Mount Olympus [4]

Jackie

I nod and stand, going to find Ella. I take her from Rayah and walk back ito Nic's room, smiling as Ella tries to fit her hand in her mouth.

Nic

I smile at the two and imagine our baby girl in her arms, fascinated with the idea.

Jackie

I smile and sit next to his bed, Ella glancing around as she frowns, "Mama..."

I bounce her and sigh, "She'll be right back."

Ella yanks on my hair, "Mama!"

I swear and look at Nic, "She doesn't trust anyone but Ray."

Nic

I flash a smile and set a hand over Ella's, relaxing her grip and taking it off of Jackie's hair, "Hey, sweetheart. You're okay. S'just Auntie Jackie and Uncle Nic."

Jackie

I smile at Nic and Ella studies him before flashing a small smile, "Daddy?"

Nic

I shake my head, smiling, "No, honey. I'm your uncle. Your daddy is sleeping, but he's very excited to see you."

Jackie

She frowns again and I sigh, bouncing her again before looking at this, "Watch."

"What's your sisters name?" I smile.

"Wiwie," She tries to pronounce it.

Smiling, I chuckle, "And your brother's?"

"Lowen," She looks up at me.

Nic

I smile and wish Jace had just dealt with things so he could see this for himself.

Jackie

Rayah walks in and smiles at us, Ella reaching out for her. She takes her from me and sits at my side.

Nic

I sigh and sit back, my stomach hurting slightly beneath the bandages, "H-have you seen Jace? How is he?"

Jackie

Rayah shrugs, playing with her child's hair, "He's better then I thought he'd be."

Nic

...I'll take that as a good thing then. "Has he seen Ella yet or no? Or the twins? He was worried about all of you..."

Jackie

She shakes her head, "No. He hasn't moved yet. But he's in good mental condition. He'll probrably be good by tomorrow morning."

Nic

I nod and sigh, "That's good. Ella better see him as soon as he wakes. She...called me Daddy. I don't want to take that from him."

Jackie

"Well, you kind of do resemble her in a way. And you look like Jace..."

I shudder, thoughts coming to mind, "Please stop talking about how Nic looks a little like Ella... That kind of gives me images and I do not want that. Expecially because I am about to throw up just from the thought..."

Rayah looks at me, "EW! No! EW, no! That...EW..."

I nod and glance at her, "Exactly my point."
