Hey guys...

This chapter is going to be quite short because we had a huge snowstorm yesterday and I shoveled our driveway and I cant even move without my back and shoulders charlie horsing... Excuses Excuses Excuses, I know, but just wanted to let you know :)

Also, I was shocked at how many reviews I got, you guys have no idea how happy I am that you like my story and care enough to review :)

WARNING: Contains CoHF spoilers.

I guess I should do disclaimers...

I don't own it. Sadly.

Clary PoV

I was exhausted. Absolutely exhausted. And we had only been to one store. For lingerie. Really? We are shopping for WEDDING STUFF Izzy... sigh.

I missed Jace. I missed Jaeda. I missed Simon. I even missed Church.

"Izzy..."

She bounced over to me holding two Cokes, and handed one to me.

I took it gratefully and took a sip. Ahhhhh...

"What Clary?"

She was practically exploding with energy.

"One. Please stop acting like Alice. Two. Can we actually look for my wedding dress?"

We were going to meet Maia, Lily and Emma to go shopping for bridesmaid stuff in 2 hours, in time to grab some pizza for a few minutes.

"Who's Alice?"

Izzy tilted her head at me.

"She is a HIGHLY ENERGETIC vampire from Twilight"

"Ah. Cool!"

Izzy bounced off to throw out her empty coke cup. Wait. Empty? Oh boy. Incoming sugar rush...

Fortunately, she channeled her energy into finding the perfect dress. (A.N. I will describe it later, I have it all planned out, but the description needs to be in a different place :) )

I glanced at the clock. How had two hours passed?

"Izzy we need to go meet the others."

"Okay..."

She sighed reluctantly. She was trying on dresses, and well... Izzy does love her dresses.

We ordered pizza, and sat down at a table to eat. Soon, the others strolled up.

"Hey guys!"

Maia greeted happily. She had been so happy and at peace since she and Bat had gotten together. It was wonderful to see.

"Hey."

I grinned at them through my mouthful of mushroom and black olive pizza. Yes I do like that combination.

Lunch passed all to quickly, and soon it was back to the stores.

Fortunately, it 'only' took us 3 hours to find dresses of the same design but different colors that flattered each girl. Lily and I had become fast friends, so she was one of my bridesmaids.

"Can we go home now?"

I whined. My feet hurt and I missed Jace and Jaeda even more then I had earlier.

"Fine."

Izzy huffed.

I was out of that mall in 30 seconds flat.

We grabbed a taxi and headed to the institute, saying our farewells to the other three. Emma was staying with Mom and Luke because she needed a mommy figure while the adoption papers went through before she could move in with Julian and his uncle and siblings.

The instant the taxi pulled up to the Institute, I was out the car running up to the door. I ran into the library, and saw Jace curled up, sound asleep. I placed feather-light kisses all over his face. He stretched and yawned. Upon seeing me, he grinned and pulled me into his lap. He kissed me happily, tangling his fingers in my hair.

"I'm guessing you missed me too?"

I giggled.

"You can bet on it."

He said, his voice low and scratchy with sleep.

"How was Jaeda?"

I asked, anxious to see my baby.

"I have no idea. Alec and Magnus aren't back yet."

My shoulders slumped.

"Oh. Okay. How was your bro time?"

"It was... interesting."

I kissed his nose and laughed.

"Let's go eat dinner. I'm staaaaarving!"

He chuckled, and stood up, slinging me around to his back. I squealed in surprise.

"Jaaace!"

He laughed outright this time, and we went to go eat.

So was it good? Bad? Did I give you a migraine from the awfulness? Let me know on your way out!

I know I added a bit at the end there that wasn't in the JPoV chapter, but I felt like it needed to be there.

Thanks for reading!
