"Oh this is all so exciting!" Effie shouts in glee, smiling widely at Katniss who is lying on her bed with a large belly.

Katniss scoffs and runs a hand through her belly, "Easy for you to say, you're not the one who's going to be giving birth." Katniss is beyond excited for this last child to be born, her first born was hard but when she had it, she felt as if everything was right again.

Haymitch enters the room, a bottle of rum in his hands. "When is the kid due to pop out?" Effie smacks Haymitch on the arm for his way of speaking.

Katniss sighs, "Someday this week." Katniss highly hoped it would be sometime soon, she couldn't bare walk around with her heavy stomach anymore.

As if someone had heard her prayers, she felt something wet at her legs. "Oh no" Katniss whispered.

Effie, having been close enough to hear Katniss gasp, stood up to her aid. "Is everything alright? What's wrong?"

Katniss took a deep breath as the first contraction hit. "The baby's coming"

The room fell silent for a second before Effie erupted in squeals. "Don't worry dear, Auntie Effie is here to help!" Katniss groaned, both for the contraption and the idea of Effie helping her give birth.

Peeta wasn't home, he was helping his father at work and wouldn't be home till later. Sadly, her mother wasn't home either, she was visiting Gale's mother and took her first grandchild with her. So it was just Haymitch and Effie home with her, this wouldn't turn out so great.

Haymitch snorted, "You can't help deliver a baby, you faint when you see dogs give birth!" Haymitch puts down his half empty bottle and stands beside Kaniss who is breathing deeply.

"Oh and I suppose you know what to do?" Effie snaps at him. Katniss holds back a scream as another contraction hits.

"Of course I don't," Haymitch rolls his eyes. "But I'm sure I can be more help than you can" Katniss can feel the baby coming, another strong contraction hits.

"Says the drunk! You can hardly stand half the time!" Effie roars. Neither of them seems to see nor hear Katniss breathing heavily.

Haymitch rolls his eyes again, "I suggest you leave the room, doll, your face might scare the baby."

Effie gasps, "At least I do-" The two begin to bicker louder.

Katniss can't hold it in anymore and yells out, "Will you two shut up! I'm trying to have a baby here!" The two stop their arguing and look at her with wide eyes as they understand what is about to happen.

"Hurry! Get some blankets" Effie orders Haymitch, the latter leaves the room in a hurry with wide eyes.

Effie scrambles to Katniss' side, "Its okay dear, just breathe out evenly." Kaniss does as she's told, surprised at the soft gentleness in Effie's voice. Haymitch comes back with blankets.

A few minutes later, Katniss is holding Haymitch's hand tightly while Effie urges her to push. "You're so close Katniss!"

Haymitch has wide eyes and seems to be trying not to faint.

Katniss sighs and lays back down on the bed, Effie takes the baby gently in a blanket.

"We did it!" Effie shouts with glee. Katniss smiles tiredly as she watches Haymitch and Effie swoon over her newborn child. They had done it, still bickering as always but they had done it.
