A/N: Okay, I know I should be working on Remnants of the Past, but this is just an idea I've had ever since I read the last TMI book last year and I had to write it. It's a pretty AU type thing, but still. I like it. :) Also, if you like Teen Wolf, or have ever liked Teen Wolf, you should totally go check out Remnants of the Past. Especially if you love Stydia! It takes place 8 years after they all graduated from high school. Its all Malia, Stiles, and Lydia. I tried my best to make it more like the beginning of the series when the show was at its best. Thanks for reading guys! I love you! I hope you enjoy this fic, and as always, Read and Review! :)

...

Rebecca and Elaine Lewis had arrived just a minute or two after the wedding ceremony had begun. They hadn't missed that much of the wedding really, just the bridal party walking down isle. The mother and daughter sat in the back row of the folding lawn chairs so as not to disrupt anything.

"She's wearing gold." Elaine whispered quizzically to her daughter.

"Simon says it's a shadowhunter thing." Rebecca whispered back.

The woman quickly quieted at the mention of the monster pretending to be her son. She was still struggling with accepting everything—mostly because she had still refused to talk to it. She had only agreed to come to the wedding today for two reasons, one being the simple fact of whose wedding it was. Elaine had always seen both Jocelyn and Luke as good friends, they were good people and she had always trusted them with her children when the were younger. She liked them, and they invited her. Regardless of all of that, she was still on the fence about whether or not she would be attending due to the fact that she was positive the Simon imposter would also be there. She hadn't made up her mind until Clary showed up at her door step three days ago.

…...

The gentle chime of the doorbell rang and Elaine shuffled her way over to the door. Cautiously she looked through the peephole to find the small red haired girl standing on the other side. She opened the door a crack and peaked outside.

"Clary?" She asked warily.

"Hey Mrs. Lewis." She said with a friendly smile. Upon seeing the wariness on Elaine's face she hastily added, "Don't worry, Simon's not with me. He doesn't even know I'm here."

Seeming to be reassured, the elder woman opened the door a bit wider and looked around outside as if double checking that the young girls words were true.

"May I come in?" Clary asked softly, "I was hoping I could talk to you for a minute."

Seeming to be satisfied that Simon wasn't there, Elaine nodded her head and opened the door the rest of the way, "Of course Clary." She said with a gentle smile. Once Clary was inside the house she shut the door and swiftly locked it. "So what did you want to talk about?"

"Well," Clary began.

Simon had told her that his mom had etched religious symbols into the door, and he certainly wasn't exaggerating. The Star of David, crosses, and bible passages had been etched, written, and painted all over the front door, windows, and window sills of the house. His mother did not want him getting back in that house anytime soon. This was not going to be easy. For that reason, she decided to take a different route to the situation.

"Well, to begin with, I wanted to ask you about my mom and Luke's wedding. We were wondering if we would be seeing you there?" Clary said with a smile."You and my mom have always been friends—and Luke too. They'd really love it if they saw you there. And of course Becky is invited too."

Elaine tried for a smile. "I want to come, really. It's just, Simon and I aren't exactly on the best of terms right now." She said his name as though it was acid in her mouth. "And I know Simon will be there, right?"

"Well, he is the best man Mrs. Lewis." Clary replied with a tiny forced laugh.

"Look, I know why you and Simon are having issues." She told his mother. "I know that you found the bottles of blood in his mini fridge, and how he told you that he was a vampire. And I know that you threw him out, tried to kill him, and drew all of those religious symbols all over the house to keep him out."

Elaine Lewis currently looked something like a fish to Clary. Her mouth hung open in a perfect "O" shape. "How did..." She trailed off in confusion.

"You mean beside the fact that Simon is my best friend and he tells me everything?" Clary offered. "Simon's not the only one involved with all of this weird supernatural stuff." she used air quotes as she said the word supernatural.

"What, are you going to tell me you're a vampire too? If you're some sort of monster too—" Elaine began.

"No, no. Gosh, no. Nothing like that." The younger girl reassured her, "Its actually the complete opposite. "

Clary quickly went on to explain to her friends mother about shadowhunters, how they were Nephilim. She told her how they were part angel and that it was their job to hunt the demons and evil in the world. Lastly Clary informed her that she was a Shadowhunter. She briefly told her how vampires, werewolves, warlocks, and seelies existed—another brief explanation as to what seelies were was also needed. When Clary had finished the elder woman in front of her looked even more baffled. Clary heaved a heavy sigh before trying her next approach.

