Fire message

Clary

Alec and Magnus returned to New York after a week.

I remember Magnus making a portal and Alec stepping through it before saying his goodbyes.

I turned over to face a sleeping Henry.

I checked my bedside clock.

7:08

Better start the day.

I slid out of bed and clomped down stairs. I grabbed some eggo waffles and popped them in my toaster.

A couple minutes later jace comes and hugs me from behind

A blush crawls upon my face as I quickly turn around.

"M-morning jace."

I looked up at the blonde angel.

"Morning Clare bear."

Jace moved his arms around my neck and pressed my head to his chest.

I sighed quietly and wrapped my hands around his waist.

We stayed like that for a while. That is, until Henry came downstairs and tugged ok our shirts.

I was blushing like a mad woman the rest of the morning.

I was plopped down on my bed, looking through ikea magazines.

I had a sharpie in one hand and my phone in the other.

Most of the products had been circled. I had to go back and check the list, but with a bronze sharpie.

I heard a knock on the door. I quickly looked up, not hiding the surprised look on my face. It was jace. Jace herondale had just knocked on my door. Key word 'knocked'.

He sat down next to me and looked at the catalog in my hand.

"So-"

I was cut off by jace crashing his lips against mine. I felt the chills run down my spine and he pressed harder, his teeth crashing against mine.

I didn't really want to pull away so I kisses back, my lips following his.

My hands floated up to his hair.

I pulled on his bottom chunks of hair as he bit my lower lip, as though he were asking to enter.

I realized what had happened in that minute and quickly pulled away. My lips were chapped and red, my cheeks a darker shade of red than my lips and my hair a tangled mess.

Jace had his hair flying all over the place, his lips swollen. He wasn't as flushed as me. Jace was currently on top of me. We stayed like that before Henry pounced on jaces back, keeping his body directly on top of mine.

I gulped and pushed jace off of me.

"Wh-what was that?" I said after a while. "I mean, I basically welcomed you with open arms."

He was grinning ear-to-ear.

Jace leaned close to my ear. "Give me a second chance?" he slightly nibbled on my ear lobe before walking out of the room.

"Jace!" I called out. "Don't expect me to welcome you that easily! That was just a test!"

He walked back to me and put his lips centimeters away from mine.

"Let's see about that."

He said before walking back out.

•••

I woke up from my two-hour nap. I had a sharpie in one hand and a crumpled catalog in the other.

I sigh and roll out of bed and walk to my kid.

The memory from a few hours ago played in my head, like a song that won't leave until you forget about it.

I set Henry on my lap and started bouncing him up and down. I pulled a puzzle towards us and let Henry put the pieces back together as Isabelle trotted down the stairs.

"Hey iz," I said through a yawn.

She chuckled and say down next to me. "So...."

Damn, things got awkward fast

I kept bouncing Henry on my lap.

"Hey izzy?"

"Yeah?"

"Did jace have any girlfriends while I was gone?"

Iz looked at me weird. "Nah. Not really. He just sulked in his room or killed demons. He didn't really do... anything. Not even go to the pub."

A small smile crept upon my lips.

"Is that so...."
