Mount Olympus [4]

Rayah

I sigh and roll my eyes, the babysitter running out.

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

I flash a smile and him along to his whistling.

Jace

I slip my sunglasses off and shut the door behind the babysitter, shaking my head.

````
Nic

I flash a smile back and twirl her closer.

Rayah

The kids come running down the stairs, Ella crawling out of the kitchen.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jackie

I laugh at him and sigh, shaking my head

Jace

I smile and scoop Ella up, leaning against the wall and looking at the kids.

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

I chuckle back and shrug, continuing to whistle.

Rayah

I smile at Jace and scoop Riley up, Logan looking at Jace like he's never seen him before.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jackie

I smile and yawn again, storm clouds starting to form overhead.

Jace

I look at Logan and flash a smile, "Hey, buddy."

````````
Nic

I smile back and glance up, wondering how long we have until it starts to pour.

Rayah

I sigh and Logan hides behind my legs,"Mommy."

I look at Jace, "How long have you been gone?"

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

I smile at him, "Just let it pour. Doesn't matter."

Jace

"Just a month," I reply, confused, watching Logan.

``````
Nic

I smile and sigh, looking at her, "I know. But it'll matter when we have your dress."

Rayah

I swallow and look down at Logan, Ella playing with her father's jacket, "It's just daddy."

Lo looks up again and squints, "Daddy?"

Jace

I flash a smile and nod, wondering why he wouldn't recognize me. Crouching, I motion him over.

Rayah

I sigh, watching as Logan wobbles to him.

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

I smile, "Yeah."

Jace

I smile and sit on my heels, watching him.

`````
Nic

I smile back and sigh.

Rayah

Logan catches sight of Ella hiding in his jacket again and hesitates before looking at Jace with a questioning look.

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

I take a deep breath and get to the plaza.

Jace

I flash a smile and sigh, "You're okay, Lo. It's alright. Come to daddy."

``````
Nic

I start whistling again and look around.

Rayah

Ella hides even deeper and Logan looks at Ella again, not moving.

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

I kept on looking around and squeeze his hand again.
