City of heavenly fire. The after story

Back on your feet (28)

Clary woke to the sound of laughter. "I told you we'd find him wherever Clary was" a voice said. Clary believed this one belonged to izzy. "Yeah well i was more worried than anyone can imagine. He was with me and then he was sent off with rue and he never returned. I had to bath Jake an everything" another female voice said. This one belonging to Emma. "Haha, look at them. They seem so sweet and innocent" izzy said before Clary heard movement and then Jace beside her shifted position. "Yeah well beats sleeping in a room with your friends little brother" Jace said as Clary felt him sit up. "Be quiet anyway, i'm surprised you haven't woken her already. She was mumbling constantly last night so i imagine she is tired" Jace said, his voice rugged and sweet, how it always is when he wakes up. "I'm sorry, were sorry" Emma said as there was more noise. "It's just, you didn't come back last night and rue was moaning about you breaking something and going on a war path, plus" she added with a sharp tone. "Jake wanted to see his mommy" she said and at this Clary slowly opened her eyes. Her leg was still throbbing but the pain was a little less sharp than last night. "Can you at least try to be quiet?" Clary asked as she sat up, looking back at them was a tired and white eyed izzy and an even tireder looking Emma who's shirt looked like it was thrown on. They both had their hair up in a messy bun and Clary couldn't help but smile at Emma. "Don't worry, he doesn't sleep well without us. I'll take him back later, you have seriously done enough for us" Clary said with a smile and emma looked to the ground. "No it's fine, you need to rest. Your leg looks nasty and anyway. I enjoy looking after Jake, he reminds me of you two, but hell yeah he better sleep more tonight, he was up constantly last night, Jace i swear you taught him too well. He snuck by me four times. And i was practically sat on the door" she said with a smile, as though the thought delighted her. "That's my boy" Jace said proudly as he stood up. "Are you ok? Not in too much pain? because i can get someone if you are" Jace said worriedly and Clary shooed him off with a flick of her hand. "No but your annoying me, go get our son" she said smiling as he pouted at her. "Butt bedd" he moaned as he picked up his jeans and shrugged them on. "Will be here all day, so hurry up" she said with a smile as he shifted to the door. "Don't let her boss you around too much girls, it gets to her head" he said with a smile as he slipped out the door.

"Lets see the battle scar then" Emma said but before Clary could move izzy whipped her into a hug. "You have no idea how grateful i am Clary, you saved all our lives, more times than i can count. You saved simon" she said but it was slightly muffled by Clary's hair. "Izzy" Clary said politely. "Yes" she replied just as kindly. "Your hurting my leg" she said with a small laugh as izzy pulled back. "Oh god i am so sorry" she said looking down to the quilt which covered Clary's leg.

"This is sweet and all but i really do need to check on my patient" a woman said as she opened the door wide and strode through, leaving it open behind her. "And you two shouldn't be in here, just wait until i get hold of that Jace". With this Clary laughed slightly. "He can be a lot to handle. Both my boys can" she said smiling. "Yeah well that happened to be my favourite mug" rue said sadly before walking straight up to Clary and pulling the quilt off her. "Hmm" she said as she examined the bandage that was now slick with blood, "you need a new dressing but apart from that everything looks fine, you defiantly look a lot more alive than last night" she said with a smile. "Yeah well i don't remember anything" Clary said, she wasn't lying she couldn't remember anything after she finished the portal. She didn't even remember how she got back. "Your husband carried you the whole way back, and nearly broke the whole damn infirmary when he couldn't find you. Usually i would kick people out for the night visits but i didn't really want to get on the bad side of him" she said whilst starting to unwrap the bandage. "He's not that bad" izzy said as she sat in the chair Jace had occupied last night. "Not that bad" rue scoffed. "Sure, i sure as hell wouldn't want to be married to him" she said as she carried on unwrapping Clary's leg. But before Clary could stick up for him Emma laughed. "You have no idea. He is the best shadow-hunter our generation has seen" she said matter of faculty. "Well that doesn't stop him from being stubborn" rue said as she pulled at the bandage quite ruggedly, making Clary grit her teeth. "Your hurting her" izzy said as she tried to stop rue from pulling. "I'm not paid to be kind" rue said as she reached the last bandage. She peeled back the bandage carefully to reveal an angry and red looking slash that ran nearly the whole length of her thigh and wen't the whole way through. There were 22 stitches that Clary could count running vertically down her leg and even izzy seemed to tense besides her. "Don't worry, it's not as bad as yesterday" rue said with a laugh. "Hard to work with that much blood believe me" she said harshly before pulling out a clean load of bandages. "Your going to need them for a while" she said pointing to the far wall where a pair of thin black crutches were propped up against the wall

"Thank you" Clary said as rue finished dressing the wound back up. "It's my job" rue simply said before heading back towards the door. "Oh and by the way, you gave Jia quite a shock the other day when Jace carried you through. I suggest visiting her when your up to it. And after eight it's no visitors. Not even for lover boy" she said before leaving.

"Well she was a bundle of laughs" izzy said as she shifted position in the chair. "She scares the hell out of me" Emma added as she sat on the table in the corner of the room. "She didn't seem thats bad, just...lonely" Clary said as she tried to get up, as soon as she put any kind of weight on her leg it made her scream and hold back tears. The pain was that intense. She didn't plan on getting stabbed again too soon in the future. "Wow easy does it" izzy said as she helped Clary into a sitting position. Clary was about to say thank you until she heard giggling and foot steps approaching from the corridor. Before anyone could question it Jake burst into the room and just behind him was a red faced Jace. "Jesus Jake slow down will you" Jace said as he started to pant. "MOMMY!" Jake squealed and before Clary could brace herself Jake ran and leapt into her grasp. Clary bit back a scream as he hugged tight to her. "Easy does it pal, mommy's not to well" Jace said kindly as he lifted a squirming Jake off her and set him down on the floor. "Does this mean i can go fight with daddy now?" Jake asked with a wicked grin as he looked up to his daddy. "You've got to help keep the house and mommy safe" Jace said and before he could stop him Jake squealed and ran out of the room. Jace swore and headed to the door only to be stopped by Emma. "She needs you here, i'll get him" she said with a smile before bounding off into the hallway. "Anyone would think she loves our son" Jace said with a smile before turning to izzy and scowling. "That's my seat" he said rudely. "Yeah and i'm sat in it" Izzy said just as stubbornly. Clary smiled before swinging her legs out of the bed. "Wow where do you think your going?" Jace asked as he approached her with a frown. "I need the toilet. You gonna stop me?" She asked hurtfully. "No" he said as he turned around a grabbed the crutches from the corner of the room and threw them to Izzy who caught them easily in one hand. "Thank you" Clary said as izzy handed them to her carefully. With all her strength she pushed herself up with a slight gasp. All of a sudden she found arms holding her waist and turned to see Jace smiling down at her. With his help and the crutches Clary made it to the toilet easily. "You can't follow me with this bit" Clary said with a smile as he let go of her. "Want to bet?" He asked as he quirked his eyebrow. "No" Clary said with a smile as she shut the door. Shutting the rest of the world out
