A/N: Caution! The end may make you a little mad and by a little I mean a lot. My beta is not too happy with me at the moment but it's understandable.

Greygirl2358: I will get you Raphael's point of view, trust me on this, I see how you want it really badly and its coming soon. Thank you for the luck by the way! I spent hours on them and made hundreds on all of them.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Mortal Instruments or the characters mentioned in terms of the book. Also, I have walking pneumonia and that sucks too.

Sebastian POV:

I sat on the uncomfortable, worn wooden bench as Isabelle and the bastard child walked out of the apartment building. He kept asking her questions, making her squirm at the little boys curiosity. I could tell he saw Jace and now that Isabelle and the child are walking toward the direction of her brother's apartment, he was alone with Clary. My blood boiled at the thought of him with what's supposed to be mine. He has no right to walk in and try to reconnect with the son he never knew he had. I knew that the boy existed and I was going to be the one that corrected the mistake of him being born in the first place. Soon, they will no longer exist.

As I stood up to walk towards my new destination, I could only shake my head in disappointment at the choice of Clary's friends. She was too blind to see that they were ruining her. She is not the same girl I knew in high school, the outgoing, sweet, and fierce girl I fell in love with. Instead, she is broken into pieces from something that shouldn't have happened. She could have choose me but yet she chose not to. I'll take her pain away and make her better again, I know I will. Jace could have lived if she only kept Kevin a secret but her stupid so called best friend had to ruin it for her. But alas, it will be much better to get rid of him so she has nothing to worry about. They all must go, every last one that took her away from me.

I pulled out my phone and dialed a familiar number. "Hello." I heard the deep, broad voice from the other end.

"It's me," I answered in return.

"Ah, Sebastian Verlac nice to hear from you again. What can I do for you?"

"Glad you know my motive for calling."

"Well, I'm pretty straight forward and I know I owe you a favor from our last exchange." I smile, knowing exactly what he's talking about.

"Dark times call for desperate measures and speaking of desperate measures, I have some things I am in need of disposal of."

I could hear the excitement in his voice as he answered. "Of course, don't we all? Knowing you though, this job won't be easy and painless so I'll get my best team together and we'll talk plan's."

"Meet me tomorrow morning at my place, remember where it is?"

"How could I forget? See you soon, Verlac." He hung up and I slipped my phone back into my pocket, walking to my apartment.

Yes, they will suffer and watch each other die a painful death. I laughed excitedly at the thought.

Clary POV:

It's finally over. Jace knows about Kevin and he didn't leave me or Kevin behind. For the first time in years I actually breathed a sigh of relief, stress free and relaxed. I couldn't help but have a grin on my face at the realization that I have Jace back for good this time.

"What are you grinning about?" Jace asked me while laying his head in my lap, looking up at me with a playful grin on his face.

"Nothing, this, us, everything." He lifted his hand and cupped my left cheek.

"I think we both deserve a minute of happiness, yeah?"

"Yes Jace, we really do." I grinned at him.

"Want to make this happiness a little better by going down the happy trail?" He smirked while biting his lip and wiggling his eyebrows.

"Ew Jace keep your inner thoughts to yourself," I gagged while lightly punching his arm.

"Ow don't break my arm I can't afford to loose this arm," he feigned hurt.

"Oh, and why is that?"

"Because a mans gotta get off somehow and this is my lucky hand so if you hurt my arm it lowers my chance of becoming relaxed." I brought my hands up and used them to cover my ears.

"Jesus Christ Jace thoughts to yourself!" He was laughing so hard that he fell off the couch and managed to smack his head on the floor.

"See? Now that's karma," I teased him.

"Oh, shut up." I giggled at his sneer. My phone vibrated letting me know I got a text so I quickly pulled it out and looked at it.

