I'm so excited to get some chapters up yet so sad that this story will be ending soon. Either way everyone enjoy.

Clary's POV

It was practically impossible to sleep, I was so nervous. Tomorrow morning Jace and I would be heading out to his family's house. We'd stay there for two weeks before I had to leave. They cut the amount of time I got on break from 4 to 1 month and one week of it I had to prepare the apartment for my next patient.

Laying in bed I started thinking of tonight, the dinner and how perfect it was. Mom had created an outstanding and delicious feast. I had tried to tell her it was too much but Jace shushed me and said he would eat half of it.

I held Jace's hand under the table the whole dinner, his thumb softly running over my knuckles. Even when he was talking with Luke he never stopped. Though when my mom gave me a look and a smile I knew she knew and I blushed, Jace just smiled and kept eating.

I knew they accepted Jace though neither of them would ever say.

Jace's POV

It was 1:00 and I still wasn't asleep. I was nervous and excited for tomorrow. I'll get to see Max tomorrow. He would be so excited and most likely force us to watch movies all night but I can't wait. Maryse will probably make some huge dinner like Jocelyn did and maybe Robert will show up. I know Izzy is still there and she will take like a thousand pictures of us together but I know she is just happy.

Then there is Clary, she will be amazed by our house and I can't wait to show her the green house and the library. I hope Max understands when she is with me and I hope Izzy doesn't drag her away every moment. If Robert is there I hope he is respectful and him and Maryse get along.

There are so many hopes I'm hoping for but honestly all I want is Clary to be happy she came home with me.

~~O~~

My familys house is around two hours away from Clary's, with our luggage in back there was plenty of room for a tired Clary to lay her head on my shoulder and curl her feet into the seat. I smiled and laid my head on hers, I felt her wrap her arms around my neck. She looked up and me, sleep clouding her eyes "I can't wait Jace, I can't wait to see where you grew up and hear all the stories about you".

I smiled and kissed her head "Well maybe not all, now go to sleep, I'll wake you when there is 15 min left". I wrapped an arm around her and when she had her eyes closed I snuck a selfie of us. Quickly changing it to my background before putting in some headphones and admiring the view inside and out of the cab.

~~O~~

When I woke Clary up her hair was slightly messed up and little wisps were in her face. I carefully moved them from her face to behind her ears and kissed her forehead. "Hey, almost there., I let you sleep later we will be there in 5 min. How'd you sleep?".

She closer her eyes and laid her head on my shoulder "I always sleep great next to you. Scoffing I took her hand "You are so cheesy".

She opened her eyes and smiled "sorry but it's true, I've never slept better than with you". I rolled my eyes "Goodness if I didnt know any better I'd think you wanted to really sleep with me".

With that comment Clary blushed a brilliant brief red and her eyes widened. I always loved when she blushed, the way her eyes widened and her nose crinkled, she was so cute.

"Ah here we go, this is our neighborhood".

I knew that she would look at me with wide eyes when she saw my house, I have alluded to my family having money but I have never bragged. I had matured from highschool for sure.

When we pulled up to the gate of my family's house I paid the ca driver for such a long trip and I took Clarys hand. As I stepped out of the car I shielded her veiw of our house for a moment before stepping around back to grab our luggage.

Once our luggage was out I hit the trunk a couple times to tell the driver we are done. Clary walked over to grap her luggage but I had already swiped it up in my hand. "Come one, as soon as Izzy sees you she will drag you away. I'll take your bag up to the room across from mine."

I could tell she was nervous by the look on her face "Jace this place is amazing, it's better than any of the others, how old is it?.

"No clue, now let's go". We started walking up the drive, with Clary slightly behind me. I never thought she could be nervous or scared, she was always the one to lead. It made me smile slight thinking something so simple could make her nervous.

Clary had saw my smile "what are you smirking about?".

"I never thought you could get nervous, let alone over something so small".

Even though she scowled at me I saw a slight blush on her face "shut up you're my first long time boyfriend".

