A/N:Bow down to me my Llamas! This one is not going to be as long as the other one sorry for that and it's kind of a filler...

Tongue Tied performed by Glee

Jace doesn't come by the next morning like he said he would.

Last night I decided to take Hunter to my room and sleep with him. No matter how much I'm mad at Jace I still wish that he was here so I didn't have to sleep alone.

I wake up to Hunter's whimpering and I decide to feed him. Since Jace is usually home in the mornings to make breakfast I have to make my own today, which is kind of hard since Hunter is fussing for his daddy.

After I eat breakfast and Hunter stops fussing, I put him in his play pen and go over to Jace's closet. I take a suitcase and start putting Jace's belongings. I'm putting a pair of Jace's jeans into the suitcase when a picture from the pocket falls out.

I open in and it's a picture of me, Hunter, and Jace opening Hunter's presents on Christmas.

I look over to my right and see Hunter playing with the teddy bear that Jace got him for Christmas. Then I break down next to him for the hundredth time that day.

Jace's POV

I feel horrible. I feel like the devil took over my body and started shouting these horrible words from my mouth to the two most important people in my world.

I slam the door behind me and I want to open it back up and hug Clary but I know I can't. Not yet. I almost get in the car that Clary and I always use, her car, until I remember that it has the car seat in the back. I go over to my car and drive to my parent's house.

I knock on the door and my mom opens it five minutes later with her hair messed up and in a robe.

"Jace?" she asks.

"Hey mom. Can I stay here for a couple of days?" I ask and she nods and brings me in from the cold.

My mom brings me to my old room where some of my old stuff is still there. She doesn't ask any questions, which I'm grateful for, and then she leaves me in my room.

I lay down in my old bed and it feels weird not having that familiar warmth next to me. I take my pillow and try to hug to make it feel like Clary but it doesn't have her warmth. I can't look down at the pillow and see the light freckles covering her face. I can't look down at this pillow and look at how Clary would always open her mouth just a little. I can't look down at this pillow and see her nose, Hunter's nose.

I feel a pang in my chest and shut my eyes tightly, finally falling into oblivion.

I open my eyes to find that I'm back and Clary and I's house, although it feels different. I look around and see Clary playing with Hunter. He's definitely a little bit bigger and older than when I last saw him but I still know it's Hunter. I know who my son is.

Clary bends down in front of Hunter and stretches her arms toward him. Hunter smiles at her and then crawls to her. She cheers in excitement and gives him kisses all over his face. I suddenly bend down and stretch my arms out to him just like Clary did, but he doesn't even notice me.

"Hunter, come on. Come to daddy Hunter," I say but he still doesn't hear me.

Then a man comes out and tries to get Hunter to come to him and Hunter crawls over to him. The mysterious man picks him up and throws him up in the air. Clary stands up and goes over to him and Hunter and then gives the man a kiss. My heart is basically in pieces at this point.

I watch Clary, Hunter, and the man all walk off and leave. I just sit there astonished and then Clary comes back.

"You don't what it is to be a father. Sure you made Hunter but that's not all it takes Jace. You have to be there for him and take care of him. He needs a dad Jace and I don't think you can handle it," Clary spats at me.

"But I can handle it Clary. I can be a father to Hunter," I cry.

"Then prove it," she says and then leaves.

I wake up with a jolt and look at my surroundings. I then remember that I'm at my parent's house. I look at my phone and see that it's already nine o'clock. Oh well, no school for me today I guess I think. I get out of bed and change into the clothes that I brought with me.

I go downstairs and see my mom and dad having breakfast.

"Hello Jace," my mom greets me and I nod at her and sit down. I start eating breakfast when I look up and see them staring at me.

I raise my eyebrow at them and then my mom starts talking, "Listen Jace, we love how you're staying here for however long you need to, but we would like to know what has happened."

"Well... I was being an ass. That's basically it. Look mom and dad, I do like how you're trying to reconnect with me and how you want to become a part of my son's life... but I still need time to get used to all of this. I promise you guys that I'll trust you enough to tell you all my problems but right now I still feel like I could go talk to one of my nanny's more about this than to you guys. I'm sorry," I tell them truthfully.

My mom nods at me and then looks at my dad. "Stephen can you please give Jace and I a minute alone please?" she asks my dad and he nods then leaves.

"Look Jace, I know how you feel but I still want to talk to you about something," my mom tells me. "I know you're not going to tell me what happened with Clary, but I know that it's not good. I also know that whatever happened is not good for your son, and I know that you don't want to miss anything in your son's life. So this morning I made an appointment for you and Clary to go to a therapy session for new parents. It's in a week from today," my mom tells me and surprisingly I'm not mad. I'm actually relieved that she did this.

"Thanks mom, I really appreciate it," I tell her.

"I also want to do you a favor. I wasn't here for most of your life and to make up for that I want to help you. Now I know you're as stubborn as a pig but I'm going to help you financially," she tells me.

