TMI High [COMPLETED]

Chapter 14: Adjusting

Clary POV

I got to bring the twins home a few days after they were born. The doctors gave us little hearing aids for Cecily and I got to laugh watching Jace try to get them on our squirming little girl. I laughed even more when Luca started laughing with me.

I moved back into the loft with the babies and it is not easy getting them up and down. I'll spare you the details except that it takes a papoose, two trips, and amazing coordination.

I'm playing with Luca when I hear crying from the crib and walk over with Luca on my hip with his favorite monkey toy. Cecily is in the crib she shares with her brother with tears in her big eyes. "Hey little Cecy. What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

I put Luca down in the play pen and pick her up. I check her diaper to see if that's what's bothering her. I put her in the play pen with Luca and go to the kitchen to get a bottle.

While I'm warming the milk under the faucet, the buzzer for the apartment rings. Jon goes and answers it, telling whoever it is to come on up. He then comes over and helps me in putting away the formula. I raise an eyebrow since he hasn't been the most supportive with my whole getting pregnant thing. "What? You think I want to hear a baby crying 24/7?" Jonathan says but by his smirk I can tell he does care.

"Well thank you anyway," I say and head back up to the loft. When I look in the play pen, Cecily and Luca are playing together with her teddy bear.

I take them both onto the bed and start to feed Cecily. After a minute or two I hear two voices downstairs. A minute later I hear someone coming up the ladder and see Jace appear. As soon as the twins see him, they start giggling like crazy. Jace comes over and picks up Luca.

Jace tickles Luca as he says, "Is someone happy to see their daddy?" Luca laughs more and smiles brightly. "Hey babe," Jace says as he bends down to kiss me.

"Hey. Do you want to go to your house with me and the twins? I've been itching to get out of this loft and Izzy's been bugging me to bring them over." I finish feeding Cecily and start to burp her as I wait for the response.

"Yeah. I've been getting an earful too. Let's get them dressed first," Jace says and takes Luca to the dresser.

He pulls out the matching outfits Magnus got Luca and Cecily (the ones in the pictures at the beginning) and we put the twins in them. We slip booties on their feet and I put a little pastel yellow bow in Cecily's hair.

Jace carries the twins down while I get dressed. It's a hot day, so I pull on a white tank top, a navy skirt, and navy flats. As I look in the mirror to put my hair in a messy bun I see exactly what Mom meant when she said being pregnant had its perks in certain areas. I don't bother doing makeup and head down the ladder.

Jace is securing Luca in his carrier when I finish going down. When he turns around, he walks over and traps me in the circle of his arms. "Did I tell you you look beautiful today?" Jace asks smirking.

I blush and smile a little. "Not before a minute ago. And if you take my hair out of that bun I will break your arm," I say as his hand inches closer to my bun.

"It's not my fault I like your hair better down." He kisses me passionately and my arms wrap instinctively around his neck. He pulls me closer as my fingers curl into his hair. He plants a kiss on my neck and lingers there for a minute before I moan softly.

"As much as I hate to bring this up, Jonathan is just in his room, our kids are right there, and weren't we going to your place," I say as a moan again.

Jace grunts a little and pulls away. "If you insist." We each grab a carrier and go to my car.

The drive seems fairly short and we get to Jace's house. I shoulder the baby bag and grab Luca's carrier as we walk to the door. Jace is just about to get his key out when the door is flung wide open by a beaming Isabelle and Magnus. Magnus puts on a serious face and states, "Hands over the babies and no one gets hurt."

As I laugh a little I tell them to hold on and wait for us to actually put the babies down. As soon as the babies are unstrapped from the carriers, Izzy and Magnus take one.

Magnus, who is holding Cecily, compliments on her style (no surprise there). Izzy can't stop talking about how they're both the perfect mix of us. Alec, Max, Maryse, and Robert all come in abs we play with Cecily and Luca for a while. I'm bouncing Cecily in my lap trying to calm her down and Jace is doing the same to Luca. Basically, Robert got a rubber ducky to play with them with and they stayed screaming and crying like crazy. I guess they really are Jace's children.

As Cecily starts to drift off, I walk to Jace's room. I quietly change Cecily into her pastel green pajamas and place her in the crib Jace keeps in his room. I watch as she clutches her little teddy bear close. I remember her hearing aids and quickly take them out hoping she doesn't wake up.

I walk over to the dresser and put them in their case. I decide to just spend the night here, so I open Jace's drawer to grab a t shirt. The black one I chose is like a dress on me but I don't mind. I slip the skirt off so I'm just in compression shorts and the t shirt. I undo my hair and walk over to the crib again.

I stand there watching Cecily sleep for God knows how long until I hear someone open the door. I look over and see Jace holding a sleeping Luca. I smile at him as he changes Luca into his navy blue pajamas and lays him down in the crib. I bend over to kiss their heads and as I straighten I feel Jace wrap him arms around my waist. We stabs lime that for a while and just peacefully watch them sleep.

I feel Jace kiss my head and realize how tired I am. It seems like Jace is the only thing keeping my standing. I walk over to the bed and climb in, Jace following after turning the light off. His arms wrap tightly around me as his body fits into mine and I listen as his breathing starts to steady. I close my eyes and let the dreams take me.
