Chapter 3: Zelda (1,1K)

Jace's PoV

.~°~. .~°~. .~°~.

For a microsecond the three adults remained silent, glancing at one another with shock; but then, Clary slightly shook her head, making her red curls bounce around her and she sighed under her breath: "Life is funny sometimes." Then she snapped her head to her brother, completely ignoring Jace as she explained to Jon:

"Jensen said that he managed to have his afternoon off. So he's coming to pick her up for lunch. Which means that you better not play puppy eyes to your uncle so he can buy you junk food, young missy!" She added, pointing an accusing finger toward her daughter who pouted with disappointment.

"Don't worry, Zelda. I'll take you to Chipotle this weekend with Grams and Gramps, and Mom won't be able to say a thing about it." Jon promised, making the young girl gleefully giggle while Clary scowled at her brother.

"Anyway. Here's your bag, honey. Behave okay?"

"I will," The young girl solemnly promised, making both Clary and Jon gently smile before Clary walked to her brother and kissed her daughter goodbye. The little girl hugged her mother, though she stayed in her uncle's arms; and when they broke their embrace, Clary turned to Jace and said:

"By the way, I never got to thank you for Friday night. It was really ... amazing."

"Clary! We're just here!" Jon exclaimed, covering the ears of his niece as a shocked expression was plastered on his face.

Clary rolled her eyes at her brother and winked at Jace. "I should get going, or I'm going to be late. But ... here's for you," She said, giving Jace a business card with a luxurious sparkle gleaming in her eyes.

Then she left, telling her daughter that she would see her home the same night for dinner with the young girl's Dad.

When she was gone, Jon looked at Jace with a stare that was torn between killer and disgust; before he settled his niece on his desk and dug out of her bag a colouring book and crayons.

Then, Jon walked to Jace's desk and told him: "Let's just get some things clear. I'm going to pretend that nothing happened Friday night between you and my baby sister/mother of my adorable niece, and you're going to throw that number away and forget all about that Friday night as well."

"Wait a second! Why am I the one getting in trouble and your sister is the one having extra conjugal relations!" Jace retorted with the same low tone so the little girl wouldn't hear them. Jon seemed lost for a moment before he shook his head and said:

"Clary and Jensen aren't married."

"Didn't you say that you got them together?"

Jon nodded before he explained: "As long as I can remember, Clary said that she wanted to have children young. And ... Well to make it short, that lead to an abortion before Zelda. Clary was devastated, and Jensen was my best friend and pretty depressed as well at the time. I sort of planned a blind date for them together and they hit off even better than I ever expected. In the end, they dated, fell in love and five years ago, Jensen gave Clary the kid that she always wanted, just during her final year."

Jace downed the information, his golden eyes on the little girl who was focused on her colouring. And then something rang in his mind, making him snap his head back to Jon: "Still. Even if they're not married, I ended up as the other woman."

Jon shook his head. "They're not together anymore. It's been a year since the separation. Apparently, they realised that they were not that in love after all; and after a lot of chitchat about it, Jensen took a flat near Clary's. They're still very good friends. I even think that they're closer than Jensen and I have ever been. But they don't live together anymore.

What I think happened to you this weekend is that Jensen took Zelda for the weekend; and that they came back last minute like it often happens so they could spend time all three of them together. It's just that usually, both Clary and Jensen do their best to keep their 'friends' away from Zelda. You know, kids create bonds really quickly."

Jace nodded, his golden back on the little girl as he could see more and more of Clary in the young girl. It was more than her green eyes, the girl also had her mother's freckles, nose, curls and long lashes.

"So, your niece's name is really Zelda..." Jace said, not sure whether it was a question or an affirmation; and when Jon confirmed the little girl's name was the same one as the famous game, Jace smiled and said without thinking: "Peach, Zelda ... Your sister is cool."

"My sister will get back with Jensen," Jon uttered in a menacing tone. "She's the reason why he hasn't been in anything serious since they parted, and the same goes for her. They just needed a break because of the novelty of ..." Jon tilted his head toward his niece to finish his sentence, and Jace understood that Jon meant the novelty of parenthood.

But still, that didn't stop him from wanting to call back Clary. Now that everything was clear, he wanted to give an encore to that morning that they never actually had. And he figured that Clary must have been thinking the same thing, or she wouldn't have given him her number. So, after making sure that he memorised the number, he threw the card away under Jon's attentive eyes.
