Jace and Clary knew that raising a child wasn't going to be easy yet they cherish every moment. What they fear the most is losing Kylee to her destiny. The way things seem to be unraveling around them that just might happen, but not if they have anything to say about it. Part 3 of "Haven".
New Dawn Rising
Prologue_ Bad to Good
Jace walked into the Institute with Alec after a long day of hunting. He removed his jacket and popped his back. He sighed with relief. Alec chuckled as he removed his quiver.
"What?" Jace asked him as he chuckled again.
"Someone's getting too old for this," Alec grinned.
"You wish," Jace smirked. Alec smiled at him. "And what do you mean me?" Jace wondered. "I'm not the one with crow's feet," He grinned. Jace laughed when Alec frowned.
"Hey," Clary walked up holding a three-year-old Kylee. Kylee's thick and wavy light blonde hair was down to her shoulders. Her skin was pale. Her eyes were three different shades of gold with a starburst at the center around the pupil.
"Hey," Jace smiled then hugged and kissed Clary. He kissed Kylee on her forehead.
"How did it go?" Clary wondered.
"Miserable," Alec and Jace both answered as Jace took Kylee and held her.
"Really? Well, maybe this will make it better," Clary said then stood beside Jace and looked at Kylee with a smile, "Hey Kylee. Who's gotcha?" Kylee looked at her and Clary repeated the question, "Who's gotcha?"
Kylee looked at Clary for a second longer then at Jace when Jace looked at her. "Daddy," She answered Clary.
A huge smile broke out across the Shadowhunters' faces. But neither Alec's nor Clary's smile was near as big as Jace's.
"That's right," Clary praised, "That's Daddy. Do you love Daddy?" Kylee hugged Jace around his neck with her little arms. "Awww," Clary said.
Alec smiled. He had never seen Jace so happy as he was with Clary and Kylee.
Jace hugged Kylee to him with the big smile still on his face, "Daddy, loves you too, baby girl."
That diffidently made Jace's day ten times better. Up until now the child simply refused to talk. Kylee just said her first word.
