Clary POV

My hand went to my stomach, and I could feel no movement. "Isabelle," I called, my voice cracking slightly, "Come here for a se-" I had to stop midsentence to moan in pain, my head felt like it was on fire, and my stomach felt like something heavy was putting all it's weight on it, and pushing as hard as hell. I yelled in pain. I knew this wasn't labour, as I'd been through it, twice before, once with Jace's kids, and another with one of Nate's. It was worthless as the child was born dead.

"Clary!" Alec and Isabelle yelled, rushing to my side. I clutched my bulging stomach and looked at Isabelle with large, frightened eyes.

"Isabelle.." I whispered, "If I don't make it-"

"Don't you dare say that Clary! Don't you dare!" Isabelle's hand locked on to mine. "Three quaters of the guard is looking for Magnus." She whispered. "Luke's managed to rally four packs, and get them to form a alliance with his. All to save you Clary. All to save you."

I gave another yelp and let tears run freely down my face. Alec and Isabelle had been through alot with me. When Jace went missing, we comforted each other, until the pain passed. Then when Magnus went, just as we finally, finally though we had a lead on finding Jace, we had to comfort Alec. Then when Maryse and Robert died along side many others in a battle against a whole nest of greater demons, I had to comfort both, Alec and Isabelle.

"Yes Clary," Alec was hastily drawing advanced healing runes on my stomach, "We need you. Jace will need you when he comes back. We," He said, looking directly into my eyes, "need you."

I felt my heart pang. It wasn't just my pa- ex, it was his too.

I cried out again, and whispered, "I don't know how long I can take this for.."

Jace POV

"What do you mean your dying Jace?" Magnus demanded, "You have a frickin rune which keeps you healthy!" He yelled.

"Clary's in trouble." I said, pulling my knees to my chest. I hugged, them closer to me, "Angel, I miss her." Magnus's catlike eyes gleamed in anger, "What?" I asked.

"You intorelable, spoilt, brat!" He spat at me, "I spent five years looking for you! And the other three with you! I spent months working on a spell strong enough to contact Clary for you. Sure, I understand that you miss her, but it isn't as though your going to live forever! Alec is growing older-"

"You don't think I didn't know that?" I whispered. "Clary is pregnant! I have three children who I might never see, and my old girlfriend is shackled to a abusive, repulsive maniac!"

"We need to do something about that then don't we?" Magnus asked, rubbing his hands together.

Tessa POV

I was sat in my chair Jem had bought me, during the time we were visiting Rome. I sighed at the thought of my husband, and longed for him to be with me. I absentmindedly ran my fingers over his cane. The jade had lost it's shine over the years, but to Jem and I, it looked as delightful as it had on the day it was given to him. Jem had only been eighteen when the drug ran out.

"Thank you." I whispered, and buried my head into Jem's exceedingly thin shoulder blade. "The chair is beautiful." I arched my back slightly, so I could kiss him softly on the cheek.

"It's alright." He said, locking his arms around my back. "It's your for the keeping Tess." He broke away from me, coughing roughly. His hand automatically went to his pocket and he grimaced. "I forgot. No more yin fen." He smiled lightly, "Well, well. This has been a journey." He stumbled slightly, and Will who was stood a few feet away caught him.

"James." Will said, "You need to get to bed."

"No William. If I sleep or rest, I'll never get up again." Jem sounded defeated. He steadied himself and wrapped a arm around me, before kissing my neck. "I love you Tess." He said, "Now come, I have decided against my wishes of not to rest," He paused to take a deep, raspy breath. "And I wouldn't mind a little sleep, aslong as Tessa is with me."

His silver eyes looked into mine, and I could see I had little time with him, so I smiled at him and whispered, "I'll be happy to Jem." And then we walked to his room, and climbed into bed, I curled into his side.

"I love you Tessa. I always will." Jem whispered.

"I love you James." I whispered back and kissed his cheek for the final time. "Now sleep my dear, sleep."

And thats exactly what he did. Five minutes later I called Will in, and a few seconds after, Jem was pronunced dead.
