Jace was woken up to a series of extremely fast knocking and his name being yelled. groaning, he hauled himself out of bed and looked at the time. Him and Alec had trained last night to about 2 in the morning. Alec finally gave in and went to bed but he had carried on for a bit longer. About 2 hours later he dragged himself back to his room where he passed out as soon as he made contact with the bed. He looked at the time now, it was 6 in the morning, that meant he got like two hours sleep! Whoever was behind that door was about to receive a facefull of punches.

As soon as he opened the door he saw Alec backing up.

"Please don't punch me" he whimpered.

"Then why did you wake me up so early!" He said while threatening him with his fists.

"dude hold you fire! I came to tell you something, its about Clary!" He said, clearly out of breath.

"What about clary?" he questioned, now very interested in what he had to say.

"theres no time to explain!" he exclaimed while half dragging half yanking jace down the hall towards the infirmary.

Almost everyone had gathered In the infirmary, the only people who weren't present were Simon, Jocelyn and Luke.

"Ahh Alexander, I see you managed to wake our resident sleeping beauty" he joked.

"Don't push it Magnus, I'm already pissed off as it is. What did you call me here for anyway?" he warned.

"Well, clarys responding to-" he started.

"WAIT WHAT? WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME SOONER! Wait.." suddenly he realised what all the commotion was for.

"exactly, now we might have to wait for a while-" he was interrupted suddenly by a scratching noise.

He looked over so see astonishgly Clary moving and scraping her finger against her skin.

"QUICK, HER STEEL ALEC!" Magnus boomed.

"Your going to let her draw on herself blind?" Jace threw at him.

"everyone knows clary is the best at drawing runes Jonathan" he said while rushing around her, checking for movement and how fast her heart was beating, thats what he told us anyway.

"Don't call me Jonathan" he glared.

"there are more important things than your feelings right now so-LOOK!"

They looked. Clarys hand was moving at rapid speed with the steel against her skin. Magnus had carefully lifted her nightgown so just her stomach was showing(she had underwear underneath and the blanket was covering that area anyway). She was drawing what looked like an Iratze rune but instead of ending on one of the points, its swirled half way back down, through the centre, looped back up and then swept down again, it almost looked like an angel wing. As soon as she finished her hand went limp. The steel clattered to the ground. Everything happened so quickly and everyone was in shock of what just happened not even a minute ago.

A couple seconds later, Jace was the first person to speak.

"So! Did anything happen?" Jace demanded.

"hmm, it should have happened straight away" Magnus mumbled, scratching his head, obviously confused to why it didn't work.

his heart sank, it hadn't worked. He moved over to Clarys bed and sat down, facing away from her. He grabbed her hand from her sides, and began to rub it with his thumbs soothingly, just like Jocelyn had.

"It was all for nothing then" he whispered quietly, knowing what it meant.

"Jace, you can't possibly mean that, at least we-" Isabelle was about to say but stopped.

Suddenly everyone gasped.

"What, Isabelle what were you going to say?" He questioned, confused at her sudden silence.

They were looking at something behind him.

"What are you all-"

"Jace?" Said a familiar voice.

"Yes Clary?" He asked.

he froze in his tracks.

"Clary?" He said in bewilderment and turned round slowly.

"Jace" She smiled.

He felt the tears come out him like an ocean.

"Oh my sweet, sweet Clary!" He exclaimed while peppering her with kisses, he didn't even care that everyone else was awkwardly watching.

"Wh-what happened?" She asked, while looking around in bewilderment.

After everyone had done their hugs, they all explained to her everything that had happened, minusing 1 small detail. he knew he would have to tell her though.

"-thats why I dreamt of coming up with a rune then, I don't even remember drawing it on myself"

"We didn't expect you to Clarissa, we were honestly worried about how much you were going to not remember when you woke up" said Magnus.

Jace cut in"Clary...".

"Jace?" She looked at him with confused eyes "What is it? Whats the matter?".

"The-the baby"

She put her hands tightly around his and "I know" was all she said.

"You do? What do you mean?" he asked, confused.

"Well I was pretty sure when Sebastian stabbed me and not only that, I can feel it, I can feel something missing" she whispered quietly.

"Im so, so sorry Clary" He whimpered.

"hey, hey its not your fault" she soothed while kissing his cheek affectionately.

Suddenly Jocelyn, Luke and Simon appear. As soon as Jocelyn sees Clary she starts running.

"Clary!" She cried as she ran towards her daughter and gave her a massive hug and affectionate kisses.

"Mommy" Clary wept in her mothers arms.

"Honey, I don't know if everyone else has told you but..."

"If its about the baby then I know" she nodded slowly.

"Oh Honey im so sorry"

"It's okay" Clary reassured her.

"but honey?" her mother asked her, clearly concerned.

"Lets not talk about it right now Mom" Jace noticed her voice falter slightly.

he started heading for the door, he was going to get that son of a bitch.

"Jace?" Clary called after him "Where are you going?"

"To kill that asshole once and for all" he grumbled.

