Jace is notΒ Malecβs first choice when it comes to babysitting. Itβs Clary, Simon, Isabelle and then Jace. But Jace is actually Max and Rafeβs favourite babysitter. (Clary, my darling, no offense, butβ¦FROM THE MOUTH OF BABES, SUCKERS!!)
Jace loves to babysit with Clary. She acts as the buffer for all his crazy plans. But there was one time when she allowed Jace to make a spaghetti bath for Max. Magnus was not pleased to find spaghetti in Maxβs Β horns that night.Β
He is really good at putting the kids to sleep. They always go to sleep without fussing when Jace is there. (The key is to talk to them about weapons. They eventually get bored and justΒ fall as-EXCUSE ME BUT HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING TO MY KIDS ABOUT SWORDS? Of course not!! Do you thinkΒ I am insane?Β I obviously started with daggers. Next week, we will cover cros-JACE!!)
He is not so good at telling them stories. (JONATHAN CHRISTOPHER WHAT IN ANGELβS NAME DID YOU TELL MY CHILDRENΒ ABOUT A FALCON????)
Max and Rafe love it when Jace reads them stories from their mundane story books. Especially becauseΒ βhe does all the voicesβ.
Jace carved a small toy soldier, just like he had done for his brother, for Blueberry. He bought Rafe a small bow and arrow set to play with. They love playing with these toys.Β
He likes to tell the kids embarrassing stories about their dad. But Max and Rafe just find it adorable.Β
He is incredibly protective of them. He doesnβt let anyone hurt them. (WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS? DOES SHE KNOW WHO HIS UNCLE IS? SHE NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON!!β¦Jace, calm down. She is just four. And she only pushed Max down. Little kids are like tha-SHE IS NOT A LITTLE KID, ALEC. SHE IS A LITTLE DEMON! YOU WILL SEE!!)
Max and Rafe still have no idea that Jaceβs actually name is Jonathan Christopher.Β
Rafe loves wearing Jaceβs leather jackets. So, of course Jace got them matching black leather jackets.Β
Jace cried the first time Max called himΒ βUncle Jaceβ.Β
He has safely kept every single drawing Rafe had made for him. He even put some up on the institute refrigerator.Β
They like to bake together too. Jace can make excellent cookies (He learned how to make them for Kit) Jace is a little worried to leave the poor little things at a Lightwoodβs mercy. (We are not that bad, you k..Oh, really, Alec? Izzy! Alec wants you to cook for his k-DO YOU WANT MY CHILDREN TO DIE???)
They love putting Bapakβs makeup on uncle Jace. He says he doesnβt need it, but he indulges them anyway. Coincidentally, Magnusβ cocoa butter chapsticks went missing after that.Β
Jace usually never sings for anyone but Max and Rafe (and Clary of course). They love watching him play the piano. Sometimes Bapak sings with them too.Β
Jace like to take them out on walks too. They want to Central Park. Once. It didnβt go well. (I WILL SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT WHEN MY NEPHEWS ARE OLD ENOUGH TO SHOOT FIREBALLS AND ARROWS AT YOU!! BLOOD THIRSTY BEASTS!!!)
