Alec: I'm going to be an uncle!?

Me: Yea, didn't we already establish this?

Alec: How the hell did this happen!? You don't even own us, Cassandra Clare does!

Me: YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT!? I'm not stupid Alec, jeez. Things will work out...eventually.

Alec: Eventually? Really? Well that makes everything sooo much better! Thanks!

Me: I thought Jace was the sarcastic one.

Alec: Sure, I guess I learned from the best. *Jace walks in*

Jace: Why thank you brother dear! You have done me proud! *Smiles brightly at Alec* Now the two of you shut it and let the people read!

Jace and Isabelle found the others in the library where they had left them. Clary smiled as she saw Isabelle and Jace walk in with their arms linked together. Clary got up, walked over to Jace and gave him a kiss. He smiled against her lips. "I know you missed me but I was only gone for a little while." He told her smirking and Clary rolled her eyes.

"Yes yes Angel boy, she missed you terribly. We thought she was going to go stark raving mad without you." Magnus said sarcastically.

Jace gasped, playing along with Magnus' sarcasm. "You were going to go stark raving mad?" He feigned shock. "Oh Clary, I shall never leave you again!" Jace exclaimed pulling Clary into a tight hug. Magnus snorted, the others laughed, and even Isabelle giggled at her brother's antics. She found it nice to laugh and giggle again.

"Well now that that is settled…Iz?" Alec said and looked at her with concerned eyes. "When and what are you going to tell mom and dad?" Alec questioned, making the room slightly tense again. Isabelle bit her lip and looked away.

"Well…I, umm…I don't know yet. Can we talk about this later? Please, Alec?" Isabelle pleaded. "I just, it was hard for me to tell you what I have already and I would prefer to take a break from talking about it."

"Alright." Alec sighed. "But we will talk about this later." Alec told her.

"Thanks Alec." Isabelle walked to him and hugged him tightly.

"I have an idea!" Clary suddenly exclaimed causing most of them to jump up. "Let's go get you some maternity clothes, Iz!" She clasped her hands together happily.

"OH YES! What a wonderful idea!" Magnus shouted with happiness "You were always the smartest little thing." He told Clary.

"Yeah, sure. Like you'd ever turn down a chance to go shopping," Clary snorted and the others soon joining in laughing, except Isabelle who was still contemplating on the shopping idea. "And let's get something straight, don't ever call me little thing!" She glared at him then turned to Isabelle. "Sooo? What do ya say?"

"Well Clary, I'm not sure I want to go out just yet…" Isabelle trailed off.

"It'll take your mind off of things, I promise." Clary smiled encouragingly at Isabelle.

"Fine. Who's going?" Isabelle agreed warily and then added, "Besides Magnus and Clary."

"You know I'm coming!" Maia announced and then looked at Simon expectantly.

"Yeah, I'll come." Simon stated. He actually really did want to go. He suddenly felt the need to be with Isabelle, to be there for her since he wasn't there that night. He needed to be there for her in case she needed him.

"Well, I think –" Alec started only to be interrupted.

"You think you want to go shopping with you wonderful, fabulous boyfriend?" Magnus inquired.

"That is…exactly what I was thinking." Alec stated smiling at his boyfriend. Jace and Simon looked at each other then back to Alec. At the same time they both said, "Whipsh, whipped," then they burst out laughing while Alec glared and Magnus just smiled.

"But…Jace, you're coming too right?" Clary questioned letting sadness leak into her voice. Jace stopped laughing immediately to look at her. Alec caught on to what Clary was doing and smiled.

"I…well, I…um…" He rubbed the back of his neck in thought. He hated when Clary was upset and he would do anything to keep her happy... but shopping?

"You don't want to come with us...with me?" She corrected and pouted. "I get it, don't worry." Clary turned her head so Jace couldn't see her face. A grin danced on her lips, she knew she had him.

