Mount Olympus [3]

Rayah

I shrug, "Start at whatever you want."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

I glance back at him and my sister answers the door, taking Halee from me and walking in. I turn to him and take a step inside, "You should've," I tell him before looking away and closing the door.

Jace

I think, "Well... ugh, just give me a starting point, babe. I don't know."

`````````
Nic

I fist at my hair and turn around, walking wherever. I'm not f*cking perfect, Jacks. Especially back then...

Rayah

I sigh, "Umm..." I think, "Anything bad that you haven't told me?"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

I plop down on the couch, setting my hands on my stomach. Renn kicks again, and then... Oh my god, no. This wasn't suppost to happen yet. No. We
Had another week!

Jace

I think, "Bad how?"

````````````
Nic

I freeze, something tugging at my gut, and look back. Something...something's wrong. I stay where I am, watching for any sign of it being with Jackie.

Rayah

I an just about to answer when I get a text. I check it and swear, Grabbing Jace's hand. I pull him to where she says she it, her sister practically screaming and hesitating on what to do. We get there and I kick the door down, rushing in. I look at Jackie, "You alright?" I crouch infront of her.

"H...Hospital, Rayah," she breaths, "He wants out."

I hesitate and scoop her up, running to the car with Jace following, setting her in the back seat, "You driving?" I ask, looking at Jace, "I...I need to breath with her. Calm her."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

Oh my god this hurts so bad...

I wrap both mt arms around my stomach and scream, "RAYAH!"

Jace

I follow Rayah and swear when we get there, nodding when Rayah asks me to drive. I get behind the wheel and wonder where Nic is, speeding off to the hospital. She didn't... She didn't even call him, did she?

```````
Nic

I watch it all, my heart sinking when I realize that she had no intention of letting me know something was happening with the baby. Instead of running to the car holding her, I drop where I stand and bury my face in my arms.

Rayah

I watch, wondering where Nic is, and look at Jackie, "I'll breathe with you, ready?"

She nods and I help her, "Good. It's gonna hurt."

She screams again and moans, "He wants out..."

I nod, "I know he does. Just...deep breaths."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

Its all hurting. He's half vampire, and is practically eating me from the inside, making me cry even more. D*mn you, Renn.

I take deep breaths and close my eyes, feeling somewhat guilty for not calling Nic.

Jace

I pull up to the hospital and jump out of the car, opening the door for the girls and making a path for them to get in easy. It's only then that I remember we left Logan and Riley behind.

F*ck...

``````````
Nic

I wait, looking at my phone, and give her the benefit of the doubt. A few minutes pass before I stand, leaving it on the pavement, and teleport elsewhere.

Spoiler

Sticking with one person for now.

Rayah

I know what Jace is thinking and swear, "Go back," I tell him, "Find Nic. I'll...I'll stay with Jacks."

She screams again and I swallow, scooping her up and running inside, doctors taking her from me.

Jace

I jump back in the car and speed back to Alyx's, scooping the kids up and calling for Nic. He doesn't answer and Alyx says he doesn't know where he is, so I head back to the hospital and shake my head at my wonderful excuse for a brother.

```````````
Nic

I appear in the shadows of the hallway at the hospital, watching Rayah carry Jackie in. I stay where I am, not ready to face her yet after... after an insult like that.

Rayah

I wait around thirty minutes before they call me in. I take a deep breath and walk In, closing the door behind me. I smile at Jackie. She's holding the cutesy little boy I've ever seen. Literally. I sit in the chair next to her and she flashes a smile.

"Why...Why isn't Nic here?" I ask in a whisper.

She swallows, looking back down at her baby, "We're kind of pissed off at eachother. Don't know when we'll make up."

I take a deep breath and nod, "You gonna...let him hold him?"

She shrugs, "Depends if I'm in a good mood. I'm a little less mad at him...but I don't think it's a good idea right now."

I nod again and look at the little boy again, letting him hold my pinky as I smile.

Nic

I listen to their conversation, standing outside the door, and wish I couldn't break any more than before. Turning away, I make to leave when Jace comes down the hall with the twins. He swallows and shakes his head at me, setting Logan and Riley down and telling them to run to their mother. He glances inside before pulling me aside and into a different room.

"Did you even go in?" he asks.

"Let me go, Jace," I reply, "She doesn't want me in there."

I push past him and out of the building, wandering back home.

Rayah

Jackie keeps looking at Renn, smiling when he opens his eyes for the first time, "Hey, you," She whispers, looking into his huge eyes, "You...You have you're father's eyes..."

I look at her, "What- What's that?!" I smile.

She smiles, "Shut up. I'm trying to have a moment, here."

I shake my head at that, and pull my kids on my lap, really wishing Nic was here to hold his kid.

Jace

I walk into the room and sit next to Rayah, not comfortable with how fragile Nic looked. Ray... this isn't good. My brother is f*cking stubborn and he wouldn't come in here to see Renn or Jackie. He thinks she doesn't want him anywhere near her.

Rayah

I glance at Jace, I know. Just...ugh. This is horrible. She just wanted space. I mean, they're married. They...they have to be near eachother. Jackie can't raise both kids on her own, and she knows that.
