. Then, from within, Effie felt the familiar kick originating from her womb and watched as Olive's eyes grew in surprise after feeling it too.

"Was that her?!" She breathed. "Was that my sister?"

"Or brother," Haymitch added. "Your mother refuses to know the gender until after the baby is here. Why, I don't know. I would have thought she'd prefer to be prepared instead of surprised…"

Effie pursed her lips and ignored him, instead she watched her daughter feel her stomach with fascination. Squealing and jumping back every time she felt the baby kick or squirm. For now, she could be at peace knowing her daughter was excited for the new addition. As to if this would continue after she realized what she was really in for, she had a good four months to go before having to truly worry about that.
