The Notebook
A Clary and Jace one-shot
Three years after CoG
Clary's P.O.V
Come on, come on, Clary thought impatiently from the front window of the Institute. Jace, Isabelle, and Alec were out slaying demons in a huge storm and Clary was stuck at the Institute; worrying about them.
Jace and Clary were engaged, and the only reason Clary was left behind was because she was three months pregnant. Clary had become one of the best shadow hunters ever known and, with Jace, they were unbeatable. Simon and Isabelle were an on-again-off-again couple, and Magnus and Alec were married. Luke and Mom were on their honeymoon for the month in Paris.
I hated not being there, with Jace. Not knowing if he was okay, or alive…
I sighed in relief. Jace and Alec were laughing at Isabelle, who was dancing in the pouring rain, her golden whip training behind her. She squealed as thunder boomed. I was so glad that the Institute had big windows, so I could look for them as I waited.
I ran outside to greet them- mainly Jace, though.
"Jace!" I cried, throwing myself into his open arms, not caring how wet I got.
"Clary!" He cried, mimicking me. But he kissed the top of my head to reassure me he was kidding. I looked into his eyes and we both leaned in-
"Oh, get a room." Isabelle said. Alec just blushed and looked down at his feet.
"Maybe we will." Jace replied, and Alec smiled now.
"I'm gonna go find Magnus. I called him and told him to meet us here." Alec said, just as a flash of blue light erupted and Magnus appeared right next to his husband. He frowned.
"This is going to wash all my glitter off." Magnus said. "Alec, love, let's go inside."
"Yeah, I think I'd better go in, too." Isabelle added, and, with a quick wink at me, Isabelle, Magnus, and Alec headed into the Institute.
I looked into Jace's eyes again and kissed him. When he finally pulled back, I laughed.
"What? Did I do something wrong?" He asked worriedly.
"No, no. I laughed because this is so much like the Notebook." Jace looked confused.
"What notebook?" I sighed.
"It's a movie, Jace."
"Really?" Now he looked even more confused. "Why would you make a movie about a notebook?"
"You've never heard of it?" I asked in disbelief. "It's the best movie ever. You have to see it. I think I have it somewhere…"
I led Jace into the Institute and into our room. I moved into the Institute almost right after the Great Battle. I had my separate room until Jace proposed, and then I moved in with him. Mom and Luke missed me so much that they moved in, too.
I dug around in my closet until I found what I was looking for: the D.V.D of the Notebook.
I ran down to the living room with Jace following behind me, put the D.V.D in, turned the T.V. on, and plopped onto the couch where Jace was waiting.
He wrapped me in his arms as the movie started. Jace watched it intently, as if he was trying to figure out a puzzle. That is, until the rain kissing scene started.
"Ah. So this is the famous part."
"Shh…" I said elbowing him in the ribs. A few moments later, he said,
"Well, apparently, we didn't quite finish our 'Notebook' moment." He kissed me. It was a passionate kiss- slow and intense, but building.
"Movie, shmovie." I finally mumbled as Jace lifted me into his arms and off the couch into our room.