"No! No, of course I want to. That's why I'm coming." He told her lovingly as he walked towards her. Clary spun around with a smile on her face causing Jace to stop dead in his tracks.

"Great! Now that that's all settled, let's going!" She smiled brightly and Jace froze. "Come on baby. Don't forget you said you were coming." Clary smirked at Jace who was just standing gaping at her.

Alec mimicked Jace from before, "Whipsh, whipped!" Simon was clutching his sides as he was laughing so hard, along with everyone else.

Clary walked over to Maia and Isabelle grabbed their hands and towed them towards the door. "Come on boys." Clary called over her shoulder. Jace breaking out of his trance went after her.

"You are so paying for that later." He whispered in her ear as he caught up to her, and she giggled at him. Out of the corner of his eyes he noticed Isabelle looking uncomfortable. "Hey Iz, you okay?" He asked her in a hushed voice.

"Hmm? Oh, yea. Fine." She muttered as they all stepped into the elevator. Truthfully she wasn't fine. She was scared to go out. What if they run into Elias? He's still out there and she was scared of him. She knew that she had all her friends and family there to protect her, but she still felt like that wouldn't be enough or that they would all be killed somehow. She took a breath of fresh air as they stepped out of the Institute. Let's hope this goes well, she thought as walked down the sidewalk for the first time in two months.

**************

Isabelle wandered off not wanting to be around the others any longer. It wasn't because she wasn't having fun, she was, but she just needed a bit of space. They ended up going to Macy's so the boys could look around too. After two hours of Magnus, Maia, and even Clary shoving clothes at her to try on she had enough. The thing was she felt like they were constantly watching her every move but she was surprisingly able to silently escape without them noticing.

After a while of roaming, somehow she ended up in the baby section looking at all the little clothes. As she looked at the little dresses for girls and the little pant outfits for boys she couldn't help but picture her baby in them. She was looking at this adorable flower print dress when she heard small sobs. Being who she is, Isabelle decided to look for the source. She followed the sound until she found a little girl. The little girl was sitting on the floor with her arms wrapped around her legs and her face buried in her knees. The girl's long, straight dark brown hair draped over her shoulders and the sides of her face like a curtain. She can't be more than four years old, Isabelle said in her mind as she cautiously approached the girl.

"Are you okay?" Isabelle questioned warily. Are you okay? That's all I can come up with, really? I'm just gonna be a great mother! Isabelle thought bitterly. The little girls head snapped up to look at Isabelle. Tears spilled over from her warm chocolate brown eyes and they streaked down her olive toned skin. Isabelle felt the sudden need to help and protect this little girl. "What's wrong sweetie?" She soothed, crouching down to the girls size.

"I…I lost…my…mommy." The little girl hiccupped out.

"Oh no, that's not good," Isabelle pushed a stray strand of hair away from the girls face. "How about I help you find her, what do you say?" The little girl sniffled and smiled up at Isabelle, but then frowned.

"But my mommy said not to go with a stranger." The frown stayed on the little girl's face.

"Well you are very smart, and you mommy is very right." Isabelle sighed. "How about this, my name is Isabelle Lightwood and I promise to help you find your mommy." Isabelle told her as if she was swearing to the angel, which is a very big oath for shadowhunters. "Now you know who I am, so we aren't exactly strangers." Isabelle smiled.

"Really?" The girl's frown slowly turned upwards and Isabelle nodded. "THANK YOU IZBELLE!" The little girl yelled as she launched herself at Isabelle, wrapping her tiny arms around Isabelle's neck in a hug. Isabelle laughed and hugged her back.

"I'm going to need to ask you some questions, okay?" Isabelle asked, pulling away to look at the girl in front of her.

"Otay Izbelle. I'm Rehona." She responded with a smile, her cheeks still slightly wet with tears.

"Hi Rehona, how old are you?"

"Four." She said happily, but suddenly got sad. "My mommy says that means I'm a big girl."

