Clary's Pov
I was sitting on the couch watching a movie waiting for Jackson to come home from picking up my daughter Kenadee from school, I had told him i'd do it but he insisted on picking her up. I thought it was sweet that he was trying to step up and be there for her since Jace is in a different country right now it's hard on her when he's gone but Jackson tries his best to be there and be her friend. My phone rang from the other side of the couch I didn't really want to move from my spot but the ringing didn't stop.
"Hello?"
"Guess who will be back in town next week?" Simon said cheerfully.
"My dear best friend?"
"That would be correct."
"I've missed you, please stop traveling the world."
"I'll think about it how have you been?"
"I'm okay I guess Jackson officially moved in last week so it's been kind of crazy lately."
"Wow does Jace know?"
"I don't think it's his business but when he comes back in town I will tell him."
"I just- I thought you guys were doing that therapy and trying to work out your problems?"
"Jace stopped coming to the stupid therapy sessions and honestly they weren't helping all it did was drive an even bigger wedge between us."
"Well wasn't your therapist the one who suggested the separation instead of the divorce? You guys went through with it so you have to still have some feelings there?"
"Since when were you rooting on Jace's side?"
"I'm not on anyone's side Clary I just I want what's best for you."
"I'm happy right now Simon with Jackson, things with Jace they just went downhill and I will always love him he's the father of my daughter and my first love but I just- this is what's best for us and it sucks I won't lie it really freaking sucks but it's and who knows what the future will bring."
"As long as you and Kena are happy."
"We are happy." I said and just then the front door opened and in came my energetic six year old daughter.
"Mommy!" She yelled and jumped onto me.
"Oh my big girl."
"Who are you talking to?" She asked pressing her ear up against the phone.
"Simon."
"Hi uncle Simon!" She yelled.
"Hello my little red riding hood?" I rolled my eyes at the name, she had gotten my bright red hair but her daddy's curls she was literally the miniature version of me and sometimes it was a little freaky.
"Mommy can I have the phone?"
"Here." She ran towards her room with the phone glued to her ear.
"Hey beautiful." Jackson said plopping down next to me on the couch kissing my head.
"Hey handsome."
"So Kenadee told me they are have this fair in town and she begged for us to go."
"When is it? Jace will be home next weekend so he will have her."
"It's this weekend I think, she has a flyer for it in her backpack she said it would be the most greatest funnest thing to do ever in her life, those were her exact words before begging for ice cream."
"Is that why you guys are late getting home because you got ice cream?"
"No we got smoothies."
"Jackson." I yelled, he smiled and pulled me closer to him.
"Have you seen that face? It's impossible to say no to her."
"Well you better start saying no."
"Maybe in a few years when the cuteness wears off." He said as she came skipping towards us.
"Uncle Simon had to go." She said sadly.
"Jackson said something about a fair?"
"Oh yeah!" She picked up her backpack and pulled out a flyer and handed it to me. "Can we go mommy?"
"Do you work this weekend?" I asked he sighed leaning back against the couch he worked at an Army training base that was pretty far from where we lived and when I brought up moving he turned it down said he didn't want to take Kena that far away from Jace.
"No and I am hoping it stays that way."
"You don't seem so happy, what's wrong?"
"We can talk about it later." He said looking at Kena who was jumping up and down.
"So we can go?"
"Yeah baby girl we can." I said she did a little happy dance.
Jace's Pov
Everyone had gone out to celebrate the tour almost being over but I had promised Kena I would talk to her before she went to bed so I stayed awake until four in the morning even though I had to be up at 6:30 it's worth it if I get to talk to my sweet little girl, right at 4:15 my phone rang.
"Hi daddy." Kena said in mid yawn.
"Hey princess, how was your day?"
"I got a 100 on my spelling test and when we played kickball for P.E I kicked the ball and it hit someone in the face everyone laughed and I got a bunch of high fives."
"Was the kid okay?" What I really wanted to do was congratulate her but I knew that would be considered bad parenting right there.
"Yeah he still played, daddy are you going to sleep to?"
"Yeah I'm laying in bed and once we hang up I need to get some sleep."
"Oh."
"Are you going to sleep?" I asked as she yawned again.
"I'm not tired."
"Oh? So who is that yawning?"
"Ummm a ghost."
"Well that's one very sleepy little ghost."
"Yeah but not me."
"I can't wait to come home and see you."
"Can I spend the night at your house?"
