A/N- in honor of mothers day, heres this little creation

TRIGGER WARNING: DEATH

After a while, Magnus gave izzy a serum to give Clary if she acts up again. He revealed that it was probably part of her fight or flight responses and it was just acting up at the wrong time. Clary woke up too. She saw Izzy's bloody nose and immediately apologized. "Izzy, I'm so sorry, did I get you anywhere else?" She asked in a small voice. Izzy nodded. "Yes, but it's not too bad, dont worry about it," Izzy said. "I'm sorry, izzy, I'm really sorry," she said. "It's okay, it's fine now," Izzy said. "Can you come into bed with me, I'm tired," Clary said. Izzy giggled. "Of course I can," she said, getting into bed next to her. They both fell asleep very quickly, unaware of the day ahead.

Izzy woke up feeling strangely sad. This day was familiar to her, but she couldn't quite figure it out. She made herself a cup of coffee and sat down at the table. She went to the bathroom to do her makeup. She hadn't cleaned the blood yet and it was most likely all over her pillow but she didn't really care. She got ready quickly and went back to the living room. When she got there, Clary was sitting on the couch, staring at a picture of her and Alec in the hospital right after he was born. "Morning baba," Clary said. Izzy sat down next to her. "Is everything okay?" Izzy asked. "No, it's mothers day today," Clary said. Izzys face dropped. "Oh.." she said. Clary nodded. "Remember the talk we had on the roof years ago?" Izzy said. Clary nodded. "How could I forget," Clary said. Izzy giggled. "Well, after your funeral, Alec and Maryse were comforting each other, as siblings should, I went to go talk to them and I heard what they were saying. Alec was basically reciting the entire conversation, and Maryse was doing that cute thing that she did where she called you 'mommy' instead of 'mom'," Izzy said. "Really?" Clary said. Izzy nodded. "Can I see them?" Clary asked. "Of course, just get dressed and we can leave straight away, I'm also going to take Alec to my mothers grave, is that okay?" She asked. Clary nodded. Izzy took the picture out of her hands. "You go get dressed, I'll wait here," she said. Clary got up and went to go get dressed. Izzy took a photo off the cabinet. It was a picture of her and her mom after she got her first rune. Her mother looked so happy and proud. It was the first time she saw her smile from what she could remember. She put the photo back and texted Alec.

Izzy: be dressed and ready by 12, I have somewhere to show you ;)

Alec: See you then :)

Izzy giggled and put her phone down. Clary came back after a while dressed fully in white. Magnus arrived after a couple minutes and conjured a bouquet of flowers before leaving them alone. They both walked through the portal to the graveyard outside the institute. She led Clary right to the back and stood in front of her gravestone. Clary wiped her tears. "She's under there," she said, pointing to the ground beneath them. Izzy nodded. She crouched down and put the flowers in front of the stone. Clary did the same. "She was crushed after you died, she didn't leave her room for a week, I had to call her boyfriend to come get her so he could look after her, Alec took it surprisingly well, but I guess the repressed emotions led to his death," Izzy said. "He went to live with Seline and Becky, Jace and Simon's daughters," she said. "At Alec's wedding, Maryse chose a dress that looked identical to my mom's at ours and Malec's wedding, she was so much like her grandmother and I didnt realise it until her last moments," she said. Clary put a hand on her shoulder. "She said 'mommy' before she died, I thought she meant me, but looking back at it, I think she meant you," Izzy said, wiping her tears. "You're very brave, Izzy, for saying all those things, especially after this day," Clary said. Izzy nodded. She took Clary's hand and walked towards the other end of the side near the gate to Alec's grave stone. "My baby boy," Clary muttered. "He committed joint suicide with his husband, I had to identify him," Izzy said. She crouched down and placed her flowers down. Clary followed soon after. Izzy didn't get up though. "He was so much like his uncle, hell they even got married on the same day Julien got back from a business trip in Idris, I always wondered why Magnus had a fond interest in him," she said, slightly laughing. "The night before, I had a dream, about everyone who died, including you, you were the one who told me he was struggling, I was going to talk to him about it, but he died before i got the chance," izzy said. "If I had just gotten to him quicker, maybe we would have had a son to send us a cringey mothers day card," she said, shaking her head. "It's not your fault, you did your best," Clary said. Izzy nodded. She stood up. "Do you mind if I visit my mom for a little, on my own?" Clary asked. Izzy nodded. "I'm not stopping you, just text me when you're home," she said. Clary nodded and walked off. 

Izzy walked inside to see Alec waiting for her. Magnus was standing next to him. "Let's go, big brother," she said. Alec nodded. Magnus created a portal and they stepped through. They arrived at the mundane gravesite and Izzy led him to their mother's grave. "So she really did die," Alec said. Izzy looped her arm in his and nodded. She placed her flowers down and Alec did the same. "Lord do I have a dramatic story about her death," she said. "I was calling her about what happened to my son, and then some bastard came in and killed her. The mundane police haven't caught him yet, which I find ridiculous, there's nothing in the house to track him with," Izzy said. "Wow," Alec said. "You really have been through alot haven't you," Alec said. "You were literally locked up in the guard for five years and everyone thought you were dead, hell, magnus even drew a rune on his arm for you, so don't give me that crap," Izzy said. "He did?" He said. "You didn't know?" She said. He shook his head. "You might wanna check his left arm then," she said. They talked about their mom for a bit before Clary texted her that she was home. "I need to get going, enjoy the rest of your day," she said. Alec nodded as Izzy stepped into a portal created by Magnus.
