20. Hello Robert

"What?" Izzy asked.

"Maryse said to tell you guys that your father is visiting tomorrow," Clary repeated.

"Why?" Alec asked.

"I don't know," Clary shrugged.

Alec sighed, and everyone knew why. Robert still wasn't a big supporter of Alec being gay.

"Whatever." Max shrugged. He wasn't too fond of his father either, ever since he found out about the whole cheating thing.

"Well, we'll just have to see what he wants tomorrow," Jace said, wrapping his arms around Clary's waist.

*The next day*

Jace watched as his fiancée slept in his arms peacefully.

He just wanted to stay in bed with her all day, but Clary had told him to wake her up early, so they could get ready for the meeting with Robert.

Jace shook her lightly. "Clary, wake up," he said softly.

Clary groaned and rolled over. "Go away mom."

Jace chuckled. "Clary, don't make me tickle you," he threatened.

Clary's eyes flew open. "I'm up!"

Jace smirked. "Maybe I should tickle you anyway."

"Jace, don't you dare!" Clary said, backing away.

"Oh, I think I will," he said, coming closer to her.

He pushed her down on the bed gently, and started moving his hands up and down her sides.

Clary giggled, "Jace! Jace stop!"

"What do you say?" he asked teasingly.

"I'll let you take a shower with me?" she said.

"That wasn't quite what I was looking for, but it'll do," he said, helping her up.

"Pervert," Clary muttered.

"Yeah, but I'm your pervert." He smiled, pulling her close.

"That's so cheesy," Clary said.

"Do you want to be tickled again?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Let's go take a shower," Clary said quickly.

"Good idea!" he said and followed her to the bathroom.

They came out an hour later and continued getting ready.

"Dad's coming through the portal," Izzy said, coming into their room, not even bothering to knock.

"By all means, please come in," Jace said sarcastically.

"Why do you think he's here?" Izzy asked, ignoring Jace.

"I don't know, why don't we go find out?" Jace suggested.

They went downstairs and found everyone already in the library.

Maryse and Robert were glaring at each other and Alec, Max and Magnus were just standing there awkwardly.

"Hello Robert," Jace said coldly.

"Hello dad," Izzy said, venom lacing her tone.

"Children." He nodded towards them.

There was a silence.

"Why are you here?" Maryse finally asked.

"What? Can't I be here for my son's birthday?" Robert asked.
