"Do you sometimes think, we pressure Clarys to much?" Jace asked Izzy. They were in the trainings room after Jace had watched the girls absolving their parapateitraining. Clary already went ahead, hitting the shower.

"I mean she just got back from living a mundane life. She quit her art school and next week you'll have your parapatei ceremony already."

"Did she say anything to you that she didn't want to be my parapatei anymore? Or that she maybe want to wait a little?"

"No she didn't. It's just that Luke mentioned something that there was much on her plate right now. I don't know if I should talk to her and ask. I don't want to let her think that it would be a bad idea. You two already are like sisters. It seems like you two are born to be parapatei. I just don't know if she's already settled enough for it."

"So you still support us in this?"

"Yes of course!"

"Thanks. I think I needed to hear that. Sometimes I'm so excited about it and the next time I'm worried that I would fail as parapatei. Sometimes I'm so nervous that I can't sleep, and Simon isn't helping with that."

Jace lifted his eyebrows disgustedly "Izzy I don't want to know what you do with Simon at night, when you don't sleep!"

Izzy rolled her eyes "It's him worrying that he'd would kind of have sex with Clary through me, once we're parapatei. He doesn't understand it."

Jace looked at her struggling with himself

"Shell I talk to him? Maybe I can explain things to him better, since I already am a parapatei to someone."

"You'd really do that?!"

"I don't like the idea of talking to him about his sexlife, but yeah, I would do it."

"Great thanks!"


As predicted, Jace didn't like it, but in the end of their conversation, Simon was a lot less worried. Especially after Jace told him that it was the first time after year's, that it happened to them.

So the day came. Today Clary and Izzy would become parapatei.

"Are you nervous?" Jace asked his girlfriend

"Yes but more exited! I hadn't thought that would happen. If you'd asked me two weeks ago I would have told you vampires and werewolves are fiction, but today we'll get another rune drawn on our skin by holding a stick above it. And that rune will connect Iz and me. I mean if we'd tell that to a mundane he'd think we'd be nuts. "

"So your ready?" "Yes I am. I already was the last time, so yes."

"I'm really happy for you. I love you"

"I love you too"


They both stood in the circle of of fire.

"Entreat me not to leave thee,

Or to return from following after thee—

For whither thou goest, I will go,

And where thou lodgest, I will lodge.

Thy people will be my people, and thy God my God.

Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried.

The Angel do so to me, and more also,

If aught but death part thee and me."

After the ceremony was done they looked at each other and had to giggle like schoolgirls. They couldn't help. The own emotions mixed with the others... It just was to overwhelming to stay calm. Jace

And Alec were the first who congratulated them. Simon took a little longer, since he didn't know when the ceremony was finished but he went as soon as her brothers let him.

Just after he had hugged them both, some other shadowhunter came in.

"Hey, sorry to interrupt, but there is an attack! I think we really could use all help we can get!"

They didn't have to be told twice

"Let's see how we work as real parapatai!"


They returned late in the night. It nearly was morning already. So Izzy could convince Simon staying over for the day.

Since he already was different than the other vampires, due to his daylighter status and boyfriend of the head of the institute, he didn't sleep over often. Since he moved in with the clan, he spent most days there, even when he could go outside.

Jace and Clary went to his room.

Clary had a few things of her already there.

"I really need a shower." "yeah me too, but you can go first if you want."

"Why do you want to wait? Just join me. It isn't like you haven't already seen me naked." She grinned at him confused

"I thought maybe you were tired. It's different when you're joined with your parapatei. At first it is a little more exhausting... "

"Not that exhausted"

"OK, if you're sure." He came grinning to her. They started kissing, while going to the bathroom and removing clothes at the same time. In the shower they soaped each other in. After they shut it off, Jace just put one towel around his hips and took one to rubb Clary the water off the boddy. While still kissing, they came back in the bedroom, still naked. They went to the bed, touching and caressing each other. Jace stood behind her travelling with his hand slowly over her breast down while he pressed his cock at her back. When he reached his destination, her core, he slid one finger in her. "hm you're wet. I didn't dry you well enough..." she had to giggle about that comment "not that kind of wet" "yeah that wasn't the shower" "at least not the water of the shower."

He took his wet finger and circled around her clit, very slowly

"hmf... Jace please" she reach behind her and stroke his dick to get him move faster

"So impatient... What will I do with you..."

"Jace please!!!" he started to move his finger a little faster, what Clary rewarded with moaning and moving in his hand.

"I wanna taste you. Please lay down." she obliged and layed down on the bed. Her butt at the end of it and her legs stood on the floor. She spread them wide, so Jace could easily kneel between them and had a beautiful few at her inner core. He slowly kissed up her inner thighs enjoying her squirming from excitement and lust. When he reached his goal, he blew against her clit, what was rewarded with a moan from her. He kissed her and licked over her opening. He pushed his middle and ringfinger in her. While caressing her clit with his tongue he started to move them slowly in and out

"Oh Jace! Yes!"

