Hey guys, thanks for all the reviews.
Sorry for the wait, but I'm back at school now and I have six until summer exams and I really have to study. I'm also going to the zoo with my biology class next Thursday and that Sunday is my sixteenth birthday and I'll hopefully be going to London to see Wicked, so I'm pretty busy. I'll update when I can.

Chapter 13.
*WARNING. HIGHLY SENSITIVE ISSUES IN THIS CHAPTER, PLEASE TAKE CAUTION IN READING.*
*Jem's P.O.V.*
Lily looks at me and says
"Mommy told me that I had a baby brother but he wasn't borned, he went to live with Raziel. Uncle Jem I scared mommy weave me again." She says. Oh the poor thing...
"Do you mean like when she was away for a while, after your brother went to live with Raziel?" I gently ask her. She nods and says
"I miss my mommy when she gone, so I wanna stay with her all the time." She says, her head hanging down.
I hug her tightly and say
"Oh Lily, when mommy was gone for a while when your brother went to live with Raziel, she was very sick and it wouldn't have been nice for you to see her, she wouldn't have been able to mind you, but she was never going to leave forever, and she never will. You need to talk to mommy so she's not worried about you anymore, okay?" I gently ask. Lily nods into my shoulder and says
"You come with me?" I kiss her forehead and say
"Of course I will sweetheart, let's go."
We go into the kitchen where Isabelle, Tessa, and Simon are.
Izzy smiles at Lily and gets down to Lily's level.
"Hi baby girl."She gently says. Lily runs into her arms.
"Mommy, when my brother went to live with Raziel, you were sad and went away, I miss you, I no want you to leave again." She quietly says. I can see Isabelle's heart break as she holds her daughter tightly.
"Oh sweetheart, I am so sorry baby girl, I was very sick then sweetheart, I didn't want you to see me so sick, but I promise you I will never leave you ever again, I love you so much sweetheart." She says.
Lily lays her head on her mother's shoulder and says
"Love you mommy." Isabelle kisses Lily's temple and says
"I love you too sweetheart." She whispers. As I watch the two of them, I'm greatly reminded of Cecily Herondale and her daughter Anna Lightwood, Isabelle not only looks just like Cecily but she's got the same unexpected maternal nature.
A few minutes later, Isabelle comes over to me and says
"Jem, thank you so much for finding out what was wrong with Lily, I was so worried about her, thank you, I can't ever repay you."
"Oh Isabelle, you don't have to, I was worried about Lily too, I couldn't just let you both suffer when I could help you." I tell her.
"Well if there's anything I can ever do, just let me know and I happily will." She says. I smile at her and say
"Thank you Isabelle, I will."I tell her.
*Alli's P.O.V.*
"How do you feel?" Alec asks, helping me inside the institute. I just got home from hospital. I really hope Jordan simply lost his temper with me, and he's not turned into an abusive monster, because I need him, he's the person who loves me most in the world.
"Okay, a little stiff."I say, as helps me sit down on the couch.
"Have you felt Sophie move, since it happened?" He asks, placing his hand on my bump. I flinch slightly, still shocked from when Jordan lost his temper with me.
"Sorry... I'm just still a little shocked. Yeah, she's moving around loads in there." I say, rubbing my bump.
"We're going to have to go shopping for baby stuff soon Alexander." Magnus says, sitting down beside Alec.
"Yes, we will, you can come if you like, Alli." Alec says. I love being so involved with Sophie, already.
"I would love to, thank you."I say.
Just then Will comes running in and clambers up onto my lap, hugging me tightly.
"Missed you aunty Alli!" He says.
"I missed you too buddy."I say. Just then I feel a nudge in my stomach, a kick.
"Ow! Sista kick me, that not nice." He says. I laugh lightly run my hand through Will's hair.
"Will when a baby kicks in their mommy's tummy, they're saying hi and telling us they're okay, they're not trying to be mean." I gently tell him.
"Oh. Hi Sophie, I wove you too." He quietly says, placing his hand on my bump. Sophie kicks again when she hears Will's voice.
"She really likes you Will." I say. He giggles and says
"I can't wait to see her!"
"Well she'll be here very soon William."
*JACE'S .*
*2 weeks later*
"Alec, have you seen Clary?"I ask, walking into the kitchen with Lucy.
"No, sorry." He says, coaxing William to eat his dinner.
"I haven't seen her since this morning, she seemed awfully worried."I say, setting Lucy down.
"Why?" Alec asks.
"I don't know Alec, she's just not herself." I say. I'm so worried about her; I'm terrified someone's hurt her, that someone has been abusing her.
"Jace... I know why she's been like that." Tessa says from the doorway. She does? I can finally know if Clary's okay or not.
Tessa looks worried and slightly hesitant.
"Let's talk in private, shall we?" She says. Now I'm really getting worried.
"Okay." I say. We go into the sitting room, but Tessa doesn't sit down. She lets out a sigh and says
"Jace, the reason Clary isn't being herself for the past month, is because Robert beat her."
