I worked eleven hours today... new personal record.

Disclaimer in case I get sued: I know Cassandra Clare owns TMI and the characters.

Farewell Idris and Hello Switzerland

Clary didn't want to leave. Sure she missed her family, but she would miss seeing Jace everyday. It was Friday, February 28 and it meant that she was heading back to Switzerland to stay and make last minute arrangements before the wedding. It was six a.m and Clary's flight didn't leave till three o'clock but Clary couldn't sleep. She would miss seeing her golden boyfriend daily.

Clary's green eyes stared at the ceiling of the princess suite. It would be odd to get back to her own princess suite that was much different than this one in Switzerland. Clary got up and pushed the covers off of her. The sky was starting to cast light through the sheer curtains that fell over the french doors in her room. Grabbing her robe, Clary walked out onto the balcony barefoot and leaned against the stone and marble railing as the drab sky turned a lighter shade of black. Clary smiled at her future home. The sky was definitely drearier here than in her homeland but it was still beautiful in its own way. Clary liked how the clouds overlapped each other and the way the sun peeking through the clouds could make her day or how when it was sunny out, how the whole city seemed to light up. Clary could do without the humidity though, it made her hair frizz like no other.

Clary sat down on a patio chair and went inside her room to retrieve watercolors, paintbrushes, and her all purpose sketch pad. Clary dipped her wet paintbrush in a darker beige color for the skin tone of the person she was painting.

One hour later, she had a watercolor of Jace done, Clary's face was outlined next to his face. The English air was slightly chilly but Clary didn't want to go inside. She heard footsteps and turned to see Jace standing in the doorway. He was already dressed for the day in a pair of jeans, a collared shirt, and a sweater thrown over it. He still wore loafers though and Clary smiled at him. Jace smiled back and sat down next to her.

For a moment, the two were quiet. They both knew how the other felt. Jace finally spoke.

"I'm trying to remind myself that two months won't be anything compared to the lifetime ahead of us but it's becoming difficult since the day has finally arrived that you won't be here." He said. Clary smiled sadly at Jace.

"I've enjoyed spending time with you, Jace. Hopefully, these next seven weeks will go by quickly. You'll be in Switzerland a week before the wedding so I'll see you in April." Clary said. Jace reached for her hands across the small round table. He smiled at her.

"For now though, my parents are expecting you for breakfast in thirty minutes. You best get dressed." He said. Clary smiled and got up but Jace stopped her and brought her close for a sweet kiss.

"Goodmorning, Clary."

"Goodmorning, Jace."

oOoOo

It was one o'clock and Clary had everything packed up now. Well, anything she would need until she came back. She had with her, one suitcase with wheels and a purse to carry essentials in during the short flight back home. Magnus had designed a dress specifically for this occasion, what was so grand about it, Clary wasn't sure but she thanked him for the dress she was wearing anyway. It was a yellow dress that reached her knees with a two inch border of lace flowers at the hem and on the neckline that lead to the sides and stopped at her ribcage as well as go a few inches on her chest. She had matching yellow heels though Clary didn't like them and a light coat to match with the outfit. Her hair had been pulled back in a casual bun and a statement necklace adorned her neck to pull the outfit together. She watched her dolled up face in the mirror before turning off the lights to her bathroom and walked outside of her suite with her two bags.

"Ready to go?" Asked her british beau's voice.

"Not really, but I do miss Jonathan and my parents." Clary replied. She felt a hand settle on her lower back.

"I'll see you in seven weeks then." He said quietly as he rested his head on her shoulder and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. They stayed like that for a few minutes before Jace blew out a breath, kissed her cheek and took her bags from her to put in the car.

Just like her arrival, Jace would be driving her to the airplane but instead of joining her, he would leave her to fly on her own. As they reached the entryway, Celine and Stephan walked up to her.

"Well then, Clarissa, I guess the next time I see you will be for the wedding." Stephan said and wrapped Clary in a hug. Clary smiled.

"I guess it will be. But from then on don't worry, I'll be here." She said with a laugh. Stephan kissed her cheek in a fatherly way before Celine came to hug her.

"I will miss having another woman in the palace." She said. Clary laughed again.

"Like I told Stephan, don't worry because I will be here forever after the wedding." Celine winked.

"You mean the honeymoon?" Clary blushed a bit and she heard Stephan snicker and Jace laugh.

"Come on, Love, we don't want to miss your flight." Jace said. Clary smiled at the two Herondale parents before walking outside with Jace towards the car.

The chauffeur already had the door opened for them and Clary went in first followed by Jace.

They stayed silent throughout the car ride. Clary's head was on Jace's shoulder, their hands were interlaced. Though the two remained silent, Clary didn't mind it. It wasn't an uncomfortable or awkward silence, just a calming silence.

When the car stopped Clary didn't want to get up. She had gotten use to Jace's daily presence and Clary would miss it. Clary smiled then and looked up at Jace as they got out of the car.

There was no paparazzi, it was just the two of them. Jace pulled her into a tight hug. Clary returned it.

"Why are you laughing?" He said into her hair.

"One year ago, I would be glad to leave your presence and now, I don't want to leave you." She said into his shirt. Jace kissed her jaw before pulling away but keeping her in the circle of his arms.

