I'm going back to the first person thing...It just sounds better for 'Parenting'
Who's ready to know what the twins can do? You are. Okay, well if your sure...
Clary POV
"Ahh, that was great." Jace whispered, taking in a deep breath. I snuggled up closer into the crook of his neck, laying my arm across his waist.
"I know. Who would have ever thought a nap could feel so good." I replied, smiling as Jace's chest moved up and down with laughter.
He pecked my head. "Anyone with kids."
I nodded in total agreement. We laid in silence for a few moments and I sent up a silent prayer of thanks to my mom for her and Luke taking the kids out for ice cream after lunch. A buzz from the nightstand broke the quiet though.
"Who is calling you?" I asked as Jace sat up, grabbing his cell.
He frowned and pressed it to his ear. "Hello?...What about the twins?..Huh?...Your joking...Are you sure it's not Ari, she's tricky...Oh..Okay. Bye." He closed the phone with a snap and I stared at him with raised eyebrows.
"Was that mom?" Jace nodded and flung the comforter back, standing. I sat up straight, watching as he searched dug around in the dresser for a shirt. Okay, I'll admit, we've been together for 18 years now and one sight of Jace shirtless still makes me want to drool. So all I do is smile when he turns and winks at me, slipping on a gray t-shirt.
I stretch and stand, smoothing out the slight wrinkles in my light pink top. "They're on the way back." Jace said, coming over and taking me by the waist. I grinned and pressed up on my toes, kissing him gently on the mouth. Our kiss was sweet, and after a moment I felt his familiar tongue glide across my bottom lip. As much as I hated to admit it, we were too old to do french kissing outside our bedroom anymore, but hell did I still love it.
A loud clang and screech indicated that the elevator had arrived and sudden yelling told me that our children had. Jace smiled and shrugged as we walked out of our room and toward the entryway, where 4 loud children and two tired looking grandparents were standing.
"Hi babies." I said, crouching down as my twin 4 year olds jumped into my arms. Ari and Jamie were arguing about something but after them doing that for years, I've learned to tune in out mostly.
"So what happened?" Jace questioned, looking between my Mom and Luke. Mom stared back at him.
"Well, it was very strange. First we went to order and all the kids said what they wanted, and as Luke went to order Elaine said that he 'lost money'. And then Roxy looked up and said 'Nother person pay'. I thought they were just talking to themselves but then Luke came back and said he must have lost the money he'd gotten out at the bank so he was just going to use the debit card, but that some kind old lady had paid for the order instead, seeing all the kids."
I listened intently, glancing down at Roxy and Laney who were chasing each other around my legs. "So you think they...predicted the future?"
Mom nodded but Luke's eyebrows smushed together. "I think it's a little more than that."
Jace answered this time. "How so." He then snapped his fingers, glaring in Ari and Jamie's direction, effectively shutting them up. They both frowned and went toward the small sitting room/living room just across from the library.
Luke then said. "We were getting on the train and Jamie and Ari were walking behind us and Roxy said 'Jamie found money!' at the same time Elaine said, 'Arwi choke'. And once we got on the train, Jamie found 5 dollars in his seat, and Ari practically choked to death on her gum when the train came to an unexpected stop." Luke took a breath and then looked at me. "It seems that they not only predict the future, but Elaine predicts the bad things that happen to people and Roxy the good things."
I felt my jaw drop. "Oh my god. Can't are kids get...I don't know, normal powers?" I looked over at Jace as the twins ran to the living room where Ari and Jamie had disappeared. He raised an eyebrow.
"Is there such a thing as that?" He said.
I glared at him. "I was hoping they wouldn't get one at all. 2 our of 4 was enough for me." Jace started laughing and we all looked at him.
"Well, lets just hope Roxy talks more than Elaine." He said, smiling.
I smacked his arm.
Does anyone remember the oracle twins from that weird show 'jake long' somthing? That's where I got the idea for the twins power from. Roxanne predicts good things, Elaine predicts bad. So their Oracle Twins!
Review what you think!