Izzy: We're on our way back is Jace still there

Me: Yes he is still here but I'm not sure he would want to meet Kevin today

Izzy: Well you better ask him. We're nearly a block away and Raphael is coming over later. He wasn't at the apartment but I called to let him know

I bit my lip nervously, unsure of what to do. Should I make Jace leave and come back another time or ask him if he wants to see him? After a few minutes of internally battling with myself I choose the latter.

"Jace, kevin and Izzy are about a block away," I cleared my throat. "Would you like to stay for a little while? I mean I completely understand if you don't want to it's just that-" He put his hand over my mouth to silence me.

"Of course I would like to stay. I want to meet him so bad it's killing me right now." I gently pulled his wrist from my mouth and kissed his knuckles.

"Thank you," I silently whispered. He came over to me and sat on his knees, positioning himself between my legs and kissing me on my forehead.

"No Clary, I should be the one thanking you." He stared so intensely into my eyes, I started to blush. He smiled, "I love it when you blush like that." His declaration made me blush harder. He chuckled at my endless embarrassment at the same time that Isabelle and Kevin walked in. Jace's laughter died out a little as Kevin ran up to me and gave me a hug, wrapping his arms around my legs because he wasn't quite tall enough to be any higher.

"Thank goodness we're back. Magnus sprayed glitter at me and it got up my nose!" He complained while ending on a little sneeze and I giggled at his protests. He turned toward Jace and held out his right hand, "You're Jace right? Izzy told me all about you and that you're her adoptive brother and that you and mommy are best friends. My name is Kevin." I looked over at Jace as he held out his hand and shook Kevin's with a big grin on his face.

"Yes, that's me." Kevin looked up at him in amazement.

"Wow, you're really tall. I hope I'm that tall one day." Jace chuckled.

"You will be one day just give it time." I was smiling at the bond they just created, hoping it would last. Kevin plopped down on the floor and propped his chin in his hand.

"What's wrong with you, sweetheart?" I asked him.

"Life," he answered. I couldn't contain myself, I was bursting out laughing along with Izzy and Jace.

"Hey! It's not funny!" Kevin said annoyingly.

"Now what did life ever do to you?" I asked Kevin after everyone stopped laughing.

He just sighed, "Nothing but short of everything." I just shrugged it off, knowing it was probably something he didn't want to tell me about until later when we were alone.

"Wow, for a five year old he sure knows a lot," Jace spoke up.

I laughed, "Did I forget to mention he is extremely smart?"

"Yes, you forgot to mention that important fact." Kevin stood up and put a hand over his heart.

"I'm touched," he said while smiling his five year old sarcastic smirk.

"Oh god, here we go," Isabelle said.

"Hey! He's sarcastic too!" Jace exclaimed while looking at me, a knowing look in his eyes.

"No, we are not starting this. Izzy, let's go into the kitchen for a second and start dinner." I walked over to Isabelle and pulled her along with me to the kitchen, leaving Kevin and Jace alone to spend some time together.

"Girl, that had to be the cutest thing when Kevin introduced himself. I almost died from all the feels."

"Yes, that was the most adorable thing wasn't it." I said posing it as a question but it came out more like a statement.

"I have a question," She said as I started to go towards the refrigerator, noticing we needed to go grocery shopping, bad.

"And what is your question?" I asked her, huffing that we were out of everything. Well looks like tonight is pizza night.

"What happened between you two when we were gone?" I blushed a little, knowing the moment me and Jace shared was everything I had needed and had been wishing would happen for the past few years. "I see, you two made up with a little more than just words, is that it?"

"Maybe," I mumbled trying to find the pizza place's number in my phone, glad that this was the perfect distraction not to have to look at her accusing glance. I quickly dialed the number and ordered two large pizzas and three two liter sodas. A Dr. Pepper for myself, Sprite for Kevin, and Coke for everyone else since I wasn't much of a fan of Coke. After I hung up I texted Raphael to pick it all up before he came over and took a big breath before looking up at Isabelle. Surprisingly enough, all the hatred was gone from her eyes and now she was looking at me with sympathy.

