Hey!

After writing that authors note yesterday, I realized how stupid I was being. I'll give you guys a chapter now :)

CPOV

Clary watched as Jace's eyes widened even more, and then unexpectedly smiled a huge grin. He laughed, and that seemed like the first time he had laughed in ages. Jace made his way over to Clary, and gathered her into a big bear hug. He twirled her around, laughing like a five year old. Pretty soon, Clary joined in, too. His laughter was so infectious, and it washed all her fears away.

"We're going to have a baby!" Jace said when he finally sat her down.

"Actually, I'll be doing most of the work, but yes. We're going to be parents pretty soon." Clary said, smiling up at him.

"Clary, I need to tell you something." Jace started.

"What is it?" She asked, stroking his face with her hand.

"I love you." He said as he looked deep into her eyes.

Clary froze automatically, as she usually did. But instantly she softened. Jace was what she wanted. Forever. And although she may love Sebastian, it was nothing compared to the love she felt for Jace. He was always hers, and she was always his. And now they could finally be together, with their baby. And she knew in her heart that she was making the right decision. After all the years of her stubbornness, Jace still loved her. After all she had put him through, he still loved her. The reason was a mystery to her, but she knew it was true. He showed it in every word, every action.

"I love you too, Jace." She said, taking his hands in hers.

"Took you long enough to say it." He teased lightly.

"Only five years. Jace?" She asked hesitantly.

"Yeah?"

"Kiss me." Clary practically begged. She needed to feel his lips on hers, the way the world needed the sunlight.

"Your wish, my command." Jace murmured as he leaned in to kiss her.

The kiss started out gentle, both just satisfied of the feeling of their lips together. But then, suddenly, it became fierce and passionate. Their lips had spent too many days, too many nights apart. Soon, Jace had Clary sitting on the counter so there wouldn't be such a major height difference. Clary sighed, and pulled him even closer, if that were even possible. She tugged lightly at one of the golden curls that her fingers were buried in, and he kissed her more eagerly in response. She pulled away just slightly.

"I love you so much, Jace. I'm sorry I hurt you." She murmured against his lips.

"None of that matters anymore, Clary." Jace whispered back and continued to kiss her.

They were so caught up in their kissing, they didn't hear the door quietly unlock and open. It wasn't until a voice spoke that made them come out of their passionate embrace.

"Well, this is awkward." Magnus commented, while struggling slightly at keeping a grip on the numerous bags he was holding.

Clary felt her heart sink as she realized Magnus was not alone. Sebastian stood behind him, looking shocked at what he had just witnessed. Clary's eyes immediately filled up with tears as he practically glared at her.

"Sebastian.." She started.

"Don't bother." Sebastian said, then walked out the door, slamming it behind him.

Clary hopped off the counter, pulling on her jacket. Jace's arm snaked around her waist, effectively trapping her.

"And where do you think you're going?" He asked, sounding genuinely curious.

Clary turned so that she was facing him, and looked up at his face with pleading eyes. "I just have to talk to him, Jace. He wasn't supposed to find out like this-"

"I should hope not." Magnus cut in, while digging through the refrigerator.

"Just-let me talk to him, okay? He's still one of my friends. I don't want him to hate me." Clary finished.

Jace's eyes searched her face for a minute. She knew what he was probably seeing, hurt, confusion, sadness, but most of all hope. He sighed, before letting his arm around her loosen.

"I just want you to be happy." He whispered.

"I am happy. More happy than I've ever been. But I don't want him to be unhappy. He doesn't deserve it. Everyone deserves to be happy. I'll be right back. I love you." Clary said, before stretching up on her toes to give Jace one last kiss.

###

Clary zippered up her coat, feeling cold within seconds in the frosty New York air. She stood there on the sidewalk for a minute, thinking of where she would search first. Where would I go? She thought. Somewhere inside, definitely. A food place? No, Sebastian never ate when he was upset. He always went to the nearest bar, and drank his troubles away, even when Clary had told him she hated it. Clary;s head snapped up. Left? Right? Straight? She knew there was a bar about a block or less away, where Sebastian had celebrated his bachelor party. She decided to head there first.

