7: Jace

I finally got to talk to clary.

I don't smile or anything. Well, maybe in my head. But people can't see that.

I'm in my room, sitting on the edge of my bed.

Magnus and Alec are sleeping in the downstairs guest room. Luckies.

I look up and hear crying. Henry.

I quickly open my door and pick up Henry, trying to get him back to sleep. Clary wanted me to be more of a 'father figure' so that's exactly how I'll do this.

I look at the kid in my arms.

He really does look like me.

He has strawberry-gold hair, green eyes with gold specs, my ears and nose. I smile.

I'm happy I have a kid. A kid that clary and I share. Because sharing is caring. If you're, like, six or something.

Henry finally stopped crying after me rocking him. I set him back in his crib/hammock and went back to my room.

I hope he stays asleep all night.

>Clarys POV<

I wake up next to Isabelle. The morning sun is barely rising as I hop out of bed.

I change into black skinny jeans, an oversized shirt and pulled my hair in a high pony tail.

I wash my face and put on a little bit of make up. A little bit.

I walk downstairs and cook myself some eggs.

I quickly finish and brush my teeth and plate.

I then quickly go and get Henry.

I guess jace decided to have a sleepover because he was slumped in the rocking chair with Henry in his arms.

I smile and take a picture before rushing downstairs and setting gou their breakfast. Along with everyone else's.

I hum a song while Getting henry's baby food.

I hear foot steps coming down my stairs. I can already tell who.

When I was at the institute I got bored and memorized their walking patterns.

Nothing exciting usually happened.

Except, of course, stinking demons.

"Morning guys," I said to alec and Magnus.

I heard a grumble and somebody pull back a chair.

I scoff. "At least say good morning to me. I'm letting you stay here. And I'm feeding you!" I tell the two.

Wow. Is this how parents usually act?

Henry starts whining just as I sit down.

I sigh and pick him up from his seat.

Thank a bunch, dog food.

Now my child is coughing.

I rub Henry's back in circles. He should have passed the 'mommy rub my back so I can vomit or burp really loudly' faze by now.

One pat.

Two pat.

I smile as he burps. All over Magnus.

I pour some cereal and milk in my bowl and quickly have breakfast. I rush to change Henry's diaper and rush back downstairs to find Isabelle and jace fighting over breakfast.

"No, I want to make breakfast!" I hear izzy scream.

Jace grunts. "No. Last time you tried to cook, you blew something up. I'm not letting you touch anything in the kitchen. Now shoo!"

Izzy sighs and walks out of the kitchen and right into me.

I chuckle.

"Hey iz. Wanna help me with this twerp?" I ask her.

"Sure?"

I smile again. Too much smiling.
