Hey guys! I'm back with a new chapter! My goal is for this to be a bit fluffy and cute between Jace and Clary. They need some moments:) and I think you'll agree. Now on to the romance…

JACE POV

A nurse settled me into a room and set up the chemo drip. My mother sat beside me with a book in hand and soon my phone buzzed.

C: Hey, you in yet?

J: Just got set up. You here?

C: I can be up in five.

"Mom," I looked over and hoped to get this over with before I had to puke.

She turned up from her book, "Yes?"

I coughed once, left over from being sick, "Um, Clary's coming up here, and we're…um…" I felt at a loss for words, but my mother smiled.

"You're going to have a date in here," she supplied and I nodded sheepishly, she closed her book and stood up, "well, I have some grocery shopping to do so I'll be back right around when you're finished." She kissed my forehead and left. I turned the television on some movie, I think it was The Time Travelers Wife, and settled back onto the pillows.

Clary came in a few minutes later and I smiled at her. "Hey stranger," she whispered and then straightened her green beanie that covered her head.

"Hey," I said back softly and then scooted over on the bed so she could sit with me instead of sitting on one of those uncomfortable chairs. Clary maneuvered herself around the wires and settled into my side.

"Feel any better?" She asked as I wrapped an arm around her waist.

I nodded slightly, "A little, I took some medicine for it and I'm a lot better than yesterday." She nodded into my chest. I turned so that I was situated towards her and could look into her eyes. "I have a question for you." Her eyes lit up in interest.

"What's up?"

I took a deep breath, "So, I've known you about a month now and realized that you-you don't judge me, you don't care when I'm sick, and you're…here."

She gave me an odd look, "Of course I'm here."

I laughed softly and realized I probably had only a small window left until I got sick, "Clary, what I'm trying to say, and of course failing miserably, is…will you…be my…girlfriend?"

At first her face was blank and my face fell along with all my hope, but then her face broke into the most beautiful and wonderful smile. "Yes," she said and then I kissed her quick on the lips. Directly after that was the moment that what I known all along would happen, happened. Clary must've caught the look on my face because she had a wastepaper basket under my mouth before I even had a chance to bend over.

I puked once and then lay back onto the bed after rinsing my mouth out. Clary took care of the bucket and then threaded her fingers through mine. "Maybe we should hold off on the excitement," a small smile played at her lips.

"Just for a little while," I whispered and leaned my head on top of hers. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small container and brought a piece of gum out and handed it to me. I put it in my mouth and squeezed her hand in thanks. Sighing, I ran a hand through my hair and stopped once I felt it. Clary turned her head to me in question, but understanding and compassion filled her eyes after a moment. "I'm going to look like a freak," I whispered and immediately regretted it when I saw a small look of hurt flash through her eyes. "I'm sorry," I tried to take it back, "I didn't mean it like that."

She smiled sadly and I felt even worse, "I know you didn't." She scanned my face for a moment, "You can always do what I did and save yourself the hurt."

"What'd you do?"

"Shaved it off. A bald girl looks better than a half-bald girl in my opinion," she shrugged, "you can if you want, I can help, but it's totally up to you."

I had to think for only a minute on the issues, "Let's do it." Clary scanned my face and then nodded.

"Okay, when you're done with chemo I'll see what I can do," she settled back into my side and I drifted off to sleep the beat of her heart, it was the same thing that always put me to sleep.

CLARY POV

He fell asleep on my shoulder and I turned the television off and then settled down and closed my eyes.

I woke up to Jace trailing his fingers over my lips and cheek. Slowly, I opened my eyes and focused on him and a yawn escaped my mouth causing him to chuckle. "Sorry," I smiled, "I didn't mean to fall asleep."

He waved off my apology, "Doesn't matter. You ready? They just unhook me."

I nodded and pulled myself from his warm arms, Jace was a little shakier and I went over and threaded our fingers together; providing support, but still being discrete about it. He told me that he needed to talk to his mom for a moment, but asked if I could pull my car up for him. I complied and he met me outside a few minutes later.

I managed to pull my phone out and ask my mother if I could bring Jace home. She told me I could. We drove to my house and I pulled into the garage and cut the engine.

Jace looked to me and I could tell he was nervous about something, "Is your mom home?"

Ah, that would explain it. I nodded, "Yea, but she's in her office doing who knows what."

He seemed to relax a bit and followed me into the house. I took a deep breath as I saw my mother in the living room waiting for us, she looked to me expectantly. Sighing, I walked over to her with Jace on my heels. "Jace, this is my mother Jocelyn Fairchild. Mom, this is Jace Herondale," I did the quick introducing thing.

Jace extended his hand, "It's nice to meet your Mrs. Fairchild."

She completely ignored his offered hand and turned to me, "Clarissa, I expect him to be gone by five." Then she turned on her heels and left to her office.

Rolling my eyes, I led Jace upstairs.

"You sure you want to do this?" I asked him. We were in my bathroom and he was sitting on a stool.

He nodded and shut his eyes, "Do it." His tone was finale. I shrugged and turned the shaver-thing on.

I shaved off what little hair was actually left on his head and then turned the device off. "Open," I said and he complied.

Standing up to get a better look, he ran his hand over his newly bald head. I left to grab something and let him have a moment.

When I decided that it was okay to come back, I handed him a black hat. "You're going to want to wear that. If you're not careful, your head can burn really easily for a while." Jace nodded and put the hat on and then turned to me. I put my hands on the sides of his face and pulled him towards me. Our lips met and I felt the sensation that I now craved. It was a hunger inside of me that I had never felt before. When I pulled away he frowned and I laughed. "Come on," I said and pulled him into my room. I had a black comforter with black pillows and my walls were white. He looked like he was going to pass out soon so I made him lay down on the bed. Jace frowned again when I didn't lay down with him.

I laughed a bit, "Your parents might not care, but if my mother walked in here with me sleeping with you she'd kill me."

His frown deepened and I rolled my eyes and instead sat down beside him on the bed. Our fingers automatically intertwined and with my other hand I felt his forehead. He was a little warm, but not too bad.

Jace rolled his eyes, "I'm fine, Clary, quit worrying."

I huffed, "I'm going to worry and you saying to not worry is not going to help."

"Fine," he said exasperated and then closed his eyes when I started to trail my fingers down his arm.

He fell asleep and I gentle removed myself from the bed and sat in a chair next to him.

I dropped him off at his hotel when he woke up about an hour later. My mother gave her evil eye on the way out and I knew we would probably fight later. Jace, being Jace of course, tried to get me to come up. I lightly smacked him on the shoulder and pushed him out of the car. I valued moments like these lately, I knew happiness never lasted.

Wow guys, I apologize so deeply for how long it has taken me to finished this chapter and how it isn't very long. I promise to have something new up as soon as I can, but I'm just running into a bit of writers block lately. I know some things that have to happen, but they're all bunched in my head. Well, now for some shoutouts!:)

Maddyrose99: Thank you! I felt like we all needed to see that side of Jace and that's where this comes from. I'm actually not sure how it's going to end yet, so stay tuned:)

MIgirl923: I know right! I needed some badass Alec to keep it going

It's-twilliam-bitch: I know, it's all really sad that it actually happens and that's why I had to put it in here though I really did hate writing that because it made me so sad:( Agreeing on the Alec thing and on another note: I hoped to get that reaction to them:)
