Clary was at home playing with her 3 year old son Max. They were playing a game of shadowhunter. Max was the hunter and Clary had to make shadow puppets on the wall for him to catch.
Clary thoughts was very funny when she found Max chasing his shadow telling her he is a shadowhunter like daddy.
"Mommy when is daddy coming home?" Max stopped chasing the shadows and looked at Clary with his bright green eyes with gold flecks.
"He'll be home soon buddy. Do you want to help me with supper?" Clary picked up Max and carried him to the light switch and let him turn it on.
"Can we make tatos?" Max asked.
"Yes we can make tatos and carrots and pork chops."
"But I don't yike carrots mommy." Max made a sad face.
"But I like carrots Max." Clary turned around to see Jace behind her leaning against the wall. His golden hair was wet around his face. Clary noticed that his shirt was ripped.
"Maybe we will make daddy new shirts for supper." Clary said to Max.
"But that would be yucky." Max made a face at her.
"Maybe I won't wear a shirt next time I go hunting." Jace said to Clary. "It would save on shirts."
Max ripped off his shirt.
"Look I'm daddy." Max got down from Clary and started punching Jaces legs.
"Oh no the second best shadowhunter has gotten me." Jace said as he fell to the ground.
"No I'm the best daddy." Max jumped on Jaces chest and hugged him.
"No your hair is too red and you're not big enough." Jace said as he rubbed his hand in Maxs red-blonde hair.
"Oh Max daddy is just being mean you are my favourite shadowhunter." Clary leand down and picked up Max.
"I thought I was your favourite." Jace looked at Clary with a sad puppy dog face. He stood up and kissed her.
"Max is still my favourite." Clary told as she walked out of the room.
"Ya daddy I'm mommys favourite." Max said as he stuck out his tongue at Jace.
"That's it kid." Jace ran over to Clary and took Max and started tickling him. Maxs face turned red.
"I have an idea why don't we go out? We could go to Maxs favourite place." Jace suggested to Clary.
"I can call and see." Clary took out her phone. "Why doesn't Max call?" Max smiled as Clary handed Max the phone.
"It's winging mommy."
"Hello?" Isabelle said Into the phone.
"Heyo isabrelle."
"Hey kiddo what's up?"
"I want to eat food with you and Imon."
"What kind of food?"
"Umm petza!"
"Ok let me talk to mom or dad please."
"Ok Isabrelle." Max handed the phone to Clary.
"Hey Izzy."
"Ok just because you don't want to cook doesn't mean you can make your adorable son make me feed you."
"This wasn't my idea. I had supper planed this was all Jace."
"Let me talk to him."
"So Izzy."
"Don't so Izzy me. How do you know I don't have plans for supper or already had supper?"
"I don't but-" Isabelle cut Jace off. He walked into another room so he could talk to her more privately.
"Jace you can't spring this on me last moment."
"Izzy I need you to watch Max tonight."
"Why?"
"Today is the day I almost killed Clary. I want to do something nice for her."
"Ok but don't you think so wants to forget?"
"She hasn't, she cringes every time I touch her on this day."
"Oh I will watch him but he will be hyped on candy when you get him back."
"That's fine just don't make him sick."
"I will try."
"Thanks Izzy I owe you."
"Ya ya just bring pizza."
"I will bye Izzy."
"Bye Jace."
Jace walked back into the room after he hung up the phone with Isabelle.
"Max guess where we are going tonight."
"Isabrelles and Imons!" Max screamed with joy.
"Yep let's ready to go. You need a shirt on and I need to change mine." Max ran out of the room. Jace stopped Clary as she was about to walk out. He pulled her close and kissed her forehead. She jumped. He hugged he tight she was tense.
"Clary I love you and won't hurt you I swear on the angles."
"I love you too. I have to go see what's Max is doing he is too quiet."
Clary broke away from Jace leaving him alone in Maxs room. He grabbed Maxs backpack and filled it with clothing and toys. He walked out to find Clary and Max. Max ran and wrapped himself around Jaces leg.
"I'm so fast you didn't see me daddy." Max said as he squeezed Jaces leg.
"I certainly didn't see you. Let's go get you're shoes and coat on."