"That you are Rehona. Now what does your mommy look like?" Isabelle inquired, standing them both up.

"Um…she has brown hair, and brown eyes. Mommy is big but Izbelle you is way bigger." Rehona stared up at Isabelle with wide eyes, and Isabelle chuckled.

"Okay hold my hand and we'll go look for her, is that okay?" Rehona nodded and gripped Isabelle's hand. "Where did you see her last?" Rehona thought for a moment and then pointed to the left. They headed out in that general direction, looking for Rehona's mother. After five minutes of looking Isabelle noticed the little girl let out a yawn and rub her eye with her free hand.

Isabelle scooped up Rehona in her arms and allowed the little girl to snuggle into her neck. She heard Rehona's breathing even out as she fell asleep. Isabelle continued to walk around to look for the sleeping child's mother when Clary and Simon came around the corner and spotted her.

"Isabelle!" Clary shouted angrily. "Where the hell did you go!? You just disappeared! You had us wor—" Clary was fuming but stopped when she noticed the small body in Isabelle's arms.

"I'm sorry, but I needed some space! I'm not a child anyways, so I can go wherever I please. And keep your voice down she just fell asleep!" Isabelle hissed in a whisper.

"You're right, I'm sorry. I was just worried, ya know?" Clary spoke in a hushed voice looking down at her feet. Isabelle nodded in understanding and Simon decided to speak up.

"Glad you're okay Iz but um, who is that?" He pointed to the small girl in Isabelle's arms.

"Her name is Rehona and I found her crying in the baby section. She can't find her mom." Isabelle told them.

"Why can't we find her anywhere!? Where in the name of the Angel did she go!?" Jace yelled as he tore around the corner with Magnus, Alec, and Maia in tow. When they saw Isabelle they picked up their pace. "Thank the Angel, Isabelle! We were so worried!" Jace told her as he came towards her. "What is that!?" Jace questioned loudly. Isabelle, Clary and Simon quickly shushed him.

"It's a little girl you idiot, and her name is Rehona." Isabelle hissed. "Just help me find her mother." She ordered them. Isabelle started walking through the store with the others following behind her when she spotted a woman looking around frantically. Rehona was right about her mother being shorter than Isabelle. The woman was about 5'4". Her hair was a lighter shade of brown than Rehona's. Her bangs fell in her hazel brown eyes that were filled with worry, and her shoulder length curly brown hair bounced around frantically as she searched for her daughter.

The woman's eyes landed on Isabelle and the small child in her arms. Isabelle and the others approached, and she suddenly noticed anger appear in the woman's eyes. Shit! She probably thinks I stole her kid! Isabelle thought frantically. "Hello Ma'am, my name is Isabelle and I found this little one crying in the baby section. She told me she lost her mommy and I told her I'd help her find her. By the looks of your worrying I'm assuming she's yours?" The woman visibly relaxed. "Rehona wake up." Isabelle gently shook the little girl in her arms.

Rehona lifted her head and rubbed her eye before spotting her mother. "MOMMY!" She squealed, and the woman took her out of Isabelle's arms and smothered her with kisses.

"Thank you so much…" The woman trailed off.

"Izbelle!" Rehona told her mother with a bright smile.

"Isabelle," she corrected softly. "And it was really no problem Mrs…"Isabelle said.

"Well Isabelle, you can just call me Pari." Pari's smile was blinding as she looked at her daughter. "I was so worried, Rehona! Don't do that ever again." Pari chastised her daughter. "And Isabelle I'm surprised she allowed you to pick her up. She usually only lets me and her father do it." She laughed and Isabelle smiled.

"Mommy?" A voice called from behind a rack of jeans. "I'm sorry, I can't find her. It's all my fault." A little boy with tousled black hair said as he ran over to his mom. He looked a couple years older than Rehona and tears streaked his cheeks as he looked down at the floor.

