City of heavenly fire. The after story

The clave's meeting (21) pt 2

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Jocelyn demanded as she sat back on the bed, Jace and Clary stood
In the Door really awkwardly and stared at her mom, she had taken the news better then expected, but it probably hadn't sank in yet. "Get out
Please" Her mom said as she sat up on the bed, "please" she repeated and this time Jace grabbed her wrist and led her out the door, closing it silently
Behind him, "she needs time to think, and talking about thinking, where is Jake? He is usually up by six every morning" he asked with a military frown, "so our soldier slept in, leave him bee will you" Clary said as she slid down the door frame Until she was sat on the cold Earth. Well wood floor of the hall but close enough, Jace was about to join her when Isabelle popped round the corner worryingly. "Oh thank god it's you
Two, the court is ready for you Clary and umm we need to talk after,
Ok?" She asked looking really worried, "ok" Clary said as Jace helped her to her feet, lets go tell the court, Clary thought glumly.

"Mrs. Frey" the questioning dictator said as he neared the stage she had been put on, she could see the soul sword behind jia's seat,
And knew that they were going to use it on her again, she was used to the feeling now but it still wasn't pleasant. "It's herondale" she said plainly as though talking to a piece of garbage on the floor. "My apologies mrs.herondale" he said with just as much flatness, she could tell he was forced to come here today, clearly to him it was a matter of low importance. "Please mrs can you explain to us the meaning of your meeting with the queen of the seelie court and exactly what happened during your time in their domain?" The guy said as he closed the gap between him and the stage, "fine but is the sword Necessary ?" She asked worryingly, " i mean can it hurt unborn babies?" She asked as the crowd gasped, some knew that she was pregnant but the majority didn't, she looked around for her mom and Luke but they were no where to be seen, neither was Isabelle or Alec. The only person visible was Jace, who had sat himself as near to the stage as he could get, life so that if Clary gasped in pain he would be the first person to get to her, she guessed. "No" said the man snapping Clary out of her day dream, "to answer your question mrs.herondale, it can not hurt children even those that are un-born". Clary sighed and rolled her shoulders back to crack them, "ok lets get this over with" she said smiling the best smile she could muster at Jace, who sent one back just as sadly.

"Are you ok ? You don't feel funny do you? Do you feel sick? Does your hand hurt" Jace said as he leapt up on to the stage, after Clary had told the Clave everything that had happened, including about the child, the Clave members and council representatives wen't into the back room to discus the matter further, leaving just the audience and lower council members to let the news they had just been told sink in. "No" Clary said pushing his hand away that was caressing her face, "i'm fine Jace, i feel fine" she said as jumped down off the stage and headed for the back door, she hadn't seen Jake all day. And she had a bad feeling about it. She pushed her way by the crowd that had gathered by the door and made her way down the corridor, she had been so busy with herself she had forgotten to check on Jake, and she had a really bad feeling. She practically crashed through the door into Jake's room, he had swapped with Dru and was now sharing a room with emma, Clary wouldn't admit it but it made her a little nervous that he wasn't sharing a room with his dad, but that was good, it meant he was learning to let go of his dad a little. She looked around frantically and sighed when her eyes rested on Jake. he was sat on the floor drawing a picture with Emma. "Oh hi" Emma said as she stood up brushing down her trousers, "umm Isabelle was looking for you about three minutes ago and sorry me and Jake haven't been out, he said he wasn't feeling well" she said as she smiled apologetically at Clary who's heart was still beating five hundred miles per hour because of shock worry and relief. "It's fine, i was just checking up on you" Clary said as she walked over to Jake who was lying on the floor trying to stay awake long enough to finish his drawing, Clary picked up his head as she sat down and rested
It on her lap, she slowly played with his hair like she used to do when he was younger. "Where's daddy?" Jake asked slurring slightly with tiredness, "he's still at the meeting buddy" she said as she looked up at Emma. "How long has he been like this?" She asked worryingly, she knew it was just a cold, but still she didn't like to see her little boy ill. "All day" she said with a shrug, "i knew you had stuff to worry about so i kept him in here, i gave him some water but apart from that he has just been stubborn as usual and wouldn't sleep unless you or Jace was here" she said as she started to pack up the colours. Clary could hear Jake slightly snoring, little cute wheezy noises. "well he's asleep now" Clary said as she picked him up carefully and walked towards the bed he was staying in. "I will never understand how you did that" Emma moaned,"i've been trying to het him to sleep for hours" she said sighing, "i'm his mom" Clary pointed out bluntly. "It's my job to make him sleep, his dad does the playing and gets to play good cop whereas i am the practical one and i guess i'm bad cop" she said smiling as she tucked Jake into ned and wrapped his blanket around him. "Plus" she added whilst pulling his pillow down so he didn't pull his neck "it's all about trust, i mean he grew up with me and Jace and i know you mean well but we taught... Well mostly Jace taught him well, to be cautious of strangers. don't worry he will warm up to you" she said as she smiled and turned to Emma. who was watching Jake sleep. "he is so much like Jace" she said laughing slightly. "he is special" she added almost to herself. "i know he is" Clary said and as soon as she said it the door burst open. "Clary!" Isabelle screamed and Clary put a finger to her lip. "shhh we just got him off and he doesn't feel well" she said frowning at izzy who looked like she was about to collapse. "it's simon" she said trying to lower her voice a tiny bit. "the fair folk got hold of him and i couldn't get to him, i couldn't stop them" she said with tears beginning to well up under her eyes. "what!" Clary screamed just as loudly as she grabbed her jacket and ran out of the room, leaving both izzy and Emma staring at her in shock well izzy was already in shock and probably didn't notice
