Val's Pov

Val quickly closed the big brass door and sighed. She could hear them trying to get out but it was impossible. She felt bad-but not too bad to walk up the stairs to go tell her mother that they were safely locked away. Val arrived at the living room and her mother was sitting in her usual spot with a glass of wine in her hand. She was staring at the wall as though she was in a trance and Val hated to interrupt her but she knew that her mother needed to know.

"They are in the cellar", Val said and her mother spun round and smiled. She beckoned her over and Val quickly ran over to stand next to her mother. She was about to sit down when her mother stood up, put her wine glass down and walked over to the French windows. In the previous summers, her mother would open up the windows and they would spend time together planting flowers and drinking lemonade. Val missed those times as they barely ever did anything like that as her mum was always busy or didn't have the 'energy' to do it anymore.

"Good, thank-you Val", she said and she put her long slender hands onto the glass panel of the window.

"Now, we must invite our other guests", she continued. Val was confused as her mother had never said anything about anybody else coming to their house.

"Who is coming?", Val asked and her mother turned to face her and she gave an almost chilling grin.

"Those shadowhunters parents of course", she replied and Val found herself smiling back. She had no idea why.

"But what makes you so sure that they will come mother?", she said and her mother turned to look out of the window once again.

"My dear Val, parents always come for their children", and with that she hurried out of the room leaving Val standing puzzled. What was her mum going to do?

Maxim's Pov

Maxim sighed as for what seemed like the hundredth time Peter slammed his body against the door. Adele was crouched in the corner, Honor was watching Peter and Charlotte seemed to be lost in her own thought. It's hopeless, Maxim thought but he didn't want to make the situation any worse so he kept his mouth firmly shut.

"That little dirty piece of shi-",Adele spat but Honor cut her off.

"Calling her names is not going to help, we need to think of a plan", she said and Adele nodded. They all thought in silence until Charlotte cried out, "I KNOW A WHY OUT". Everyone told her to be quiet but they walked over to her and listened to her plan.

"Ok, this might seem crazy but…", she began but Peter gave his father's signature chuckle.

"It's not like we are in any sort of crazy situation now is it?", he said and Adele smacked his arm and he gave a grunt pf protest but he shut up. Maxim nodded at Charlotte to continue.

"I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, that Peter, I and Honor all have higher concentrations of angel blood so it could be possible that we could make a portal", she said and everyone smiled at her.

"Ok, but how shall we do it?", Honor asked her twin and Charlotte grabbed her hands.

"We all hold hand and Maxim can chant what Magnus taught him", she said and Maxim instantly put his head down. It was supposed to be a secret but he guessed that there was no time like the present to practice his skills. Thank the lord for having a warlock as a parent, Maxim thought and he lifted his head to see Adele looking shell shocked, Honor looking confused and Peter looking impressed.

"Ok", Maxim said and they all got up and joined hands. Maxim closed his eyes and began chanting….

Clary's Pov

Clary couldn't believe it- the house was practically empty apart from herself (with her baby) and Jace who was getting her some cream for her aching back from the shop down the road. Jace hated going to mundane shops but he put up with it for Clary. Clary thought about the names for their unborn child. They had decided to keep the gender a surprise-like all their other children. Clary smiled as she thought of having Peter and how life changing that was. The girls also brought amazing joy to everyone's life include Peters as he loved having his siblings to look after. Clary remembered how scared Jace had been about becoming a father but their marriage was so strong that nothing could ever rock them. Clary turned her head to look at the wedding pictures on the wall. Her hair had been curled to perfection, her dress was a simple but stunning golden gown and she could see the smile on not just her face but also Jace's as they drew the runes onto each other. She was just about to keep thinking about her family when she heard an almighty CRASH echo through the house. Her small hands quickly flew to her stomach, almost to protect her baby that she already adored She picked up her phone only to find that it was completely out of charge. Clary knew that there was no way that she could defend herself so she crossed her fingers that Jace would be back any second.

Jace's Pov

"That will be £5.99 please", the grumpy teenage boy cashier said to Jace. Jace dumped the money into his hand and started walking out of the shop. Jace detested mundane shops but if Clary was in pain, he knew he would rather work in one than see her unhappy. Jace began walking home only to be stopped by a young woman. She seemed around Clary's age, with painted pink nails and heavily put on lipstick and eye shadow. Before Jace had met Clary, he would have probably would of begun flirting straight away, but nothing would ever make him look at any other woman. Jace would always find himself comparing other women to Clary as he didn't see anything pretty in girls that wore tight fitted skirts and high heels.

"Hey, wanna come over to mine?", she said and she was obviously flirting but Jace found himself not caring less. He held up the cream and replied, "Just taking this back for my pregnant wife". The woman looked shocked but she quickly composed herself.

"Well, if you ever get bored here is my number", she added and handed him a pink card. She gave a flirty smile and walked off. Jace peered down at the card and grimaced. Yeah, he was totally going to get bored when he was living with the most amazing woman on earth with his three and nearly to be four amazing children, he thought and he ripped up the card and chucked it into the bin and hurried home.