Her walk was cold, and though in reality it wasn't very long, it felt like eternity. She finally made it through the door. And was immediately enveloped by the warm air of the bar. She sighed, and started to look for Sebastian. She finally found him, sitting in the corner by himself, drink in hand. She slowly made her way toward him, and sat down on the seat next to him.

"Well look who it is. If it isn't my lovely fiancee." Sebastian said sarcastically.

"Sebastian, just listen-"

"No, you listen." Sebastian glared at her. "I knew you had feelings for him still. I knew it. But it seemed irrelevant to me. I thought you'd come to your senses and forget about the douche. But, instead you had to be a whore."

"Oh, I'm the whore now? That's kind of hypocritical, don't you think, since you cheated on my first?" She shot back.

"Wh-What?" Sebastian sputtered.

"To make a long story short, I knew, okay?"

Flashback

1 week before

Clary had just gotten back from trying out different flavors for the wedding cake. She was sad to do it alone, since most couples made that decision-no matter how trivial-together. But, Sebastian was on another one of his business trips, "Saving up for our future" He always says. She smiled faintly, and pushed her apartment door open, surprised that it was unlocked. She made her way through the apartment hesitantly, in case of a burglar. She was just passing her bedroom when she heard a noise.

"Oh, Sebastian."

Clary instantly stiffened, and quietly pushed the door open. Inside, on her bed, Sebastian and a girl were intertwined. Looking closer, Clary recognized the face of Aline Penhallow. Clary shut the door quietly, and in a daze, made her way out of the apartment.

End of Flashback.

"Look, Sebastian. I want to still be friends, if that's even possible." Clary said, wringing her hands nervously.

"Friends." Sebastian replied in a dead monotone.

"Please?" She said, with a pleading look in her eyes. "I just want us both to be happy."

"You're happy with Jace Lightwood?" He asked, shocked.

"I love him, Sebastian. I love him so much. And I'm sorry you found out the way you did." Clary apologized.

"So, you want to be friends. Even after I cheated on you and you cheated on me?" He asked, looking like he was having a hard time believing what she was saying.

"Yes." Clary said, finally looking up.

"You're either crazy or the most forgiving person I've ever met."

"Maybe I'm both." Clary said, sticking out her hand. "Friends?"

Sebastian took it. "Friends."

JPOV

Jace sat anxiously as he waited for Clary to come home. He didn't want her to go, but he understood that she needed to make this right. She wouldn't be able to forgive herself if she wouldn't have gone, and then Jace would have been miserable for her being miserable. But, still he thought the motive was a little crazy. She wanted to go off and be friends with Sebastian after they had both cheated on each other? It didn't make sense. But Clary was the most forgiving person he had ever met. Even if it was a little crazy sometimes.

"So, Clary is.." Magnus said, while making a baby bump on his stomach with his hands.

"Yes." Jace said, rolling his eyes. He had explained this to Magnus about ten times, and he still couldn't comprehend it.

"Huh." Maugnus said, finally shutting up.

"What are you going to name it?" Magnus asked excitedly. Jace inwardly groaned. What was he thinking? Magnus never shut up.

"How about Maggie?" He joked tiredly.

"Don't you dare." Magnus glared at him.

"Hmm. I kind of like it." Jace smiled.

Suddenly, the door blew open, bringing a victorious looking Clary inside with it. She took off her jacket and scarf, and rubbed her hands together, trying to warm them up. Jace looked up at her from the couch, holding his arms open as an invitation for her. She smiled and snuggled up to him.

"Well, I have to get going home to Alec." Magnus said, getting up.

"Later, Maggie!" Jace called at him as he walked out the door.

"Don't tease poor Magnus." Clary giggled, poking Jace in the stomach.

"It's so much fun, though." Jace protested.

"You know what's even more fun?" Clary looked up at him, raising her eyebrows.

"What's that?" Jace asked.

"This." Clary said as she pulled his lips down to meet hers.

Okay, so it's finally done!

Question: Should I do a sequel or just do an epilogue? If a sequel, possible ideas?
