Mount Olympus [2]

Jace

I smile at her and take a deep breath, keeping my eyes closed.

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

I flash a smile back and look away, "I was just waiting for a reaction."

Rayah

I look back down at my stomach, smiling.

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

I frown, "What kind of reaction?"

Jace

I doze off, standing there with her.

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

I shrug, looking back at her, "Any kind. I just wanted to see what you'd do."

Rayah

He becomes still and I glance at him, finding him asleep. Not knowing what to do, I flash a smile and close my eyes again.

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

I smile, "C'mere," I motion him towards me.

Jace

I wake suddenly and fall back, confused as to where I am.

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

I study her, smiling back, before moving closer to her.

Rayah

He falls back and I open my eyes, turning around and grabbing his hands, pulling him back up.

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

Him making me nervous, I smile and wrap my arms around his neck again, burying my face in it and kissing the skin, "Close you're eyes and relax."

Jace

Rayah pulls me back up and I blush a little, looking around. I fell asleep in the middle of water...Wow.

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

I hesitate before closing my eyes, wondering what she's up to.

Rayah

I don't let go of him just in case he falls aain, and smile, "You alright?"
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

I flash a smile at him and move my lips upwards, kissing his ear, "Tell me what you want as a future," I try to start a conversation.

Jace

I look at her and nod, still a little dazed, "Maybe I should go lie down..."

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

I close my eyes and think, "I want a son. I want to be a better father than my own. I want to make the one I love happy every second of every day and I don't want to screw anything else up."

Rayah

I nod and lead him to shore, the babies kicking again, and sit on the sad, glancing down at my stomach as I do.

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

I nod, kissing his jawline, "Same," I reply, closing my eyes, "Same here."

Jace

I lay out the towel on the sand and lie back on it, setting my shirt over my eyes after I close them.

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

I flash a smile, "You're no dude; you can't want to be a better father."

Rayah

I watch him before looking back onto the lake, dipping my toes in the water.

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

Jackie

I glance up at him, "You know what I mean."

Suddenly, the door opens and someone yanks me from Nic, holding a bottle of hair dye.

What the hell...

I glance behind me to see my sister, "What are you doing home?"

She let's me go and I shake out my wrist where she grabbed me, "I need to try this hair dye on you," She holds it up.

I look at my own hair. It's practically black. Why would I bleach it?

I glance up at her, "Why?"

Jace

"I'm sorry, Ray," I lift the shirt from my face and look at her, "Today was about you and my headache messed it up."

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

Someone yanks her from me before I can respond and I open my eyes, ready to yank her back. I find it's her sister and relax, watching her.

I like her hair though...

Rayah

I flash a smile, glancing at him, "Nah. It didn't," I shrug, "And it wasn't 'bout me."

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

She looks at me, "Pllleasssee? You'll be blonde! I need to see if it's the right color!"

I roll my eyes, "Whats wrong with you're hair? It's almost blonde. I've dyed mine a million times, Vanessa. I'm not dying it again," I touch her hair.

She pouts and steps on my foot, storming upstairs. I swear and resist the erge to strangle her, taking a deep breath. "Fine! I'll do it!" I yell, running after her. I stop in the middle of the stairs and look down at Nic, "Be right back."

Jace

"Every day needs to be about you," I mutter to myself, looking up at the sky.

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

I just sit there, awkward and slightly confused.

She's going to be blonde?
