Mount Olympus

Rayah

I flash a smile and lean against the frame of the bed, taking a bite while sighing.

Jace

I sit next to her and take a bite of my food, glancing up at her when she sighs, "You alright?"

Rayah

I nod but don't say anything, taking another deep breath.

Jace

I study her before moving behind her and leaning her against me instead of the bedframe. I wrap one arm around her stomach and kiss her neck.

Rayah

I study him before taking another bite of my food, trying to even my breathing.

Jace

"Just relax," I tell her, "Nothing else matters but this moment."

Rayah

I nod and finish my food, moving the plate beside me while closing my eyes, "So stressed."

Jace

I forget about my food and wrap my other arm around her as well, kissing the side of her face, "Let's talk about something then, get your mind off of everything else. Where do you want to live when we can leave Olympus?"

Rayah

I shrug, "Anywhere, really. I kind of want to spend some of my life here. I don't think I'm ready to leave my hometown just yet," I tell him, "When the twins are around five, I'll think about it. I just don't think I'm ready to move out," I sigh.

Jace

I nod, taking a deep breath, "What's your dream, Ray? Who do you want to be? Where do you want to be? What's your aspiration in life?"

Rayah

I think, "I want to just have a family," I glance down at my stomach and then back at him, "And I want to be happy. What about you?"

Jace

I flash a smile and kiss the side of her face, "I want to have the family I never had and make a name out of myself. I want to be happy and to make the ones I love happy. I don't want to let anyone down."

Rayah

I smile at him and kiss his cheek, nuzzling my face with his, "Same."

Jace

I smile back and close my eyes, my face against hers, "What about your dream job? What do you want to be?"

Rayah

I shrug, "Artist, maybe a swimmer," I tell him, "What about you?"
