Christmas: a TMI fanfic

Chapter 4

''Alright," I say looking down at my work, "I think this will work.'' I put Church in a big gift bag with smiling cartoon reindeers on it. Church jumps straight into the air and out of the gift bag. He looks up at me and hisses. I laugh as he stalks away. Now that I have that done, I have to wrap my other presents. I've decided to have Church be a present to Jace, Alec, and Izzy, so I just got each of them something small too. I got Jace some sheet music, I got Alec a sweater, and I got Izzy some makeup. When I finish wrapping them I put them next to my desk, since it's Christmas Eve. I'll wrap Church tomorrow right before I leave for the Institute. I smile thinking about tomorrow, then go downstairs. I see me mom and Luke in the kitchen, laughing and eating the Christmas cookies my mom made yesterday.

"Clary, do you want some hot chocolate or a cookie?'' My mom asks when she sees me.

"Sure.'' I say grabbing a cookie and pouring myself some hot chocolate that my mom must have made earlier. I grab the whipped cream from the refrigorator, then look around realizing I'm forgetting something.

''Do we have any marshmallows?" I ask, looking at my mom and Luke.

"I hope you know the answer to that.'' Luke says grinning at me, tossing me the bag of jumbo marshmallows. I grab two and try to fir them in my mug.

"Clary, I think you can only fit one in the mug." Luke tells me laughing.

"I'll make it work." I tell him, consentrated on stuffing the marshmallows in my mug. I eventually give up and shove one of the marshmallows in my mouth, keeping the other in my hot chocolate. Luke, who's been watching me this whole time, starts laughing. I take the cap off the whipped cream and squirt a mountain of it in my mug. I'm about to put the cap back on the whipped cream when I have an idea. I take the whipped cream and squirt a mountain into my mouth. Luke starts cracking up and my mom just stares at me. I smirk at Luke and squirt him with the whipped cream.

"Oh, you're so on!" Exclaims Luke as he whips open the refrigorator and grabs a can of whipped cream. He grins at me and starts running towards me. I scream and run out of the kitchen. I sprint through the house, screaming and laughing, while Luke springs behind me, squirting me with whipped cream. We end up back in the kitchen, laughing and covered in whipped cream. My mom just stares at us. Luke looks at me and smirks. I grin back, knowing exactly what he's thinking. We both turn to my mom and take a step towards her.

"Oh. My. God. I swear, if you do what i think you're going to do I'll-" My mom starts, pressed against the counter. She never gets the chance to finish what she was going to say. She stands, pressed against the counter, with her mouth wide open in shock, as she looks down at her whipped cream covered body. She looks up at Luke and I, then back down. She grabs a handful of whipped cream, and throws it at us, grinning. I grin back at her and look over at Luke, who's grinning to. And that's how we spent our first Christmas Eve together, as a real family, and it couldn't have been better.
