City of heavenly fire. The after story

Were not going (12)

Jake woke up in his new bedroom to to the sound of shouting, he didn't think he had ever heard his parents shout before. They always seemed so happy. He slowly peeled himself out of bed and pulled his door open. As he got nearer the shouting got louder, something about the clave, Jake opened his parents room and stood in the door way rubbing his eyes.

"No Jace were not going!" Clary said whilst pulling her hand out of Jace's grasp. "Clary i know the clave haven't been good to you but we don't get a choice on this one, it's a formal letter if we don't show up they will just come get us and trust me there not kind to deserters" he said whilst trying to calm Clary down who had started to pace the room. When they heard the door open they both swung round to see Jake stood in the doorway rubbing his eyes. "Jake" clary said as her motherly instincts took over. She walked over to him and picked him up. "How long have you been stood there listening?" Jace asked sternly. "I ownly just woke up daddy i heawd you shouting swo i came to see what it was about" Jake said as his eyes began to water. Great clary thought, he hated it when his dad shouted at him and clary hated it when he cried. It was like ripping a hole in her heart. "I know daddy's sorry" clary said hugging Jake closer to her. She could sense Jace behind her staring. When he was like this he wouldn't go near their son. He was afraid he would snap at him and upset him. "Let's go back to bed" clary said looking at the clock and seeing it was half twelve in the morning. Her and jace had been arguing for hours and she was fed up of arguing. She walked Jake out of the door and tucked him back into his own bed. She kissed him goodnight and sat with him until he fell asleep.

Clary decided she couldn't take it anymore, she needed to clear her head. She headed down the stairs and didn't turn when she heard there bedroom door open. "Where are you going?" Jace asked clearly getting distressed. "Out" was all clary said as she grabbed her coat and slammed the door shut behind her.

Jace stared at the door. He couldn't blame her. She had no good experiences with the clave. But they all knew this would happen sooner or later. They had avoided clave meetings for about six years now and it was bound to happen. Jace was about to go after her when he heard a cough. He swung around to see Jake stood at the top of the stairs with tear marks down his cheeks. Clary would come back when had calmed down but his son looked terrified. Jace sighed, "Jake mate lets go back to bed" he said as he walked up the stairs and held Jake's hand. "Where's mommy" Jake asked as he yawned. "She's gone out for some air buddy, why aren't you in bed?" Jace asked sternly but softly so that be didn't upset their son. "I don't want you to get a divorce" Jake said and Jace stopped and looked at him choking on shock. "What?" Jace asked in shock. His trainer at the institute. 'Emily' must of told him about them. Great Jace thought."you and mommy, please don't leave her daddy" he said whilst his eyes started to water. Jace laughed and rubbed his sons face with his thumb "buddy me and mommy aren't getting a divorce. Mommy just doesn't want to go back to idris. But we have to go back there pal for a meeting. The people there will be very nice to you and play trains with you" Jace said whilst smiling at their son. "Really daddy?" He said and began to smile. "Are we all going?" He asked and jace assumed he meant Alec and izzy and everyone as well. "Yes pal everyones going. So you need all the rest you can get, do you want me to tuck you in?" Jace asked as he let go of his sons hand. "No daddy" Jake said as though it was the most stupid thing he had ever heard. He had decided it was uncool for his dad to do anything for him anymore and would only settle for his mommy tucking him in. But he did let Jace read to him. "Ok but you have to go to sleep ok?" He said sternly and Jake frowned, "why else is it called bed daddy" he scoffed and walked off in search for his room.

Jace sat and watched the door for the next three hours until he too could no longer keep his eyes open. And dove into a worrying sleep for his wife's safety.

Clary walked home after visiting simon and izzy and had to put there now five month old baby to bed because they were both shattered. In a way clary was glad that Jake was so quiet when he was a baby, but he most defiantly made up for it now.clary opened their front door ready to dive back into another argument with Jace but instead came to the most heart warming thing she had ever seen. Jace was asleep in the middle of the room, he had pulled a chair up to near the front door and looked as though he hadn't meant to fall to sleep. Clary smiled and closed the front door quietly, being careful not to wake him. She walked up to him and pulled their sons blanket off the back of the couch and laid it over him carefully. As she pulled away she felt a hand grab hers and she gasped in shock. "Where have you been?" Jace asked as he opened his eyes. "I was at Simons, they got an invite too and well their both going" clary said sighing. And Jace looked up at her worryingly. "Clary it will be fine ok, we will make sure Jake is with people we know and we will get this over and done with". Jace said smiling up at her apologetically. "Fine" clary said before sitting on Jace's lap with her legs either side of his. Jace looked up at her and wiggled his eyebrows, "you know Jake asked me if were getting a divorce" he said and clary literally choked out loud. "What!" She said sounding shocked. "It's fine i told him no, but who taught him that? Do you think it was emily?" He asked uneasily, "no" clary said and she sighed. "I think it was Robyn" she said sighing. Robyn was also a student in the institute and was the same age as Jake, she was so his best friend and had been since day one. Jake was so defensive of her. Even more than his train set, and that was worrying. "Jace i'm tired, iv'e been up trying to get amy to bed for izzy and simon" she yawned and Jace took the opportunity to pick her up bridal style and walk them up the stair to their room. Jace put her on the bed carefully and dumped himself down next to her. "You know" Jace said with a grin. "You did promise me later" he said quirking an eyebrow. "So i did" Clary said whilst rolling on top of him and kissed him sweetly on the lips.
