Mount Olympus

Jace

I swallow, "I'm seventeen."

Rayah

He nods and scribbles it down again. "You're next appointment to make sure everythings going alright is in two months, we should be able to tell the gender by then," He says, turning off the x-ray and removing the thingy from my stomach. He walks out with the papers and I sit up, glancing at Jace.

"Twins." I whisper, sighing.

Jace

I flash a smile and nod, "Yeah, twins."

Rayah

I nod and stand, "We should head home. To tell yu're brothers? The game should be over," I say, walking out of the room.

Jace

She walks out without me and I wonder if this is how things will be for now on. Me...left behind. That's always how it's been though. Not much of a change... I stand and catch up with her, holding doors as she walks through them like the gentleman I should have always been.

"If you want them to know, sure," I answer her question.

Rayah

I nod and wait for him once we get outside. When we do, I grab his hand and let him lead the way back to his house.

Jace

Once we get outside, she takes my hand and leads me back to my own home.

"You okay?" I ask on the way.

Rayah

I nod as we get to his house. "I'm fine."

Jace

I nod, studying her, and open the door for her. Nic and Alyx are sprawled out all over the living room, all twelve cans of coke I bought the day before scattered around. Alyx hiccups and chuckles to himself.

"I like this," he says, "It's like...a mind high. What's this called?"

"Caffeine high," Nic chuckles, "'Cept...we aren't so hyper. It works weirdly on us."

"You drank all my soda?" I ask.

They sit up and look at me, Alyx hiccuping again.

"Sorry," he says mid hiccup.

Rayah

I chuckle at them and sit on the couch. "I want to get drunk right now," I mutter to myself, shaking my head.

Jace

I sit next to Rayah and shake my head at all the coke cans. Alyx moves to my couch and sprawls out, his feet in my lap.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"I want to sleep," he mumbles, moving and pulling me down with him.

"Not with me," I shake my head, "Let me go."

"Shut up. I'm hugging you," he slurs.

I look at Nic, who's just laughing.

Rayah

I look at them weirdly before crossing my arms over my stomach. Alyx pulls Jace down and the wrong picture goes through my head, I look away quickly.

Jace

"Let me go, Alyx," I sigh, "This is incredibly awkward."

"Yeah it is," Nic chuckles.

"Too bad," Alyx mumbles, "Let me go to sleep."

I elbow him and sit up, prying myself from his grip. I climb on the other side of Rayah and take her in my arms so he couldn't come after me.

Rayah

I flash a smile at Jace as he takes me in his arms and I lean against him, pressing the side of my face to his chest while closing my eyes.

Jace

Alyx flicks me off and buries his face in the couch, falling asleep moments later. I flash a smile at Rayah and hold her, kissing the top of her head.
