I wake up in Jace's arms. Ugh! It's already Saturday. That means after this long weekend, it's time to go back to school. I lay motionless in Jace's arms, so we can stay like this until Jace wakes up naturally. I quietly take deep breaths into Jace's shirt on his chest to take in his alluring scent.

"Love," Jace sleepily begins. "Are you sniffing me?" My cheeks heat with redness. I don't answer. "Love," Jace says in a playful tone. "I know you're awake." I stay still. "Oh, you asked for it." Asked for wh- Before I can even think the thought fully, Jace starts tickling my sides.

"Nnnnnnno," I squeal. "Stop it....it....t......tickles."

"Answer my question first?" Jace teases. "We're you sniffing me?"

Jace keeps tickling me and I almost pee. "J...Jace I'm gonna peeeeeeee," I manage between fits of laughter.

"Answer," Jace laughs.

"Fineeeee," I giggle. "I was sniffing you." Jace stops and I move my head to look away from him. What is he thinking right now? Who in there right mind smells someone else?

"Hey," Jace begins. He lifts my chin up gently. "Don't be embarrassed. I think it's cute."

What if I don't want you to think I'm cute? Ugh! I feel like your sister sometimes!

"Love, I can assure you I don't think of you as my sister," Jace responds with a deep voice. I...I said that out loud. Crap!

"I...I know," I sigh. "I...it's just that you don't act the way guys act around their....girlfriends," I mumble. I don't even know if we're dating. Ugh!

"I don't act like other guys act around their girlfriend's, because you're not a girlfriend to me," Jace begins. I'm not a girlfriend to him? What am I?

"What am I then?" I ask nervously.

"You're the woman I love," Jace whispers in my ear. "The woman I want to marry. The woman I promised myself to." I blush as he says these things. We sit up. "I don't see you and think of sex, like a boyfriend would a girlfriend. I see you and think of our future, your smile, your laugh."

"So you.....you're not attracted to me?" I confirm. I...it makes sense, I'm just me and he's....Jace.

"Of course I'm attracted to you," Jace responds quickly. "I just know there's more to you than attraction."

"Like?" I question. It may seem like I'm fishing, but I'm generally curious.

"You don't see it, do you?" Jace asks. I shake my head. Jace holds me tight in his arm. So tight, I can feel him breathe. We're laying down and my ear is next to his lips. Jace starts singing to me, but he changes the lyrics a bit. (Play song above)

Oh, your eyes, you eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'.

Your hair, your hair falls perfectly without you trying.

You're so beautiful, and I tell you everyday.

Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment you, you won't believe me.

And it's so, it's so sad to think that you don't see what I see.

But every time you ask me "Do I look okay?"

I say.......

When I see your face,
There's not a thing that I would change.

'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are.

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while.

'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are.

Yeah......

Your lips, your lips, I could kiss them all day if you'd let me
Your laugh, your laugh, you hate it but I think it's so sexy.

You're so beautiful, and I tell you everyday.

Oh you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change.

If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same.

So don't even bother asking if you look okay, you know I'll say.

When I see your face,
There's not a thing that I would change.

'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are.

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while.

'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are.

I have tears in my eyes when Jace finishes. "Jace, you really think of me like that?" I ask.

"Of course love. You're my everything and I'll never not need you." I can't help it, emotions take over. I crush my lips onto Jace's. My hands find his hair and he let's out a moan. I smile, knowing I have that effect on him. I straddle him. He flips us over, so he can he on top. I grab his shirt and get it off. My hands explore his chest while he kisses my neck sensually.

"Baby," Jace breathlessly whispers.

"Huh," I breathlessly manage. Jace gestures to my shirt. I smile and he pulls it off. Our lips reconnect and I let Jace's tongue slip into my mouth. I let out a muffled moan. Jace's hands move to my chest. No, don't freeze up. It's okay, it's just Jace. Let this happen. Jace stops. I must've stopped kissing him or something.

"What's wrong love," Jace asks concerned. "Don't say nothing. I can see it in your eyes."

"I'm sorry, but I wasn't prepared for you to touch me.....there," I honestly reply. I refuse to meet Jace's gaze. Jace pulls his shirt on and I mine.

"It's okay love," Jace assures me. "I'm sorry I got carried away. It's probably a good thing we stopped though. We really should go get Willow from Luke," Jace says.

"Willow is with who?" I ask concerned. Who is Luke and why is my baby with him? What if he hurts her?

"Love, it's okay. I can tell your worrying. Luke is my friend, the detective who saved your mom. He's trusted," Jace assures me.

"People, my own mom even, thought Jonathan was trustworthy too Jace. We need to get her back now," I reply.

"I trust Luke. He won't hurt her. She's probably with him and your mom. We were going to visit her anyways, so it'll be fine, just breathe," Jace tries to calm me down.

I breathe a few times and peck Jace on the lips. "How did I get so lucky?" I ask.

"I think I'm the lucky one love," Jace whispers in my ear. I blush a little.

"Come on let's go, I want to check on our baby," I smile. Our baby. She really is ours now. Jace's face lights up. "What?"

"You called her our baby," Jace squeals. I laugh. We head to Jace's van to see Willow, my mom and Luke.