"Okay. Let me ask you a question." At Elaine's nod Clary continued.

"I need you to just, forget about all of the weird stuff you noticed about Simon for a minute." She began. "Forget about finding the bottles of blood, and how he didn't have a pulse, how he doesn't need to breath, how he doesn't eat normal food anymore, and about the times when he seemed a little jumpy."

She gave the woman a moment to try and do what she had asked of her before asking her question. "If you took away all of those little physical thing, was there ever any difference in Simon's personality that you noticed?"

After a long moments pause Elaine slowly shook her head side to side. "No." She said softly, sounding much like a little girl speaking to her mother when she was fearful of being punished. "No I didn't." She repeated.

"Exactly." Clary said giving her a small encouraging smile. "I've known Simon a long time—I think the only people who've known him longer than me are you and Becky actually—and I know him almost as well, if not as well, as you two. So, please, just trust me when I tell you that he is still the same Simon that he always has been?"

...

Becky, of course had been trying to convince her mother of the same thing ever since she had found out about the vampire being a vampire. Somehow, hearing it from both her daughter and her sons best friend was enough to make her think that they might be right. She still didn't believe it, not really, but she wanted it to be true. She wanted to have her son back.

"Does Luke know that it's a vampire?" Elaine asked her daughter as the Simon imposture handed him the ring.

"Yes." Rebecca responded, "Now shh, I would like to hear their vowels, thank you very much."

Together the pair sat silently in the back row for the rest of the wedding, watching the ceremony.

…...

"Would you just go talk to him already mom?" Becky asked, clearly annoyed with her mother.

They had been standing in a corner of the barn at Luke's farmhouse for what the younger girl estimated to be almost 20 minutes. She was making her estimation based on the number of songs—five of them—had played since they entered the barn. Her mother had spent that 20 minutes studying Simon from afar. Rebecca couldn't understand why it was so hard for her mother to grasp the concept that he was still Simon at first. Eventually she came to understand though.

Being a mother, the idea that something horrible had happened to your child was unfathomable. Partner that with one of your children becoming one of the undead? Well that was like telling a mother, "Your son died. Oh, no, sorry. Just kidding, he didn't die completely. He did, and it was painful, but he came back to life after being buried alive. But he still doesn't have a heart beat. Here, have your vampire son back now. And good luck!" No wonder her mother was is denial. But just because she understood her mother's logic, didn't mean she couldn't be incredibly annoyed by it.

"No." Her mom said slowly. "I'm just, not ready yet."

There was a long pause, a verse and a chorus of a song, before her mother spoke again. "It was a beautiful ceremony, don't you think?"

"Yea mom, it was really beautiful." She sighed in frustration. This was a party and she was not about to stand here holding up the barn with her mom. Besides, she didn't care what Simon was, he was still her baby brother.

"Okay." Becky announced. "You can stand here and hold up the wall while staring at your son from afar all you want. But I am going to go say hi to my little brother."

With that statement finished, she stood up straight and walked swiftly over to where Simon and Clary were dancing. She ignored her mother telling her to be careful, throwing a quick, "I'll be fine Mom." Over her shoulder as she went. The dance floor wasn't exactly crowded just yet—Becky supposed that the guest had wanted to eat dinner before dancing—so it wasn't too difficult for her to find her brother and Clary amongst the few groups of dancers.

"Boo!" She laughed as her baby brother jumped at the sound of her voice. Clary who had seen her coming laughed with her.

"Becky!" He said joining in the laughter as he saw her and reached to hug his sister. "Hey! How are you? When did you get here?"

Rebecca grinned as she hugged her brother back. "I'm good Si. And we've been here pretty much the whole time."

"We?" He asked with a raised brow.

"She actually came?" Clary asked hopefully.

"Who came? Who is the other person involved in this 'we' statement?" Simon asked again, looking between his best friend and sister. He suspected he knew who they meant, but that could have just been his wishful thinking.

"Mom's here." His sister finally answered, a half grin on her face.

"Mom's here?" He repeated lamely. His suspicion wasn't wrong, but he was still shocked that she was here in the same room as him and not trying to kill him.

"And you have Clary to thank for that, so I hear." His sister smiled looking at Clary, who in turn smiled and took the sides of her silk silver dress, crossed her ankles, and curtsied.

"Clary, What did you do to convince her to come?" He asked smiling wide at his curtsying friend. "She does know that killing me again is still off the table right?" He teased.

"Yes, Simon, of course she knows that." Clary laughed, "I just told her that you were the same Simon basically. I guess both me and Becky telling her finally got through to her."

