I don't like being Penetrated

Magnus set his Mary Poppins suitcase by the door, took off his tophat and bent over to kiss James on the forehead. "Goodbye my beloved son. May only good tidings and good fortune find you in the coming days."

Alec dropped his backpack on the ground beside the ornate suitcase and crossed his arms. "What are you doing? Why are you dressed like that?"

Magnus sighed dramatically. "This could be the last time I ever see my son. This could be the last time he ever sees me! Do you want me to look underdressed for his final memories?"

Alec pulled Magnus away from Jace and Clary and whispered, "cut it out! They're going to think something's up!"

"They'll think something is up if I don't do something like this!"

Alec gave a small nod. "Touché."

Magnus turned back to Clary and James. "Oh my poor son, soon to be left alone with two young lovers and his fathers nowhere in sight! What will we ever do!"

"Young lovers?" Clary demanded.

"When will you two be back?" Jace asked, clearly ignoring the young lovers comment.

Magnus shrugged. "Could be a day. Could be a week. Could be ten years. Only time will tell."

"Do you… not have your return ticket booked yet?" Jace asked.

"Where are you two even going?" Clary adjusted James on her hip.

Jace nodded. "Yeah, we haven't seen your printed trip itinerary, Alec. This is very unlike you."

Alec picked up his backpack and Magnus' suitcase and cleared his throat. "I am chill now, Jace. I smoked a whole mara wana and now I am relaxed and do not feel the need to print out large, detailed travel schedules. We will return from our trip when we see fit. Good day." Alec turned and left, slamming the door behind him.

Magnus awkwardly opened the door again and slid out after him.

"Well that was weird," Jace mumbled.

Clary turned towards Jace and hoisted James higher onto her hip. "Jace, we need to talk."

Jace turned away from her and started walking towards the kitchen. Clary followed.

"About what?"

Clary sighed. "About the baby."

Jace stopped in his tracks and whipped around to face Clary. At first she thought he was upset with her, but then he just clamped his hands over James' ears and said in a loud whisper, "Ssssssshhhhhh! He can hear you!"

Clary rolled her eyes. "Not this baby. You know what I mean."

Jace just shook his head. "Do I?"

As if on queue, James' face scrunched up and he let out a few short, choked sobs, then opened his little mouth and started wailing.

Jace pouted and scooped the baby away from Clary. "Aww, poor baby. Was the big ginger lady mean to you?" He lifted James by the armpits and stuck his face in the baby's bum to sniff his diaper. He pulled away and almost puked. "Damn, this kid is one foul shitter."

Jace turned around and walked past Clary up towards the nursery to change his diaper. Clary didn't mind. One less diaper for her to change. She sighed and walked into the living room and plopped onto the couch, cracking open a book Alec had left on the coffee table about colour palettes.

Across the street, a taxi pulled into the large stone house with the white door and the wooden deck. Magnus and Alec got out of the taxi and walked towards the front door.

"Was the taxi really necessary?" Alec asked, taking the key to his neighbor's house out of his pocket and unlocking the door.

"It had to be believable," Magnus wined, waving as the taxi pulled out of the driveway.

"It was nice of the Swanson's to let us stay here while they're in Norway." Alec opened the door.

"Yes yes, so very kind, now hurry up and get inside before Jace or Clary look out the window and see us."

Alec rolled his eyes and pushed the door open. Together they walked inside and sat down on the couch in the living room as Alec rigged the camera feed from their house to the living room tv.

Alec pulled up a split screen onto the tv. On the left was Clary, sitting in the living room and reading Alec's copy of Fifty Shades of Grey. On the right was the nursery. Jace was changing James' diaper.

"They're not even having sex yet!?" Magnus demanded, throwing his hands in the air. "What are they waiting for?"

"Maybe for them to talk about the fact that Jace just found out that Clary had his baby, then gave it up for adoption."

"Oh my god, that is such old news, he found out like yesterday! Besides, it's not like their baby is gone! He's wiping his son's ass as we speak!"

"Well he doesn't know that!"

"That's why I wanted to tell him."

Alec shook his head. "It's not your place."

"I know," Magnus sighed. "I just wish Clary would hurry up already."

On the tv, Jace picked up James and left the nursery. The camera followed him as he went downstairs, walked past Clary and went to the kitchen. Clary got up and followed him.

"We need to talk about this, Jace," Clary followed him into the kitchen. "We can't just pretend nothing happened."

"You're right," Jace agreed. "We need to talk about what to have for dinner."

Clary sighed. "That's not what I meant."

"I was thinking whole pig, but I don't know how to make it, so I guess not."

Clary's eyes got very big very fast. "But… I know how to make it….."

Jace smiled, laying James down on the counter and smiling down at him. "Hear that James? Clary is gonna make us some whole pig!" He held James by the ankles and made the baby kick his feet in excitement. James giggled.

Clary couldn't help but admire the way Jace played with James. She knew he would have made a good father. She thought the idea would have made her sad, like any thoughts of her baby usually did, but instead it made her hopeful. And also kinda horny.

Clary tried not to stare too much at Jace and James playing in the corner as Clary made dinner. She tried not to make her bedroom eyes too obvious as she watched Jace show James how to fit certain shapes into certain holes, and she thought about something else that Jace could put into a certain hole. She knew they still had to talk about what had happened the day before, but she thought that maybe after they talked about it they wouldn't have to worry about what happened next.

Clary spent longer than usual rocking James to get him to sleep. She was thinking about what she needed to say to Jace, but she was also debating whether she really wanted to sleep with him or if she was just having some kind of horny baby fever.

Once she was sure James was asleep, she laid him down in his bed and turned towards the door. She was startled to see that Jace was already there, leaning against the door frame.

"Hey," she said, approaching him tentatively.

"Hey," he said back, not meeting her eyes.

"We need to talk about what happened yesterday." She waited for him to interrupt again, to change the subject or make a joke, but he didn't. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I didn't know how to bring it up. And I knew you'd be upset, and I didn't know how to say it or what to do when I did. But I'm sorry. I wish things didn't go the way they did, especially now that I know you so well, and I see that you would have been such an amazing fath—"

Jace leaned forward and pulled Clary towards him. He kissed her once, to shut her up. Then he kissed her again because he had wanted to since she'd first moved in. Then he kept kissing her, and she kept kissing him, and they stumbled back out of the room and down the hall until they finally fell into Jace's bed.

The tv's view switched from the nursery to Jace's bedroom, and Magnus and Alec watched as Jace started to undo the buttons on Clary's shirt and they fell into bed together.

Alec cleared his throat and reached for the remote to turn it off.

Magnus slapped his hand away. "Alexander, please. We've earned this." Magnus reached under the couch and brought out a bottle of champagne and two glasses. He snatched the remote from Alec and turned the volume up.

A is finally done school, which means that this quarantine may actually make us write and update more... who knows. Anything is possible.

remember to stay safe and stay inside.
