Jace was finally and permanently mine with no major obstacles in our way. Well, at least not including my parents because now that Valentine, my father, was dead, and my mother, Jocelyn had married Luke. Almost everything was perfect I had Jace, my mom had Luke, Alec had Magnus, and Simon had Maia and Isabelle (he was yet to choose one over the other).

My parents had decided upon returning to New York and lucky for me, I still had to go to public school. Simon didn't so that didn't make anything any better. Jace, Isabelle, and Alec were all home schooled, well at least when Hodge was still at the Institute. Now, who knew what Maryse and Robert Lightwood had in plan for their education?

"Clary, hurry up its time to go, you can't make Magnus wait here all day." Jocelyn was starting to get impatient.

"I'm coming just give me a second!" I shouted back before turning back to face Jace.

Jace held me in his tight embrace for a moment longer before kissing me. "I'll see you soon," he said before heading back to the Penhallow's house.

Clary then went on to the portal and away they went back to New York.

"I am so glad to be home, but what are we going to tell Simon's mom?" I asked.

"I believe that Magnus has already taken care of that for Simon and us," Luke replied.

"Luke, what should we do about school I mean Simon's a vampire and I'm well a shadowhunter. It's not like people are going to wonder why Simon isn't eating anything." She sighed, "What about the Lightwood's are they going to continue to be home schooled. Hodge was the one who took care of that and now he is dead." I suddenly stopped her abrupt outburst.

Jocelyn immediately went to my side. "Come on sweet heart let's go for a walk." She turned and started walking, reluctantly I followed.

I began wondering why my mother had wanted to take a walk with me out of the blue. Was it something to do with her new boyfriend? Or my father who was now dead killed by the angel Raziel himself? Whatever it happened to be I wanted no part of it what so ever.

"What's wrong Clary? You haven't said much, other than nonsense about school." Jocelyn said calmly although she was worried about her daughter, me.

"It's that I miss the Lightwoods, and what are my school friends going to think about my new friends. I scared about school in general well I I just don't know and I'm ranting again." Clary sat by the water fountain.

"Clary I know you're scared but there's something that might comfort you that I haven't told you yet. Maryse and Robert have decided to send Jace, Isabelle and Alec to public school. They just figured that they probably couldn't handle being home schooled after………well you know." Jocelyn sat beside her a put an arm around her to try and comfort her some. Clary looked up and the relief on her face was unbelievable. "Maryse and I agreed that you should be the first to know. None of the other kids know yet. We also agree that they would start a little late so that you had the chance to see some of your other friends first."