"Mom-," I begin but she cuts me off.

"Please Jace. I want to make up with you and I know this won't make you forgive me but it's a start. I want you to quit that awful job and spend some time with your son and girlfriend. I don't want you to become like me and your dad. I want you to spend whatever time you have with your son," she tells me and I thank her.

"Well I need to go make up with Clary but seriously, thanks for everything mom," I say and give her a hug.

I'm almost at the door until my mom speaks up again, "Oh and Jace. Don't ever give up on your son."

I smile at her and reply. "Don't worry I won't."

I recompose myself when I hear a knock on the door. I pick Hunter up from his play pen and go answer the door.

I slam it once I see who it is.

"Come on Clary! We're going to have to talk some day!" Jace yells through the door.

"Well not today!" I yell back at him.

All the yelling scares Hunter and he starts crying.

I groan and try to calm him down.

"Please Clary; we need to work this out. For Hunter," Jace says and I think about it.

Hunter needs his dad. No matter what Jace needs to be there for him and it's best if we don't hate each other.

I open the door and Jace walks in.

Hunter keeps on crying and Jace looks at him and reaches his arms out for him but I bring him closer to my arms.

"Please Clary," Jace whispers.

I bite my lip and then put Hunter in his arms.

Almost immediately Hunter stops crying. Jace holds him for a couple minutes before he sits down on the couch.

"Clary I know you're mad at me and you should be. I'm mad at myself so it's completely reasonable that you should be mad at me too, but we have to work this out," Jace tells me.

"I can't keep forgiving you Jace. It's not healthy for me or you or Hunter. One day we're not going to be able to hold the pieces together," I tell him.

"It won't be healthy to Hunter if he doesn't have both his parents together. I mean think about how it would be if we weren't together. If we're near each other we'll be fighting so much so we can't do things as a family. He'll have to have two Christmases, two birthdays, and I know that for him it will sound amazing but I know in the inside he'll just wish that both his parents are there," he tells me.

"I don't know if I can go through that again Jace. Those words you said hurt me so much and I know if Hunter could understand those words that he would be hurt too," I tell him and silent tears fall down my cheeks.

"I know that I hurt you Clary. When I said those words it hurt me too so don't you think that I know it hurt you? I can't promise you that I won't hurt you anymore but you and I both know that you will also hurt me. I love you and that will never change. No matter how many ways you can hurt me, I will always love you. I love you and I love our son and I want us to be a family," Jace tells me.

Then he kisses me and I don't pull away.

"Clary, you and I are the glue and Hunter is the pieces. Without us he's going to fall apart."

At first it's a little awkward with Jace being back even though he was only gone for a couple hours but eventually we go back into our normal routine.

Jace didn't go to school so he took care of Hunter all morning so I could go to sleep. He woke me up around two because Hunter needed to be fed.

At around five Jace needed to go to work but he came back an hour after he left.

"Why are you home early?" I asked.

"I quit my job," he tells me and takes Hunter from my arms.

"What? Why?" I ask astonished.

"Because my mom's going to help us and I want to focus more on you, Hunter, and school. That's not going to be easy if I have a job," he tells me and I decide to let it go.

As I look down at Hunter and Jace I notice something. The way Hunter is sucking his pacifier and how Jace is looking at him is perfect.

I pick up my sketch book from the kitchen counter where I left it this morning, drawing Hunter, and I begin to dram Hunter and Jace.

Jace knows that I'm drawing him but he doesn't question me about it.
When I finish drawing them I show it to him and he smiles.

"You know you should really get back into art. You're really good at it," Jace tells me.

"Maybe, but not right now. Right now my main focus is Hunter," I tell him and then we both smell a horrible smell. "Here it's my turn." I grab Hunter from Jace's arms, which wakes him up and he starts crying. "I know baby I know," I tell him as I take him to his room and put him on the changing table. Jace comes in to help me and then he puts Hunter's pacifier in his mouth. Hunter's cries die down when he has his paci and they turn into soft whimpers.
"All done buddy," Jace says as he finishes dressing Hunter. "I'm really glad that I can have this time with you and Hunter, Clary," Jace tells me.

"Yeah, well it better stay that way, because whether we like it or not we're in for the long run."

Jace and I decide to go to the new parent's counseling with Hunter.

We go into the room for our appointment and we find a woman who looks around thirty waiting for us.

"Hi you must be Clary and Jace, and I'm guessing this is little Hunter," the women says. "Well my name is Mrs. Sharon but you can just call me Kate."

"Hi Kate," I say. Kate leads us to the couch she has in the room.

"So what are some problems that you've been having with each other and with the baby?" Kate asks us.

"Well I've been having really short temper recently. I mean it doesn't take much for me to snap," Jace tells her.

