City of heavenly fire. The after story

More than we bargained for ? (23)

Clary wafted back and forth in the water. they were waiting on izzy to tell them when to step into the moon light but they had been waiting for ten minutes now

And Clary was starting to freeze. "is this feeling like day-ja-vu to anyone else?" Jace asked as he strode towards her and izzy, even in water he was graceful and Clary would never tell him, but damn hot. "your lips are blue" he said brushing a finger over her lips gently. "shut up i was watching you" she said fake pouting. "Well i think i care more for your well being, and when we get in there i want you by my side at all times, is that clear?" He asked her like she was four year old. "yes sir" Clary said with a salute. "good

Soldier" said izzy from behind, Clary had totally forgotten she was there. "now get your bloated belly into the moon light" she said

Smiling. although Clary could tell it was all a show. "i am not bloated" she scoffed. faking hurt. "actually i can see a little bump i think" Jace said smiling. "or maybe thats just the donuts talking?" he said poking a finger into her stomach. "Screw you" she said walking over to the moon reflection only to be stopped by Jace." please do" he said with a wink and then added "me first buttercup" he Said smiling as he strode by her. Clary wrinkled her nose cutely."Buttercup" she

Said Crossing her arms. "really?" She said shaking her head. "well we had to try it at one point" he said smiling before he stepped

Back into the moon light. "ok pucker-lips" she said winking at him as he disappeared. "so this is what you get up to in your spare time?" izzy asked with a shrug. "who am i to judge" she said

Smiling as she shoved Clary

Forward a bit. "get a move

On preggers" she said smiling slightly through her pain. "really?" Clary asked with a frown. "what i thought we were name calling" izzy called as clary stepped back into the light. only to be swallowed up by darkness.

"Easy does it" Jace said as he slowly helped Clary

To her feet. "you didn't fall hard did you?" he asked, his voice full of concern. "no Jace, i think you caught me" she said smiling sweetly at him. he brushed his finger over her lips slowly and then shrugged his Jacket off. "your going blue" he said pushing the jacket over her shoulders as she shimmied her arms through it. "your not cold?" she asked, her motherly instincts taking over."no i'm fine Clary, i'm not the pregnant one" he said as he dusted off his wet trousers. she was about to speak when a shape hurtled by them. Clary turned around just as izzy landed gracefully on her feet. "nail it every time" she said looking up from the floor. "So left

Or right?" she asked curiously. "the queens quarters are left, so i suggest that way" Jace said, his military side starting to show. "no need" a voice from behind them said. and both her and Jace spun at the same time to an unfamiliar fairy staring at them. "and you are?"Jace asked, leaning on the wall almost as if he was bored. "lets just say. not a friend of the queens" the man said with a malicious grin.

Jace walked down the hallway with dresance the fairy that they had met whist izzy and Clary walked behind him. "why are you helping us?" Jace asked as he turned to make sure

Clary was able to keep up. "you

Love her a lot" the man said taking Jace by surprise. "of course

I do. have you seen her" he said, taking another quick glance at her. "she is special, she has a lot

Of heart" dresance said with a shrug. "i wish fairy's

Could love" he said with a sigh. "were you hitting on my wife there" Jace asked with a smile. "you know full well son of valentine that i was not" he said sounding serious. "stop!" Jace called out rather loudly. causing both him and dresance and Clary and izzy to stop dead in their tracks. "why?" Dresance asked, curiosity dripping from his tone. "you don't hear that?" Jace asked with a small smile and shake of his head."and i thought they taught you fairies so well" he said as he leaned forward and poked his head around the corner. "izzy" he said without looking at her. "yeah" she answered shyly, most probably afraid of whatever plan Jace was coming up. "How flirtatious are you feeling today?" Jace asked, izzy scoffed

And laughed slightly. "i'm married Jace" she said holding up a finger. "see" she said twirling it on her finger. "Well i think and i am just using initiative here but i think simon is behind that door them men are trying so hard to protect, and i was just saying that you flirting a little to get hold of there keys would surely help us get simon back but what the hell i guess you don't care. come on Clary we should go get some tea from taki's" he said sarcastically as he turned back to them. "fine" izzy said as she stepped carefully around Jace. "but just so were clear, simon never hears about this and i swear if you mention it Jace i will personally castrate you" she said with an evil smile before she disappeared behind the corner. "that woman scares me" dresance said as he shifted position. "i know" both Clary and Jace said at the same time. Clary was about to move when she felt a sharp pain go through her stomach. she writhed in pain as she tried no to scream out. "Clary" Jace called as he skidded to a stop next to her. kicking dust up around them. "shit" Clary said as she grabbed his hand. she moved his hand over her stomach and Jace opened his mouth as though he was about to say something but stopped as he felt the kick. Even in the darkness of the tunnels

Jace's smile was radiating. "she had to be awkward" Clary said as she sat down carefully. "just

Like her mother" Jace said and as

Soon as he did izzy came walking around the corner again. "omg guys i swear men are all the same. i don't even think they knew what colour my eyes were" she said as she pulled her hair back up into a messy bun. "why are we all surrounding clary? is it some sort of sacrifice?" She asked dryly. as soon as she did Jace dropped his hand from Clary's stomach and the smile he had was replaced by a military hardness. "did you get the key?" he asked quizzically. "of course i got the key, it's what you sent me for didn't you?" She scoffed before tossing him the key. "now what?" She asked as she looked around warily. "now we get simon back". he said with a determined glint in his eye. they moved to corner and peeked over. no one was guarding the door anymore which was suspicious but it worked better for them, so they just went along with it. Soundlessly Jace crept around the corner and made his way to the door. after about a minute the others followed. until they were all stood in front of the door that either led them to simon or to an inevitable fait. Jace put the key into the door and twisted. they all stood still as he pushed the door open slowly.....
