After COHF

Chapter 16

yayyy new chapter time:

Clarys smile radiated over the dark room with Lottie craddled in her fathers arms. In just the short time shes been around one earth shes had more love than anyone it felt like. Her entire family and the entire community of nephilim loved her- even if it was only because her parents had kinda sorta maybe saved the earth.

the baby squirmed and opened her mouth into a plump 'o' shape then sank back into Jaces' arms. He smiled at her sleeping face while Clary crossed the room to stand behind the chair over them.

"She's just too like you for anyone not to like her" she smiled.

"well, i must say she did get my good looks," He teased, "but mostly the radiance of her mother," he laughed kissing the babies forhead.

 They watched the baby in silence as she slept, finally getting peace and quiet with no fear in the world.

Simon ached to reach out to Izzy while she sat in stony silence on the edge of their bed in the institute. Clary, Jace and the baby had left earlier in the day to head back to the Herondale Manor and since saying a reluctant goodbye to the infant Iz had been hard to reach even as they held hands in the taxi cab they had taken back home.

Mayrse was happy to take charge of the institute when Izzy and Simon had retired to bed early for the night; Simon had intended to talk to Iz but she wasnt listening.

"Izzy, Iz," He called across the bedroom, "Isabelle Sophia Lightwood- Lewis!" he rolled his eyes then slung off his shirt and threw it at her head.

It flew true and tore her from her reverie, "Could you be any ruder?" She snapped.

He sighed and ran his hand through his mop of hair- it really needed to be cut- then sat on the bed next to her. "I've been trying to talk to you,"

She looked into his eyes "about what?" she tried to fake a smile but let it fall of her face when she saw how concerned he really was.

"You've been too distant, whats gotten into you?"

She considered lying- straight into his dark eyes. What good would that do? "I've been thinking a lot" She stopped and waited to see if that would suffice as an answer. As usual he didnt let it go, "What, thats not enough?" She tried teasing him and poked his nose. He didnt move.

"Dont change the subject, please Izzy"

"Fine, you really want to know?" She stood infront of his face- her mouth only inches away. but how do i even explain it to him? He could have two reactions: happiness and fear. but isnt that what i have? im happy and afraid too!

"Simon Lewis- I think we should t-try having a baby"

(A/N) wait did i just write that? maybe my pens our of ink...

Magnus streached out on the bed infront of the tired shadowhunter- teasing him.

Alec laughed and grabbed Magnus' hand-  trying to drag him over in the bed to no avail. Curse those pesky warlocks and their ability to keep from moving. "If you lay there how will i be able to sleep?" Alec mock-sighed.

"you dont need to sleep, just lay on me," Magnus laughed his deep seductive voice that never failed to make Alec blush. "Alexander- I'm not kidding,"
