A/N: I do NOT own Mortal Instruments. Simply Borrowing it. Enough said.

I tried to write as much as I could tonight to get this up. It's now 12:30 in the morning and I have to be up in 5 and a half hours. I wanted to get this chapter done and get posted before I went to bed. You're welcome. :D Anyways, REVIEW! Please and thank you.

-Btw, I received a request for a visit from Isabelle and Simon from Jackforce. You can all thank Jackforce for this chapter. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have written anything until tomorrow. Enjoy!

The house had been silent all day. Jace took Renee to the store with him to pick up a few groceries so I was left to myself for a few hours. I thought I might actually get some peace and quiet for awhile, maybe take a nap. Nope.

My silence only lasted about an hour. That is when Isabelle and Simon burst through my front door.

"Don't bother knocking! It's not like a baby lives here anymore or anything!" I hollered as I walked around the corner from the kitchen. I knew instantly who it was because of Isabelle's high heels and Simon's chatter about waking up the baby.

"Why would we knock? We're family! And besides, she isn't even here. I called my insane brother on our way here and he told me he was out with Renee shopping, which caught me by surprise until he explained it was only for groceries." Isabelle appeared in the hallway, taking off her coat and draping it over a hook by the door. Simon didn't bother to take off his coat. He ran right to Clary and threw his arms around her.

"It's so great to see you, Clare Bear! I've missed our late night movie nights with jumbo popcorn extra butter, hold the salt."

All I could do was smile as my best friend twirled me around in circles while he rambled about popcorn. I was kind of surprised to see the two of them together. Alone. I'll have to drill them for details.

"Okay, now that you both are in, why don't you come into the kitchen and I'll get you something to drink. And then we can talk about whatever you two came here to talk about." I through Isabelle a questioning look, but she immediately looked away, suddenly fascinated by the button on her sundress.

They followed me into the kitchen and I poured us all a glass of soda and sat down at the counter. The counter wrapped around the sink and had chairs seated along it. It was in the middle of the kitchen, so instead of a kitchen table we had a kitchen…eating counter? Well, I liked it. I thought it looked nice.

I sat there staring at both of them as they sat close to each other, but not too close, and stared down at their drinks rather that drink them.

"I didn't poison them if that's what you're worried about."

Simon's head shot up. "Oh no! We know! I just..uh..you see, we…erm…Isabelle and I—"

"WE'RE ENGAGED! Okay. There. It's out. Someone knows and I don't have to keep that to myself anymore…phew!"

Simon's body tensed up. I, however, choked on my own spit. It took me a minute to finally recover.

"You're…what?" They just sat there staring at me. "For how long exactly? Why didn't I know that my sister-in-law and my BEST FRIEND were engaged before now? Hm? Are either of you going to speak soon?"

Simon was still tensed up. He actually looked scared of me. He wouldn't look anywhere but at his glass. Isabelle was the first one to speak. "Well, Simon proposed right after we left here from meeting Renee. He took me out to a nice restaurant and then back to his flat where he already had stuff prepared to propose. It was really romantic. Honestly, I never thought Simon had it in him to be that romantic. No offence of course, honey."

Honey. She just called him honey. My best friend. Simon. Yeah, I'm still in shock.

"I didn't even know that you two were dating. And now you two are engaged? This will take some getting used to..I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it. I mean, I've always known that you two have the hots for each other, but I didn't think either one of you would ever make a move!"

"Oh thanks, Clare Bear, for the load of confidence." Simon had finally broken out of this trance. At first I thought he was mad, but when I looked at him he had a big goofy smile on his face. "Can't you at least be happy for me? For us?"

I scooted closer to Simon and put my hands over his. "Do you lover her?" "Yes." "Does she make you happy?" "Yes." "Then I'm happy." I looked over towards Isabelle and placed one of my hands over hers. "Both of you."

Simon wrapped his arms around me and squeezed so hard that for a second I thought that Jace might become a single parent soon.

