they sat while I started to pace again. "Jace stop that infernal pacing and spit it out your giving me a head ache" Luke rubbed one of his temples while Jocelyn sat with her hands on her lap "jace is clary ok?" She looked me dead In the eye to see if I was lying "she's fine" I said then took a breath closing my eyes so she couldn't read them again "do you remember us telling you about the fairy knight in that old building last week?" They both nodded I swallowed "when the iratze healed her she asked why I had been distant, well more like demanded but-" Jocelyn butted in "jace does this story have a point?" Her hand still lay open on her lap "I told her why and now I have to tell you but before I do I want you to know I love your daughter with all my heart, I'd never hurt her" Jocelyn's hands clenched shut as did Luke's "jace what did you tell her?" Luke's voice was hard towards me and I braced myself "I- I asked clary to marry me" before they could say anything I continued " I planed on asking you's for permission before hand but she demanded answers and I could never lie to her" Luke stood up anger on his face, his claws out ready to slice my head off, I would take that, I loved her with all of my being and if dying is what had to happen I would welcome it for her "she's 19 jace still a child!" He started to growl "no she's not" Jocelyn said quietly, both me and Luke looked stunned, she stood up "Luke I knew it would happen eventually, I'm not happy about the age either but" she paused to look at my face which was a mix between shock and terror and I was pretty sure in the past week my emotional wall that keeled my feeling hidden had crumbled and shattered so I had no chance of hiding it, "jace I know that you love our daughter, I've seen you risk your life for her so many times i have lost count as I have with her, I know you would not hurt her intentionally but if you want to be able to keep playing piano you'll make sure she's happy" "and" Luke began "one tear on her pretty little face caused by you, you won't live long enough to apologise, got it!" His words made me flinch then I nodded and he smiled his hands going back to normal "I'll call clary and tell her to come home, jace you can go play with Mel" I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and texted clary when her parents were out of sight

'Clary I almost got my head ripped off you better love me'

'That bad?'

'No, sort of, not really, I don't know but Luke said he's calling you'

'How did mum react?'

' she defended me than said That if I hurt you say bye bye to piano'

'Really!? Wow, So Luke?'

'If you cry I'm dog meat!'

'Lol'

'No funny'

'Babe I love you'

'Love you more'

'Impossible'

'Mrs Clarissa Adele herondale'

'Still think it sounds ugly'

'Sacrifices sweet heart'

I walked in and placed de de on my lap telling her I was texting clary,

'Luke just called ill be there soon'

'De de wants to know if theres going to be chocolate or vanilla cake?"

The phone buzzed

'Tell her she can help me pick a flavour when we go hunting for one'

I looked down to de de who was on my lap watching me type, she was only just learning how to spell "sis said you can help later" she frowned and crossed her arms making me laugh "what do you want me to write?" She smiled again as if nothing had happened "tell her I want a purple dress" i sighed highly amused

'De de says she wants a purple dress, apparently she only wants to talk about the wedding, she's very excited' it almost instantly buzzed

'Shes not the only one, I'm out front get ready for the most awkward experience of your life babe, remember you love me'

'Your worth it'
