Jace's POV

It was sort of humorous to watch Clary next to me in the cab, her leg was bouncing up and down and every few minutes she would run her hands through her hair. It was cute but at one point it was sad, I moved close to her and placed my hand over her two small ones. They were pale and cool, when I grasped her hands she looked up at me with large green eyes. "Jace what if they get mad at me for never telling them about you, Jace are YOU mad at me for not telling them about you'. Her ranting was amusing but I saw how scared she was.

"Clary im not nor could ever be mad at you, are you ashamed of me?" she looked taken back by my question. "No of course not Jace, im so proud of you, what you've done, not just when you were in the service".

I squeezed her hands once more, " then how could I ever be mad at you, come one we have about half an hour I should probably know something about the parents of the girl who saved my life".

~~O~~

When we arrived at Clary's house I got out of the cab and I really looked at the house. It was a deep chocolate, the house wasnt too big but no where near small. I grabbed both of our luggage from the trunk and smiled at Clary, she took her bag so we could hold hands.

I took a deep breath and we started heading to the door, luckily as we were a bit over half way up the drive the front door open. Soon it revealed a couple of complete opposites: her small, pale, but stubborn, him tall, rough around the edges but a soft look in his eyes. When Clary saw them she dropped her bag and ran to hug the woman who was very obviously her mother. As she moved on to hug who I guessed was her dad I grabbed her bag and finished the short journey up the drive way to meet them.

By the time I had set the bags on the porch Clary was next to me with a shy look on her face and I could see her parents looking me over. I tried to look confident but with them both looking down on me all I was able to do was grab on to Clary's hand in hope I dont freak out from nerves. I gave Clary's hand a quick squeeze and she spoke quietly.

"Mom, Luke, this is Jace he is my boyfriend and im very very sorry i haven't told you about him but he is also my patient well was but not anymore and please dont let anyone else know this because I could be fired but I love this job and I love Jace more no matter how cliche it is" she was ranting again which means she was nervous and I couldn't but chuckle which earned me a glare from Clary and her mom but a slight smile from who I assume is Luke.

"Ah, I'm sorry" I was a bit ashamed now "I'm Jace" I held out my hand "you must be Luke". He took my hand and smiled "welcome to our home" next i faced Clarys mom, "hello, you must be Clary's mom, I'm afraid she forgot to tell me your name".

She took my hand "yes, I'm Jocelyn, I'm very sorry if I seem cold it's just clary doesn't exactly bring home guys". I smiled "no it's fine, I expect this is a surprise, I am glad to meet you both though".

Luke patted my shoulder "nice you've got manners, we'll come on in luckily we have one guest bed, I assume you know you're not sharing a bed with Clary".

At this point Clary was bright red "Luke! I've lived with him for months he is perfectly respectable now youre seriously embarrassing me".

I was quite amused hearing these two, though once we reached the living room Jocelyn and Clary branched off to go see a new painting or something.

The gues bedroom was plain but comforting with a queen sized bed and a medium sized dresser, there was even a bathroom down the hall.

Luke stood at the doorway as I unzipped my suit case and started unpacking into the dresser. "So Jace, why come with Clary to visit us and not your family?". It was an honest question Luke asked but I found it difficult to answer. "In all honestly my family has some problems im not ready to be in the middle of, plus I had some family visit us in the apartment but never any of Clary's, I was curious to meet you".

He nodded and seemed to be approving of this answer. "Jace, I want you to know that Clary doesn't open up let alone give her heart to someone that often, now that she has she will sacrifice anything even her career for you so don't screw with her future". Luke had taken a protectiveness I hadn't expected.

"Don't worry sir, Clary has saving me from much but if I ever cause her harm not even I could live with myself, she is all I know since I became sane, she is all I need".

Clarys POV

I was so glad to be home. It was how it always was, from a glance it was fairly clean but looking there were paint brushes randomly scattered and coffee mugs on every table. It was home.

My mom told me we were going to go look at new pieces she has made yet I wasnt surprised when she pulled me aside in the kitchen. "Clarissa you need to explain all of this right now, he was your patient for gods sake!" This shouldnt have surprised me but the way she accused me was demoralizing.

"please calm down mom, trust me when I say nothing is going on, he is a perfect gentleman" she eyed me with a glare. "Mom i swear, and if you want Ill sleep at the opposite end of the house in my room". She crossed her arms, god no wonder Jace laughs when I get mad at him.

I sighed and walked on to where her art pieces are held just so we could move on to a different subject.

~~O~~

We were looking through some unfinished art pieced and discussing what else I plan on doing after visiting them. "Honestly mom I dont know, we are going to visit Jace's parents but then I dont know".

"what do you know about his family?". They were innocent questions but so accusing when my mom asked them. "ah well he has a sister one year younger than him and a brother who is eight or nine, his " I was quickly cut off.

"Max, max is my little brother he is eight but nine in two months". Jace and Luke walked into the room. My mom smiled "Hey boys", Luke walked over and kissed the top of her head. "maybe with Clary here to help around the house you can finally finish a couple of these" I smiled knowing that even if Luke hinted it would never happen.

Jace walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist "I see where Clary got her talent Mrs. Fray, these are amazing". She smiled "Thank you, though Luke is right i never seem to finish these before I get a new idea".I smiled, Clary and her are so obviously alike it funny to see how she became her. "May I ask what you two do for a living?'', Luke spoke up this time "Yeah I run a book store in town and when Jocelyn manages to finish paintings they sell at a fair price, weve both settled down with our dream careers".

Jocelyn lifted her head "Luke can you entertain them im going to go get some sort of lunch set up, we will go out for dinner to welcome Clary back home and meeting Jace".
