Mount Olympus [9]

Jace

I swear and drop behind her, wrapping an arm around her stomach, "What is it? What's wrong?"

Rayah

Another thing forms in my stomach and I shake my head, it growing slight bigger as bones inside me crack to try to make room, "Just transition to Pregnancy," I whisper, wincing, "It's perfectly normal."

Jace

I lean her against me and watch worriedly, shivering at the sound of her bones cracking.

Rayah

It stops after around two more cracks and I breath heavily, looking up at him, "Four. We're having four."

Jace

I flash a smile and kiss her temple, looking down at her stomach and setting a hand over it, "That's amazing. Just relax. We'll wait here until you're good."

Rayah

I smile back and close my eyes for a second, sweating.

Jace

I smile with her and rest my temple against hers, stroking her stomach with my thumb.

Spoiler

Do you wanna skip forward to around four weeks, they can have the house and Stuff?

Rayah

Around five minutes later, I stand and hesitate, "Lets go."

Spoiler

Sure.

Jace

I stand and take her hand again, studying her, "You sure?"

Rayah

I nod and lead him to the dorm.

***Time lapse: 4 weeks***

Jace

I sit on the wooden armchair on the back porch with my laptop in front of me. Looking over everything, I try to think of how to piece together the beginning of my term paper. Early, I realize, but procrastinating is Nic's trait and my pups are due any moment and will not leave me with much time to work when they arrive. Sighing, I close my laptop and walk inside to look for Rayah, hoping she's resting like she's supposed to instead of out and running around again.

Rayah

In the house, I sit in the corner of the kitchen, five bloodbags at my side, three already drained. I start another, my stomach asking for more, and my mouth covered in it.

Jace

I set my laptop on the dining room table and find Rayah in the kitchen. Flashing a smile, I get a damp cloth and walk over to her, "You're a messy eater, you know. You've got it dripping down your chin."

Rayah

I playfully glare at him, draining that one quickly and taking another, "I-I need more."

Jace

I wipe her chin off as she drinks, sitting at her side, "Just take it easy. Too fast and you'll end up doubled over again. Is it the pups?"
