Chapter 17

~~~ wow! I'm already to 5k views and I feel like i just got started! Can't wait for your opinions on this chapter! ~~~

Maybe it was the sweet inocence of her face or the eyes that he had forever been in love or even the idea she had pushed infront of him but a baby?!

He knew it was a result of her being around Clarys' baby and maybe even rememebering Max when she was little but an idea like this was just so extrodinary.

They watched each others' eyes intently. Both pairs dark in their own respect.

"You don't want to..?" She asked- dropping her eyes. "It was stupid," She hurried her words on before he could say anything.

"No-no-no its not that at all," He cautioned his words.

"Then what do you want?" She asked.

What did he want?

~~

Magnus would stop laughing at his own joke. Or- at least- lack of joke. Alexander, I'm not kidding. He'd laughed. That was part of it; it was true that he wasnt totally kidding.

Actually he was only laughing so Alec would quit acting so shy. He was attractive like that sure, but nothing even got done when Alec looked away.

Alec tried once more to pull the warlock away from the bed- using all the energy that Magnus wished he would save for another activity.

"Magnus!" He sighed, falling cross-legged on the floor next to the bed in defeat.

"What? Am I in the way?" Magnus stretched across the bed more- knowing that this got Alec to blush more even though he didnt look down at him.

"Magnus! I need to get up early in the morning and I'm not doing anything with you tonight!" Alec finally stood up and faced Magnus seriously for once.

"Wait- where are you going?" Magnus finally got up and sat up along the edge of the bed- moving over only enough so that Alec could lay beside him.

"To the meeting in Idris- The one You're going to with me,"

"why am i going?" Magnus sighed.

"Because there needs to be a warlock representative and you're the only one that will come. Plus it might help the Clave accept you," Alec knew that was futile. The Clave would never like or accept his relationship with a guy nor a downworlder.

Magnus layed back on the bed next to Alec and sighed.

"Alexander- where would i be if you weren't watching my agenda?" The tall warlock asked.

"Probably rolling in a box of pizza,"

"Pizza!" Magnus roared, "That- i want pizza for breakfast tomorrow," Magnus got up from the bed and went to get ready for bed. Of course Alec was already ready for bed so he swiftly turned off the overhead light and read in the light that was left from the lamp beside him and the crack beneath the bathroom door.

 Magnus may not know it yet, but soon he would be at the top of a new rising.

~~ (a/n): foreshadowing be like: "he would be at the top of a new rising" lol its good ive never writen anything so obvious hehehhehhehehe HINT HINT ~~

"Clary," Jace whispered when he closed the door to the nursery. The baby had just been set to sleep although it was already past midnight.

"Jace?" She asked with a tired smile- it was genuine but so so tired looking.

Without any sound Clary was swept off her feet and into his arms. She left herself to melt into his arms and closed her eyes against the crook of his neck.

"Well look at that- i think my wife is like a baby,"

wife, I like that. Altough it had been years since they'd been married they hardly ever referred to each other as something so mundane as husband or wife.

He swept her into the bedroom and laid her out on the bed. Gently he went to the wardrobe and grabbed her her nightgown; one that was white satin underneath but had a green mesh above it that brought out her eyes.

He threw her clothes on her curled up body grabbing some for himself as well and changed quickly.  By the time he was done she has only hardly uncurled herself from her ball on the matress. She still had all her clothers on and hadn't even bothered to try putting on the nightgown.

"I'm perfectly okay with you not wearing a nightgown and all-" Jace teased, "but i would prefer it if you at least took the rest of your clothes off" he laughed.

Shooting him a glance she quickly got up and fumbled to the bathroom. Her first thought was to take a quick shower, yet at the same time she didnt want to take too long getting into bed.

She was so so tired; she had no idea she was even done changing until Jace was covering her in blankets and kissing her cheek. She shouldnt be having such a hard time getting used to being a parent.

Growing up was hard; but there was another part of it. The evergrowing aspect that she didnt feel like an adult with responsibilities or anything to do and there was always an adventure or at the very least something she could do with Jace like never before,

and as she fell asleep she let herself think of that: pictures or sky and the clouds and the rain but also the sun and the heat while it was still on her skin and that- thats what life is.
