My writing kick is wearing off but I'm trying to keep up with this story. I'm enjoying making these oneshot's and it's actually good that there so random XD
I don't own the MI characters. Just Arriane and Jamie! :)
Clary POV
Reaching my hands behind my neck, I tied the halter of my tankini bathing suit up. I sighed and smirked in the mirror, smoothing my hands over the spandex like material that covered my torso.
The patter of feet turned my attetion to the door of mine and Jace's bathroom. Arriane and James came running in at top speed, both of them dressed and ready for pool time.
"Mommy! Look at my bathing suit aunt Izzy got me!" Ari gushed, doing a quick twirl so I could see the multicolored tankini bathing suit she wore. It had a frill half skirt sewed onto the bottoms and the top was halter like mine. Except where my stomach was covered, a 2 inch strip of her tanned tummy was showing. She did look cute, I'll give Izzy that.
I smile at her and pounce, giving her tummy a tickle. She squeals and jumps back, a large grin pulling her face up. "Mommy!" She yells, wrapping her arms around herself in protection.
Jamie laughed and grabbed onto my leg, securing himself there. He's so much more like me than Ari is. She has way to much of Jace's personailty. I had bought him a pair of red bathing suit shorts and a black and red swim shirt so his pale skin wouldn't get burned. He looks up at me with eyes so much like his daddy's, making me grin.
I pull Jamie to me and set the three year old on my hip as Jace and Isabelle both enter the bathroom. Izzy's face is twisted into a mock glare. "Are you ready yet?" She demands, placing her hands on her hips. I notice Ari doing the same out of the corner of my eye. I really need to tell her not to do everything her aunt does.
Jace rolls his eyes. "She's been like this for the past hour." he laments, leaning against the doorway. My sister in law narrows her eyes at him.
"I have not!" She insists.
"I say take another 20 minutes as punishment." Jace offers, smirking at me. I chuckle lightly.
"JACE LIGHTWOOD! I'M GONNA WHIP YOU SO HARD..!" Isabelle threatens.
"I reserve that kind of stuff for Clary." Jace interrupts. My face flushes and I walk to Jace and whap him on the arm.
"What?" He asks. I glare.
"Not in front of the kids Jace!" I said, glancing toward where Ari stood. That child picks up on things to quickly and is way to curious for her own good. I already had to pounce on my husband for swearing and making our children's favorite word for a while start with the letter S.
Izzy started laughing and I pushed them all out the door. By using Alec's influence we got Magnus to make a pool in the backyard of the Institute for the day. I had asked how that was going to look to mudanes but he said that they would just see what looked like volunteers trying to spurce up the yard. I dropped it after that.
Jace took Jamie and set him on his shoulders as we walked down the hall and I grabbed Ari's hand. I kept glancing at her as we walked to the entryway because she looked to deep in a thought for a 8 year old.
Finally we reached the elevator and Izzy stabbed the button harshly.
"Momma." I heard Ari say, tugging on my hand. I looked down at her.
"Yes?"
"Can I ask you a question?" By the Angel that's never a good sign, I thought worriedly. I nodded hesitantly. I saw Jace was watching us also.
"Do you whip daddy cause he's being bad?" She asked, nothing but pure curiousity in her wide green eyes.
My jaw dropped a little and my face had to turn beet red. Izzy began laughing.
"Honey, honey I don't whip daddy." I tried to convince her, kneeling down in front of her so we were eye level. A little crease formed between her eyebrows.
"Daddy said you did!" She said, making me turn to look at Jace. His cheeks were tinted pinker than normal.
"I can't control what she gets out of my words." He defended.
"Yes you can! Don't say them!" I pointed out as the elevator clanged to a stop. Alec and Magnus were both inside, dressed in beach wear. Although I'm not sure why I was slightly shocked that Magnus was wearing a purple, glitterfied one peice swimsuit from the 1920's.
"What's up?" Alec asked, looking at mine and Jace's red faces and Izzy hunched over, trying to breathe.
Ari sighed. "Nothing really. Momma just whips Daddy cause he's naughty." She said causally. "Can I swim now?"
I got redder if possible and put my face in my hand.
"Swim! Swim!" Jamie crowed, patting Jace's hair.
We gathered into the elevator and started to descend. I peered over at Magnus and Alec, who were looking at Jace and I.
"What?" I questioned.
"I didn't know you guys rolled that way." Alec answered.
When we left the elevator Alec had my handprint embedded on his bare shoulder.
What do ya think? Any good? I thought it was funny!
