Hodge was tired. It had been a long day, and he became more and more restless. But then again he only had one couple left, and after that he could go home.

Hodge looked down on his calendar and skimmed through his appointments. He couldn't help the sigh that escaped him, for the last couple was the Herondales.

They sat in front of him, and Hodge took his time to look at them. They looked more relaxed, Jace's arm was slung over the couch they were sitting on and his hand grazing Clary's shoulder, and she didn't seem to mind. Clary's hair was loose, the soft red waves falling down her back and shoulders. It almost seemed like nothing was wrong, but Hodge knew better, because in this line of business nothing ever was what it seemed.

"So did the two of you have sex?" Hodge asked, he noticed that Clary blushed slightly and took it as a yes.

"Good," he said "now to the next step-"

"Just a question," Jace said, interrupting Hodge "Why did you want us to sleep together?"

Hodge took a moment to look at the golden man in front of him. There was something special about the man but also something fragile and delicate.

"You slept together on your first date, and I am trying to create your relationship from the bottom. So first date, you had to do something together. You had sex on the date, you had sex now." Hodge tells him.

"But what I want to know," Clary asked, "Are we just going to have sex the next couple of months?"

"No, now you are getting to know each other." Hodge replies.

For a few seconds there was a complete silence, only being broken by the grandfather clock in the corner.

"Another quick question," Jace started, "Just to be sure, you do know that we are married right? And not to be rude or anything, but I wouldn't marry someone who I didn't know. And I know that you are just doing your job, but with the whole knowing each other thing, you are just a few years too late."

Hodge noticed that Clary nodded, just a little bit. Hodge sighed.

"You would be surprised by how many things married couples don't tell each other." Hodge said, he took a deep breath. "We are going to start with something simple. Who did you lose your virginity to and how old were you?" Hodge asked.

"Seventeen," Clary said "And it was a high school boyfriend."

"Also seventeen, and it was a drunken hook-up." Jace said.

Hodge looked at them, Clary's story seemed okay but Jace, not so much. The boy was good looking and had probably always been aware of that, and there was no way that an attractive man like Jace had waited till he was 17 to have sex. Besides, no attractive, horny teen boy would wait that long.

"And now the truth, thank you very much." Hodge said, looking at Jace.

"Fine. I was fifteen." Jace said, rolling his eyes.

"Fifteen?" Clary asked, disbelief written all over her face "why did you say seventeen and not fifteen?"

"Because I didn't want to freak you out, okay honey? I wanted you to feel secure and safe, not freak you out." Jace said trying to make his mistake better.

"I'm not freaking out" Clary said, her voice way too high to be believable.

"Yes you are," Jace said, keeping his voice low. Hodge just looked at them, like a kid might look at a candy store.

"No I'm not! What was her name?" Clary asked, taking a deep breath. Jace looked at her for a second; in utter disbelief.

"It's going to help our relationship Jace," Clary said, sounding just a little bit bitchy.

"No it's not," Jace whispered under his breath "Fine, you really wanna know?"

"Yes." Clary said hopefully.

"You know the teacher I tried to seduce?" Jace said, Clary's eyes widening slightly. "It was her, I lost my V-card to my sub teacher."

Somewhere inside Hodge knew it was wrong to feel the satisfaction of being right, also he was a little amazed by Jace who at age 15 was able to seduce a teacher.

"You have GOT to be kidding me." Clary said with her jaw on the floor. "Your teacher, you had sex with your fucking teacher."

"Told you it wouldn't help." Jace muttered.

"No, Clary is right. Now there is less of a barrier between the two of you." Hodge said.

"Wanna know what else would make us closer? Sex, but sorry I'm not much for an audience." Jace said.

"Jace really your-"Clary started.

"Clary I think it's your turn now." Hodge interrupted.

"Fine," Clary huffed, her tone more bitchy than Hodge's wife's niece.

"I was seventeen, and it was a high school boyfriend. We broke up before I went to college." Clary said.

"And the name of the young man?" Hodge asked.

Clary suddenly got very stiff, her posture and facial expression telling Hodge that he shouldn't go there. But Hodge had pushed the husband and it would be unfair to not push the wife, even if he liked Clary more than Jace.

"It's going to help our relationship, Clary." Jace mocked, his voice high and girly, or as girly as a grown man can make his voice. Clary looked at Jace and Hodge could see that she was debating with herself if she should tell or not. What was it that she was hiding?

"Fine," Clary finally said, after a minor stare down with Jace. "Sebastian, Sebastian Verlac.

"

"WHAT!" Jace yelled; his voice loud. "You dated the freaking stalker and you had freaking SEX with him!"

"At least it wasn't a crazy gouger," Clary said.

"Stop right there," Hodge said, interrupting the fight. "We will talk about the stalker issue later, but for now Clary I would like to know why the two of you broke up."

Both of them looked Hodge; Jace as if Hodge had gone insane and Clary; a little afraid.

"I don't think that that is a good idea…" Clary said slowly.

"Why not?" Hodge asked, very confused.

"I just don't okay?" Clary said, her voice trembling.

"Listen Clary I think this is important and if you want help-"

"Listen doctor, if my wife doesn't want to talk about it, we don't talk about it okay? So let it go or I will have some of New York's best lawyers suing you for everything your worth understood?" Jace said, with an edge to his voice and a protecting hand on Clary's knee.

"It's okay Jace." Clary said, her voice low and a tear trailing down her cheek "I got pregnant and Sebastian didn't want the baby so I got an abortion, but after that…. Sebastian said we were through."

The silence was almost unbearable. Hodge didn't know what to do. Jace looked at his wife with eyes as big as teacups and an open mouth. Clary… just sat there tears slowly making their way down her cheeks and the saddest smile Hodge had ever seen sat on her face.
