"Jace, it's not funny," Clary fumed as she followed a laughing Jace into the kitchen.
"Oh c'mon, Clary, it's a little funny," Jace smiled. "Jocelyn and Luke thought it was funny," He chuckled.
"What's not funny?" Isabelle and Magnus asked.
"I wore two different shoes to my Mama's today because I can't see my feet," Clary answered them.
They all looked at her feet and sure enough Clary was wearing two different shoes. They busted out laughing.
Isabelle cleared her throat, "Yeah, you guys, that's not funny."
"No, but watching her trying to get out of a chair is," Alec stated with a huge grin. He and the others laughed harder, especially Jace.
Clary frowned and sat down at the table, "That's it. I want this baby out, right now."
"Clary, this stuff is normal as you get further along," Isabelle told her.
"I know, but my body can't possibly survive much more of this. My feet are swollen. My back hurts..." She whined. "JACE! WILL YOU STOP BREATHING DOWN MY NECK?!" She suddenly snapped.
Jace and the others looked at each other confused. "Love," He said, "I'm over here." Jace was on the other side of the room sitting on the countertop with a cup of coffee.
Clary looked up and saw that he was nowhere near her. She sighed, "I'm so tired of being pregnant."
"So are we," Alec muttered getting out the juice from the fridge. Magnus chuckled.
"Well, at least I can climb stairs," Clary mused.
"Are you kidding?" Magnus arched a brow, "You can hardly even stand up." Alec snickered.
"Yeah, Clary, show us how fast you can get out of that chair," Jace smirked. He and the others busted out laughing. He dodged the salt shaker that Clary threw at him with a laugh and a Cheshire Cat grin. "C'mon Love," Jace went to her, "Don't be like that. I was just playing." Clary looked away as Jace crouched down beside her with a puppy dog look on his face.
Clary glanced at him anyway and couldn't stop the grin that replaced her frown. Jace smiled back at her and pressed his forehead against hers and kissed her deeply. He kissed her swollen stomach lovingly.