Quickly she climbed out the bed and ran up to him. He went to stop her and put her back down on the bed but she had already pummelled into his arms.

he made a coughing sound "Uhh Clary" he indicated for her to look down. her nightgown was tucked into the waistband of her underwear.

"Yikes!" she yelped and pulled the gown out of the band.

He looked over to everyone else.

Alec, who was beetroot red, spoke first "don't worry Clary, me and Magnus are gay anyway".

"actually your gay and I'm bisexual" Magnus slightly jokingly, to Alec's slight annoyance, put in.

"And I've seen it before" Luke called.

Jace gave him an odd look.

"When she was little, she ran about the house in her underwear all the time " he chuckled.

"LUKE!" clary blushed.

"And I..uhh" Simon began.

"have a girlfriend" Isabelle finished off.

"And your my best friend so umm" He blushed. Isabelle thumped him on the shoulder.

"Firstly I'm your mother and everyone else is female anyway" Jocelyn smiled.

"Don't forget about Jace! Although he probably doesn't mind anyway" Isabelle smirked.

He felt himself go red. Clary looked up to him and burst out in laughter. Soon enough the whole room had erupted.

Clary turned her attention back to the conversation.

"Jace you can't go after Sebastian, you can't kill him, you know that"

"I can, he'll just come back eventually, hopefully we will be gone by then"

"Firstly, its going to take a lot of us to kill him and secondly, we both know he won't stay down for long. I want everyone just to stop for a while and relax, it seems you all need a well earned break".

"Now, I should probably go change out of these pyjamas" she said, looking down a herself.

"I'll come with you love" Jace nodded, stirring her in the direction of the doors.

"Aand that is our cue to leave" Simon muttered awkwardly.

"Are you sure your okay honey?" Jocelyn asked her daughter, you could hear the concern in her voice.

"Im fine Mom, I'll come back later otherwise I might stay over if thats alright with you?"

"Just let me know" she said while raising an eyebrow.

Clary POV:

After everyone had said their goodbyes and headed home, Jace led her to the bedroom. She was still so confused about what had happened in 3 months. She wondered how Jace had coped while she was...absent. He had probably been fine.

"Do you want me to run you a bath?" Jace had questioned once they had gotten into the room.

Exhausted(you would think being unconscious for three months you wouldn't need any sleep for a long time) she just nodded.

"Alright then, do you need anything else?" He questioned, she rather liked being cared for.

She thought for a moment. She was quite hungry.

"Food, I need food" she replied, as did her stomach.

After he had ran her a bath he went to the kitchen to apparently 'knock something up' she stripped off her clothing and looked in the mirror, she was thinner than she remembered. Magnus had his friend Catrina a fellow warlock come round to the institute and hook her up to feeding tubes while she was unconscious. She definitely needed to put some back on. Having that bath felt like the most relaxing thing in months. Jace had put some new body wash, shampoo and conditioner in there for her to use which she was grateful for. After giving her hair a well needed wash, she rinsed and climbed out of the bath. She grabbed the closest available towel, wrapped it under her arms and came out of the bathroom. she was just about the sit down on the bed, when she noticed the food. There were sandwiches, crackers with cheese and patte, a bowl of thinly chopped carrot and apple sticks and a bowl of what looked like fudge brownie, mint ice-cream and marshmallows.

"Its not the healthiest I know but its all we had in the kitchen, I hope its alright, I made you some hot chocolate too I you want"

She stood there in bewilderment looking at him.

"Clary, Are you okay?" he said, suddenly concerned "Is it the food, I can get you something else if you like!" he said, sounding panicked.

"Clary?"

"I couldn't have asked for anything better, Jace I love you so much" she cried, running towards him in an embrace.

He caught her and held her tight.

"Ive missed you so much Fray, you have no idea how agonising its been without you, I thought I'd never hear you, or for that matter, kiss you!" he replied by giving her a massive kiss on the lips.

"me too, not that I could miss anything while being unconscious" she smiled.

It had more effect on him than she bargained for. He erupted into laughter. After planting another massive soppy kiss on her lips and sitting with her while she ate, he said something about needing a shower and wandered off. Finally.

She had been holding in this river that poured out of her now for what seemed like ages. After what seemed forever, she fell asleep in crying heaps.

Jace POV:

He could have sworn that while he was showering he had heard muffled sounds that sounded a lot like crying coming from outside the door but he was probably just imagining things. Once he had dried of he stepped back into the bedroom to see Clary curled up in a sleepy mess. Out of curiosity, he went up to inspect her, sure enough, there was evidence that she had been crying. His heart sank, so she was upset after all. Once he had changed he laid down on the bed beside her. He put his arm around in comfort and slowly he too, had nodded of to sleep.

Well that was the first chapter of Surrounded! Did you guys like it? Tell me what you think and if you have any ideas or tips, don't be shy I don't bite!

Working on the next chapter and couple of fun sideline stories soon, will keep you updated!

p.s. sorry it was a bit long! I wanted to fit it into the first chapter and my OCD would allow an 11th part XD.
