Chapter 13

It was silent for a while as they stayed in that position. Jarred suddenly heard murmuring voices and the unmistakable clickof a picture being taken by a camera.

Jarred opened his eyes and blinked a few times adjusting to the sunlight.

Standing in front of him was their friends. It seems that Arcus and Jake had arrived. Pascal had his arm around Stephanie's shoulder. Arcus was smiling at him with his arms crossed. Jake was smirking while holding up a camera.

"Aww it's a family moment." Jake said, his voice low. He was wearing his red and black swimming trunks.

"I'm going to punch you in the nose." Jarred mumbled quietly.

"Don't worry, we'll give you a copy." Arcus said, smiling softly. The nineteen year old son of Apollo was wearing his camp shirt and black shorts.

"Or how about this. I pummel you both into the ground." Jarred smirked.

Arcus smirked back. "I don't think Alice would appreciate you pummeling her favorite brother to the ground."

"I'd make it up to her somehow."

"Hmm...We'll see." Arcus smirked.

"Though in all seriousness Jarred, you four really do look like a family." Stephanie said.

"Yeah, we've noticed." He rolled his eyes as he sat up a bit stiffly. Alice and Aiden mumbled something before settling down again.

"Are you sure the twins aren't yours?" Jake asked as her smirked.

"Believe me; I'd know if they were mine." He felt embarrassed saying that to his brother.

"Sure sure." Jake replied as he waved his hand dismissively. Jarred rolled his eyes.

He heard mumbling from his left and looked down to see Alice slowly waking up. "What's going on?" she mumbled.

"Alice...You just slept in your bathing suit next to Jarred." Pascal said, smirking at her.

"Well...all four of you did actually." Stephanie added.

Jarred carefully pulled Aiden into his lap so he could sit up properly. "I don't even remember falling asleep..."

"You four were asleep for around an hour." Stephanie said as Jake took another picture.

"Stop it with the pictures Jake, seriously." He chuckled and turned to Stephanie. "Seriously? Doesn't feel like it."

"No. This is a perfect opportunity for family pictures." Jake told him. Jarred still couldn't believe that this guy is older than him.

Stephanie shook her head at Jake as Pascal chuckled. Turning to Jarred she said, "Yeah you were."

"The boys are still out cold, big surprise." He laughed.

Alice looked over at Aiden and smiled softly before looking up at Jarred. "We better get them changed."

"Yeah I know."

Alice reached out and grabbed Jarred's shirt before putting it on. She then carefully moved Hunter and picked him up. The small boy mumbled a bit before latching onto Alice, still asleep.

Jarred picked up Aiden in his arms and stood up.

"We'll see you later guys." Jarred looked at the other four before heading back to the cabins.

"No Daddy...I still want to swim..." Aiden murmured, just as Jarred took a step.

He blinked surprised, but gave a soft smile. "We can swim later today." He said quietly and continued to walk.

"We want to swim Daddy..." Aiden murmured before pulling back and looking at Jarred, his eyes sleepy.

"Mommy…We still want to swim..." Hunter said, rubbing his eyes. Alice looked at Hunter in surprise before smiling softly.

"Did…did they just call you two mommy and daddy?" Pascal said, his eyes wide.

Jarred sighed and turned on his heel. This hadn't been the first time the twins had called them that, but usually they were alone, and their friends weren't around. "Yeah they did."

"That's so sweet." Stephanie cooed, looking softly at the twins.

"How long have they been calling you that?" Arcus asked.

"About a week..." Jarred said shifting Aiden in his arms.

"Really?" Pascal said. "That long?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Nothing just curious. You guys are okay with them calling you that?"

"I'm okay with it." Jarred shrugged. "Alice?"

"I don't mind." She said as she shifted Hunter in her arms.

"Can we swim Dad?" the twins asked again, looking at Jarred.

"Not right now boys." He said calmly.

They both pouted at him. "Then can we stay with you and mommy?"

"Of course you can stay." He smiled as he started walking back to the cabins.

"Then why are we going back to the cabin?"

"To get you two changed." Alice replied.

"You two can't run around in your swim suits all day." Jarred added.

Turning to their friends, Alice said. "We'll come back in a little while."

"Come on Alice!" Jarred called to her, already half-way back.

"Ah! Coming!" She said, hurrying to Jarred while still carrying Hunter.

He laughed as he waiting for her to catch up.

The two carried the twins all the way towards the Ares Cabin. When they arrived, they quickly changed the twin's clothes.

"I'm not going to swim anymore." Alice told Jarred as she slipped Hunter into a new shirt and helped him put on his head cloths, purple over red.

Jarred did the same, helping Aiden tie his tennis shoes. "Yeah I think I'm done too, but I'll take the boys down later on to keep an eye on them."

"There." Alice said, standing up and looking Hunter up and down. She nodded to herself. "I'm still going back to the lake to watch over the others. I have to talk to Jake for a bit anyway." she told Jarred.

"Why?" He asked curiously as he put Aiden's head set on and sat him down.

Alice winked at him. "It's a secret."

"Come on Alice tell me."

"It's a secret!" Alice giggled. "You'll know what it is in two weeks."

"Um, okay?" Jarred stared at her confused.

Alice giggled. "I'm just going back to my cabin to get changed. I'll meet you guys back here. Behave yourselves boys." she said before walking towards the door. She was just about to leave when she turned back. "Oh, by the way. you're not getting this shirt back Jarred." she said, winking before going out the door.

"Oh really now?"

"Yep!" he heard her shout.

He snickered and got up following her out the door. "You sure about that?" He said catching up to her.

"Yep!" she repeated as the twins caught up to them.

Jarred put his arms around her waist lifting her up off the ground. "I'm so throwing you in the lake." He got her into his arms and started walking to the lake.

"What?! No!" Alice laughed out. The twins were snickering as they followed the two.

"Too bad." He snickered as he walked onto the dock.

"Jarred! Let go!" Alice laughed. Their friends were looking at them in amusement along with the other campers who were at the lake.

"As you wish!" Jarred threw her into the lake.

"JARRED!" she screamed before she landed in the water. Their friends and the other campers roared with laughter.

Jarred sat at the edge of the dock laughing. "You walked right into that one!" He laughed.

Alice resurfaced and shook her head. "You're in big trouble mister!" she threatened, grinning at him. She took off his now wet shirt and threw it at his face, which caught him off guard.

He froze as the ice cold shirt hit his face. Jarred took it and set it aside "Oh I'm so scared." He taunted.

Alice grinned. "You'll see." She said before walking out of the lake over to Jake. She pulled him aside the others and began talking to him, her expression turning from mischievous to soft.

Jarred watched her confused. What in the name of the gods is she doing?

Jarred watched them talk back and forth, sometimes glancing towards him. He saw Alice whisper something to Jake's ear and saw Jake blush. He saw Jake nod as he scratched the back of his head and he saw Alice's smile get wider. He saw him handing an object at her and then her going back to the cabin.

Jarred saw it all.

He walked over to Jake who still looked flustered. "Something you want to tell me?" He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Jake jumped then turned to look at Jarred. 'W-what are you talking about?"

"I saw Alice talking to you." He raised an eyebrow. "What did she tell you?"

Jake shook his head. "I can't say. I'm sorry bro."

Jarred sighed displeased with his lack of knowledge. I'm going to find out what's up if it's the last thing I do...
