It took exactly twenty minutes for Clary and Isabelle to get Jessica ready. When they were done she looked like something out of the late 1800's. 
"Seriously, guys!" Jessica exclaimed with a laugh. "There's more dress then there is me.".

Isabelle finished tying back her own hair. "I didn't think my brother could buy pretty clothes.".
"Don't you girls look pretty as ever." Jace said from the door. 
He was dressed like a gentleman from really old romance movies. 
"Thank you." They said in unison.
"Shall we go, Ladies?" He asked taking Clary's arm.
"We shall." Jessica smiled looping her arm through Isabelle's.

Parties in Idris weren't really Jessica's scene, but oh well. Jace and Clary split the minute they got there, and a couple minutes ago Isabelle left to dance with Simon so she stood alone. Jessica jumped as someone tapped her shoulder.
She spun around quickly. " Yes?" She asked looking up.
She was met with an all to familiar pair of blue eyes. She quickly turned away and counted to three before turning back. He was still there. Her mind immediately went back to Peter and her's conversation.

"What  about Carmen?" She demanded.
Peter sighed. "I'm sorry, Jess, I know you loved her, I mean we all did." He looked down. 
"Is she okay, Peter?"
"She's fine." He said. "The thing is her parents aren't dead. He dad had to leave for awhile after the Dark War and her mother just couldn't take care of her so she said to send her to us, For some reason, until she could take her back." He paused. "Her father was called back to Idris from England two days ago and was shocked to find his wife gone and his child in foster care." 
"So....." Jessica asked.
"Her mother's still MIA but her father has the right to get her back, and he is." Peter stated.
It couldn't be true! He couldn't be back!
"Jessica, are you okay?" He asked. 
"I'm fine, why?"
"You paled when I said her father."
She shook her head. "I'm fine.". She then asked "How?" 
"I found out before I left yesterday." He replied. "He'll pick her up and the ball tonight."

"You're really here?" Jessica asked slowly. 
He nodded. "I'm here, Jessica.".
She jumped into his arms and rested her head on his shoulder. "I thought I'd never see you again." She exclaimed.
"I'm here, Love, for good. I promise."

"Don't make promises you can't keep, Rory." She mumbled.
He pulled away, and held her at arms length so he could see her. "Don't you look beautiful as always.".
He wiped a tear from her cheek. "Don't cry, Jesse.".
She laughed. "You were dead and now you're here. I think I can cry."
"How about we go get our daughter from the Olsen's, before she becomes a goody goody, how's that sound?" He asked with a smirk. 
"Gosh I've missed you." She smiled. "And yes let's do.

So Rory's not dead, but don't think that's the end of this story cause there's much more left.
