Ok,

So I think this one might be a bit of filler half way through but I did want to get it up ASAP. So here you go: tell me what you think…

Impulses, Chapter 5: Dresses

Clary just stood there with her mouth covered by her delicate hands. Jace was starting to worry a bit, she was breathing heavily with wide shocked eyes just staring at the ring in front of her. Jace stood up slowly looking at her, the box still held tightly in between his fingers. He caressed Clary's cheek with on hand and whispered.

"Please, say something Clary" he was really starting to freak out; she was definitely going to say no, he just knew it. Jace could only just hear a muffled sound come from between Clary's hands.

"Oh My God" was he all could make out, was it a good oh my god or bad oh my god? He just wished she'd say something. Her hands slowly dropped to her side and she just stared at him before whispering,

"Jace… are you proposing to me?"

"Um… yeah" Jace shrugged which he regretted quickly. 'Great Jace make it look like you don't give about it' but he was cut off from his mental conversation by Clary jumping up onto him, her legs wrapping themselves around his waist as she hugged him tightly. She was shaking slightly and Jace could feel a small wet patch forming on the shoulder of his tux. He pulled her head back and looked into her eyes. She was smiling brightly as she looked down at him.

"Of course I'll marry you" she whispered to him her eyes sparkly in the night, happiness just rolled off her as Jace spun her around in circles in the gazebo. He couldn't believe she'd actually said yes to him. He was going to marry her! It was the best feeling in the world, like every bad memory or feeling that he had ever experienced had just disappeared from him because all that mattered was Clary. He'd never felt so happy having Clary in his arms.

-Impulses-

Clary couldn't believe what was happening; Jace had just asked her to marry him. It was completely out of the blue but how could she possibly say no to him. All she'd ever wanted was to be connected to him in every way possible and now she could. All that was running through her head was that they were going to get married. He spun her around and then put on back on her feet, he looked so happy. Clary watched as Jace pulled the ring out of the box and slipped it onto her finger. It felt like nothing she'd ever felt before, the cool metal rubbing against her soft skin.

It was beautiful, Clary looked down at it and couldn't believe how amazing it looked, the silver wrapping around her finger and the diamonds sparkling at her as if winking and saying, 'good choice'. She noticed the golden lace wrapping around the bands and couldn't take her eyes of the ring that was going to stay on her finger. Jace pulled her into a tight hug and kissing her lips passionately but sweetly. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck as his found their place on her hips. It wasn't a lie that that was Jace's favourite part to put his hands…. So far. And Clary knew it.

When Jace finally pulled away, he whispered into her ear, "Do you like the engagement party?"

"This is our engagement party?" Clary asked in complete disbelief. It was obviously the work of Isabelle but all these people. They'd all come to see her get engaged. It blew her mind if she was honest with herself. Well it blew her mind that Jace actually proposed! They had never really spoken about it or discussed it and so it took her completely by surprise but she wouldn't have had it any other way. She looked into Jace's eyes and leaned up for a kiss Jace obliging without argument. He pulled Clary into him, wrapping her up tight just the way she liked it and they just stood there for a moment enjoying their kiss. However it wasn't long before Jace pulled away and reminded her that they had to go back inside, congratulations were in order and Clary knew they wouldn't get this kind of alone time for the rest of the night.

Two weeks later

Isabelle was already loading Clary up with wedding magazines and pointing out nice dresses, flower arrangements and everything else. It was utterly overwhelming but Clary pushed through because she knew that Iz was just trying to help. She'd asked her best friend if she would be her maid of honour and instead of getting a yes she received squealing and jumping up and down. So basically a yes.

They'd already been out trying on dresses! And Clary thought everyday shopping with Isabelle was disastrous, she didn't know anything until the first wedding dress trip. She shuddered at the thought. Clary had had to try on at least ten different dresses and hadn't really loved any of them, they were gorgeous of course but she knew she had to fall in love with the dress to get it. They weren't cheap and though Isabelle continued to remind her that money wasn't an issue, Clary couldn't bring herself to waist the Lightwoods money.

Jace had already bought his suit but wouldn't let Clary see it; he didn't have to worry about putting on weight. Clary was worried enough she would have to wear an extra-large size dress and though she was fitting into Mediums at the moment, what if she put on more weight?

Jace was continuously telling her she was curvy not fat but she just didn't see it, and the Shadowhunter training wasn't helping. That was just another thing she had to organise, her Shadowhunter qualification. She wanted to marry Jace under a Shadowhunter ceremony but couldn't until she was one. So that meant she had to hurry up and take some final exams and physical and combat tests. Back to the books and training room for at least a few weeks. She was going to get all this over with far in advanced so she could spend most of her time planning the wedding.

-Impulses-

"Isabelle, I just don't think it's the one" Clary complained to her friend whilst staring at herself in the long window. The long silk white wedding dress was hanging and grabbing in all the wrong places. The difficult thing was white was a colour for funerals in Shadowhunter custom but the colour for weddings in mundane. So Clary was just trying on any dress she liked the look of and seeing if it was the right one. She was just going by feeling at the moment.

"But Clary! It looks perfect!" Isabelle whined as she sat on the small sofa in the middle of the change rooms. Clary started to unzip her dress straight away ignoring Isabelle's comment and walking in an underdress back to the racks of wedding gowns. There were just so many choices. She picked out a tight fitted dress with sequins and jewels coating the strapless top. It hang down below her waist poofing out only slightly with jewels, lace and gems trailing the bottom of the dress. It had a small trail of twirling material like small waves. It just seemed perfect.

"Iz, what about this one?"

"Oh my Angel! Get it on! Now Clary! Try it on!" Isabelle yelped excitedly almost unable to stay seated.

"Okay, okay!" Clary got the assistant to help her pull it up and looked in the mirror. The corset hugged her nicely, making her breasts look bigger, not that Jace would care how big they were, but it was still a plus. The wavy trail behind her complemented her short figure making her look slightly taller and if she wore heels which was inevitably if Isabelle was coming with her, she would look even taller.

"Isabelle, I think this is the one" Clary said as she twirled around smiling to herself. She really felt like a princess in it, twirling around, she felt beautiful which didn't happen often.

"How much is it?" Clary asked the assistant

"Well it is a one of a kind designer dress, so that would obviously affect the dress and also it was hand sewn in France. So overall it comes to a total of $125,000 and that's non-negotiable" The woman explained.

"Isabelle that's too much I can't" Clary started but Isabelle interrupted her.

"Clary, do you] love it?" Isabelle asked.

"Well yes but-"

"We'll take it thank you" Isabelle said directing her answer to the assistant.

"Very good. I'll pack it up for you now?"

"Of course" as Clary slipped out of the dress and handed it to the assistant whom she realised was called Brianna, and went into a change room to swap from the under dress to her jeans and a top. Training was in a couple of hours but she didn't think it would a good idea to step out in her training gear. She really loved the dress and could only imagine what Jace would think when he saw her in it.

Hey guys,
