Hi guys! Chapter 15! That's exciting! I first want to thank all of you for being so good to me when it comes to reviews, follows, favorites, and suggestions with the names (which I'm still taking. You can PM me or put it in a review). I love you guys. Now about the chapter. It is indeed short but I promise that the next chapter will be dramatic! Duh duh DUUUHHHH!

SIXTH MONTH
"Clary hurry up or we'll be late," said Isabelle, shouting from the doorway.
"You try waddling down these stairs," I shouted from the third step from the bottom. We were going to Max's school performance. He was playing a lead role in school play, Aladdin. After finally waddling down the stairs, we rushed out to Alec's car. We all looked so dressed up. Isabelle was wearing a long black jumpsuit with gold heels and earrings and I was wearing a dark green dress that made my booming baby bump the center of attention.
"Alec, you look so cute and dressed up," I said, seeing Alec. Instead of his black shabby sweaters, he wore a black blazer that made his eyes seem bluer. His cheeks flamed as he started the car.
"Magnus picked it out," said Isabelle from the passenger's seat. Alec's cheeks flamed even more. He and Magnus got back together since the incident in our apartment. As we drove, we made small talk about what Max was in the play (He was Aladdin), food after the performance (we were thinking Taki's since Max was ten now), and the weather (which was cold). We got to the auditorium with a few minutes to spare. And of course, Maryse and Robert had the four seats next to them reserved within the second row of seats. We all took our spots. Me, then Isabelle, then Alec, and then when Magnus came Magnus.
"Clary, biscuit, you look stunning," said Magnus, who stood at the end of the row looking at me. I smiled and pointed to Isabelle.
"What about me? Don't I look stunning too?" asked Isabelle, puffing out her chest.
"You know how stunning you look regardless of what I tell you, Isabelle. But yes, you look stunning as well," he said, sitting down, and I laughed at Isabelle's expression. The orchestra had started and the lights were dimming. The show was about to start.
TIME SKIP
It had surprised me. I would've never thought that shy little Max Lightwood could sing, dance, and act so well. Everything was up to par with what I had seen in the Disney movie. I could see all of the Lightwood eyes glittering with pride in the darkness and awe as they watched their son. After the play was over, Maryse and Robert went to go find him back stage.
"I thought it was wonderful. He had so much talent. Did you hear his singing? I didn't even know he could sing," rambled Isabelle, with even more pride in her eyes.
"He was positively wonderful," said Magnus. And then Maryse and Robert came out with Max.
"There's our little star,' shouted Isabelle, running up to him. She hugged him tightly telling him over and over that he was so good. Alec patted him on the back telling him he did well and Magnus gave him a hug and compliments. I just stood there towards the back watching. Then Max saw me and he screeched, lunging for me.
"Clary, you came. Did you like it? Was I good," he asked, after releasing me from a bone crushing hug.
"You, my friend, were wonderful. I loved it," I said and his smile widened. We walked back to the car together. Flowers in one of his hands and Isabelle's hand in his other. I smiled. Isabelle was going to be a great aunt.
Cute Lightwood moment with Max. Max will not die in the story so you can all release the breath you were holding. I just thought it would a cute little story before the trouble in paradise. Don't forget to review, follower, favorite!
Hugs and kisses!
