Mount Olympus [5]

Jace

I look back at my computer and attempt to concentrate, shrugging the bothersome feeling off.

Rayah

I I watch him before resting my chin on the top of Ella's head.

Jace

I sigh and rest my head on one hand, realizing how much I hate numbers.

Rayah

I go on my phone and yawn, Ella saying something that she doesn't even understand.

Jace

I glance at Ella and raise an eyebrow before shaking my head and looking back at my work.

Rayah

"Mommy," She yanks on my hair, "You go in pictures?"

I flash a slight smile, "Kind of."

"What you do?" She studies me.

"I pose for them," I simply say, "In different scenerys."

She smiles, "Me wanna do that."

I chuckle and shake my head, "Nah..."

Jace

I glance at them before focusing on work again. Yeah.. my daughter is not doing anything like that....

Rayah

She snuggles into me and I wrap my arms around her, "Love you, Els."

She smiles and I take a deep breath, glancing around.

Jace

Nic walks in, despite the fact I'd locked the door, and sits on my desk with his legs crossed. I just stare at him for a few moments, waiting for him to move. He initiates the staring contest and rests his head on his hand.

"What are you doing here?" I ask, "No, wait, better question: how did you get in here?"

He shrugs, glancing at Rayah and Ella.

Rayah

I nod at Nic, "...And where's Jacks?"

Jace

Nic shrugs again, "I don't know. I just know I work here, thanks to your husband. I could have gone another month or so doing nothing but making--"

I cover his mouth with a stream of light and shake my head.

"Keep things rated G, Nic," I sigh, "I don't want my youngest daughter exposed to your perverseness just yet."

Rayah

I raise an eyebrow, "I'm curious now," I chuckle, "Tell us by mind message."

Jace

I look at Rayah, Nic managing to slip his way out of the light-gag.

"Well, I ended with 'making,' I would have been home alone with Jackie for most of the days..." he trails off, smirking, "And I'm a guy. Fill in the blanks."

Rayah

I look at him with a shocked expression, "Wow....she just had a baby, and your doing that. Isn't she...tired or something?"

Jace

Nic looks at her with a straight, unamused expression, "I would have waited until she was okay. I'm not that much of an a**h*le. Like she'd care anyway though..."