"Clary, whatever you do just be careful, okay?" I laughed off her worried words.

"Isabelle, I'm fine. Everything's fine and we'll be fine."

"You're making a bad decision and you know you are."

"And what is that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing," she sighed and shook her head, clearly not up to arguing with me at the moment. I just waked away from her, leaving her behind to sit by herself. What is her problem? I'm not doing anything wrong am I? As I approached the living room I could hear Kevin giggling so I slowed down and eavesdropped on their conversation.

"You play soccer too? That's so cool! You should come to one of my games and watch us play. Coach says I'm the best on the team and just the other day I scored two goals in a row!" Kevin said.

"You must be really good then squirt. Tell you what I'll go to your games and help you with practicing." I laughed silently at Jace's nickname for Kevin.

"You would do that? You're a professional and you would help a beginner like me?" I giggled quietly as it was hard for him to say the word 'professional.

"Of course I would. You said you were the best so it makes sense that I would help you. I was just like you when I was your age too and now I've gotten really good because I had a lot of help and encouragement." I smiled remembering how Robert used to teach him after he found out Alec wasn't interested in sports and Jace was. Even as we were little I would always go watch him practice and cheer for him at his games. I never missed a single one even if I was deathly sick.

"Can I come see you play sometime?" Kevin asked with adoration in his voice.

"As long as your mommy lets you." Jace said amused.

"Izzy said you play piano is that true?"

"Yes, I've played since I was four and I taught myself."

"I did too! Wow we have a lot in common. You have to be my long lost best friend I'm telling you."

"Long lost best friend eh? Okay, I'll agree to that. You play really good for a beginner, squirt."

"Thank you. I don't like anyone at my piano but my mommy though but since you play too I guess you could be an exception so you can play it anytime you want." I smiled at the generosity in Kevin's voice.

"Sound's good squirt." I chose this time to walk into the living room and tackled Kevin on the floor to tickle him senseless. When I eventually stopped I looked at Jace, lying on his stomach propped up on his elbows with a huge smile on his face that I knew and loved that made my heart twist and thump in my chest.

"So how'd it go?" I asked while sitting down and pulling Kevin into my arms and he gladly cuddled up to my chest.

"Me and Jace have so much in common! He plays the piano and he's a professional soccer player and he said he would help me and come to my games and that I could go to his!" I giggled at him as he stumbled over the word 'professional' again.

"Sounds like a plan little man." Jace got a text message and read it, huffing as he replied.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"Alec needs me to come over for something."

"Will you come back tomorrow?" Kevin asked.

"I'll try squirt," He said while ruffling his hair and winking at me, making me blush again.

"If you want to come tomorrow you'll need to come to Taki's because I have to work days tomorrow and no one will be here," I told Jace before he left.

"What time does your shift start?"

"Seven."

"I'll be there," he said before walking out the door to go to Alec, Magnus, and Raphael's apartment. Kevin started bouncing in excitement probably planning out what he was going to do with Jace tomorrow. Hopefully Jace would show up but I shouldn't doubt. The way he was talking and acting about Kevin it seemed he didn't want to leave anytime soon.

I got Kevin off me and walked into my bathroom to take a hot shower. After I was done I looked in the mirror and touched the smile on my face that only Jace could have put there. When I walked out, dressed, refreshed and hungry, I saw Raphael on the bed with his hands in his lap.

"Oh hey, you're here." He looked up at me with a forced smile. "What's wrong?" I asked.

He let out a long breath before answering, almost as if he had to tell me something bad. "It's about you and Jace."

I quickly got defensive, "What about us?" First Izzy and now him? What am I missing?

"What happened today Clary and don't leave out a single detail." I sighed and told him the whole story from when Raphael left until he got back.

"She's right you know," he spoke up as I finished. "You need to be more careful than you're being."