"She says she's not ready to talk to him yet." Becky said rolling her chocolate brown eyes in annoyance, "But at least she's here in the same room with him and not trying to hurt him. It's kind of progress."

"It's a start." He agreed. She wasn't talking to him yet, but at least she wasn't trying to kill him anymore. For now, he could live with that.

A tall, beautiful, dark haired girl ran over to the little group of three at that moment. "Clary, I lost your boyfriend." She announced as she reached them.

"He's your brother too you know Iz." Clary responded laughing.

"Not when he gets studpid ideas he's not." She argued. Noticing Simon her full, deep red colored lips split into a wide grin before she placed a quick little kiss on his cheek. "Hi Simon." She said flirtatiously

"Hey Izzy." He said grinning—if Becky didn't know any better, she'd swear her brother was blushing.

"Uh, this is my big sister Rebecca." He said introducing them, "Becky, this is my girlfriend Isabelle. And wow, that is still really weird to say—my girlfriend Isabelle."

All three girls laughed as Isabelle reached out her hand to shake Rebecca's. "Hi Rebecca, it's really nice to meet. And you can call Izzy."

"It's nice to meet you too Izzy." Rebecca said shaking the hand of her brothers new girlfriend with a smile, "And you can call me Becky."

"Hey Izzy, what do you mean you lost Jace? What stupid idea did he come up with this time?" Clary chimed in.

"I don't know." Izzy said with a heavy sigh, "The last time I saw him he was out back sniffing around by the grill. I pulled him away because he looked like he was about to start drooling over the food. He said he had to pee and he would be back. That was 5 minutes ago and I have a feeling that he's back out by grill eating all of the food."

Clary laughed. "That definitely seems like Jace."

"That sounds like any guy to me." Simon snorted.

"He's not wrong you know." Becky added helpfully.

They all laughed. "No he's not." Izzy said through her laughter.

The song changed to the familiar drum beat of one of Becky's favorite songs. Simon had just enough time to think that statement before she echoed his thoughts. "I love this song!"

"Who doesn't love this song?" Izzy asked with a smile, "It's fantastic!"

"That's actually saying a lot coming from Izzy." Simon said. "Izzy lives under a giant rock called 'shadowhunter land.'" His girlfriend laughed and hit his arm playfully.

"No, seriously." He continued laughing, "she doesn't know anything that's common knowledge about our—your—world."

Simon made an exaggerated frown and crossed his eyes playfully as he teased himself for his slip up with words before shrugging. "I don't know whose world it is anymore, but either way, she doesn't know a lot about it." He succeeded in earning another playful slap from his laughing girlfriend.

"How about instead of insulting Izzy's lack of knowledge on the mundane world we go enjoy this fantastic song?" Clary suggested.

"That sounds like a fabulous idea to me." Izzy agreed. Together all four of them made their way to the center of the dance floor to dance.

…...

Elaine Lewis was sitting at one of the tables watching her daughter and the Simon imposter talking and laughing together. Becky had hugged her brother when she first reached them, both with a smile on their face. The smile on the fake Simon's face turned to an expression of confusion, her daughter and Clary smiling at each other as they spoke. Slowly, the confused expression turned into one of surprise—and judging from the slight smile that soon appeared it was a pleasant surprise. She watched as Clary did a little curtsy and Simon briefly turned his attention to her. The mother of two couldn't tell what they were saying, but all three seemed to be happy for the most part.

As the teens spoke she noticed a tall brunette jog over to the group and join in on the conversation. The new girl wore what appeared to be a red, form fitting silk, strapless and backless dress which cut off just above her knees. She wore matching red stiletto heels and what appeared to be an antique ruby pendant around her neck. Elaine had to admit, the girl really was quite beautiful. She watched as the mysterious girl spoke with Clary for a moment before turning her attention to the fake Simon, placing a kiss on its cheek. From afar she watched as the introductions were made between the girl and her daughter, both girls smiling as they shook hands.

The four of them spent another moment or two talking and laughing, apparently the fake Simon had said something comical. As they all spoke Elaine heard the song change to play what she knew was one of Becky's favorites, and as if on cue, she saw her daughters face light up as she exclaim something that she was sure was about the current song. The pretty brunette in the red dress smiled and said something, more than likely agreeing with her daughter. The demonic creature taking the form of her son said something that made the group laugh, the mystery girl giving the vampire a playful slap.