"I'll miss you but I'll see you soon. I love you." He said and kissed her softly. Clary pulled back and murmured, 'I love you too' back to him. Then Clary was sitting in the private plane that was her family's. Covered in the most luxurious of upholstery but Clary didn't feel like sleeping on it or sitting on it. She was completely alone and she hated that. Perhaps that was what she feared the most.

The plane ride was short, no longer than two hours, but it felt longer than normal. She didn't have her family or Jace in the plane and Simon would never be aloud in the plane no matter how hard she plead with her parents. Clary sighed and took out some paperwork she hadn't finished and her father would want.

oOoOo

Clary missed Jace already. But she missed her family more.

She took off running as gracefully as she could manage in the semi uncomfortable shoes she was wearing and launched herself into her father's arms first. He embraced her just as hard as she hugged him.

"I missed you so much Clarissa. I don't know how I am going to survive the budget and parliament meetings without you to mouth off Lord Jacobs." He said as he stepped back and smiled warmly at his daughter.

"I missed you too, dad." She simply replied, moving on to her mother who was smiling widely at her only daughter.

"Ma cherie, I can't believe you will be gone forever after these next two months." She said and pulled Clary into a tight hug. Clary smiled at her mother.

"But remember, its two months and I'll visit too. Or you can come to England, depends on the turns I guess." She remarked shyly. Clary hadn't honestly thought about how she was going to keep in touch with her family. Its not like the could drop everything and leave to visit Clary. They would if they could. Clary turned away from her mother and towards Jonathan who was wearing a casual pair of blue jeans and a polo shirt, his hands tucked into his pockets and his eyes tired. Clary wanted to wipe the tired look off of his face but she ran to him anyway and clung tightly to him. Jonathan held her just as tightly. Clary was his rock whether he had Camille or not.

"I'm not going to be able to live without you here." He said and Clary smiled sadly at her brother.

"You are going to bring my mood down with all this sad talk about me leaving." She said but kissed her brother on the cheek and excused herself to go change in her room.

Changing quickly into a pair of jodhpurs and a light coat, Clary ran to the stables where she knew Simon would be. He was and Clary jumped on her best friend several inches taller than her.

"Woah, Clary, hi." He said and hugged her back so her feet dangled off the ground. Clary let go and pushed back from Simon laughing before punching him in the shoulder. "Ow! Clary!" He said and straightened his glasses.

"That's for not telling me that you were with Isabelle now." She said. Simon had the decency to look sheepish but blushed and smiled despite Clary's pretend anger. Of course he knew that she was happy for him. Her smile was a dead give away.

"It just happened so fast and, wow, I just can't believe she's mine." He said.

"I thought you were over her." She said. Simon smiled wickedly.

"I might have lied."

"Pfft, your eyes never left her whenever she came by to ride with me." Simon shrugged.

"Also, since you can't believe that she's yours, how come you won't go to the state's with her?" Clary asked. Simon sighed.

"Clary, I'm a stable boy. Not a Duke, Prince, Lord, Earl, even just someone wealthy. I'm still in school while she's already done and having tea's with important ladies and saree's. We're the same age but from different worlds. I don't know if we can adapt both worlds into our relationship." He said. Clary sat down next to Simon.

"But until you push yourself out of your comfort zone, you won't know whether or not it'll work out. Izzy has done a lot to get together with you. She practically threatened her parents." Simon's eyes widened.

"I definitely shouldn't go then." He said. Clary laughed but got up and took a brush from a nearby bucket to brush Fray.

"Did you ride her?" Simon nodded.

"She was fine, probably because I'm always around her." Clary smiled and the two friends fell into a comfortable silence. Until Simon broke it.

"So, how are you and Golden Boy?" Clary gave him a crooked smile.

"I would have thought you would have seen the papers by now." Simon shrugged.

"I wanted to make sure you were okay. You never called, I had to ask Jonathan whenever he came down here to ride or play polo." He said.

"He actually played polo while I was gone?" Simon nodded.

"He must have been really stressed if he decided to use polo as a distraction." Simon laughed and Clary realized that Simon didn't know. Clary bit her lip.

"Can I tell you something that isn't actually my place to say?" Simon's eyebrows scrunched up together.

"Sure?" Clary breathed out.

"Jonathan is going to be a father." Simon's eyebrows shot up.

"A father? Who's the lucky lady." He said jokingly.

"I'm serious. Him and Camille are going to have a baby. But you can't tell anyone." She added quickly.

"I won't tell anyone, Clares. Don't worry." Clary sighed relieved and put the brush back in the bucket before feeding Fray a treat.

"She missed you." Clary stepped outside the stable to glance at the greenery and blue skies.

"I missed home too."

Clary is back in Switzerland! but not for looooongg.

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but, this story only has about five to six chapters left. Wow. That means I got six weeks to calm my feels.

Next chapter: Isabelle and other female's make an appearance. Can you guys guess what that means?

Next update: Most likely Friday, its still not written... oops. And I might work. Which sucks.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed and favorited and followed! God bless you for even opening the story up and giving it a chance.

Keep it up guys, you make my what seem like long days so much better.