"That's normal for new parents, especially teen parents. It most likely happens to the dad though. The man is so used to being treated like a god and then when a baby comes in and ruins that they'll practically do anything to earn their attention back. Also with no sleep and taking care of a little baby is very hard and sleep deprivation can cause you to be mad at about anything," Kate explains to Jace.

"Well what can he, or I, can do to stop that?" I ask her.

"Well try to have that special time with Jace. You know it won't hurt to leave little Hunter with a family member and go have some alone time. Also try and have a nice schedule. Who will get up when for the baby, what will you do for the baby. Now how about you tell me your schedule," she says.
"Well right now Jace has school from eight to four. Then I give him two hours to do his homework and settle down, then he takes Hunter and I get to sleep. In the night I wake up first because I have to feed Hunter and then burp him. Then Jace wakes up to change him and then I wake up again to feed and burp him again. Although lately Hunter is waking up just for attention and usually the only person who can calm him down is Jace," I explain to her.

"Well your schedule seems good but has it always been like that?" she asks and we shake our heads.
"We've actually been going on this routine since Tuesday," Jace tells her.

"And why's that?" she asks.
"Well on Monday night Clary and I had a fight and I said some words that I wish I never said but we both want to be together because no matter what we love each other and we don't want Hunter to grow up in a broken family," Jace tells her.

"Yes, that's a good reason because I've seen kids growing up in broken families and they don't always turn out so well," she tells us.

Kate talks to us about how we can improve on our problems and how it will work out when I go back to school. All in all the counseling session was very helpful and Jace and I decide to come back if we ever have any problems.

"Don't worry Clary, we won't let Hunter be raised in a broken family," Jace tells me and we're walking back to our car.

"I know. I love you too damn much."

"Ok now if anything goes wrong just call us and I promise that we'll come back," I tell Jon as I finish packing Hunter's stuff.

"Clary, Hunter will be fine. I'm his uncle and I've got to learn how to babysit my own nephew," Jon tells me.

"I know, but this is the first time I've left Hunter," I tell him.

"I know Clary but you need to have alone time with Jace," he tells me.

"Thanks for babysitting him Jon. Oh and also if he's fussy and wants attention don't try to comfort him. Only Jace can comfort him," I say.

"Well then what the hell am I supposed to do?" he asks.

I go to Hunter's room and look for his favorite teddy. "Here. Use this is he gets fussy. Just screw the head up and then push it back down. It's going to be Jace playing the piano and singing to him. Trust me it's a life saver. Also no swearing when you're near the baby!" I scold him and hand him the teddy bear.

"What do you have a swear jar now or something?" he asks jokingly

I nod and point to the jar onto the fireplace filled with one dollar bills.

He looks at it in horror and then looks at me like I'm crazy.

"Are you ready Clary?" Jace asks me as he comes out from Hunter's room.

"Yeah, did you change Hunter?" I ask him and he nods. "Ok well I guess we're going. Bye Jon."

I'm almost out the door until I realize I forgot to say bye to Hunter.

I run back into Hunter's room and smother him in kisses. "Bye my beautiful baby boy!" I say to him and he just coos at me.
Then I give Jon a kiss on the cheek and leave with Jace.

Jace takes me to go see Wicked. I don't try to ask him how he could afford me but all he said was that he would get anything I wanted.

I would've enjoyed the play more if I wasn't so worried about Hunter.

Jace and I had to work about three blocks away from the theater so while we're walking Jace brings something up.

"I remember how Alec had been trying to convince me to ask you out for months. But I didn't want to because you were still suffering from your breakup with Sebastian and I didn't want to be a rebound guy," he tells me.

"So what made you finally ask me out?" I ask him.

"Kyle Trent," he says.

"Kyle Trent? Wasn't that the senior who I had a huge crush on?" I say.

Jace flinches but nods. "Yeah, he was going to send you a rose on Valentine's Day but I knew that if he did that then you would have a boyfriend again. I didn't want that to happen so I went over to him and told him I was dating you. Then I had no choice but to grow some balls and ask you out," Jace explains to me.

I don't say anything else and we finally arrive at our car. I don't say anything on the car ride either and when we get home and open the door I'm surprised to find the house a huge mess.

You can hear Hunter crying in the background. Pillows are thrown everywhere. The swear jar is broken on the floor. There's a spilt bottle on the floor then Hunter's favorite teddy is on the floor with its head ripped out.

Then Jon comes out of Hunter's room with Hunter in his arms crying his little lungs out.

Jon looks relieved when he sees us and hands Hunter to me. "Here, oh and also next time ask Izzy or mom to babysit," Jon says and then leaves.

I hand Hunter over to Jace who gets him to quiet down.

Jace tends to Hunter while I clean up the mess that Jon left.

After I'm done Hunter is sleeping so we put him in his crib and Jace and I go to our room.

After that things get pretty heated up and my nice clothes are on the floor.

After we're done I snuggle into his arms and whisper, "I'm glad you didn't let Kyle trent buy me a rose."

"Me too."
