Chapter 8
Time lapse, week before Christmas
Clary POV
Jace was still somewhat annoyed at me for calling my mom, making him talk to her, than me telling her Jace got me pregnant right after he said 'it's been pretty interesting here' when she asks how we were doing.
Well, hey, he had it coming with the amount of times he'd tickled me while I begged him to stop.
And, I told her that I was just kidding, even though she still said she needed to give us a stern talking on why that wasn't something to joke about.
Moms, right?
Anyway, we're currently listening to Christmas tunes with our little group in the library. Everyone's really doing their own thing, though we're all sitting with our boy/girlfriend.
Maia and Jordan and 'dancing' (hugging while swaying, so graceful), Simon and Isabelle are tickling each other with the occasionally eskimo kiss, Alec and Magnus are telling happy stories by the fire.
Jace and I, well, Jace and I are just sitting on the window seat and starting at the snow.
So amazing, right? I bet you're so jealous.
I lean against him, and he slightly leans away.
"Jaceeee," I whine. "Are you still mad about last week?"
"No, just...annoyed. You still haven't 'redeemed' yourself," He huffs, and turns his head back towards the window.
"You never apologized for tickling me, and yet, I still kissed you," That's right.
Me and Jace have not made out in 4 days. Sure, I'd occasionally steal a kiss, but never make out.
Shocked? 'Cause I sure as Hell am.
He pouts, "but you're adorable when you're all giggling! I was just scared! That's different and we've kissed."
"Because I stole them from you," I point out. "And I am not adorable when I giggle!"
"Yes, you are."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
I decide to switch it up, "Are too!"
"Yes, thank you, you are," Jace smirks.
"Damn!" I pout, crossing my arms.
He nuzzles my neck, "I'm not mad, just...Don't do that again, okay? Definitely not with Luke."
I grin, just imagining it, "I wouldn't put you through that, baby."
He crinkles his nose, and I feel it on my neck, which causes me to giggle.
"See? Adorable."
I huff, but a small smile escapes and spreads across my face, and like fire on wood, slowly spreads to his face soon until we're both just staring at each other grinning until we're laughing, falling onto each other.
I place my hand on the window to steady myself, but Jace just snatches it away and kisses my finger pads and palm.
"I love you," With that he uses the arm he has hostage to yank me onto him, crashing my lips onto his.
I melt into him, my free hand tangling in his hair and pushing me flush against him. I feel his arm snake around my waist, and our other hands are still locked together.
I gasp as his cold fingers brush a sliver of the skin beneath the waistband of my yoga pants.
I pull back and shiver, though can't unlock our intertwined fingers.
"Clary? Are you okay?" He asks me, concern flooding his eyes.
I nod, "YOUR FINGERS ARE COLD!"
He jumps a bit in surprise, laugh as he hears the others on the other side of the Library laughing.
"Whoa Jace, where are those hands going, hm?" Isabelle snickers, causing everyone else to howl with laughter again.
My cheeks take camouflage in my hair, though Jce just cockily grins and stretches like a cat.
I bury my face in the crook of his neck, not sure why this still bothers me.
But it does, so I keep my face in his neck.
He just laughs.
Ass.
He pulls his arms around me and kisses my forehead.
"Wanna make cookies before Izzy finds the batter and burns the kitchen down fatally killing our beautiful fridge?" He mumbles into my hair, and I almost don't catch it.
"I'd love to. Can we make them into the shape of gingerbread people?" I ask childishly, looking up at him through my lashes.
He grins sweetly, and picks me up, his hands gripping my thighs, "Sure, we can make them gingerbread people."
I grin like a kid in a candy store and snuggle into his chest.
We walk out of the library, and since I still hear them giggling softly, though it wasn't that funny, I scowl.
"Now now, if you keep making that face it'll freeze like that," Jace scolds me.
I stick my tongues out at him.
He just laughs and keeps walking.
I close my eyes, and just focus on the bouncing of his gait.
It's very soothing.
Abruptly, Jace throughs the kitchen door open and sets me down on the edge of the table.
He turns towards the cabinets and pulls out ingredients for the cookies while I hum and swing my feet under the table.
Once he finally has all the ingredients, I bounce off the table and stand next to him and pick up the box with the instructions.
I list off the first one, and Jace gathers the ingredients we need.
We crack eggs, pour milk, and other stuff (I can't remember exactly what you do to make gingerbread cookies)
Finally, we take them out of the oven and start frosting them while licking off the excess cookie batter from the mixing spoons.
As we're frosting, Isabelle, Simon, Jordan, Maia, Magnus, and Alec sneak into the kitchen and start eating the ones we finish. Well, Alec only gets as far as picking it up before Jace whips him with a rag and yells, at everyone, to get the 'spoons' out or he will kick all their asses later.
No one moves.
Well, at least no one actually managed to snag a cookie.
When Jace and I have finally finished frosting them all, we let them devour them, but not with out taking our fair share first.
Everyone's quiet as they eat, which hopefully means they're good.
All of a sudden, Jordan and Simon stand from their spots and Simon whips out his guitar (I know he plays bass, just pretend it's guitar for now)
The hell? He's had his guitar the entire time?
Simon starts strumming.
Thanks for so many reviews! I love them all! I plan on finishing this either day before or after Christmas, just so y'all know! Sorry it's short and late, I promise the next one will be longer, it's just that next week is my band concert so I have to practice like the Four horsemen are on me!
