AAHHHHHH PLEASE DON'T KILL ME I AM SO SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN FOREVER I JUST HAD ABSOLUTELY NO INSPIRATION TO WRITE AND IT WAS ALL CRAP AND BLEH. But I promise to try to update more often now. It probably won't be every day, like the first four chapters were, because I have a really heavy semester at school starting tomorrow, but I do promise to update as often as I possibly can. I know this chapter is small, it's mostly a filler chapter. Again, so sorry, but I hope you enjoy.

Clary woke with a start, to the noise of clanging coming from the kitchen downstairs. She glanced at the clock and her heart skipped a beat when she read 8:30, but she smiled as she realized it was Saturday. She flopped back onto her pillows and allowed the memories from last night to flood her brain. She flushed as she remembered the taste of Jace's lips and the texture of his hair. She found herself rubbing her mouth with her fingers and realized that her lips were larger than usual. She giggled, giddy with the relief that it wasn't all some elaborate dream. He really had said those things the night before. Clary was pulled from her thoughts by a buzzing from her bedside table. Her insides melted when she saw the text was from Jace.

"Good morning beautiful, I hope your dreams were sweet," it read.

Clary's thumbs shook with delight as she typed a reply and pulled herself out of bed.

"They couldn't have been sweeter, how did you sleep?"

She walked to the closet and pulled out a pair of sweatpants and a tank top to watch tv in. As she yanked a comb through her knotted curls her phone buzzed again and she quickly grabbed it and read Jace's reply.

"I slept better than I have in long time."

Clary again found herself smiling like a lunatic, practically jumping up and down. She pulled her hair into a messy bun and went downstairs, hesitant to enter the kitchen, fearful as to what had caused the commotion that had woken her. She took in the scene with wide, surprised eyes. Her mother was standing with her back turned, hunched over a cook book and coated in what looked like a mixture of flour and eggs. It looked as if she was attempting to stir whatever concoction she had created in the metal bowl in front of her, but little bits of batter went flying as she jerkily maneuvered the whisk in her hand. Unable to contain herself, Clary burst into laughter and her mother turned around, startled by the sudden noise. Jocelyn looked around at the mess she had created and started to laugh as well. When their laughter had faded to giggles, Jocelyn tried to explain.

"I was trying to be more...maternal. I feel bad because I never cook anything from scratch for you two, although it's probably saved you from imminent food poisoning on multiple occasions..."

Clary, didn't mind, she had always loved to cook so her mother's lack of skills never bothered her.

"Don't worry about it mom, you're very maternal." she said with a wink "But I am curious as to what that...mixture...is supposed to be."

Her mother blushed before answering, "pancakes..."

The two looked at each other and again started to laugh. Clary volunteered to clean the kitchen while her mother went to go de-batter herself. When Clary was finished cleaning she headed into the living room and plopped on the couch. She turned on the tv, settling on some silly cartoon and snuggled into a soft blanket she pulled off the back of the couch. Her eyes began to flutter closed but flew open when she felt her phone buzz. She quickly pulled it out and read Jace's text, her heart thudding loudly in her chest. He wanted to see her tonight, to take her for dinner at the local diner and she had to admit, she was just as eager to be around him again. She enthusiastically agreed and imagined his chuckle as he read her reply. Of course her mind then wandered to what she was going to wear and her mind immediately provided the answer to her question in the form of a name. Izzy.

I know it's super super short but I wanted to get something posted. I hope you liked it. Also I'm really undecided, I don't know if I want to keep this story light and fluffy, or to add drama, I have ideas for both, I just don't know which direction I should choose. Please, if you guys have any recommendations, let me know. Also, reviews are always appreciated, I love to know what you guys think. Thanks for reading.