We reached the door and right before I rang the doorbell I leaned to her and whispered " I'll be another first too". I laughed as she blushed even deeper and decided now was a good time to ring the doorbell.

~~O~~

When the door opened I was surprised, there was no Izzy stealing away Clary or even Max jumping up on me. Don't get me wrong I was so happy when Maryse opened the door I Just expected something else.

I grabbed our bags as Maryse and Clary exchanged greetings.

"Oh Jace you can leave the luggage just inside the door, you can get them soon, just follow me".

Thinking I knew what was going on I smiled and grabbed Clarys hand. Lacing my fingers with hers I followed Maryse in the direction of the living room.

My suspicions were confirmed when we walked in and Maryse turned the lights on. With lights illuminating the room I was able to see there was a small party set up.

Almost instantly Max ran up to me and hugged me, welcoming me home. I picked him up and looked around the room. There was nine people total in the room, including me.

There was the obvious, Izzy, Max, Maryse, Clary, and I. But then we had some guests, Robert decided to come, surprisingly Magnus was there. Then there was my old football buddy Jordan and his obviously long time girlfriend Maia.

Nobody yelled an cheered but they were all talking at once welcoming me home and asking about Clary. This would be a long day.

~~O~~

The welcoming party had lasted 6 hours and included a dinner for everyone but Magnus who had to leave 4 hours into the party.

After Jordan and Maia left Robert decided to stay and catch up with the family. Clary and I had finally been able to sit down together and test when Max came over too us.

"Jace now that you're home can we play some video games like you promised?" I smiled "Im sorry bud, Im so tired from the party. How about you choose a movie for us to watch and I will play when I'm all rested so you actually have some competition".

I could tell from his face he was thinking for a moment but then he smiled "Awesome! I just got a new movie we can watch!". Both of us made our way to th couch and sat down, Clary leaning on me with a blanket pulled around her shoulders.

When Max came back he had dragged Izzy, Robert, and Maryse to come watch the movie. Maryse and Robert sat in separate recliners and a smiling Izzy sat next to Clary.

The movie turned out to be Big Hero 6 and Max sat next to me talking the entire time. It was amusing and I had missed him.

~~O~~

By the end of the movie Robert unceremoniously left and Max had fallen asleep on my shoulder.

I decided I would carry Max to his room while Izzy showed Clary where hers was. Mac had obviously gotten bigger since I had last carried him but it was still easy when I had to hold him in one arm in order open his bedroom door with the other.

Wheb I walked into his room I smiled, there were posters from all kinds of movies and he had Captain America bed sheets, the average room for a boy his age. I carefully set him in his messy bed and pulled up the sheets around him, not once did he stir from sleep. Quietly I kissed his forehead and left him so soundly sleep.

I walked down the hall to the direction of my room but passed that familiar door to go to the one right next to it. Slowly opening the door I walked in, the light was still on and Clary had been unpacking when I opened the door.

When she saw me she smiled "Hey, what are you doing in here?". I walked over to her and put my arms around her waist "Just missed you and thought I should wish you a good night". She was wearing black yoga pants and a navy blue tank top that would make me go crazy.

"Well as you saw, I was unpacking before I went to bed". Running my hands up and down her arms I smiled at a thought "Why don't you finish that tomorrow and sleep with me tonight?".

Her emerald eyes sparkled "I suppose so, but what about your family?" Her nerves were so cute "Don't worry, we won't be doing anything to kinky". She blushed adorably and pressed her forehead to my chest "you are such a child".

I rested my chin in the top of her head. "So? Will you join me?"

"If I must, lead the way".

I kissed her cheek and lead her by the hand to my room.

When we got in my room she went and laid down on my bed "I'll be one moment Clary, im going to go change into shorts".

Digging through my one suit case I pulled out my only pair of shorts, slipping off my jeans I pulled them on. I walked to my bed side and turned on my lamp so I could see after turning the lights off.

Now with just my small lamp as light and Clarys eyes on me I was slightly shy to pull off my shirt for bed. But I soon did and when I wrapped my arms around Clary I fell into a peaceful sleep next to the most beautiful and strong girl I had ever met.