Jace leaned down to pick up Max when he saw his eyes were black.
"What's wrong daddy?" Max asked as Jace stepped back.
"Where's mommy Max?" Jace started backing away from Max.
"In her room." Max ran past him in the direction of their room. Jace walked in Clary was sitting on the bed.
"Jace I think there's something wrong with Max." She looked up at Jace who looked terrified.
"His eyes. Did you?" Jace trailed off.
"Sleep with Sebastian? Of course not. Jace I don't know what's happening." Clary looked at Jace. She looked like she was going to cry.
"Clary are you sure?" Jace saw the furry in her eyes.
"You think I would cheat on you? With my brother?"
"Clary he's the only one-"
"That doesn't mean I slept with him." Clary cut him off.
"Should we take him to the Silent Brothers?" Jace was trying not to upset her.
"I will take him."
"No I'm going too."
"We need to call Izzy."
"I will call her. You go get Max." Jace pulled out his phone and dialed.
"Hello?"
"Izzy-"
"Let me guess you are bailing."
"Yes because something happened to Max." He choked when he said it.
"What's wrong?"
"I-I'm not sure."
"Should I get Magnus?"
"No we are going to the Silent Brothers."
"Can I help Jace?"
"Just stay calm and don't tell Alec."
"Jace tell me what happens when you know."
"I will" Jace hung up the phone. He turned around to see Max with blood on his hands and his eyes black.
"M-Max what's on your h-hands?" Jace leaned down to him.
"Clarys blood." Max replied with a little grin. His voice didn't sound like his it sounded more masculine.
"What?" Jace shuddered.
"Daddy help mommy." His voice and eyes went back to normal.
"Where is she?" Jace picked Max up to go find her.
"I don't know." Max started to cry.
Jace ran around the corner he saw Clary lying on the floor.
"Clary what happened?" Jace put Max down and took out his stelee and drew an iritze on her. He could still hear Max crying.
"Daddy what happened to mommy?" Max was balling.
"Max stay back." Jace put his hand out.
"Jace what happened to her " Isabelle shrieked behind him.
"Max eyes black. Blood hands." Jace looked at Isabelle he was crying. He looked back down at Clary.
"Jace there's no blood on him. There's no blood at all." He looked at Isabelle.
"Behind you!" Jace screamed. Sebastian hit Isabelle in the back of the head.
"What are you doing here?" Jace asked him.
"I'm here form my son." Sebastian smiled and picked up Max.
"He's not your son. Put him down." Jace screamed.
"Oh but he is Clary and I had sex. She thought I was you. I may have made myself look like you. Then nine months later 'Max' was born. I would have called him Jonathan." Sebastian laughed at Jace.
"You put my son the fuck down!"
"But you don't have a son Jonathan." Sebastian put Max down. Jace sprang up to his feet and nailed Sebastian in the face. Sebastian moved his head and spat on the floor. Sebastian punched Jace in the chest causing him to fall back. Jace pushed off the floor and kicked Sebastian in the chest.
"You son of a bitch." Sebastian spewed at Jace. Sebastian went to punch Jace but Jace caught his hand and twisted his wrist.
"I will kill you if you don't leave now." Jace told Sebastian.
"I will be back you little bitch." Sebastian ran out the door. Jace pulled out his phone.
"You need to get here now."
"What? May I ask who's calling?"
"Magnus it's Jace. I need your help."
"I will be there in 10. Have you told Alec or Izzy?"
"Izzy is here and if Alec isn't with you don't tell him."
Jace hung up the phone. He drew an iritze on Isabelle.
"Who was that bad man?" Max whispered to Jace.
"That was uncle Sebastian." Jace told him.
"He's bad." Max said.
"Jace...what happened?" Isabelle slowly lifted her head.
"Sebastian happened." Jace said as he picked up Clary.
"Is she ok?" Isabelle sat up and held Max to comfort him
"I don't know." Jace heard footsteps.
"What the hell happened?" Alec said while scanning the room.
"Sebastian." Isabelle answered.
"What the fuck Jace why didn't you tell me?" Alec looked mad.
"Where's Magnus?" Jace asked.
"He's coming."Alec said to Jace. Magnus almost ran into Alec.
Magnus went over to Clary.
