Two Days Later…

MPOV (Magnus)

I woke up with a pain in my heart. I was longing for the mornings I spent wrapped in Alec's arms. I spent last night at Clary's since I didn't want to be alone. I sat up from the inflatable mattress. I looked over at Clary's bed just to see that she wasn't there. The smell of bacon and pancakes filled the room and I rushed down the stairs. I haven't eaten anything in two days.

Luke set down a plate for me with bacon and chocolate chip pancakes with a sympathetic smile. Clary sat down next to me, already dressed in her button up white blouse and pencil skirt. Izzy was already here in a nice looking black dress. "Clary, where did you put my clothes? I didn't see them in my bag by the bed where I left them."

"I took them, ironed them and hung up them up in my closet. I knew you were going to sleep in so I took care of it for you." I gave her a grateful smile. I am so lucky to have a friend like her. She's always there and she knows exactly what I'm going through. "You know," she began. "Jace used his one call to phone me last night when you were asleep and we were talking about the baby to get our minds off the trial and we decided that we want you to be the baby's godfather." My head snapped up to meet her eyes.

"Really?" I asked, shocked. I thought she might have chosen Jon or Luke.

She nodded and turned to Izzy. "And Izzy, we want you to be the godmother." She squealed and rushed over to Clary and crushed both of us in a strong embrace.

Then I started to think of Alec. Clary noticed and asked me what was wrong. "Why didn't Alec call?"

"He knows that you fall asleep early and they couldn't call until late. He called my phone and begged me not to wake you up, but I really wanted to. He said he didn't want to bother you. He told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything. He also said that they are definitely not being released today so he wanted you to have something that's in his nightstand. He didn't tell me what it was. He doesn't want you to open it until after the trial." Tears were building in my eyes thinking about him. I could see it was making Clary a bit upset as well as she brushed a strand of fiery hair out of her eyes. "I was thinking we could drop by their apartment on our way to the courthouse since I have a key. Maybe I'll just get the thing he wants me to get out of his nightstand and give it to you after the trial."

I nodded and she wrapped an arm around me, resting her head on my shoulder. I finished my breakfast and she took my dish from me, putting it in the dishwasher. I went back up to her room and quickly got dressed. She came in the room once I was done and I asked her if she would help me with my hair, makeup, and glitter.

"Don't bother. Alec said that he didn't want you to wear any makeup or glitter, and he wants you to wear your hair down. He said it makes you look sexier." I grinned to myself. Alec has gotten a lot more confident since we started dating. I put my mascara and eye shadow back in my bag along with my glitter and hair gel.

CPOV (Clary)

Before I knew it we were all in the car. It was a van that seats seven so Mom, Luke, Jon, Izzy, Magnus, and I all fit in easily. We stopped in front of Jace and Alec's apartment building. I ran to the elevator and went to their apartment. Once I opened the door with the key Jace gave me, I rushed to Alec's room. I didn't want to keep everyone waiting too long.

I went to Alec's room and dug the drawer of his nightstand. I found a small black box with a note under it. The note had many sentences crossed out until I came across one entry on the bottom that read, Magnus, I love you more than anything in the world and someday, I would want to marry you. I want to start a family with you and hopefully adopt a couple children. I smiled at that. Alec wasn't overly fond of being near small children since he lost his little brother last year. I continued to read. I would like you to accept this ring as my promise that someday, I'll want a family and so much more with you. I grinned and out of curiosity, opened the small box to see a ring with five small diamonds. I took it out and read the engraving on the back. You're my forever. This is a side of Alec I've never seen and it's amazing. I was touched that Alec had planned out everything he was going to say.

I put the note along with the boxed ring in my purse. I was on my way out when I stopped by Jace's room. I poked my head in the room to see that there was a picture of Jace and me kissing that I've never seen before. He must have gotten Alec or Izzy to take that picture. It was sitting in metal heart shaped frame that had forever engraved along the edge.

We started going to the courthouse once I was back in the car. In no time at all, the trial was in session. Magnus, Izzy, Jon, and I were in the front row, seated as the witnesses. Jon was considered a witness since he was the first one from my family that we told. We watched as Jace and Alec were led into the courtroom in orange jumpsuits. Magnus gave a start as he saw Alec, ready to pounce on him. Izzy and I both put a hand on his shoulder, even though I wanted to do the same with Jace. "All rise for the honorable Judge Carstairs," the bailiff said. We rose and sat down as the judge told us to be seated.

Jace's and Alec's lawyer came up to us and said, "The person who gave them the pictures is going to make an appearance in court today. And it's going to be soon. Apparently, they're already here but they're sitting way in the back. The Plaintiff is going to ask them to be a witness."

Magnus looked at me, shocked. "Do you think it's the same person who told about Alec and me?"

"They must be the same person since they were reported on the same day."

Sitting at the Plaintiff stand was our school principal, Imogen Herondale, and the super intendant. Jace, Alec, and their lawyer were at the Defendant stand. "Alright, court is in session. We will start with the case of Jonathon Christopher Wayland. Mr. Wayland is being accused of and confessed having sexual relations with a student, Ms. Clarissa Fray. Defense, you may call up your first witness."

"Jonathon Wayland," the lawyer said in a firm voice. My boyfriend walked up to the witness stand. He took the oath of truth before sitting down. He asked for Jace's overview of our relationship. He explained when we first saw each other, our first kiss, our first date, and our first time. When the attorney showed him a picture of my ring, Jace told him about how it was a promise to love me forever and that he will propose marriage in the future. The lawyer asked him about my feelings.

Jace answered with, "I love her more than anything." I smiled as Magnus grabbed my hand and gave it a tight squeeze. Jace got down from the stand and his lawyer called me up. Magnus squeezed my hand once more before I got up, took the oath, and sat at the stand. I was asked to go through our whole relationship also. I basically said everything that Jace said, but, of course, since I'm a girl, I had the more romanticized version and I could see Jace trying to hide a grin, a look of amusement clear on his face.

He asked me how I felt about Jace and I replied, "I'm in love with him. He's the greatest thing to happen to me."

The principal, representing herself, came up and asked, "Is it true that you are pregnant?"

"Yes," I said simply. I could tell it was a little hard for her. We became pretty close when I was tutoring her stepdaughter, Aline. She said I was like a second daughter to her since I ate dinner at her house and sometimes spent the night. I stopped hanging out there when Aline went out with Sebastian, knowing that I liked him before we dated.

"And are you sure that child belongs to Mr. Wayland?"

"Yes, I am positive." It seems as though she doesn't want him to be the father. It's probably so she won't think less of me or won't have to fire Jace.

"How can you be certain?"

"The only other guy I was ever with in that sense died over a year ago." She looked at me with sympathy, knowing who this was.

"No further questions, your Honor."

"Now we are going to hear a closing statement from the witness that turned in the pictures that fixed our attention on this case." I stood up, ready to leave the stand and go back to my seat between Izzy and Magnus, when I saw a figure walking down the aisle of the courtroom.

There was a hood covering the face. This person obviously wanted to be hidden until now. I watched as the figure slowly lowered the hood.

Oh… God…

Sorry if you hate me :) Next chapter is when you find out who this is. I think some of you already know though. ;) And sadly, I have not seen the movie yet because my best friend who I was going to see it with ended up getting sick. So I am most likely seeing it next week…hopefully.

I start my first year of college in a little over a week so I probably won't have a lot of time to update.

Please let me know what you think.
