shadow hunters-the wedding of the cursed and the beautiful

chapter 2-Jace

Jace twitched nervously in his suit.This was his life's goal. this was all he needed. Clary. An eternity with Clary. He had wanted Isabelle and Alec out of his room so he could think, but now that Isabelle had left to help clary and Alec had gone to look after max, he wanted them back. Their constant buzzing was familiar to him. Unlike how he felt now. He felt natural, totally at ease. He'd never been able to wake up without feeling worried about the threat of demons, and even though they were still a threat, you're supposed to have good luck on your wedding day, right? Then the fear started creeping in. He had a gut feeling. Something was going to go wrong. He just really hoped it would be far, far away from the institute. maybe jupiter? He couldn't shake the feeling in the pit of his stomach. Just then, a knock on the door sounded out in the empty room. Jace, cool as ever, didn't even start. He calmly got up and opened the door to find Simon Lewis, Clary's parabatai, standing in the most ridiculous position ever. Jace immediately forget about his fear when he saw Simon standing there, his legs apart and his bony chest puffed out in an attempt to look buff. He , clearly, had not succeeded. Jace burst out laughing, and, from Simons confused expression, you could clearly see that he thought  he had. "Simon, I don't care if you're a shadow hunter now. You know you will never look like me. Even if you train everyday of your life, dye your hair blond and get contacts, you will still look like a total nerd". Simon, stumbling over the words, hastily said" I'm not trying to look like you. I'm just trying to look.. you know, strong and muscular and intimidating"." Dude, you basically just described me" Jace snorted. Simon gave Jace a look that was obviously supposed to be withering, but that just sent Jace into another round of laughter. "Are you done yet?," Simon asked in and agitated tone. " I will never be done laughing at you. In fact, I was thinking about being next-door coffin neighbours so that I could could continue laughing at you from my grave". "That's enough Jace, I'm trying to be serious. Izzy told me to talk to you. 'Cause... you know". "No, I don't know Simon. Could you be more vague?" "For your credit, I won't take that as a challenge. Because I'm like Clary's brother and you know the movie stereotype of the intimidating brother giving the husband to be a talk to...". "Jace, what's wrong?". During Simons speech, Jace had sat down heavily on the bed." I... I guess I never thought about being a 'husband',you know, starting  a family. I just thought about being with Clary for the rest of my life"."Well, Jace, I'm going to say this as gently as possible. IF YOU DON't WANT TO START A FAMILY DONT MARRY CLARY".Simon yelled."whoa, Simon. Good to know how much you care about her. And it's not that I don't want to have kids or anything, I just never thought of doing it."Simon took a deep breath, restoring himself to his former peace, and said"look Jace, no-one expects you to start a family for at least another 3 to 4 years. There's no rush. At the moment, the only reassurance you need is to know that you love clary, and that you will love her for the rest of their life." Jace slowly nodded."  You, of all people, know that I will".