"She's just passed out. We need to get her to my apartment." Jace lifted up Clary. Alec helped Isabelle up and took Max. They went out side and got into Magnus' 5 passenger car. Jace went in the back holding Clary Alec hopped in beside him holding Max. Isabelle took the front seat. It was a quick drive. Everyone ran up the stairs except Magnus and Alec. Magnus stopped Alec.
"Everything will be alright. I love you." Magnus told Alec.
"I know but Jace needs to be told that and I love you too." Alec said as he ran to help his siblings.
"Jace put her on the couch and try to wake her up." Magnus told Jace. Max was playing with Chairmen Meow while Isabelle watched him.
"Jace what else do you want my help with?" Magnus asked.
"I want a DNA test to prove he's mine." Jace looked at Max.
"What?" Isabelle looked at Jace.
"Sebastian told me something and I want him to be wrong. And Maxs eyes they were black." Jace looked at Clary. "She didn't do it on purpose."
"Ya I can do that. It will take autos bit. Try to wake her up." Magnus told Jace. He went over to his spice cabinet and pulled a bunch of spices out into a pot. He went over to Max and cut a piece of hair. And put it in. He waited until the pot boiled. He went over to Jace and pulled out one of his hairs.
"Magnus that hurt." Jace said.
"When I put the hair in it will either turn blue or black. If blue he's yours if black he's not. Ok?" Magnus told him.
"Ok I'm ready do it." Jace was shaking he was affriad it will be black. Magnus dropped the hair in the pot. Everyone stopped and looked at it.
"Magnus what does that mean?" Jace asked.
"I-I don't know this has never happened. It has never turned pink." Magnus told him.
"Wh-what's going on?" Jace moved his head to see Clary open her eyes. He backed away not wanting to be near her. "Can someone tell me?" Clary looked at Jace in confusion. She could see his face bruised and bloody. "What's everyone looking at?" Alec pointed at the pot.
"Clary it's a test to see if Max is Jaces son. If he's not it turns black-"
"So he is his son I mean who's else would he be?" Clary said cutting off Magnus.
"We aren't sure it's supposed to be blue if he is." Magnus explained.
"So what does that mean."
"It means the DNA is identical. It the same." Clary turned around to see Sebastian. Jace jumped up and attacked Sebastian.
"What do know of this!" Jace screamed at him.
"Max is wearing a wig that I have put on him. It's made of Jaces hair." Sebastian grinned as he pulled out a piece of Jaces hair. "Do it again but make enough for 3 samples." Sebastian told Magnus. Sebastian walked over to Max and took off his wig to reveal silver hair with a little red.
"Why do this? Why make him a wig?" Jace asked.
"To hide his real hair and to see your face when he turns out to be mine." Sebastian moved over to Clary and kissed her. She slapped him.
"Whatever Magnus' potion says you will never be his father." Clary spat at him. "You would be a worse father than our own."
Sebastian ignored what Clary said.
"Warlock are you making the potion yet?" Sebastian looked at Magnus.
"Do not talk to him like that he has a name!" Alec yelled.
"Oh sit down gay boy." Sebastian said. Jace got up and nailed Sebastian in the face.
"First of all don't you ever talk to my brother like that and secondly if you are going to stay and wait you are getting tied up." Jace yelled at him. Sebastian sat in a chair Jace tied him up and taped his mouth.
"I need Maxs real hair." Magnus went over to Max and tugged his hair a little and cut a piece. Magnus put his hair into the put and let it boil. He poured it into 3 cups leaving some still in the pot. He went over to Sebastian and pulled out his hair. Jace and Clary did the same.
"On three we put the hair in a cup ok. Three...two...one." Magnus said as the three of them drop the hair in the cups. Sebastian's turned black then Clary's did then Jace's did. They looked at each other.
"How is this possible? I gave birth to him." Clary said in shock.
Magnus filled two other cups with the mixture. he took out his phone.
"Get over here now it's important." Magnus hung up the phone. 10 minutes later Simon came through the door. Magnus pulled out one of his hairs and did the same to Isabelle.
"What was that for?" Simon asked but no one replied.
Magnus dropped their hair in the two cups. The mixture turned blue both of them.