"John—" Pari started to speak but was cut off.

"No mommy! It is my fault! I should have been holding her hand better. I was supposed to look after her." More tears fell from his dark chocolate brown eyes as he scuffed his shoe on the ground. Pari put Rehona down on the floor, and Isabelle crouched down to John's height.

"John, my name is Isabelle and you need to stop beating yourself up okay? Take a look over there." She told him softly pointing in the direction of where Rehona stood. John picked up his head and looked to where Isabelle pointed.

"Rehona!" John shrieked as he ran towards his sister. "I'm so sorry!" He told her pulling her into a hug.

"Get off John! You're… squishing…me!" Rehona wiggled her little body out of her brother's arms. "I forgive you." She told him and John beamed.

"I promise to always hold your hand and protect you." John said seriously, as he grabbed Rehona's hand. Rehona smiled sweetly at him.

"She is going to hate that promise in about nine years when he won't let a boy go near her." Isabelle mumbled and everyone laughed.

"Oh come on, I wasn't that bad." Alec said from Magnus' side.

"Mhmm, sure you weren't." Isabelle laughed. "Well, I think we'll be going now." She told Pari. Rehona ran towards her, and Isabelle bent down to hug her.

"Thanks Izbelle." Rehona mumbled into Isabelle's shirt. Rehona backed away and John came up to both of them.

"Thank you Isabelle." He said seriously.

"No problem you keep her safe, okay?" John nodded and grabbed Rehona's hand.

"Thank you again Isabelle. You are going to be a wonderful mother." Pari smiled and Isabelle gasped.

"How…how did you know?" Isabelle asked in shock.

"I'm a mother, we know everything." She said as she walked away with her children.

"Well that was…interesting." Jace commented. "Are you done yet? I'm getting hungry!" He whined.

"Yes we are."Clary told Jace then turned to Isabelle. "Iz, we bought you the clothes that you tried on." Clary lifted up the large bag she was holding.

"Thank you. And I'm so sorry for worrying you guys." Isabelle spoke with sincerity in her voice. "Now how about we go to Taki's?" She asked as her belly grumbled. "We're starving!" She said rubbing her belly.

"Thank the Angel you said that! I'm starving too!" Jace breathed out in relief. "Do you think that we'll get that sympathy thingy…whatever it's called when girls are pregnant?" He questioned in horror. They all laughed.

"Possibly." Clary teased.

"NOOO!" Jace cried, and the others began to laugh harder.

"Oh shut it, Jace. You don't have to worry about the sympathy crap, but you will have to worry about me kicking your ass if I don't get something to eat soon." Isabelle glared slightly.

"Jeez, hormones much?" The girls and Magnus gasped slightly. Shit, my boyfriend is so dead right now, Clary thought.

"What did you just say?" Isabelle spoke through clenched teeth.

"I…I'm sorry. I didn't mean it, but just don't hurt my beautiful face! Please?" Jace quickly said in a panic when he saw Isabelle's murderous look.

"Yea that's what I thought." She said triumphantly. "Let's go." She threw over her shoulder as she walked away from them to find the exit.

**************

After eating at Taki's they decided to go back to the institute. They didn't talk much about the baby or the rape; it wasn't exactly something to talk about over a meal. Isabelle lagged behind the group as they walked to the institute; Simon slowed his pace to walk with her.

"You know she was right." Simon mused, breaking their silence.

"Who and about what?" Isabelle asked confused.

"Pari, about you going to be a good mother." Simon told her sincerely. "The way you were with Rehona, it was amazing. What happened to the badass shadowhunter?" He teased.

"She's right here." She scoffed jokingly then turned serious. "And do you really think I'll be a good mom?"

"I think you're going to be a great mom, Izzy." She smiled, but it slipped away when she heard a noise come from an alley. A boy walked out, but Isabelle could see that it wasn't really a boy. It was a demon.

"Simon go get the others." She ordered as she flicked her whip out.

