DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE INFERNAL DEVICES

Tessa waited impatiently for the train to come around the corner. She twiddled her thumbs, played with her hair and smoothened her dress to calm her down. Any minute now, the train would come along and drop off Will. She closed her eyes and exhaled. It had been four months since he left her. She smiled as she remembered the day when she confessed to Will about her true feelings, and he returned it warmly. Explaining everything to Jem was hard, as promised, Will wrote the letter and Tessa tried to fill any gaps as possible. She apologized to him every day, feeling sorry that she broke his heart. Jem succumbed to the reality of it and opened up, they were friends now.

She wondered if Will would actually show up, not that she doubted him of course, it was written all over his last letter. The wind picked up as she caught the sight of a moving train coming around. It gradually slowed down as its doors opened, out came dozens and dozens of people, greeting their friends or relatives with warm smiles and hugs. She glanced over and ran her eyes over the crowd, trying to find Will. Then, she spotted him.

"Will!"

When he stepped out of the train with his luggage, Tessa picked up her skirts and ran to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck as Will caught her in surprise and fell down. They both laughed.

"Nice to see you too." Will chuckled, still on the ground with Tessa ontop of him.

From that day on, Will stayed with Tessa in the institute, got her training finished before she could head out with Will when she reached the age of eighteen. They decided to go to Will's homeland, Wales and go on from there. They haven't settled in a house yet, they even didn't stay in one place! They kept on traveling and traveling. The folks back at the institute kept track of them through letters, still waiting for the day when they would receive a wedding invitation.

.o0o.

"You don't suppose it's going to rain again, do you Jem?" Cecily asked, looking at the gray sky. Her light blue dress was drenched with the last rainfall and hour ago, and her jet black hair was mindlessly tossed to the side to prevent her back corset from wetting. She thought of the parasol that she left at the institute and cursed herself for leaving it behind. Cecily was at the park with Jem, looking over River Thames, where ducks swam about.

"It's London, it always rains." He responded. "But I swear, if it does. We are going straight home. I don't want you catching a cold."

Cecily turned her attention away from the view and smiled at Jem. She rested her hand on his. "I didn't say that I wanted to go back to the institute. Where's the fun in that?" Ironically, she sneezed after that last statement.

"That's it, we are going back to the institute." Before he could lead Cecily away, she quickly kissed him on the cheek. Jem stopped and blinked, blushing bashfully as he turned away.

"Nice try." He smiled as he continued to lead a scowling Cecily to the institute.

Eventually, Jem began to recover from his heartbreak. Cecily came in and made him feel better. Tessa's clockwork angel cured him and it inspired him to try to find cures for other demonic poisons. His hair color turned back to normal, but for some reason his silver eyes stayed the same. In time, he fell in love with Cecily, and so did Cecily.

.o0o.

Sophie packed her clothes carefully into her luggage. She had never felt so guilty about leaving the institute. It was her home, a place where she cried her heart out, where she shared moments of happiness, where she felt loved and accepted. She sighed as she placed her last white linen cloth dress in her luggage before closing it up. She touched her bulging belly, a slight kick from the unborn baby had her feeling a bit dizzy.

"You should not be packing dear Sophie." Her husband said as he came forward, closed the bag for her as he tucked a stand of loose hair behind her ear. "Did I not tell you this before?"

"Nonsense." Sophie dismissed. "I finished packing by myself, see?"

Gideon broke out of his serious face and smiled. He kissed her forehead as he took her hand. "Let's just go."

Sophie and Gideon went to live together on the outskirts of London. Sophie finally agreed to drink from the mortal cup so she could be with Gideon. She apologized over and over to Charlotte and Henry about her sudden leave to Spain with her husband for his demon hunting mission. She had her baby two months after they were married, and they were eager to start a new life and a family together.

.o0o.

"why is the cwopper thing tiny? What does dwis thing do?"

"That's called a screw." Henry told his three year old son. "It holds things together."

"So it's like glwue?" The little boy said in amazement, his giant eyes sparkling. "Wow!"

Charlotte contently smiled at the two boys. Henry was teaching his son about gears and other parts, and their son seemed pretty interested. When they had their baby, they settled for Buford to be the middle name to satisfy her persistent husband. The institute seemed remotely empty since Will and Tessa were gone. They had new untrained shadowhunters taking refuge here, it would be an entire new family.

Everyone; Will, Tessa, Jem, Cecily, Sophie, Gideon, Gabriel, Charlotte and Henry were all waiting for the day when they would reunite once again, and tell each other the fascinating stories that they experienced in their lives that will draw them even closer as a family together.
