Mount Olympus [4]

Nic

I chuckle and shake my head, "Jackie, why don't you think you're beautiful?"

Jackie

I sigh, "We already went over this. I have plain black hair, brown eyes, and am just boring looking."

Nic

I groan and bury my face in her neck, "Baby, I thought we went through this already too. I thought I proved to you that you were beautiful."

Jackie

I raise and eyebrow, "You did not..."

Nic

"Ugh," I groan, looking up at her, "You're perfect to me, Jackie. What more can I ask for?"

Jackie

I sigh and shrug, looking down again.

Nic

I flash a smile and shake my head again, "You're... ugh, Jackie. Why can't you just accept the compliment?"

Jackie

I shrug again and stand, walking upstairs.

Nic

I frown when she leaves and hesitate before following her.

Jackie

I lock myself in the guest bedroom and lay down on the bed, a hand tracing the bump on the stomach, the lights on.

Nic

W-what did I say? I hesitate before knocking on the door, "Jacks... what's wrong? What'd I do?"

Jackie

"I just need some time to myself," I answer, not opening the door as I keep looking at my stomach.

Nic

You had a whole month... I don't say anything back, returning to the couch and plopping down.

Jackie

I fall asleep, but wake a few minutes later to someone's footsteps, "Nic?" I sit up, looking around the room. He doesn't answer and I swallow, shaking my head and laying back down. Wind goes right through me and I fly against the wall, a boy with a ski mask on standing infront of me, "Dont. Scream."

My eyes widen and I nod quickly, seeing the gun in his hand, Just keep the baby safe.

Nic

I stare at the t.v. screen, not quite sure how I'm still awake, and sip the soda. A strange cramp knots in my stomach but I dismiss it, eyes drifting towards the guest bedroom before fully shaking the feeling off.
