A/N; Hello everyone! Thank you for your reviews again! I'm sorry I left you all on that cliff-hanger! I just love doing that ;) Oh yes, listen to Cold Arms by Mumford & Sons and Blame It on My Youth by Jamie Callum! They remind me of Will and Tessa!

P.s, I nearly cried writing Henry's part /3 –HerondaleThoughts xx

Tessa's POV

The first thing Tessa heard was music. Sweet, blissful music that melted through the institute. She felt as though she were in a dream, floating over clouds and swimming in the stars. She found herself at the entrance of the infirmary, she knew the music anywhere. Jem. She stood and listened, she saw two heart breaking sights. Jem, playing his violin for his parabati in hope to bring him back from the line of death he was dancing upon and Will. Her husband lying so still it was unnerving. She couldn't make herself go in to be next to Will but she couldn't make herself leave either. She stood there watching and listening

You did this the night we first met, stood at my door to listen to my playing, Jem's kind voice calmed her mind. She wiped her eyes quickly

"And Will said that the cats would arrive soon because it was so bad" Tessa was sure she heard Jem chuckle fondly at the memory

He always hated my playing, well, secretly he enjoyed it. When he wanted to, we would sit in the library…he would read and I would play

"That sounds so beautiful," she whispered

It's nice to have those memories.

"J-Jem, he's going to be alright isn't he?" Jem hesitated before he answered

There was a lot of poison in his body, his fever was worryingly high and I've only managed to get it down. He was delirious, I drew a sleeping rune on him to try and settle him down. It worked, but as I said, there was a lot of poison in him

"But he will survive? He'll come back to us?"

Tessa, he will never leave you. He would never do such a thing. You and Jamie are his world and to leave you would be like suicide for him

"I hope you're not talking about me, James" the voice was groggy and hoarse. It was barely above a whisper but Tessa could tell who it was straight away. She covered her mouth to stop herself crying, Jem chuckled though

Never would I dream of talking about you behind your back, William

"Good, good. I wouldn't like that" he whispered. He rubbed his eyes and coughed slightly, Jem held a bucket next to him to allow him to cough up the bile in his lungs. Tessa turned her head, this was to be expected. Will was a Shadowhunter for goodness sake! He was going to get demon poisoning all the time. But this was her Will. Her sweet Will, her Will that's heart was too big for good. She felt tears run away from her eyes, it killed her to see him like this

"Tess…." He whispered, he choked a little "Tess, go check on Jamie" she nodded and hurried out of the room. She hurried to her sons room and cradled her child in his arms, his liquid gold eyes that shone so brightly. She kissed his head and cried as she held him, what would she do if Will couldn't overcome this demon poisoning? She would lose everything. She would lose her world.

Henry's POV

Henry had always considered himself a good man. He was loyal, he didn't lie and he ate his greens when Charlotte asked him too. What upset him though, was hearing that Will was suffering. Will was like a son to him, one of those pesky sons that always were going through the rebellious stage. Henry sat in his little office and scratched his head, Jem was with Will now so everything was alright. Ah, Will and Jem, he thought. Such a loyal bond between them. He looked at his papers and stood up, pacing the space and rubbing his nose

"Henry dear?" he heard Charlotte's warm voice. He jumped slightly, looking round at her and smiling "Charlotte, are you alright?"

"I'm alright, are you though?" Henry looked at her and for some reason he was not aware of, he pulled her into a hug, resting his head on her shoulder, the warmth and comfort she offered him

"Henry, please, what's wrong?" she whispered gently, kissing his temple

"I worry for them" Charlotte drew back and looked at him sadly, she understood

"I-I worry that Will might go too far someday, or that he'll lose himself. I worry that I won't be able to help him if he does"

"Oh Henry," she sighed. She kissed his forehead and hugged him again

"Will, Will was upset for a while…that's why we came back, to help him run the Institute"

"But now look at him, he's on his deathbed from demon poisoning. He isn't there, Charlotte, he's only half there" Charlotte bit her lip

"You know why he's like that Henry" the ginger nodded sadly and sniffed slightly

"Because he doesn't have a parabati anymore"

"But he has Tessa, and little James. You like James don't you?" Henry nodded

"He's his father's son" Charlotte smiled at him

"There, see? Will does have people now. Just because one person leaves you, doesn't mean you're completely alone" Henry hugged Charlotte again. They stayed like for some time, Charlotte rubbing Henry's back and holding him gently. She knew that Henry worried, and Henry knew that Charlotte was understanding when he went wandering. When his mind no longer wanted to function normally, and when he went strolling into a daydream. She always stayed beside him until he came back down to earth

"Henry, they'll be ok. They've come through so much already haven't they? They are strong, Henry, they're so strong and they have each other"

"C-Charlotte, I want to help them"
"Oh Henry" she hugged him tightly, keeping him close to her, she kissed the back of his head

"I-I want them to know they aren't alone. I want to show the Clave that I can do something! I want to just to make you proud" Henry felt tears brimming his eyes. He had let so many people down already, but Charlotte had took him and helped him become what he needed to be; he heard a quote 'The measure of love, is to love without measure' and he loved Charlotte and Will and Tessa and anyone who stayed under the Institute. He sniffed

"Excuse me," he whispered, he hurried out of the room and out into the midnight air and then he felt it round him, an impact of air

"You aren't alone, Henry" the voice whispered, he sobbed openly and smiled at the voice

"I'm never alone, Jessie"

"Will's better now, Jem is taking care of him"

"And Tessa?"

"Asleep with little James" Henry nodded and smiled at the ghost

"I always cared for you, Jessamine"

"And secretly I loved you for it" Henry laughed gently, wiping his tears away

"Oh Jessamine, you shouldn't have died as you did" he heard a noise, a whimper almost

"Henry, I found peace. You need to remember that"

"Did I let you down?" he whispered. He could make out Jessamine shaking her head

"Never, never did you let me down"

"I tried my best to protect you"

"And you did, you did it so well. But Henry, sometimes…sometimes we just have to accept that the best we give isn't good enough" he looked at her, a little confused by what she said so she continued gently "Sometimes, no matter how hard we try. We are always going to let someone down. Intentional or not, it happens and the craft of human nature is to accept that," Jessamine touched Henry's cheek softly and smiled at him

"But Henry Branwell, you have never let anyone down. Not me, or Charlotte or Will or Jem. And I doubt that will change, because you try so hard that you are the most courageous human being I know with the purest of hearts" Henry looked up at her, a chuckle escaping him

"Jessamine, when did you get to be so smart?"

"Death changes us, sometimes for better and sometimes for worst"

"I think even in living, secretly, you were a true person" Jessamine smiled

"You should go back Henry, Charlotte is worried about you"

"Goodnight Jessamine"

"Goodnight Henry" Henry stood up and bowed, when he opened the institute doors he made a silent vow, he was going to get things back to normal. No matter how hard he had to try, he would help Will become happy again and he would help Tessa parent James. No matter what, Henry was going to make the institute a family again.

((GO HENRY GO!))