"What are you guys talking about? Why do I need to be so careful about this? Everything's perfect!"

"That's exactly what I mean; it's perfect, too perfect if you ask me. He finds out he has a son and he handles it with hugs and kisses like nothing's wrong? I mean, to tell you the truth, if I was given information like that I wouldn't blame myself for the whole thing, I would blame her." I looked at him with realization crashing over me but surprisingly enough, I wasn't hurt almost like I already knew what was really happening but didn't register it until he told me.

"Your right, I'm so stupid for not being more careful."

"You're not stupid Clary," he knelt down in front of me, pulling my hands from my face. "Don't ever think that you are stupid just because you fell for the Wayland charm. He can be very persuasive on the ladies and you of all people should know that." I laughed at his attempt to make me feel better, it worked. "Now I'm not telling you to give up on him or run away again, I'm just saying be cautious and take baby steps on this and you know exactly what those look like."

"Oh shut up, you do too." I said, he chuckled and kissed my forehead.

"You're right, I do. Now get your cute little ass up and come eat I'm starving."

"Alright, I'll be right there I just have something to do first." He nodded in understanding and left me alone in my room.

I walked over to my mirror and saw a fierce expression in my eyes. I raised up my chin and straightened my posture and announced, "I Clary Fray, from this day forward, will never let Jace Wayland get the best of me ever again." There, I said silently to myself, he will not be a dictator of my heart anymore. I walked down the stairs with hatred of what is Jace Wayland and his charming ways.

I walked up to Raphael and hugged him from behind and he turned around to kiss me on the forehead but I quickly stopped him. "No, I can't do this anymore." He looked sincerely hurt by my words.

"Look, if this is about what I said earlier-"

"This isn't about what you said, this is about me. For some reason just knowing that Jace could be doing this on purpose didn't make me heartbroken and I realized I moved on. You helped me move on and nothing made me hurt worse than seeing you broken and worried about me."

I saw a small smile form on his lips, "Clary, for the past few years I've tried to be everything for you. I tried to help you pick up the pieces of your broken heart, I tried to be the father Kevin deserves, I tried to be the one that could make you smile when you were sad but most of all, you were the one that helped me. I love you so much and I want to have to honor of having your heart so will you be my girlfriend Clary?"

I looked into his eyes as he spoke those caring words and portrayed his love for me. I couldn't help but almost cry. This whole time, I really did have someone other than Jace to keep me going. I had someone other than Jace that could actually make me feel better. I knew I loved Raphael and Jace both but only one could be it for me right now. I knew exactly who that was and it made my heart throb a little on the inside at the realization but I quickly composed myself. I knew who I needed and who Kevin really needed so I looked into his eyes to tell him my answer.

"Yes, I would be honored to be your girlfriend."

A/N: *Runs and hides* Okay, now if a few of you are angry at me then that's okay, I'm a little angry at myself to be honest but there's a reason! Though right now that reason may make you so ticked off at me right now you want to kill me but that's okay! I deserve a punch in the face for multiple reasons other than that cliffhanger, for instance, if you read my disclaimer then you know I have walking pneumonia and that is true but you're probably thinking why this effect not posting the chapter? Well I've been putting off going to the doctor for two weeks now thinking that this will go away and it's only a cold but my mom literally dragged me out of school to take me. My asthma got really tied into it and they put me on really strong medicine and let's just say, I was out of it for a few days. I had to make up three days' worth of school and the day I went back, we left early for another freak snow storm and I got to come home so I wrote the chapter, sent it to my beta, and here I am! My nephew also caught my walking pneumonia and he hasn't been treated yet so that is another problem in my life right now but what makes me really mad about this is I wasn't supposed to get walking pneumonia again for a while since I had it in November but the doctors were wrong! Okay, enough of that, I should be good to get back into my habit of posting again more often but the earliest would be Tuesday so be looking out for it! Again, I'm so so sorry please forgive me? I love you all!
