Her knees buckled out from under her and she fell to the ground. Jace saw her fall and reacted in instinct: he catches her. His arms went around her and he felt her sob against his chest.

"I am so sorry, Jace." she cried, "They were right; I ruined it," she clutched his wrinkled shirt in her hands and looked up at him. "I ruined us." her voice broke and so did his heart.

He felt the anger slowly burning its way through him. Why had they told Clary that? How dare they make her feel like she wasn't good enough? The angels would know that it was the other way around; it wasn't Clary who was the bad one, but Jace himself. Before Clary, everything had been meaningless to him, of course he had friends that he cared about and they cared about him. But still, Clary had been the light in his darkness, she still was.

"Look at me, please." Jace whispered.

"Why?" Clary asked "You must hate me for all the things I did. I didn't tell you I was pregnant and I made you believe I didn't trust you," she broke down again, tears running down her already wet cheeks.

He felt how she shuddered in his arms, how she trembled like a leaf, and how her voice sounded strained and ruined. Not like it usually did-not like sunshine and summer.

"Look at me," he whispered, glad that his voice didn't break. He wasn't sure his heart was beating; the only thing he was aware was her. How her small form felt and how he hurt for her. When he had first met her, he had never thought that it would ever end like this…No! He thought to himself, this wasn't going to end. Yes, it was screwed up now, but they would fight. Damn it, he would fight. For her, always for her.

"Please just look at me," he said again, his voice a bit more calm. She looked up at him, her green eyes red and puffy, she sniffed.

"Do you remember my vows?" he asked, slowly raising one of his hands and removed a curl from her face. She sucked in a breath at his touch.

"You remember, don't you?" he asked, desperately needing to hear her say something.

Flashback

Jace had never been a patient man, especially not now. She stood before him, her hair down in soft waves and the white dress flowing down her hips and legs. He wanted to grab her and get out of the church. But he didn't because this meant a lot to her. He didn't really know why, personally he had been fine with putting his name on a piece of paper and then taking her away somewhere remote where nobody could get to them. But no, he would have to wait until later.

The priest was still talking nonsense and even if Jace had wanted to listen, he wouldn't have been able to. She was just too beautiful. She just there barely a foot away from him and yet, it felt like she wasn't close enough. It always felt like that.

It was their wedding day, and Jace knew it meant a lot to Clary to do it the right way, so he had agreed to the church and venue and all the other stuff she wanted. After all, it made her happy.

He had been nervous for a moment when she had walked in with Valentine and the girls. She had looked pale and shaken and he had been afraid that she had gotten cold feet, but the moment her eyes had met his, he had smiled at her she had relaxed. The rosy color he loved came back to her cheeks.

He smiled at her again; silently cursing the priest in his head for being so slow. She smiled back at him, biting her lip. His eyes fell to said lip and something inside him stirred. The image of her lips on his and another important part of his anatomy made his stomach clench. This time he cursed himself, thinking about BJ's in God's house was something his mother would have lectured him about.

His came back to reality when he heard the priest say his name.

"Jace Herondale, you may now speak your vows." he said in an authoritative tone.

Jace nodded and looked Clary deep in the eyes. He began, "I vow to love you through everything, to love you for better or worse, to stay by your side for good times and for bad, to hold you through the night, to go through ash and fire, ice and water, to move heaven and earth for you, to go through hell and back, to be by your side and laugh at your jokes." a small giggle escaped her lips, "and I vow to cherish you in every way I can and be the man you deserve." he finished his speech and heard all the oh-ing and ah-ing. Clary's eyes were glassy, and a single tear slid down her cheek.

Maybe the vows were okay, he thought as Clary opened her mouth to speak.

"I vow to always be by your side, to hold and love you through everything, to smile when you smile and to share your tears, to be there for better or worse, to accept you and everything you stand for, to be the woman you deserve and the wife you need, to love you unconditionally and to stand by your side when no one else will." she smiled, "Also to be with you and that big head of yours." this time he couldn't help but smile. "And to just… be there." she finished.

Jace could feel his heart thump in his chest and smiled down at Clary who was beaming up at him.

"I now declare you husband and wife." the priest said.

Finally, Jace thought. And before the priest could say anything else, Jace grabbed Clary's hips and kissed her.

End of flashback

Clary looked up at him, her eyes big.

"I love you Clary, you mean everything to me and I know it's hard sometimes, but we are going to figure it out. I promise." he said.

Clary flung herself at him and buried her head in his neck.

"I am so sorry," she whispered, "And I love you to so, so much."

He felt her breath against his neck, and before she could do anything else he lifted her up and carried her to the bedroom.

He dumped her on the bed, and he barely noticed the mountain of pillows and blankets. Then he kissed her.

Her mouth was soft and she tasted like tears and something sweet, something that was purely Clary.

"Promise me something," he whispered against her lips.

"Anything," she whispered back, her hands going to his hair.

"No more couples therapy," she let out a short laugh, short because his kiss silenced her.

"And no more secrets Clary, please," he said, and looked into her deep green eyes, she nodded and he kissed her, but this time she pushed him away.

For a millisecond he thought that his heart was going to stop. Why had she pushed him away?

"Jace," she said, a small smile at her lips. He relaxed again.

"What Sweetie?"

"I'm pregnant."