When he let me go, I looked at both of them. "Okay, when's the wedding and does anyone else know, or just me?"

Isabelle was the first to answer, of course. "We still haven't thought of a date, and you are the only one who knows. Not even Alec or Magnus know! Also, I want you to be my maid of honor. And, of course, Renee has to be the flower girl. No if's, and's, or but's about it."

I smiled. Isabelle's true side was coming out. I can just imagine all the details just had already thought up and were about to share, but we were saved by the bell. Well, more like the front door swinging open followed by a very heavily loaded husband carrying Renee and several bags of groceries at the same time.

I jumped up and hurried over to him. If I were a nice wife, I would have taken all the groceries. Nope! I went right for Renee. I took her out of his arms, kissed him on the lips, then looked back over to Simon and Isabelle. I gave them the "if you don't tell him right now, I will" look. Simon jumped up and put as much space between him and Jace as he could in the kitchen.

Jace set the bags down and looked at him quizzically. "What is his problem?" He looked down at me and then back over to him. "And why does Isabelle look like she's about to choke to death?"

I cleared my throat and glared at Isabelle until she finally caved. "FINE! I'll spill! Just don't kill me! Or Simon! Definitely do NOT kill my-er…Simon.."

Silence practically rang through the air. "You're…what?" He froze, staring at Isabelle with as much intensity as he could at the moment.

"You better start talking before I think you're engaged or something." Simon started coughing and I decided that was the best time to step between my husband and the two of them.

I looked over at Isabelle. "Now."

Isabelle took a deep breath, stood up, squared her shoulders, looked directly into her brother's eyes and said, "Simon and I are getting married. Clary is happy for us. I want your approval, but I don't need it. I know you don't like Simon, but I love him, Jace. Okay? I love him!"

Jace marched around me and straight towards Isy. And then, much to our surprise, wrapped his arms around her and hugger her tight. "I'm really happy for you, sis. I do approve and I'm glad that you've finally found someone who makes you happy."

We were all shocked.

He straightened, walked over to Simon, and stuck out his hand towards him. Slowly, Simon accepted it and they shook hands. "Now, since you'll be my brother-in-law soon, you better not hurt her or I'll hunt you down and it won't matter that you immortal. Understand?" Simon nodded fervently.

"I will take good care of you, don't worry. I love her, Jace. I really do. I won't hurt her. I promise."

Jace just smiled. "Good. Glad to hear it."

He looked over towards me. "We have wine, don't we? It's time to celebrate!"

He grabbed Renee from my arms and took her into the living room to lay her down for her nap. When he came back, he pecked me on the cheek and proceeded to search for the wine Luke had given us when Renee was born. He had muttered something like, "You're going to need this.."

He poured us each a glass and we passed them around until everyone had a glass. He lifted his into the air and we all followed suite.

"I propose a toast. To Isy and Simon. I hope you two live long, happy lives together and that I never have to rip a certain vampire's throat out." Simon gulped and we all said, "Cheers!"

The next couple of hours were filled with wine, laughs, memories, and some planning for the wedding. It felt good to drink a little have reminisce about the good times when we'd all go demon hunting together or make fun of Magnus' clothes. So many happy memories were shared between this small group of people.

All of a sudden Isabelle moaned. We all looked at her, silent. "I just remembered…we have to tell everyone else now, don't we..?"

We all laughed and nodded our heads. I grasped her hand. "Don't worry, Is, I'll be right beside you the whole time."

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm sure you weren't expecting some of the things that happened. Hah! I had a bit of fun writing it, so I hope you had some reading it. Tell me what you think.

Criticism is wanted. Just...not toooo harsh? Please? I haven't written in awhile so I didn't think anyone would like this. Tell me what you want to happen, who you want to see more of, anything like that. I need hints, clues, ideas, anything. I'm open to anything. Sorry if it was a little OOC..I tried. It's been awhile since I've read the series. REVIEW!
