Okay, okay, okay. I realize that the last chapter was kind of annoying...I'm not going to add a Clary/Jace storyline, obviously, but the whole "marriage" thing is kind of something that I wanted to see happen. :) Sorry. I've taken a break from binging shows on Netflix and writing instead.

"One more thing, Clarissa." The consul spoke, "In order to make what we decided legal, you must marry Mr. Herondale."

"What the hell do you mean, I have to marry Jace?" Clary said, a hand on her mouth. Why would they need her to marry Jace?

"You have to, Clarissa. As you know, this child will be considered a disgrace. To even allow this child to go to the Shadowhunter's Academy let alone be trained at an Institute. If you and Mr Herondale are married, then perhaps people may keep their opinions to themselves. This is just us being kind."

Clary almost laughed. Almost. Kind? This is what the clave called kind? To force a woman into marrying a person that she didn't love? Well, she had to. To tell the truth would mean death for her child, and she couldn't bear the thought of that.

"Clary. Whatever you choose, I understand. Just know that the only reason I'm doing this is for Alec, alright?" Jace said quietly.

Clary suddenly felt very stupid. She'd been so caught up in the whole Sebastian thing that she'd almost forgotten about Alec. It was a lingering thought in the back of her mind. Clary didn't want to forget about anything that happened. She felt like an idiot for wanting to move on, let alone kiss a person like Sebastian.

"Clary?" She looked back up at Jace. She needed to keep this child. It was the only part of Alec that she had left.

"Cla-ry. I'm dy-ing. You do-n't ha-ve to wor-ry a-bout me." He looked at her with wild eyes. "Whatever make-s you ha-ppy. I wa-n't y-ou to be hap-py."

Clary inhaled and exhaled. "Yeah, let's do this stupid thing."

"Alright." She could hear the nervous tone underneath the layer of faked confidence in his voice. She wanted to tell him that she didn't want to this either, that she felt horrible for dragging him into this situation, that everything she was doing felt wrong. But all she said was "alright."

"Okay, then. Along with planning the funeral, you must also plan a wedding." A wedding and a funeral. Literally the two most opposite and terrible things to plan at the same time. Along with that, she had two children who had just lost a parent. What would they think of her when she announced that she would be having another kid?

Clary nodded her head, and then walked out alongside Jace.

"Jace, I'm so, so sorry."

"No, it's fine Clary. I'm doing this for Alec. He was my parabatai, my brother, and my best friend. If doing this helps you, then Alec would be happy. If Alec is in any sort of heaven, then I hope that when he sees what I'm doing for you, he'll be happy. I hope that wherever he is, he's not in any pain-"

RING RING RING

The demon alerts started to ring all around Idris. "Attention. All capable soldiers above the age of eighteen should report to Alicante immediately. There has been a demon attack in Alicante."

"Alicante?" Clary whispered. Xavier. Chris. Lily.

"The kids." Both Clary and Jace said at the same time.

Xavier and Chris(LOL this ship is sailing! Ps, the beginning is kind of a funny filler)

"Chris, Xavier, please play with me." Lily tugged on Xavier's shirt. "Xavi, pleeaaaaase."

Chris rolled his eyes. "Lily, you can play on your own. You're six."

Xavier looked at Chris, surprised by how he just acted towards his sister. "Chris, I think maybe we should play with her." Listening to the wails coming from the little girl.

"You're right." Chris sighed. "I think I'm just tired. C'mon." They got up and followed Lily towards her room.

Couple minutes later…

Xavier was on the floor, nail polish dripping in his hair and glitter all around him. Chris burst out laughing. Xavier didn't know what he looked like, and stared at a Chris with a blank look on his face.

"Give me a mirror."

Chris pointed toward a mirror on the wall across the room. Less than ten seconds later there was a scream that rang through the room as Chris laughed even harder.

"Hey! Don't laugh!" Taking a look at Xavier's blonde hair, which was now a weird shade of purple. There was random streaks of makeup all over his face, along with glitter glue and glitter all over his skin. This only made Chris laugh louder.

"I told you that you shouldn't have agreed to this!"

"Lily told me that it was a makeover!" Xavier touched his hair. "It's purple!"

"Well, I think it looks good." Chris smiled at him fondly as he saw Xavier rush to the bathroom.

"Chris! It's not coming out!" Lily giggled as she heard Xavier's panicked voice.

"Lily, what kind of nail polish is that?" Chris asked her.

She held up a bottle of...hair dye.

"Lily!" Chris cried out in between his fits of laughter. "Oh my god you're amazing!" He ruffled her hair and smiled at his sister, who had an evil grin on her face.

Xavier walked out of the bathroom, his face now makeup-free. "Chris, What the fuck did she do to me? I'm pretty sure this isn't nail polish. My hair is fucking purple."

Chris started laughing again when he saw the look on his face. "H-hair d-dye."

"HAIR DYE? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"

"Xav, there is a six year old in the room."

"MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR! MY BEAUTIFUL BLONDE HAIR!" He cried, his hands running through his violet locks of wavy hair. "NO!"

Chris stopped laughing. "I think it…" It was hard to keep a straight face, but he tried. "Looks….unique."

"You're just saying that to make me feel better." Xavier crossed his arms. "Can we at least bleach it and make it fade a little bit?"

Chris thought for a moment. "You know what? I think I might be able to come up with a rune for that."

"Oh, by the angel! Please, Chris." Xavier gave him a look that melted his laughing exterior and made him feel bad for laughing. He knew that Xavier did take pride in his hair.

Lily giggled, her small hands grabbing onto a stele and handing it to Chris. Chris took it and started to draw a rune on Xavier. Xavier smiled when his hair started to fade back into a lighter color. But instead of turning back into the original dirty blonde, it was a grey-blonde color of hair.

"At least it isn't neon purple." Xavier sighed. "My poor, poor hair."

"It'll grow back. Stop being a drama king!" Was what Lily said.

"More like Queen." Chris whispered in her ear.

"Chris! I heard that!" Xavier shouted, pulling Chris close and leaning in until he leaned closer and closer until…

He kicked Chris in the crotch.

"XAV!" Chris shouted, chasing him around. Lily got up as well and started throwing glitter at them.

RING RING RING

"Attention. All capable soldiers above the age of eighteen should report to Alicante immediately. There has been a demon attack in Alicante."

Chris remembered the last attack, where Xavier had nearly died. He opened a hatch that led down to the basement. "Xav, Lily, get in. There's food, water, and other stuff down there." He looked around for his bow, but the only thing he saw was his father's bow and arrows. Shutting out his emotions, he grabbed it and jumped down to the basement where Xavier and Lily were.

Clary

Nobody else knew that she was pregnant. She should fight to protect her family. She want to with all of her heart. She drew a seraph blade and ran to where the rest of the soldiers were heading towards.

I will avenge Alec.
