Short little one...Jamie's first date will be coming soon though so stay soon :]

I don't own Jace or Clary. I do own their kids.

Clary POV

The wound timer 'dinged' in the kitchen and I stood, straightening myself out. The hand stitched rug in the parlor was beautiful but killer on the butt and back...and I hate to admit it, but I'm not 16 anymore. I rubbed my lower spine as Jace looked up at me from the floor. "Where are you going?" He asked. His face was set into a mask of controlled frustration.

I grinned, twirling a piece of his blonde hair between my fingers. He was home early today, the diusl'in demon just outside of Alicante had apparently been an easy kill, so the twins wanted 'Daddy time', which he was all up for until he found out what they wanted to play. Makeovers.

My handsome, strong husband was now wearing glittery fushia eyeshadow that covered way more than his eyelids and very smeared red lipstick. Roxanne giggled as she slipped gaudy purple plastic rings on every one of her fingers and Elaine grabbed a brush, a bright cheery smile on her 4 year old face, and running it harshly through her father's hair.

"Ow, L! Not so hard. I don't have that much hair." He complained, reaching to take the brush but having it yanked out of his reach.

"No Daddy, mine." She giggled, her golden curls bouncing. She walked behind his back and continued her ministrations, out of Jace's immediate reach. He winced and ground his teeth together.

I smiled big at Jace's glare. "Daddy's baby girls you know."

I can honestly say I could never have pictured Jace letting any child, even his own, put make up and jewelry on him when I'd first met or even married him, but he seemed to be taking it pretty well. Ari had never been very frilly but Roxy and L loved any make up or shiney thing they could get their curious little hands on. "Magnus and Alec are going to be here soon, remember."

Jace raised an eyebrow, which made glitter fall on his dark gold lashes. "And you needed a timer for that why?"

I smiled. "I needed the timer so Arianne would remember to go down to the Accords Hall and meet them. Magnus said he was bringing Taki's for dinner."

Jace nodded, looking slightly happy at the sound of Taki's. "I see."

A loud thumping down the stairs alerted me to the fact that hopefully Ari heard the timer too. "Ari! Is that you?"

I faintly saw my son, not my daughter, streak down the stairs and through the door yelling, "No Mom! Be back soon! BYE!"

Jace looked up at me again, though it was hard to keep a serious face on while he had the makeover do. "What's that about?"

I shrugged. "Don't know."

Elaine suddenly giggled loudly, leaving the brush on the floor.

"Daddy! You looks so pretty...like Magnus!"

As I watched my husband hop off the floor and stomp into our bedroom I couldn't help but think that wasn't the look he was going for.

Hope you enjoyed that little idea...I know Jace didn't XD
