Alec walked by me and said, "Call Izzy and tell her to get my checkbook to make a check out for $100,000." I stared at him in shock as an officer escorted him back to our cell. I picked up the phone and dialed Izzy's cell phone number, one of the few phone numbers I actually bothered to memorize. I told her what to do and she sounded overexcited and confused at the same time. So was I.

I get to see my girlfriend soon. I will be there for the birth of my child.

Later that same day, an officer brought us our clothes we were wearing the night we were convicted. We changed in our cell and were led to the lobby where I saw our little sister and Alec's boyfriend. Once the officer removed the Alec's cuffs, he raced over to Magnus and enveloped him. "What are you doing here?"

"Izzy needed someone over eighteen to escort her." Alec kissed his boyfriend and continued to embrace him.

"Alexander Lightwood," the officer began. "Since the student you were having the affair with is now over eighteen, you only have six months parole. You are not allowed to leave New York City, and if you do, you will be continuing the sentence you were first given in court." The officer bent down and clasped a tracker onto Alec's ankle.

"Jonathon Wayland, since the student you had an affair with is still sixteen, you are on parole until she turns eighteen. Plus, another year is added since the affair resulted in a pregnancy for a total of three years on parole. If you have sexual intercourse with this girl or any other minor again before she turns eighteen you will be in violation of parole and will have to continue carrying out the sentence you first received in court. You are also not allowed to leave New York City." He clicked the tracker on my ankle and unlocked my cuffs. He handed Alec and I back our cell phones and showed us to the door.

"Where's Clary?" I asked Izzy.

"She's at school. She doesn't know you're getting out today. I thought it would be a nice surprise. Magnus and I skipped today, but Clary's parents said that she had to go to school today."

"Does anyone know how exactly $100,000 ended up in my banking account?" Alec asked as we walked out of the building. We all just shrugged and shook our heads.

My cell phone suddenly rang. It was the principal, my boss. "Hello?" I answered.

"Hello, Mr. Wayland, I just received a call saying that you and Mr. Lightwood have been released. At this time, I ask you both to come down to the school and gather your personal belongings." He hung up and so did I.

I turned to Alec. "That was the principal. He wants us down to the school to collect our things during lunch break."

"We brought Alec's car," Izzy said as she tossed the keys to our older brother. Alec and Magnus parted with a kiss. He didn't want to go with us. He thought it would be too painful to watch Alec pack up and leave the school for good. We pulled up to the school and took the boxes the secretary had waiting for us.

I walked into my former classroom. It looked exactly how I left. The room was empty since everyone was at lunch. I was packing the last of my things, the last item being my picture of Clary in my desk drawer. It already felt like forever since I've seen that perfect face. The door suddenly slammed shut from behind me. I whipped around to find Aline Penhallow standing in the doorway. All I know is that she is one of the girls that always give Clary a hard time. She's in the same class as Clary and I always catch her giving me lustful gazes but I hardly notice since I'm always busy sneaking glances at Clary. "Hello, Mr. Wayland," she all but purred my name in a way she probably thought was seductive.

"How can I help you, Miss Penhallow?"

"I heard that you're into younger women." She stalked up to me and ran a hand up my arm causing me to shiver in disgust.

I cringed away from her and said, "That's not necessarily true. I just so happened to have fallen in love with a minor. It doesn't mean I like all minors." I picked up my box and started to head to the door when she stopped me.

"Come on, Mr. Wayland, we could have some fun." She unbuttoned the top button of her blouse and I reflexively turned away from her.

"Jace?" said a delicate voice from the doorway. I knew that voice. I dropped my box onto the desk and whipped my head around to see my beautiful girlfriend with a confused look on her face. I raced past Aline and wrapped my arms around my love. She giggled her beautiful laugh and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Alec had enough in his account to bail both of us out. Izzy and Magnus bailed us out. They wanted it to be a surprise." She beamed and pressed her lips to mine. "What are doing in the classroom during lunch?" I just noticed the paper bag in her hand.

"I come here a lot during lunch. It reminds me a lot of us in here. It was the first place I saw you. I remember when my brother walked in on us making out on the desk. It reminds me of the times before everything got so complicated." She looked over my shoulder. "What's she doing in here?" I turned around and saw that Aline was still here and glaring daggers at Clary.

"We were about to have some fun. Right, Mr. Wayland?" she said in a sugary sweet voice. I felt Clary's hand tense around mine. "You should leave so we can get back to what we were doing.

"Go away, Miss Penhallow. I love Clary and she's the only student I've ever had feelings for so you should leave before you embarrass yourself further." She gasped and stormed past Clary, purposely bumping her shoulder.

My girlfriend smiled up at me and asked seductively, "So, do we get to celebrate your freedom tonight?"

"We can't. One of the terms of my parole is that we aren't allowed to have sex until you're eighteen."

"But that's a year and a half away." She frowned.

"I know, Sweetie, but don't worry, once we have the baby, we're not going to have time for sex, and so we'll end up forgetting about it anyway until you're eighteen." She laughed lightly and rested her head on my chest.

"My parents said you can stay at our house to help around until the baby comes. Isabelle already brought a bunch of clothes to my house and put them in my closet since I mainly use my dresser for my clothes. There's a spare room right next to mine and we are going to turn that into the nursery." I smiled down at her and kissed her on the lips. She deepened the kiss and wrapped her arms around my neck. I lifted her up by the waist, letting her wrap her legs around me. "God, I've missed you." She breathed against my lips.

"Well, Darling, I'm not God, but I can understand the confusion." She swatted at my shoulder with a smile so I tried to amend my statement. "It's alright, God missed you, too." She let out a laugh and continued to leave kisses all over my face.

Things were finally working out for me. I'm no longer in jail, I'm holding the love of my life, and I'm going to be a father, which I am actually completely excited about.
