I know its a bit slow getting to the point but I have a week off now so will be writing and uploading more frequently. Let me know what you think. xx

Alec walked over to the door and pulled it open but the hall was empty. Alec shut the door and moved back towards the bed "This is stupid someone's messing with us, placing a letter on Clary's bed, banging on doors.." Jace looked up "This isn't right, there is something seriously wrong, if Magnus is right and there is somebody using possession or glamour's to get to Clary we are all in danger." Jace looked towards his girlfriend, he could see the fear in her eyes. "Clary it will be ok..." before Jace could finish his attempt to comfort her Clary Trough her hand up in the air. "How is this ever going to be okay? yet again some big evil villain is after me. How am I supposed to be a mother when where ever I go danger follows! Nobody is safe near me Jace! don't you see that?" Clary's voice was partly muffled by her tears. Jace stepped towards Clary to try hold her but she only stepped further away from him.

Clarys legs collapsed from underneath her and she slid down the wall towards the ground.

"Clary, tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it. I won't let anyone hurt you. I'd rather die than let you get hurt." Jace said. Clary looked towards him. "That's my point Jace, everyone keeps risking their lives for me... Maybe by being a mother to this baby I'll only put them in more danger." Clary struggled to her feet and stomped down the hall toward her bedroom. Jace tried to plead with her but it was no use, She stomped into her bedroom locking the door behind her.

" Clary please let me in, you're not alone I will never leave your side you know that Clary please just talk to me." Jace had tears rolling down his cheeks, He didn't know what to think or do, how can he protect her if he doesn't know who to protect her from? He thought. Jace sat on the floor with his back leaning against her bedroom door. He could hear Clary crying inside her room. Although there was only a few feet between them, they had never been so far apart.

After ten minutes Alec came out of Issabells room and sat down next to Jace. "I know this is going to be hard Jace but I think I know what Clary needs right now.." he said, Jace looked up at his brother "what?" he asked. "Jace, Clary needs her Mum" Alec said. Jace slowly nodded his head. "alright" Alec said "All talk to mum and get her to come over. Magnus just called he thinks he has found a clue, he's on his way over. He wants to talk to you before speaking to Clary. " Jace remained silent and repeated his last action responding to Alec with another silent nod.

Once Alec left Jace spoke to Clary again. "Please Clary, just let me see you just for a moment and then I'll come see you tomorrow, give you some time." After a few seconds later the door handle turned. Jace fumbled to his feet just as the door opened and a very pail Clary stepped out. "Clary I hate seeing you like this." Jace said. Clary had clearly cried for quite a while. Her eyes were red and sparkling with tears."I need some time to process Jace. This is all too much I still cannot get my head around knowing I'm going to be a mother let alone anything else." Jace understood Clary's choice but it still didn't make this any easier. "Do you want to be alone?" Jace asked. Clary nodded her head. Jace pulled her in for one last hug. He held her in his arms and didn't want to let go. He slid his hands and rested them on Clary's baby bump. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. He said "If you need me Clary just shout okay at any time and I will come back to you" Jace's tone was steady even though inside his heart was breaking. "I love you Clary" he whispered. She whispered "I love you too " before shutting the door, leaving Jace alone and unable to contain his emotions.

Alec made his way to his mother's office, he found her sitting in her regular chair staring across the streets of Newyork. "Mum" once Maryce realised Alec was their she broke away from the window and turned to face her son. "Alec, how are you? Jace and Clary told me about...about the baby." Alec moved forward and sat opposite his mother. "I'm okay but Clary's not. She's a mess, she's scared and thinks that being a mother will put her baby in danger. Honestly I think she just needs.." Alec didn't have to finish his sentence, his mother did it for him. "her mum." Maryce said."Joclyn too had fears whilst she was pregnant with Clary. If there is anyone who can understand what Clary's going through it will be her mother. I shall call her and tell her to come here as soon as possible." Alec agreed. "mum I think it may help if you told Joclyn and Luke about this baby. I don't think Clary has the strength to explain everything again." Alec suggested.

"Alexander, I'm so proud of you. I should say it more often than I do. I understand that you and Clary had a bad start but seeing you now caring for her just proves your loyalty to your family. She is a lucky girl to have you as a friend." Maryce said. Alec smiled "Thank you" he said. Alec spoke to his mum about the ideas, he and Magnus had thought of to understand Issabelles behaviour and Clary's pregnancy. Maryce carefully listened to Alec before asking questions. "so Issabelle is in a lot of danger and we don't know where she is. I wished I had known sooner, I may have been able to stop her from leaving." Maryce never showed much emotion, she was always on form and and strong but now she looked like she could cry. "Nobody can understand all of this yet, it's so confusing but we will work this out. It will be okay mum." Alec knew that it wasn't that simple although he wished it could be.
