Clary cupped her hand over her mouth trying to hold back the tears. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Jace, he was here. She could touch her. He smiled ,walked up to her and wiped the tears gently from her eyes.

"Hi baby." He whispered.

She wrapped herself up in his arms and he held her tight. He was here! Actually here! And that was all that mattered.

She pulled away to look at his face and let out a little sob. He was here!

"Shhh Clary, your okay." Jace said as he pulled her to him again.

"I know." She hiccupped. "You're here!"

He chuckled a little bit. "I didn't know it would make you this happy to see me."

"I didn't know if you'd actually come back."

"I'll always come back." He whispers leaning his forehead against hers.

She looks up when she hears the sound of clinking heels. Her mom had just arrived home.

"Oh Jace," She began "You're early."

"My flight was delayed by two hours."

Clary's mother exhaled. "Well I guess I'm the one who's late."

Her mother led them inside into the kitchen table. Clary already didn't like where this was going.

"I'm just here to set the ground rules seeing the age difference between the two of you." She turns to Jace. "If I even suspect that you two are having sex you won't be allowed to see her until she's sixteen. Once she's sixteen she can make her own decisions of what she wants to do. You will NOT pressure her to so anything she doesn't want to and..."

This went on forever. Clary had learned to tune her mother out and she just stared at Jace. He was so perfect.

"Clary?" He asked.

"Hmmm?" She hummed

"You coming?" Jace asked.

"Ya."Clary said and she got up out of her chair. She hadn't seen her mom leave.

"Where'd she go?" She asked Jace.

"She had to go back to work."

Clary rolled her eyes and made her way up the stairs. Ever since Jonathan went to jail all her mom had been doing was working.

Once Clary got upstairs she flung herself on her bed and Jace laid down next to her.

"Should we talk about it?" He asked and pulled her close.

She shook her head.

He sighed. "Before I leave were talking about it. Okay, Clary?"

She nodded weakly. "Okay."

Jace sat up just enough so he could peak her lips. "Where am I taking you tonight?" He asked.

"To the Karaoke Bar. I wanna sing." She smiled.

He gripped her waist and rolled her so she was laying on top of him. "That sounds absolutely wonderful." He said.
