A/N: Well I got this out way faster than I expected but I really wanted to since school starts back on Tuesday for me. Now I understand how you're confused but that was what I wanted. I didn't want to reveal Clary's boyfriend you will just have to wait to see if it was Sebastian or Jace ;). I know, I'm evil. Thank you for adding me to your alerts and favorites and thank you for reviewing. I didn't expect this much people to like this story to be honest. As for the guest greygirl2358 I really wanted to respond to you because I know how you feel. I get carried away a lot too. The other guest death2luv your review made me laugh so hard I was crying. Anyways, hope you like this chapter!

5 years later

Clary was sitting in the living room of her and Isabelle's apartment drawing a picture of her son. He was an exact replica of his dad except for his nose and his mouth. He was so tall and very, very smart. She trusted him more than she has ever trusted anyone in her life. Sometimes, it hurts to look at him and remember what she lost five years ago but she also sees what she gained. It was a very difficult situation.

Her son, Kevin, never questioned about why he never had a dad and where his dad was. Honestly, she didn't know where he was. She didn't really want to know either. Kevin had a lot of friends and me and Isabelle expected this considering his outgoing but shy personality. He was only five and he acted much older. Clary was a very proud mother.

"Mommy, we have to leave for practice soon and Carson said that his mom was bringing pizza for later so I'm going to have to go." Clary looked up from her drawing to see her son in his track shorts and Under Armor shirt with his soccer bag casually over his shoulder and his ball under his arm. She sighed, shaking with silent laugher at how much older he looked.

"Yes Kevin, I know you have practice just give me a minute and we'll leave, okay?" I asked, getting up from the chair I was sitting in.

"Okay and mommy?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you," he looked at me with his warm eyes and such love that I almost cried. I don't know what I would do without my son.

"I love you too, Kevin," I said while kissing his forehead and headed to my bedroom. I still remember the day we looked at the apartment when me and Isabelle knew this was the one. The apartment is on the top floor of our building and even though it was the pent house, it was cozy and comfortable. It has four bedrooms and five bathrooms, cherry wood floors that carry everywhere throughout the apartment except for the bathrooms, and a balcony.

Right when you walk in the door you are led down a short hallway that has an arched entrance to the small dining room which is open to the kitchen. As you continue down the hallway you are led to the spacious living room with a separate powder room and a huge window looking over New York. The living room is open to the kitchen with stainless steel appliances and white with dark stained cabinets. The kitchen also has French doors leading to a small balcony with enough room for two outdoor chairs and a table.

On the opposite end of the living room there is a very short hallway that has four doors and a window at the end letting in more natural light. The first one on the left is Isabelle's room, across the halls is mine, next to mine is Kevin's, and across from his is the guest bedroom. All of the bedrooms have a bathroom and a walk-in closet. We didn't need the guest room but we have it for just in case.

When Isabelle told her parents that she wasn't going to go to Harvard, her parents were furious. She eventually lied and told them she wanted to travel the world and see new places. Being the parents they are, they supported their daughter and gave her enough money to start her off. That was enough to pay off the apartment right away and five months' rent. She never kept in touch with them but I kept in touch with my parents. They don't know about Kevin but they do know I'm living in an expensive apartment with a roommate so they send in money every month. Life is good.

As soon as I got to my room I put my sketchpad away in my nightstand, and grabbed my purse and my iPhone. After quickly checking myself in floor to ceiling mirror I had in my closet I decided my blue jeans and blue polo was going to be fine since I had to go to work after soccer. I finished collage but I never got a degree and I work at Taki's, a small restraint in the upper west side of Manhattan. Izzy did the same thing so we could both work together. It pays the bills so I can't complain.

I hurriedly ran out of my room, putting on my gray Vans, and went into the living room to get Kevin. As soon as I walked in I saw him playing the piano like he always does when he knows something's bothering me. I smiled and walked over silently as to not disturb him. I softly put my hand on Kevin's shoulder to let him know I was there. He eventually finished the beautiful piece and turned around and looked in my eyes.

"mommy, I'm sorry that you feel bad. I'm always here for you though. Me and Izzy both." At this point I had tears rolling down my cheeks while I held my son and I told him how much I loved him and how much he meant to me. He was a blessing for sure and he was a surprise that had a positive impact on my life.

"Kevin, we need to go so we can get to practice. You're going to be late," I told him. "But after that we have to go to Taki's. Me and Izzy have the night shift tonight."

"Okay, good, is Simon coming? I sure hope so; he has a most of my comics!" I laughed at his frustration. I was an extreme nerd growing up with all the gaming and comics but I never had anyone to share it with. A couple months ago, Simon walked in to Taki's with a comic in hand, glasses on, and his hair dark disheveled. I immediately knew we would be good friends and we were. Simon loved Kevin and Kevin views Simon as a big brother. They always share comics and play games together and I love to watch Kevin have such an interest in something that I was also interested in. It's really good for Kevin to have someone to look up to. Recently though, Isabelle has been talking about Simon a lot and I'm pretty sure they have a crush on each other. That would be so cute.

Kevin quickly picked up his bag and his soccer ball, ushering me out the door, breaking me out of my train of thought.

"Mom, let's go! Let's go! Let's goo!"

