The parting

"I couldn't let you go without a proper goodbye." Effie said as she hugged Katniss. "It's your job to take care of yourself now, Katniss. Promise me you'll find it."
"Find what?"
"The life of a Victor."
"Goodbye Effie."
As they hug Effie whispers back "Goodbye my girl."
Katniss starts walking away. It was now time for Haymitch to say goodbye. Emotions were rushing through him. "Effie, don't be a stranger." He kisses her cheek, then again on her lips. "Take care of her."
"I will."
He turns to walk with Katniss before she can she the tears running down his face. Effie watches her true love and almost daughter walk away. Crying she walks back to the mansion.

Three months later...

The train is running full throttle. Effie was in her own little thoughts as she gets closer to her new home and new life. She thinks about Haymitch and how he had kissed her just months before. She of course would have went with him to District twelve then, but someone had to stay with Peeta. Now that he is well the only thing they can both think about is getting to the people they love. Soon she will have the family she's always imagined having. Peeta sitting on the edge of his seat asks Effie question upon question for hours about Katniss, and as much as she loves answering him she's starting to get a bit of a headache. She attempts to answer every question but she hasn't had much contact with Katniss since she left with Haymitch. In what seems like an eternity they finally pull into the station. "Home" she breathed. Peeta and several of the workers grab they're luggage. "Ooph!" Peeta grunted "What did you do bring all of Panem with you, Eff?" He said jokingly. "Oh don't be silly Peeta. I only brought HALF of Panem!" She joked back in her capitol accent. "Ya know you could've bought clothes here in D12 right?" "Of course I do darling.. but I didn't know how much would have been available."
As they started towards Victor's village struggling with they're luggage, Effie stops to point out a small patch of primroses. "Maybe you and Katniss could plant some closer to the village.. In memory of Prim of course!" "I think that would be a good idea as long as Katniss doesn't mind." As soon as they enter Victor's village Effie gasps. Peeta turns to look at whatever she's running towards. She's wrapped up in Haymitch's arms. In between kisses she whispers "I brought our boy home."

Haymitch's POV

Haymitch had been home for three months now. He regrets not trying to talk Effie into moving in with him. Of course she probably would have said no "Who would want to stay in this dump with an old drunk?" He thought to himself. He's tried almost everything to forget about her. "But how can you forget someone you've spent most of your adult life with?" He thought.
As he sat there on his couch he thought he heard voices outside. "That's impossible! No one in their right mind would come back to District twelve!" He got up and walked to the door. Deciding to see who was out there talking, he grabbed his coat and stepped outside. "Effie?" He whispered. "No it can't be.. why would she be here?" He thought. "It is Effie! She's running towards me."
They embraced and started kissing. In between kisses she pulls back long enough to whisper "I brought our boy home."
