Clary's POV
The next day I am planning Avy's second birthday party when I hear a little voice come from her play pen.
"Mama," it says. I turn around and see her say mama again.
"Clarke," I say, "Avy is talking."
Clarke comes in as Avy says mama again. I grab my phone and call Jace.
"Hello," he says.
"Avy is talking," I say then I hang up. Five minutes later the doorbell rings. Clarke answers it to see Jace. He comes in and I tell Avy to say Mama.
"Ma ma," she says and I smile. Jace comes over and looks down at our baby girl. He puts his hand on my shoulder and I move out of the way. He looks at me.
"Nope," I say, "help me plan her party."
"Fine," he says. We spend the next three hours planning the party. I send out a text to Simon, Izzy, Alec, Magnus, my mom, Luke, and Maryse.
You're Invited! You're invited to Avyanna Herondale's 2nd birthday party. It is next week at 4:30 pm. Hope to see you there.
~Clary & Jace
I tell Clarke the information and she nods. I then get a text from Izzy.
CLARY AND JACE? ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING? ~Izzy
No Izzy, I am not. ~Clary
I hear Avy crying so I turn my phone off and turn towards her. I see Jace pick her up. He starts cooing and rocking her. She stops crying and starts giggling. I smile and go over there. He hands her to me and I rock her gently. He puts his arm around me and I freeze. I notice Avy is asleep so I take her to her room. I set her in her crib and go back to my room.
"Did I do something wrong?" Jace asks me. I shake my head no.
"Then why did you freeze up when I put my arm around you?"
I missed you putting your arm around me. I missed the smell from your clothes. I missed you, but it's been more than a year. I'm not used to it anymore. I think to myself. I look at him.
"I missed you putting your arm around me. I missed the smell from your clothes. I missed you, but it's been more than a year. I'm not used to it anymore. It sort of scared me," I say. I get up and run outside. I climb the tree again and sit there. I think about what I just said. I said the truth but I was scared to.
"Clary please come down from the tree," Jace says. I look at him and slowly climb down. He comes over to me and pulls me to him. I put my face against his chest and wrap my arms around him. I smell his shirt and get the smell that I missed. I smile and look up at him.
"I missed you Jace Herondale," I say.
"I missed you too Clary Fray," Jace says.

"I missed you putting your arm around me. I missed the smell from your clothes. I missed you, but it's been more than a year. I'm not used to it anymore. It sort of scared me," Clary says.
She gets up and runs outside. She climbs up the tree and sits there. Thinking about what she told me I run outside after her.
"Clary please come down from the tree," I tell her. She looks down at me and slowly starts to climb down. I go over to her and pull her to me. She puts her face against my chest and wraps her arms around me. She smells my shirt and I laugh. She smiles and looks up at me.
"I missed you Jace Herondale," Clary tells me.
"I missed you too Clary Fray," I tell her. I lean down and give her a kiss. We go back inside.
"So when are you going to show me that video of Avy's first birthday?" I ask making her laugh.
"Right now," she says. She grabs her laptop and pulls the video up.
"Happy Birthday Baby Girl," I hear Clary say. Avy smashes her hand into the cake. I hear Clary laugh.
Clace is back together! Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
