ALEC POV

Clary rushed out the room, I dont know if its something I said or something I did, all I know is that she looked really upset. I wanted to go after her, but Jace held me back and quickly congratulated us about Maxine and left running after Clary. I wonder what made her upset?

Jace and Clary havent come back to the  library for about two hours now and Im starting to get worried.Is she okay? Magnus and I are still in the library with Mayrse and Maxine is sitting on Magnus's lap. Isabelle and Simon left shortly after Jace went to see what was wrong with Clary. They say that they were going to practice Simon's fighting skills, but i have a feeling that they are practicing something else. Its like that time that I walked into my own room and found Simon on top of my sister doing unspeakable things, and lets not even begin talking about that time in the cave. It seems like i was the only one keeping to myself. Like we were all in a life or death situation and trying to stay alive, and apparently in a life or death situation, it is important to be involved in sexual matters. Like Izzy almost died and 5 minutes after that Simon was 'comforting' her. Seeing Jace and Clary finally together, actually made me feel happy, which genuienly suprised me.I hope they are as happy together as I am happy for them. My feelings for Jace have completly vanished and I feel more for Magnus than I ever felt for Jace.

 We only adopted Max about two weeks ago but Magnus and her have a really special bond already, it already seems like Im going to be the strict parent and Magnus is going to be the fun outgoing parent, that takes Max to carnivals and buys her eyeliner when shes only 6 years old. Believe me I wasnt againest getting a warlock child, I actually thought it was apretty good idea. Magnus was so happy when we got Max and he saw that her warlock mark was a cats tail, because his warlock mark is his gold cats eyes. Matching father and daughter. Magnus and I have been good lately, he still wont tell me about his past life, he claims that it sin the past and that Im his present and his future, but there will alwys be this small part in heart that knows that Magus and Maxine will both out live me and Magnus will have to move on to someone else. My thoughts are interupted when Jace walks into the room, with puffy red eyes and messy hai.r. He stops at the doorway and leans againest the frame.

"Alec can we talk...please," Jace says looking me straight in the eye. Oh my god, what has happened, i think to myself. I nod towards Jace and stand up. Magnus gives me a worried look and i quickly plant a kiss on his lips and wave to Maxine. Jace waits by the doorway and grips my arm when I am next to him and pulls me infor a hug, but this is not one of his rare brotherly hugs, its a hug thats so tight I know hes not okay.

"Jace, whats wrong?" I say when he finally lets go

...

He doesnt reply just starts walking to the Institute door and I just follow, he'll talk when he's ready to. We walk out the institute and towards Taki's. The walk there is long and silent, but I can feel Jace is tense next to me. When we get to Taki's we sit down and Jace sighs and begins to speak.

"Alec, what made you decide to get Maxine?" Jace finally looks at me since we left the institute.

"Ummmm," I say, "After Magnus and I got married, we decided that our relationship was strong enoughto start a family," I begin but Im interupted when Jace starts crying.

"But," Jace stutters, " But what if me and Clary cant handle that?"

"Then wait Jace, you guys are still young," I say feeling like a father figure.

Jace put his head on the table and clenches his fists. After a while he sits and up again and breathes deeply.

"Thats the problem Alec," Jace says, "I thought we were safe, but now..."

Oh shit, does he mean....

"Jace," I say staring at him, " What have you guys gotten yourselves into!"

"I dont know Alec, I dont know!" he says and throws his fist againest the table and covers his face with his hands and begins to cry again.

I sigh and get up from my side of the booth and move next to him and I put an arm around his shoulder. 

I begin to speak, "We'll figure it out Jace, I'm not going anywhere."
