Ravenclaw Tavern [2]

Jackie

I chuckle at Nic's reaction and Rayah grabs her clothes from the floor, diving under the covers and changing. Once covered, she gets out of bed and looks at me, shaking her head before walking into the bathroom and fixing her hair.

Nic

I bury my face in my arms as Jace gets dressed under the covers and sits awkwardly in bed. Ugh. No flipping fair. He got.... ugh. Everything before me. And he's supposed to be no more than eight. So wrong.

Jackie

I watch Rayah come back out, sitting on my lap, "Call daddy."

I raise an eyebrow, "This is awkward, Ray."

"CALL DADDY," She demands. I sigh and take out my phone, she's four...and ugh.

Nic

I watch, shaking my head, before burying my head again.

Jackie

He doesn't answer and I look at Rayah, "He's unavailable."

She pouts and I move her off my lap, yawning. She sighs, glancing around, "I feel so weird..."

I nod, "You should. Your four and you--"

"OH! Chocolate!" she goes through my bag and finds them, sitting underneath the table and eating all of it.

That...that was mine...

Nic

I shake my head and sigh, glad I had a brother and not a sister.

Jackie

I pout and shake my head at her, and...she's gonna have kids when she has the mind of a child. Wow. That...is not gonna end well...

Nic

Jace comes and sits at my side, sighing.

Jackie

Rayah sits at my feet and looks up at me with those huge green eyes. I swallow and have to look away, "What?"

She flashes an innocent smile, "Hey."

I look back at her, "You want something."

She nods, "Yep."

I sigh, "What?"

"I want...my teddy bear," She smiles. I swear. F*ck. I forgot her teddy bear...

Nic

"Jace can be your teddy bear," I mumble, then look up and realize I said that out loud. D*mmit.

Jackie

Rayah looks up at Nic burning red before looking at me, "Please."

D*mmit. She used the magic word...and that innocent face...

"I forgot it, Ray," I say quietly.

She frowns, "What?"

"I..." I can't say it, "Just forget it."

"you....forgot him?" she asks, eyes wide.

I nod and she just stares at me before nodding slowly and looking down without another word.

Nic

I shake my head at myself and sigh.

Jackie

"I'm depressed now," She mumbles.

I stare at her, "You seriously just," I look at the bed, "How the hell are you..." I shake my head, "Nevermind."

She keeps looking down and I sigh, running a hand through my hair.

Nic

I glance at Jackie, "If it helps... I don't understand a d*mn thing going on here either."

Jackie


I nod and sigh, "Good news is, the pregnancy will go by fast. Since she's a full goddess now...she should be feeling the effects any second if she is..."

I glance at her and she's still looking down, not showing any signs, "Atleast in the next three hours or so."
