Mount Olympus [3]

Jackie

I sigh and let him, closing my eyes and burying my face in his neck.

Nic

I close my eyes and swallow, hoping to God this isn't a dream. Someone tugs at the back of my shirt and I pull away to find Halee reaching to get into the hug too. I scoop her up and bring my other hand to set against the side of Jackie's face.

I got my family back... My baby's back.

Jackie

I see Halee and I take her from Nic, squeezing her, "I missed you sweetheart!"

She giggles, playing with my hair and I kiss her all over her face, "So much," I smile, shifting her in my left arm.

Nic

I smile at them and rest my forehead against Jackie's once she's done with her love fest, "Don't scare me like that again, Jacks. Please."

Jackie

I smile at him and nod, kissing him quickly, "Promise."

Nic

I flash a smile and take a deep breath, not wanting to move just yet.

Jackie

Someone grabs me by the wrist and I set Halee down, finding Rayah pulling me away and looking at me, pissed, "You scared. The living sh*t outta me," She mutters, crossing her arms.

I shrug, "Please don't kill me," I take a step back, "I kinda just woke up."

She pulls me into a hug instead and I don't know what to do, hugging her back.

Nic

Rayah pulls Jackie away from me and I scoop Halee from her before they hug. Jace smiles at me, suppressing his confusion, and comes to my side.

Jackie

Pulling back, Rayah pulls my phone out of my pocket, "I kinda was playing Angry Birds on you're phone..."

I check my messages.

"And texted Jack you love him. Whoever Jack is," She chuckles. I run after her and she starts screaming, running away.

"I'm an innocent nineteen year old!" She screams.

Nic

"Who's Jack?" I ask, shifting Halee in my arms.

Jackie

I catch Rayah and pull her in an arm lock, looking at Nic.

"Some desperate teenager that is a player and goes out with every girl he gets a chance to," I mutter.

"Oops," Rayah chuckles, "I didn't know that."

I stare at her, "You dated him in eighth grade. How could you not remember him?"

"I dated a lot of guys in my lifetime..." She says, wincing at the advantage I have on her arm. I let go and she glares at me, shaking her arm out.

Nic

Jace shifts uneasily at Rayah's last words. I flash a smile before looking back at Jackie, "How do you know him then?"

Jackie

"Again. Rayah went out with him. Me and Rayah are like this," I squeeze her playfully.

She coughs and I let go, chuckling.

"Was Jack the guy that had the black hair and blue eyes?" She asks, thinking about it.

"I shake my head. That was Ben. Jack has blonde hair and blue eyes," I correct her.

She bites her lip before nodding, "Ooohhhh, yeah," She smiles.

I nod, "Yep."

Nic

Jace narrows his eyes at his wife and crosses his arms, sighing. I take a deep breath and sit in the grass, watching the two of them.

Jackie

Jace gives Rayah the death stare and I look at her, "I'm tired."

She looks at me, "How?"

I shrug, "I'm just tired."

"You slept...for a whole month," She replies.

I shrug again, plopping down in the grass and closing my eyes, "Still."

She kicks my a*s again and I open my eyes, "I dare you to do that again."