"Of course you are spend a few days with me maybe a week if your mom says yes."
"And it will just be me and you."
"Well uh I actually have someone I want you to meet?"
"Who?"
"That's not really important right now monkey." When she was about two she was obsessed with climbing trees and bananas have always been her favorite so she was my little monkey girl.
"Daddy?"
"Yes my love?"
"Guess what I'm going to do this weekend?"
"What?"
"Go to the fair!"
"All by yourself?"
"No! I'm just a little kid."
"With mommy?"
"And Jackson." I'll admit I was surprised when Clary took our therapist idea and put herself into dating scene again at first I hated the idea of him being in my daughter's life and as a result of that Kena treated Jackson poorly it wasn't until I met him that I realized that he loved Kena just as much as Clary and I, nothing would change the fact I am her father but it's nice that she has someone there when I'm gone even if I don't like the fact he's sleeping with Clary.
"Jace?" Amber said sleepily from beside me. "Why are you up?"
"I'm talking to Kena."
"What daddy?"
"Nothing baby, alright I'm gonna let you go to sleep now."
"But daddy I still want to talk to you." She said and started to sniffle. "Please?"
"You need to sleep Monkey you have school in the morning."
"But I miss you."
"I miss you too baby girl so much but you will see me next week."
"But I want you to come home now." She was crying now.
"Please don't cry Kena if I could come home right now I would."
"Okay."
"I love you."
"Love you." She said still crying and then hung up the phone.
"You okay?" Amber said rolling up onto her elbows.
"Yeah…"
"You don't seem okay."
"I just miss her that's all."
"I'm excited to meet her we've been going out for a few months now."
"I know, I want you to meet her."
"You do?" She asked surprised.
"I know you wanted to meet her the last time I had her but I just didn't feel like it was the best time but I think it's okay now I mean she's use to her mom dating someone now so I'm sure she will love you."
"Maybe we can take her bowling or something I don't have to meet her straight away."
"Thank you."
"I'm kind of nervous."
"Don't be, she will love you."
"Get some sleep Jace we both know you didn't sleep at all."
"I got a few hours I just wanted to make sure I was up when she called."
"Go to sleep." She said laying back down, I pulled her towards me and sighed trying to will myself to sleep.
Kenadee's Pov
"Jackson! Can we go on that?" I asked pointing towards the Ferris wheel he smiled and nodded. "Come on." I grabbed his arm and tried to pull him but he was talking to mommy.
"Want to come baby?"
"Uh no I don't do Ferris wheels but thank you."
"Of course." He reached for me and picked me up putting me on his shoulders. "So you excited to see your dad?"
"Yeah! We are going to go bowling and eat ice cream and we might go to the beach and it will just be me and my daddy."
"And eat vegetables."
"Nope, no veggies."
"Yes veggies."
"Veggies are nasty." I said he reached up to tickle my side I screamed and almost fell off his shoulders. "Stop!"
He let me stay on his shoulders until we were at the front of the line and he flipped me over placing me on the ground. "Let's go KenaBear."
"And after this we can eat Cotten candy we just have to sneak away from mommy she will get upset."
"Because you haven't eaten real food yet."
"Oh and funnel cake." He smiled and rolled his eyes, I liked spending time with Jackson because he was always nice to me and he made my mommy happy, all my mommy and daddy did together was fight and yell at each and that made me sad but now they are happy and they get along sometimes.
"I will but you funnel cake but you can't tell your mom."
The entire ride on the ferris wheel Jackson made funny jokes mommy would not approve of, after the ride I begged to get back on his shoulders because I didn't want to walk anymore. "Funnel cake!" I yelled tapping Jackson's head.
"How about you have some real food Kenadee?" Mommy said I crossed my arms and poured.
"But mommy it's suppose to be a fun day pretty pretty pretty please?"
"How about you eat real food and then you can have some funnel cake."
"Promise?"
"Yes baby."
"I want a corn dog." Mommy tried to pay for it but Jackson got mad and messed with her hair, while she was fixing it he payed for my corn dog.
"Do you want to sit down?" Mommy asked but I shook my head.
"I want to stay right here."
"Don't drop ketchup on my head." Jackson said I giggled.
That night I fell asleep cuddled up against mommy my stomach hurt from all the food I ate, daddy was coming home in a few days and I would finally get to see him I don't know how long I would get to stay with daddy but hopefully it was awhile.
So I don't know if I will go on with this story or not let me know if you think I should