He spoke again and then paused, frowning rather comically and crossing his eyes. The face was so characteristically Simon she had to smile at it. He continued talking as the four of them laughed even more, the girl playfully hitting Simon again before Clary said something. Immediately after her comment they all walked to the center of the floor and began dancing together, laughing and goofing around the entire time.

…...

As the song ended Clary decided that it was time for her to go pull Jace away from the grill outside. "I'm sure that you and all of our guest are going to be hungry too." She'd told Becky giving her a hug, "I'll catch up with you guys later okay?"

"We definitely would!" Rebecca laughed hugging Clary back. "I'll see you later Clary." She said before the redhead jogged off to find her boyfriend, poking Simon's shoulder and giving her friend a smile as she passed him.

Simon's sister laughed looking at her brother and fanning herself with her hands to cool off from dancing, "I should probably get back to Mom too."

"Yea, she's looking a little lonely over there." He said pointing at her. "Tell her 'hi' for me?" He added hopefully.

"Of course Si." Becky smiled at him reassuringly, reaching out to hug her baby brother. "I'll find you guys later."

He hugged her back tightly before letting her go. She could tell that he missed being with her and their mom. Rebecca wanted nothing more than to fix this for him—she had been trying her best, as had Clary—but at this point it was up to their mother to make the next move. There really was nothing more she could do for him at this point.

"I'll see you later Becky." Simon agreed letting his big sister go.

"See you Si." She said with a smile. Pausing as she walked by Isabelle she put a hand on her arm, "It was really nice to meet you Izzy."

"It was great to meet you too." Izzy said going in for a full hug with a smile, "And I really love your shoes, by the way."

"Thanks!" She said laughing, "You look fabulous in that dress."

"Thank you!" Isabelle grinned as Becky walked in the direction of her mom, giving both her brother and his new girlfriend a wave.

Rebecca found a chair at the table Elaine sat at and looked over at her mom with a smile. "So, Simon says to tell you that he says hi." To her surprise, her mom actually smiled at the comment.

"So who was that girl with all of you?" Elaine asked curiously.

"Well," her daughter began, "Why don't you go talk to him and find out?"

Rebecca heard her mother sigh loudly beside her. "Please, just answer the question Becky." She said sadly. It was more of a statement than a question.

The younger girl sighed as well before answering. "Her name is Isabelle, she's Simon's new girlfriend, and I happen to like her. If you want to know anymore, then you'll have to talk to him yourself."

Looking at her mother she could see that something had changed in her mind since she had left. She thought she had been imagining it when her mother smiled at hearing that Simon had said hi to her—it was such a slight smile after all—but now she wasn't so sure it was her imagination. She was about to ask her mom what she was thinking when Elaine spoke first.

"I will talk to him, Becky." She said softly, sadly. "I want to talk to him." She added, "I'm just—I'm having a hard time making myself actually walk over and do it."

Rebecca grinned at her mother, she had made progress. "Do you realize what you just said Mom?" Her mother looked at her, clearly confused. "You're finally using the proper pronouns again!" Becky exclaimed in excitement.

"What do you mean?" Her mom asked, not yet understanding what she meant by "proper pronouns."

"I mean you actually said 'him.'" she smiled, "Normally when we're talking about Simon you just refer to him as 'it,' 'thing,' or, my personal favorite, 'the-monster-wearing-my-son's face.' So uh, why the change?"

"I don't know." Elaine said, she still had not taken her eyes off of Simon. "I was watching him with you and Clary and the way you were together—and then, I don't know what was being said but he crossed his eyes and made this face that was just so—it was just so Simon."

"That's because he is Simon, Mom." Becky scoffed.

"Yea." Elaine said. She wanted so much to believe that he was still her Simon, but it was hard to accept the fact that not only had her son died, he was a vampire—that vampires were even real for that matter. As skeptical as she was though, she was starting to think that Becky and Clary might be right. She hoped they were.

"Yea." She repeated, "Maybe he is."

A/N: My original plan was for this to be a oneshot, but after getting started and seeing what I have written, and knowing what I still have to write in order to get to where I want this story to end, I'm thinking that this is going to be way too long to be a oneshot. So, this oneshot is being upgraded to a two shot. I really hope you guys enjoy this, and I hope I did Elaine and Rebecca Lewis in a way that was believable for them. We were given so little of them in the book series that we didn't get to see very much of their personality, which makes writing anything with them pretty open for interpretation based on what we have of them. I hope I did all of these amazing characters justice, and I hope you all enjoy this story. Read and Review! :)