"No, I'm not leaving you –" He refused but Isabelle interrupted him urgently.

"Simon you are faster, I'm not going to argue with you. Go get them NOW!" She spat out. Simon took off, the others had already turned the corner unaware of what was happening. The demon took a step closer to her. "I'd think twice about taking another step." She growled.

"Relax pretty little shadowhunter, I'm not allowed to kill you." It made a sound like a chuckle, sending a small shiver down Isabelle's spine.

"What do you mean 'not allowed'?" Isabelle asked, her brow furrowed in confusion.

"You'll find out soon enough." It said turning around to leave.

"Enough with the games!" A flash of gold went through the air as her words left her mouth. Isabelle's whip wrapped around the demon, and it hissed out in pain. "Tell me what you meant!" She demanded. "I'll make your death quick if you do," she added. She got distracted by shouts from behind her, taking her eyes off the demon for a second too long.

"ISABELLE!" Simon screamed her name as the demons claws came down on her back. I'm too late, Simon thought as he slammed into the demon. Isabelle cried out as she fell to the ground. Jace was the second to arrive, grabbing his blade and yelling it's name 'Diniel'. Simon moved allowing Jace to move foward and shove his blade into the demon's heart which was located in… "His knee? Really?" Simon question went unanswered as they both heard the groan from behind them.

Clary was drawing an iratze on Isabelle to heal the claw marks. "That might have healed her flesh wound but it looks as though some of its poison got in. We need to get her back to the institute immediately so I can heal her." Magnus said with worry in his voice.

"I'll draw a portal." Clary announced as she hurried to create the portal. Simon picked up Isabelle, prepared to run through the portal.

"Simon…m-my baby." Isabelle croaked out before her world went black.

A.N. Soo…the end! Just kidding because it took me two weeks to give you this chapter I'm going to give you a little more. :o)

"She's healed." Isabelle heard Magnus say, tiredness clear present in his voice.

"And the baby?" Clary's voice rang out. Isabelle felt pressure on her right hand and assumed it was Clary who was holding it.

"As far as I can tell fine, but I'm not really a doctor Clarissa. I healed what I could, the rest is up to her." Magnus told Clary. Isabelle tried to listen longer but the blackness soon overtook her.

She woke every now and then to voices, but for some reason she didn't have the strength to open her eyes. She did however realize the constant pressure on her hand. "She has been out for two days now!" Clary voiced harshly.

"We know but what can we do? Magnus said she'd wake when she's ready." Alec replied, he sounded tired and worried.

"Yes I did." Isabelle heard Magnus enter into the room. Isabelle wanted to wake and ease their worry but her eyelids felt like rocks. She tried to move her hand as Clary began to speak.

"Well by the Angel when –" Clary began.

"She moved her hand!" A voice shouted, cutting off Clary. Isabelle decided to try and open her eyes. The light blinded her as her eyes fluttered open, causing her to close them quickly. She blinked a few times before she was able to observe her surroundings. Simon was holding her hand, his face showed worry as did the others' faces. Clary who was at the foot of her bed came around and crushed her into a hug.

"Thank the Angel!" Clary cried. After Clary hugged her the others came and did the same.

"What exactly happened after Jace killed the demon? I can't remember much after that." Isabelle questioned, her hand immediately went to her stomach and she sighed in relief as she felt the bump still there.

"Well our dear Isabelle, we brought you back here and I healed you. Then you worried us sick when you wouldn't wake up. Even Angel boy lost his sarcasm." Magnus told her, ignoring the glare Jace shot at him.

"Is…is my baby okay?" She asked quietly.

"We aren't positive Iz." Alec said truthfully. "You and the baby need to be checked out by an actual doctor, and you need to tell mom and dad." He said told her.

Isabelle was about to speak when she heard the doors open, and none other than Mayrse and Robert Lightwood walked in. "Tell us what?"
