I put the small child in my arms down. He had gold hair with red streaks. And it was natural.
I tucked him in his crib, watching his chest rise and fall. Cute kid.
My kid.

I ran down stairs and thought of Isabelle. I'm sure she would be mad at me- I just out and vanished. I guess no one knows why.
Well, maybe Jace.

Then a rune popped in my mind.
Telepathy.
I smiled and quickly drew the rune down. I grabbed a box and put the piece of paper in it. I started writing a note. I placed it in the box. I grabbed my lip gloss and placed it next to the note.
I smiled and taped the box closed.
I knew exactly who this was going to be sent to.

Isabelle.

I dropped the box off at the postal service and ran back home. Luckily Henry was still asleep.

I ran back down to the living room after checking on Henry. I made a fast dinner and ran back to my room. There I lay in bed and try to think about what happened two years ago.

I don't remember it clearly.
But I do recall walking down the hall at the institute to jaces room. There was a boy, about my age at the time, who shoved my against the wall. I started screaming and crying. He kissed me. I shoved him away and jace was standing there. I had tears running down my face. I was tougher than that but him being there made me want to break down.
"Clary" he said in a stern voice. "Why were you kissing him."
I stood shocked.
"You think I kissed HIM!" I screeched. "HE pinned ME! Why else do you think I was screaming!"
He didn't believe me. He looked mad as ever.
"That's ok, clary. You don't have to lie to me."
I scoffed.
"You think I'm lying?" I said in a quiet voice.
He stayed silent.
"Jace.... I swear to god I would never. I swear on the angel, jace. I swear." My voice was quiet and calm but the tears were coming slowly.
"I need to tell you something clary."
I looked in his eyes. They looked different. Dull.
"What?"
"I went to takis and kaelie drugged my drink. Clary I'm so sorry. I thought she was you. Clary..." I saw him hug me as tears dripped from both our eyes.
Then I heard the windows of his room open and a thump.
What?
"Jace?" I asked. "Who was that?"
The tears were slow but kept rolling down his face.
"Jaaaaaace! Why are you taking long? I would come over there but it's comfy here! and a breeze!"
More tears escaped my eyes.
Why was another girl in his room?
Then it hit me. That's why he was crying.
I dropped the pregnancy test and fell to the floor.
"Jace. What happened."
"I-I- I'm sorry, Clary."
More tears spilled from my eyes. They were hotter and faster.
I looked at the test and put it in front of jace before running.

I come back to reality with tears streaking my face and the sound of my kid crying.

I stumbled to his room and picked Henry up.
"It's ok now. Mamas got you. Mamas all you need."
