AN: btw, polygamy IS illegal, I am not suggesting it for anyone real life! It's just for the story

CHAPTER 12

***CLARY***(Clary is two and a half months along)

They had decided they would wait to get married untill after the baby was born, but that didn't stop Clary and Magnus from getting almost every magazine and book on weddings in Broocklyn. They scanned and planned down to the last detail, Alec perfectly content to let them cover planing everything.

He usually had a parenting or baby book in his hands anyways. Alec was bound and determind to be the best father he could be, and Clary found it beyond cute.

Magnus and Clary were currently sitting on the couch surrounded by magazines while Alec was practicing cooking. He came into the living room, "Dinner time! Pasta and meatballs, with garlic bread. Be completly honest when you tell me how I did!"

Clary nodded and sat down across from Alec with Magnus between them. Alec watched eagerly as Magnus and Clary took their first bites. Clary was extremly grateful that Alec and his sister, Isabelle didn't cook the same. He wasn't half bad, but the garlic bread was a bit burned. Overall, it was a great dinner and they dug in. About halfway though, Magnus spoke up, "Do you guys think we should get an actual house? I mean, this apartment is great, but for a family of five, it's pretty f-... small", Alec and Magnus had both made a consious effort not to curse around the baby.

"That sounds like a good idea. A good size house, in a good neighborhood. Next to a school", Clary said.

"We need to get actual jobs too", Alec told Magnus, "Not the low-paying crap jobs we have right now"

"Your right", Magnus clapped his hands together, "New mission! House hunting and job hunting!"

"I guess I'll just be the stay-at-home mom then", Clary said with a smile, "No need to pay for a babysitter with two incomes coming in"

Just then, the buzzer buzzed, "I'll get it", Magnus offered.

A few minutes later the front door opened and someone Clary hadn't seen in two years walked in, "JONATHAN!", Clary squealed, tackling her brother in a hug. He laughed and hugged her carefully.

After a few minutes of hugging, he pulled back, "And just why didn't you tell me immediantly you were pregnant?", he accused.

"I thought you were on a mission, you know, being in the army and all", Clary explained.

Jonathan frowned, "Good point. In fact, I just got back, so I decided to surprise you"

Clary took a moment to look at her big brother. He looked differant from when he had visited for Christmas, two years ago. He was covered in muscles that she could feel through his shirt and his ivory hair was buzz-cut. He had just a little stubble on his chin and new scars on the skin that was visible, at least. There was something in his eyes that spoke of maturity beond his 24 years. He had joined the U.S. army right out of highschool and Clary had almost cried. Their father was beyond proud of him, however.

"Well we just sat down for dinner. Join us?"

"Don't mind if I do. Who cooked?"

"Alec. He's practicing being a dad"

Jonathan sat in the vacant chair, next to Clary and Alec. After he had gotten his plate and settled down, he asked, "How is the baby? Healthy?"

"Their fine"

He raised an eyebrow, "Twins!", Magnus said.

"Congradulations!"

***TIME SKIP***

They talked and caught up for almost two hours, "You need to meet my buddy, Simon. He's major nerd and has family in Broocklyn"

"Cool. How's the army been?"

He shrugged, "I havn't died yet, so great"

Clary rolled her eyes, "Meet anyone yet?", she asked with a suggestive tone. He shook his head,

"No, and I'm fine with that. I'm not going to settle down for a while, if ever. Who knows, maybe I'll be a great military leader someday"

"I wouldn't doubt it"

"Oh, and look! I got a new scar!", he said. Jonathan always regarded his battle scars as honours and often would name a fallen comrad to remember each time he saw it.

He turned his head to the side and to her horror, a good chunk of his left ear was missing. Clary, Alec and Magnus must have missed it, to caught up in seeing him again.

"What on earth happened!?", she demaded.

"I got shot. Most of the people who saw it insisted it was a miracle it didn't hit me fatally"

"Who...?"

"Sebastian Verlace. He wasn't so lucky that battle", he said sadly. They all fell silent for a moment to honour Jon's freind.

After a few moments, Jonathan stood up, "Well, Mom will kill me if she doesn't see me soon"

"How long are you in town?"

"A week. We'll probably have a family lunch or something to that effect soon"

Clary hugged him one last time and he shook Alec and Magnus's hands, then leaving.

AN: So many questions! How aboout you guys answer them? Babys; names, genders and who should each act like/look like? Also, what jobs should Alec and Magnus take?
