In the months after Luke and Jocelyn's wedding Clary began to build her relationship back up with Simon, while trying to still give him some space to find his place with Isabelle. The fact that he was ascending was both scary and exciting at the same time. Simon had been a part of this adventure in Clary's life since it began, but he had always been on the outside, now he was right in the center with her. Jace wasn't so happy that he had to give up some "Clary-time" to the not-so-blood-sucking previous bloodsucker, but it made Clary happy so he dealt with it.

Not only was Simon's ascension a big change, but after months of begging, pleading, compromising, and promising Jocelyn decided to let Clary move into the Institute to advance some of her training. Life seemingly was perfect to Clary, she had everything going her way and everything she could ever want… Until she started throwing up every day like clockwork.

Clary had just woken up and ate breakfast before she went to meet Jace for her training session when all of a sudden she ran to the bathroom to expel her breakfast for the third day in a row. Obviously, shadowhunters weren't impervious to getting sick, but it really wasn't beneficial to get sick right before she had to train. Clary chugged some water and hoped like hell that it would give her at least a little of the energy she needed for this session.

"You're late." Jace said as Clary walked into the room wiping off the water from her mouth.

"I know, sorry. I was getting sick again." She told him, ignoring his annoyed look.

"Again?" He said worriedly, "Maybe we should get you to a doctor.."

"You know as well as I do that we can't do that. Shadowhunters don't go to doctors. I'll call Magnus later. Let's just get through this session." Clary said, brushing off his worries.

Not needing to be told again, Jace got down to business and started coaching Clary on the best ways for her to use her particular skill sets to her advantage. Although, she never did anyways, he stressed the importance of her NEVER going anywhere without her stele. They worked for about an hour and a half before Jace sent her off to go get showered, fed and call Magnus. He was really worried about her, despite her claims that they were fine. He may be the 'badass' but when it came to Clary he was slightly over-protective.

Only to prove to Jace that she was fine and that she wasn't as fragile as she seemed she called Magnus first and asked if he would mind coming over to look her over. He agreed to come over before meeting Alec for their weekly date night, but Clary still had a few hours before he got there so she decided to take a shower and see what Simon was up to. When he didn't answer his phone, she assumed that he was with Isabelle, so she went to find Jace. They needed a little time to be together anyways, they hadn't really had much time alone since their trip to the demon realms and that was MONTHS ago. They squeezed in an hour or so together when they could, which led to many pleasurable and fun-filled moments, but they were few and in between.

Clary found Jace in his room, cleaning the already meticulous space. "Hey" she said peeking around the door.

"Hey yourself." He said smiling as he walked over to her.

"Do you want to watch a movie while I wait for Magnus?" She asked him. Clary had made it her personal mission to educate all of the Lightwoods on the art and wonder of cinema.

"I suppose that I will if I have to." He conceded with a smile. He didn't love sitting around watching movies, but he welcomed the time with his girl.

Clary put in a random movie, since it wasn't likely that they were actually going to watch the movie anyways. She was right. No sooner than Clary had pressed play Jace was climbing to lay on top of her on the couch kissing her as if he hadn't seen her in months rather than an hour. It wasn't like she was complaining though, Clary loved kissing Jace. Their kisses started off sweetly but began to deepen quickly. Jace clearly missed their time alone as much as Clary did. Just as things were really heating up and were heading in the direction that Clary had been craving Alec knocked on the door to Jace's room.

"Uh, guys?" He said sheepishly as a blush creeped into his cheeks. He may have been well over his crush on Jace, but the awkwardness of catching your old crush and parabati in bed with his girlfriend was overwhelming and it seemed to always happen to Alec.

"Yeah?" Jace said, without stopping his trail of kisses down Clary's throat.

"Uh, Magnus is here to see Clary. Soooo, yea. We're in the hall."

"Cock-blocker." Jace called after him.

Clary chuckled as she got up and straightened her clothes to go meet Magnus. For some reason she felt the need to go to this appointment alone and process whatever Magnus found was wrong with her without Jace being overly worried. Clary knew that nothing major was wrong with her that could possibly threaten her life, but she also knew that Jace would worry if Magnus said she had the flu. When Jace got up to walk with her, she gently shook her head at him, causing a perplexed look to cross his face.

"I'll be fine," she said "Plus, it'll only be like twenty minutes and then I'll be yours again."

"Fine." He sighed resigning not to fight her on this.

Clary kissed his cheek and went out to meet Magnus in the hall by her bedroom. Thankfully when Alec saw that Jace wasn't with her, he assumed that Clary wanted to maintain some privacy in her appointment. It's not like Magnus wouldn't tell him later if something was seriously wrong with Clary, even the warlock knew that Clary would try to hide something from the others if she felt it would worry them or cause them stress. That's just the kind of person that she was.

Clary and Magnus headed into her room and shut the door behind them so that Clary could talk to him without everyone overhearing. "So what's wrong biscuit?" he asked.

"I've just been really sick the last few days anytime I eat and Jace was starting to get worried." Clary explained.

"Well, let me see what I feel." Magnus said. Instantly his fingers and arms started to light up blue as he ran them over Clary's perfectly still body. After a few minutes he stopped with a rather perplexed look on his face. Clary thought to herself that he must feel either something was very confusing, or he was trying to figure out how to make something sound okay.

"Um, biscuit," he started, as he blushed. "Have you and Jace, uh, ya know?"

" Well, not that it's any of your business, but yes. We have. And, don't try and trick me into thinking that he gave—" she started as he cut her off.

"He didn't give you anything sweetie. Well, not exactly. But, Clary dear, you're pregnant." He explained rather awkwardly.