"Okay, okay," I opened the door and watched Kevin press the button on the private elevator that was with our apartment. I stood beside him waiting on the elevator to come up since Izzy used it this morning to go shopping. Of course she did. Getting on the elevator I noticed how tall he really was. he was more than half my height and was really strong from his endless soccer practice he's been doing lately. He definitely didn't get his height from my side of the family that's for sure.

Before I knew it we were in the subway on our way to the park where the boys practice. There were so many people that creeped me out in New York, especially on the subway, but after a while you get used to it. I looked over to make sure Kevin was okay and noticed him flirting with an adorable rosy cheeked, brunette girl. She looked around his age and she reminded me a little of myself. Of course Kevin would flirt with her; he's trying to break her out of her shell. That's exactly what his father did to me when we were little.

I immediately put my hair in a bun when we got out of the subway and into the hot, humid air of the summer. New York was extremely hot with all the people and cars and buildings. At first, I was holed up in my room, pregnant with Kevin, for the first year here but then got used to the fact that this was what I wanted when I came here. I got over it.

Kevin spotted his team and quickly jogged over to warm up. Thank the angel we weren't late. I took a spot on the bleachers and pulled out my phone so I could text Raphael and tell him to be here when practice ended. I know I wanted to keep Kevin a secret but two years ago, he dropped in unexpectedly when he wanted to see how I was doing since I didn't keep in touch. When he saw Kevin he was shocked but quickly got pissed off after he realized who's Kevin's dad was. After two hours of exploding about how he was going to "kill the son of a bitch" he calmed down and held Kevin while promising he would help. Raphael was like a father to Kevin. He always looked out for him but we kept our relationship as friends. We never really wanted more and that was fine to me.

He had an apartment fairly close to ours; about five blocks away and he shared it with Alec and Magnus. As soon as Raphael found out about Kevin he told us that they were in town with him because those three were always really close together. Alec and Magnus loved to take Kevin out and go places around New York, shopping was normally number one but that was more Magnus than Alec. They all promised to keep everything a secret and after a while they went under the radar like me and Isabelle. I looked down and noticed that I had a text from Raphael.

Raphael: Do you have to work later?

Me: Yes Izzy and I have the night shift are you going to stay?

Raphael: Most likely I will. Alec and Magnus are really grossing me out

Me: Really? Who would have thought sharing an apartment with a gay couple would mean they actually want to have fun together

Raphael: You're disgusting just shut up I'm going to puke

Me: Sorry I just had to say it

Raphael: I'm on my way right now

Me: Okay their almost finished. Izzy said Simon's going to be at Taki's later

Raphael: Are they ever going to realize that they like each other?

Me: Probably not

I was about to text him again and ask him where he was when he walked up behind me.

"You know, you look so interested in your phone that you'd think that that thing was your new boyfriend." I turned around and glared at him.

"Well considering I was texting you, then does that mean we're together?" I paused for a second and said, "Hello dear, what's for dinner? I was thinking we could have a little take-out then do a have pillow talk," I smirked.

"No, Magnus and Alec first and now you? God help me." I loved picking on him sometimes. After being with Alec and Magnus for so long he promised that he would never get in another relationship again. I don't really believe that but after Kevin I probably won't either. He's all I need to be happy. As I turned around to watch the practice I noticed Kevin scored two goals in a row before the time ran out, putting his team in the win. He ran over to me and Raphael with so much excitement that it put a huge smile on my face.

"Mommy mommy did you see that?! Two in a row! That was so awesome!"

"I know baby, I saw you, you did amazing but you better go get your pizza we have to go soon." He bounced over to the table that was set up and accepted his congratulations from Carson's mom. Carson leaned in to tell Kevin something before letting him come back to us.

"What was that about Kevin?" I asked.

"Carson wants me to spend the night with him tomorrow."

"Well, do you want to?"

"I don't know," he said slowly.

"Why don't you know?"

"Because I don't want to leave you mommy, I know you'll have Izzy but I don't want you to be sad that I'm gone." I laughed at this knowing he was only being silly at this point.

"Go tell Carson's mom that I said you can spend the night and then come right back we really have to go." He rushed over, told Carson's mom and ran right back saying that we should leave soon because we don't want Simon to wait too long. I rolled my eyes at that. Boys.

"Kevin, you're adorable sometimes you know that?" Raphael said.

"Yeah, I know, am I so cute or what?" I was still laughing when all three of us were walking into Taki's. Raphael and Kevin went into the back room to go find Simon. That was the good thing about this place, not many people knew that in the back there was a room with a couch, a computer, and a 60 inch T.V. It was perfect for when I had to work nights.

A few seconds later Izzy stormed in through the bathroom door looking flushed, already in her uniform.

"Izzy, I didn't know you got here early." She ignored my question and said the one thing I didn't want to hear at the moment.

"Clary," she took a breath. "We have a problem."

A/N: Okay, now what do you think? I know I add a lot of details but sometimes I think that they're necessary. I wasn't particularly happy with this chapter but I guess it will do. I accidentally uploaded it without putting in my author notes so sorry about that. I obviously changed it. I will try to get another chapter out soon but tell me what you think! Most of this comes from the fact that I have a five year old nephew that lives with me and my parents. Some of the things he said came from him as I was typing it and plus, he plays soccer too. Review and tell me what you think! I'm going crazy at how I think this chapter was missing something.
