Better together (a clace fan fiction)

Ignored

"Clary. Clary, come on get up" I hear Jonathan say. I open my eyes. I look around the room. No one is in here except me and Jonathan. Jonathan is standing beside me.

For the past few days I have been having to have Jonathan wake me up for breakfast. If he doesn't I will sleep till lunchtime and Grace will never get fed and the castle might fall apart. Actually Grace might get fed. Charlotte might feed her.

I sigh and lay my head back on the pillow staring up at the ceiling. I turn my head and look over at Jonathan. "Do you know where he is" I ask. Jonathan knows just who I'm talking about. Jace. "The workers said they saw him go into the office a few hours ago. His food has been delivered in there and he hasn't come out since. Same as yesterday and the days before that" He tells me. I figured.

I sit up. "Okay just let me get dressed and we can head down to breakfast" I say. Jonathan nods.

I get up and go get changed in the closet. We both go down to the nursery. I see Charlotte with Grace. "I just got in here ma'am. I went ahead and changed her diaper for you. I'm not sure what you wanted me to change her into so I was going to wait for you" she tells me. "Thank you Charlotte. I can take her. I will change her clothes and go feed her breakfast" I tell her. She nods and leaves the room. I change Grace into a small Green onesie. The three of us go to breakfast after that.

"So what are you going to do today" I ask my brother. "I wasn't planning on doing much of anything. Training with Alice after breakfast, but that's about it. Why" he asks. "I don't know. I don't really have anything else to do today either. You want to do something later" I ask him. "Yeah sure" he says happily.

"I don't like that new Grant kid you let stay here" he says. "Why" I ask. "I don't know. There's something about him I just don't like" he says.

I feed Grace her bottle and I eat my breakfast after her.

After breakfast we go our seperate ways. Jonathan goes to the library and I go over to where the office is. I hesitate when I get outside the door. Should I go in there? Yes. I'm going to go in there.

I knock on the door. No answer.

I open it anyway. I see him sitting behind the desk looking at some papers.

"Jace" I ask. "What do you want" he snaps. "I just wanted to see if you needed my help? I didn't see you at breakfast this morning again. I was wondering if something is wrong" I tell him. He finally looks up at me. "I'm fine. You just go off and do whatever you want. Don't worry about it or about me. Just go" he says sounding irritated. I didn't even do anything but ask what's wrong. He looks tired and I can tell something is wrong.

"Jace whats wrong? I know something is wrong. You can tell me. I'm your queen and your wife. I don't want to pressure you or anything, but I want to help. I don't want to see you carry a huge weight on your shoulders alone. Let me help you and carry some of that weight too" I plead. "I'm fine. It's fine clary! It would be too big for you to bear. Don't worry about it" he says frustrated. I hold my little girl closer to me. I take a deep breath trying to calm myself down. I don't want to fight with him because if I do it will bring back bad memories. "I'm always going to worry about you. You are my husband. I love you Jace. Please don't shut me out" I say. "Clary, just leave me alone and forget about this" he says louder in a more commanding voice. Grace starts crying.

I nod and leave the office. Something is going on and he wont tell me. I need to wait a little while to see if he will actually open up. I will give him some time, whether it be days or weeks I will wait to see if he opens up to me. If he doesn't tell me what going on after two months I will have to force it off of him.

I take Grace to her nursery and rock her in her rocking chair. "Shh... its okay Grace" I coo trying to calm her down. I rock her a little bit. She eventually calms down.
