Effie's Diary

Welcome to District 12

Chapter 2

---
Katniss POV

I arrive at the train station, and shortly after the train pulls into the station. I take a seat on the bench, searching for Effie in the crowd of passengers coming off. And then, I see her. It's not very hard to miss her in her shimmering heels, shiny black dress, and golden wig. She soon spots me, and somehow in those death heels, runs over to me, and exclaims, "Katniss!"
"Welcome to District 12, how've you been?" I say, hugging her half-heartedly.
"Spectacular! I've missed all of you SO much!" she squeals, pulling along her 5 suitcases.
"We've missed you, too." I reply, half-lying. I lead her to Victor's Village, and into Peeta and me's humble home.
"You two have such a lovely house!" she says, in her loathed Capitol accent.
"Thanks." I mumble under my breath.
I walk her into the kitchen, where Peeta is preparing the room for the evening. "Welcome Effie! How are you?" he says enthusiastically, hugging her. "Marvelous." she replies. She scopes the room, and realizes that Haymitch isn't here. "I'll go fetch Haymitch, I am SO excited!" she squeals, running out the door and over to Haymitch's home.
"Probably passed out drunk. Doesn't want to hear her voice." Peeta mumbles. I'm glad we're finally alone, I have to break the news to him someday. "Peeta..."
"Yes?"
"There is something I need to tell you."
"What is it, Katniss?" he says with a tone of worry.
"I.. I'm uh.. Pregnant." Just then we hear the front door swing open and in comes Effie with Haymitch stumbling behind her.
