Hey guys, I decided to do a story of one-shots about all the characters from TMI and their future together.
This takes place after City Of Heavenly Fire. It focuses on the main couples, which are: Clary and Jace, Simon and Isabelle, Magnus and Alec, Jocelyn and Luke and Tessa and Jem.
It will start off with Clary and Jace, and then go to Isabelle and Simon and so on until every couple is done. This is going to be a short enough story. Anyway I hope you enjoy.
City of families.
(Sorry for the bad name...)
Disclaimer: I don't own TMI or TID, all rights go to Cassandra Clare.
Chapter 1.
*THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V.*
Twenty two year old Clary Herondale is awoken to a loud clatter coming from the kitchen. Her eyes flutter open and she sees she is alone in the big double bed she shares with her husband Jace.
Clary is 9 months pregnant with her and Jace's first child. They do not know the sex; they wanted to keep it a surprise. They have names chosen, despite not knowing the sex. For a boy, Max Lucian Herondale. For a girl, Esther Celine Herondale.
Jace chose the name Esther, which means 'Star' in Persian. Clary chose Max, after Jace's brother. He was unsure at first; of weather he wanted to name his son after his little brother, but he soon warmed up to the idea and now would have no other name for his son.
Clary gets out of bed and makes her way downstairs to the kitchen. When she gets in she sees Jace at the stove, making some breakfast, with Alec beside him.
"Jace, what was that loud crash?"Clary asks. Jace turns around to see her and grins at her.
"Someone- Izzy- stacked all the pans wrong, so when Alec opened the cupboard door all the pans fell out." He says.
"Are you alright Alec?" Clary asks.
"I have a few bruises but I'll live." He says. Clary laughs.
"What are you making?" Clary asks Jace.
"Oatmeal." He says, disappointing Clary, who is craving pancakes. She pouts at him, trying to get him to make her pancakes.
"Sorry Clare, no pancakes for you." He says.
"Why not? I'm 2 weeks overdue with your baby; I should be allowed anything I'm craving." She says.
"You can't have pancakes because you've had them for breakfast for the past week; you need something healthy for breakfast for a change."He says.
Before Clary can argue farther, she feels a sharp pain rip through her abdomen. She cries out in pain and doubles over, one hand clutching the counter, the other clutching her bump.
"Clary! Are you okay?" Alec asks, placing his hand on her back. She moans in pain as it gets stronger.
"Oh by the angel it hurts!"She says. Just then she feels a gush of water from between her legs.
"Whoa, Clary did you just pee yourself?" Alec asks, as he sees the clear liquid dripping down her leg.
"No, my waters broke." She says.
"Okay, okay, Clary we have to get you up to the infirmary. Alec, get Magnus and Jem." Jace says, helping his wife straighten up. Magnus is going to deliver the baby and Jem will be there to help in case anything goes wrong.
*10 minutes later*
"Agh! Why the hell did I decide on a natural birth?!" Clary shouts, as another contraction rips through her body.
"Because you kill demons for a living, you can certainly give birth naturally."Jace says.
"I'd like to see you try!" She growls.
"We all would darling." Magnus says. Jem chuckles as he gently dabs a wet cloth across Clary's forehead.
"That would be a sight to see." He agrees.
"By the angel, when can I push?" Clary asks, relaxing back into the pillows as the contraction passes.
"Not for a long time I'm afraid, you're only 2cm dilated." Magnus says. Clary groans and grips Jace's hand tighter as another contraction hits her.
*7 hours later*
It's been two hours since Clary started pushing. Her hair is drenched with sweat, sticking to her face.
"Holy crap I hate you Jace." She weakly says.
"I know Clary; you're doing a great job, almost there." He sooths her, gently brushing her hair back from her face.
"Alright Clary I can see the head, you're almost there." Magnus tells her. Clary grips Jace's hand and bears down, pushing with all her strength. Tears stream down her pale, freckled face as she does her best to push with all her strength.
"That's it Clary, you're doing great. One more and the head will be out, after that just a few more pushes and you'll be done. Okay?" Magnus says. Clary nods and continues to push with all her strength.
"There you go Clary the heads out. Just two more big pushes, alright?"Magnus says.
"Okay." Clary weakly says. She pushes again, with her strength and might, until she feels the shoulders slip out.
"Great! That was brilliant Clary. One last push." Magnus says. Clary bears down one last time and pushes until she feels a huge weight lift off her. She sighs in relief and relaxes back into the pillows.
"By the angel I did it." She whispers.
"Yes you did, and I'm so very proud of you." Jace whispers. Just then a low wail fills the air, their baby crying.
"It's a boy!" Magnus announces. Clary lets out an exhausted laugh.
"A boy, we have our baby boy." Jace whispers to Clary.
"Jace, do you want to cut the umbilical cord?" Magnus asks. Jace smiles broadly and nods. He goes to the bottom of the bed and takes the scissors from Magnus. He concentrates on steadying his hand while he carefully cuts the umbilical cord.
Magnus wraps Max in a number of blankets and hands him to Jace.
"Congratulations you two, he's gorgeous." He says. Jace smiles broadly.
"Thanks." He says, not taking his eyes off his newborn son. Jace walks up to Clary and sits beside her, placing their son in her arms.
"Wow." Clary whispers as she looks down at her son, unable to believe she made something so beautiful and perfect.
"He's amazing." Jace whispers, gently stroking his sons golden curls, identical to his. The little boy has Jace's hair, Clary's mouth and nose, Jace's bone struckter and pallor with Clary's eye shape. His eyes are still shut tight. Though moments later they flutter open to reveal big emerald green eyes identical to his mother's, elating his parents. Especially Jace who had hoped for their son to have Clary's eyes.
"Max." Clary whispers, with tears of joy rolling down her face. "My perfect little boy, you're here. You're finally here." She continues, gently stroking his curls with her thumb.
"Max Lucian Herondale. Perfect."Jace whispers. Clary nods. "Hi there Max, I'm your daddy. I'm going to take good care of you and your mommy, I promise. And I'll always support you and love you no matter what. I love you so much; you're my whole world now."He whispers, gently rubbing Max's hand with his thumb.
"I love you Jace." Clary says.
"I love you too Clary." Jace says, leaning in and kissing her. He smiles as he looks at his wife and his son in her arms. He couldn't be happier; he has a family of his own.
There's chapter 1, I hope you enjoyed Please review.