"Please come for me!"

He wanted to see her coming first before taking her with his cock. He planned on letting her come twice today. It didn't take long and Clarys inner muscles started to tremble "yes baby, right like that, let go" with that she was over the cliff. Jace had to control himself not following only by watching.

He let her take her breath while getting a condom out of his nightstand and rolling it over his penis. He got back to her and pulled her with his hands under her arms up in the bed, so he could climb in and position himself above her. He kissed her neck down to her breasts. While she had her hands on his back moving slowly down "Please Jace! I want you in me. Please!"

He didn't have to hear that twice. He slowly entered her wet core. Since she already had come, his penis easy went in. She still was tight around him, so he had to take a moment before start moving. It felt wonderful!

When he noticed, that he was close, he wanted to help Clary with his finger, but she stopped him "I don't think I need it... I..." with that, her muscles tighten around him, what drove him over the edge too. He collapsed, but remembered rolling them sideway before, so he wouldn't lay on her with his whole weight.

After a few breaths he kissed her on her forehead and removed the condom.

When he came back in bed, Clary snuggled against him and mumbled "Maybe I am a little tired after all" That convession made him chuckle. He put the comforter over them and whispered "Sleep well, I love you" "ilovyoutoo" with that, Clary was fast asleep.


They slept for several hours until noon. After getting up and dressed, they went getting something to eat. They met Isabelle on the way there. "Good morning! Where did you leave Simon?" "Good morning you two! He's still asleep. Since he lives with the vampires he nearly sleeps all day."

Jace already had gotten his food and went to a free table. So Clary whispered to Izzy "I hope it wasn't uncomfortable for you. I mean... "

"No, why should it have been? What do you think we did alone in my room?" They both had an mischievous smile on their faces when they joined Jace at the table.

"What are you two grinning at?" "Nothing!" came unison

Izzy thought 'I have to convince Simon to stay over more often. That was incredible how our lust multiplied'

Today they would learn how to control the emotions they shared with their parapatai. At first it didn't went that well. Maybe cause they both thought about how great it was last night. When Jace pation came to an end he whispered to Clary "If you don't concentrate and really want to do this, we can't have sex, when Isabelle isn't with Simon!" He had a suspicion why it wouldn't work between them.

His words did the trick. Clary suddenly could control herself very well. After she achieved the goal, Izzy couldn't stay behind and concentrated more, so she'd control it too.


One week later, Clary went to talk to Izzy.

"Hey, you're alright?"

"Yeah... Izzy, are there many female parapatai?"

"There are a few who have a male parapatai. Why do you ask? Do you regret it already?!"

"What?! No!... It's just... I have a question.. A very intimate one"

"Already tired of Jace? You know parapatai can't be romantic with each other" Izzy couldn't help but grinn

"No! Izzy please I'm serious. I mean we share emotions and all with each other and all... Do we share hormones too?"

"I don't understand what you mean by that." She was clearly confused.

"I mean... Does our cycles maybe sync?"

"pardon?!"

"I'm late... Already 5 days, so I thought maybe it's cause..."

Izzy gaped at her in shock.

"That wouldn't be the cause... I have to admit I didn't realised it till now you told me, but I'm late too. We already have been syncron."

"So pregnancy tests for both of us?"

"Yeah, I think that would be best"

"I didn't know that Simon could... I mean yes he can do it but I mean... He's a vampire. Can vampires impregnate.."

"I didn't think so, that's why we didn't use birth control anymore!... What about you and Jace. I know before he met you he was very careful in that department. He got once reprimanded by my mother. After that..."

Clary thought about it. They always used a condom... Except the first night, when she got her memories back.

"If I'm really pregnant... Than from the first night he was at my apartment...or the morning after in the shower..."

"Oh! I don't need to know the details! Do you think we should tell them before we go and buy the tests?"

"No! I think it's better if we first find out what's going on."


They both had peed in cups and sat now, after dipping the test each in her sample, in Izzys room waiting for the results.

"How can 10 minutes be so long?!"

"I don't know!"

They looked in shock at the test results. Right at this time, Simon and Jace had finished their training and had come to them. They went straight into the room without knocking.

"Hey... What are you doing there?!"

The girls both answered in disbelief "I'm pregnant!"

It was very quiet in the room.

After a few seconds Jace shut the door and went straight to Clary. "I'm sorry I forgot to bring a condom that night." He took her in his arms and hugged her tight.

"One wouldn't have been enough. And it isn't your fault alone." they both looked at each other.

Clary cleaned up her urine sample and went with Jace to her room. "I think we should give them some space figuring things out too."
