Mount Olympus [4]

Jackie

He leaves and I frown, plopping down.

Jackie

Him not back, I start to get worried. He didn't even call me...

Swallowing, I glance down at my stomach, the bump bigger. You could totally tell I'm pregnant. I sit on the couch and bring my hand over it, drinking a milkshake.

Nic

I flash into the middle of the hospital and trudge my way to the E.R. section, my brother's near-lifeless body in my arms. Something warm and sticky trickles down the side of my face and distorts my thoughts. Setting Jace down on a cot, I wait until they wheel him away to collapse on the floor. My eyes droop tiredly but I don't allow them to close until I have Jackie's picture in my hand again, clutching it.

Jacks, come.

A team of nurses reaches me just as the thought ends, my eyes closing to give me rest.

Jackie

A thought enters my mind and I blink a few time before glancing around. Having a bad feeling about something, my thoughts tell me to go to the hospital. Flashing there, I go to the check in and ask if Nic's name is here. The nurse nodding, she tells me It's room 204. Sighing of relief, I make my way there only to be stopped by a man, "I'm sorry ma'am but you can not go in there."

"What?" I try to step around him but he tells me I have to wait by the door. Frustrated, I sit beside the room in a chair, stupid hospital people...

Nic

I wake up, my head and wrist wrapped in white, and find that Jackie isn't there. Tiredly, I sit up and find another bandage around the bottom of my torso. I press the call button and wait for someone to come in, wanting Jackie with me.

Jackie

I take a deep breath and wait, the doctor walking in to assist him.

Nic

The doctor comes in and tells me to lie back down. I shake my head and swallow, "I want my fiance in here. She should have come. I don't care about my freaking condition. Get me my Jacks."

Jackie

I sigh and keep waiting, the doctor coming out, "Your Jackie?"

I nod, "Yes."

"You can come in..."

I smile and stand, walking in and smiling wider at Nic as I sit next to him, "Hey."

Nic

I smile when I see Jackie and rest back a bit, still sitting up. I take her hand when she sits at my side.

"I'm fine," I tell her before she can say anything, "Jace is the only one to worry about right now. I'm just roughed up."

"Well, you technically broke--"

"Shut up," I tell the doctor, looking back at Jackie, "Don't listen to him. How you doing? How's the baby?"

Jackie

I chuckle at him, classic Nic...

"Well, she's being a b*tch right now and doesn't agree with any food...so...she's a pain in the a*s right now. But...s'all good," I smile.

Nic

I smile back and see the doctor leave. Setting my good hand on Jackie's stomach, I sigh, "So... morning sickness is bad now? I was hoping you'd have an easier time with that..."

Jackie

I sigh, "It's not bad...I just don't like it."

Nic

I shrug, flashing a smile, "Well... it's not supposed to be pleasant, Jacks. I don't think you would like it anyways. A-anything else? You're okay? She's healthy?"

Jackie

I nod and look at my stomach, "Yes."
