Mount Olympus [4]

Nic

I turn the sink off and nod, sighing, "I'll go put the twins down for a nap. Why don't you go sit down."

Jackie

I nod and take a deep breath, plopping on the couch.

Nic

I scoop the twins up and bring them into Jace's room, lying them on his bed and setting soft music on until they drift to sleep.

Jackie

I fix the gauze on my wrist before sighing.

Nic

I keep the music on and sigh, walking out to Jackie and sitting at her side.

Jackie

I snuggle into Nic and sigh again.

Nic

I flash a smile and hold her close, kissing the top of her head.

Jackie

Already feel my burns healing fast, I glance up at him, "I love you."

Nic

I smile and glance down at her, "Love you too, Jacks."

Jackie

It fully heals and I take the wrap off, smiling as I look at him, "I'm heading home. See...see you tonight

Nic

"Oh," I lose my smile, sitting up, "Okay. Bye."

Jackie

I bite my lip and kiss him quickly before standing and heading out.

Nic

I sigh and watch her leave before setting things up for later. The twins start to cry and I curse myself, walking into the room to cradle them.

Jackie

I sigh and get into a nice short dress when I get home, keeping my hair the way it is.

Nic

I set the kids down and look at them, bored, "You two... You two better either be silent tonight, or with your mother and father. I don't want another interruption. There always is one. Not that anything would happen more than already has... unfortunately... but I still would like to be able to relax without being as paranoid as Jace is. So, in conclusion, behave and shut up, or tag along with your parents."

I sigh, watching them, before groaning and giving them each a finger to hold in their tiny hands.

"Damn you two... making me act like an uncle," I mutter, "I'm still a kid, you know."
