The Name
After 300 years from Clary and Jace's time. Simon and Magnus live together since Simon reject been part of any vampire clan.
That way he became the vampire uncle to the lightwood family. He was Clary and Jace's best man, he watch their children grow. He was there when one by one all of his friends die. And for a time he toke distance but finally he went back to them. Magnus by the other hand prefer not to attach himself to finite lives, as he calls them. In fact he didn't go back to the institute since He and Alec broke up.
- you are only hurting yourself - said Bane while Simon was heading to the hospital to receive the newest member of the lightwood family - Clary is no longer there, not Jace, not Isabelle or Alec
- I know - Simon said in a whisper and shut the door behind him.
This was the 5th generation of Lightwoods after his friends; the baby will be Carly's great-great-great grandson/daughter, but still. He kind of think of himself as their family protector, he was always their godfather, every first born birth in Carly's family had been his godchild and this baby will be his 5th, he have to be there for the birth.
He smiles thinking of his old friends, Clary and Jace, and the Angel's blood that made him a daylighter. Isabelle, she finally married a werewolf, it was not a surprise she always love to date downworlders and mundanes. Alec on the other hand, he married late with a Shadowhunter whose parents never agree with their union. Lucky for them Alec's parents support them and fight with them for acceptance in the Clave. Maia and Jordan married after there on and of relation that last about 3 years and then an ugly divorce. They had two children, nasty things but great werewolves in the end. Clary had a younger brother, Gabriel. He was quite the event because never before a Shadowhunter carry the child of a werewolf, Luke was really concern that he contract lycanthropy but he born a healthy baby and get bitten by a rogue werewolf later. He was proud of it, Gabriel, Luke almost kill him.
Their children make their way, and their children's children, and he will be always there.
He takes a cab to the hospital but the traffic was a nightmare so he decides to walk, in his vampire pace he will get there in no time.
He arrives to the bedroom, Clarisse, Clary's great-great granddaughter was lying in the bed, her husband, a mundane had a call from work so he was outside.
- Simon you made it - she said with a smile
- I always do - He said looking how different from His Clary she looks.
She had blonde-silver hair and almond eyes. Her arms full of silver scars from her endless battles against demons.
- Sam its outside, he had a work thing
- I saw him, in my way in. So... - he was looking at her belly - how long will be waiting?
- An hour maybe more, said the doctor. Joan and Marysse are on their way and my mom will be here soon.
- Good - he said grimly. Clarisse's mother never like him. She was a Shadowhunter from an old traditional Shadowhunter family. Downworlders where no good company for her.
- don't worry; my dad is coming too - her parents where separate. For her mother the loving downworlders life of the Lightwood-Fairchild was too much - I just hope they don't start fighting specially about Sam.
- Your mother still don't accept him
- She said she will, eventually I think
- She said the same about me
- I know but... she is my mother - her big almond eyes where fixed on him. He smile
- Well it's no turn around; I have to be here for my godchild
- GODCHILD! - Matilda, Clarisse's mother said entering the room
- Of course Simon will be the godfather, it's a tradition. And Hello Mother
- It's a foolish tradition. A downworlder can be the godfather of a Shadowhunter
- Says who - Jace, Clarisse father was on the door - I thought you where all about respecting traditions
- Shadowhunter tradition Jace
- This IS a Shadowhunter tradition
- Not an old one
- It has 300 years; it's not old enough for you?
- Dad, Mom please... - Clarisse plead
- Sorry dear - said Matilda - you are right. Now it's not the time.
- Sorry kiddo - said Jace - so how long we have to wait?
Simon could feel the tension so he excused himself and left the bedroom. Maybe when Joan and Marysse arrive things will come down.
He walks aimlessly through the hospital. In his early days as a vampire he wouldn't resist the smell of blood without urge for it, now he was the master of his impulses. He stood at the gift shop thinking what to buy. His eyes rest unknowingly on a paper. 7th victim of the pregnant killer found, said the title. He sigh, mundane news don't interest him anymore. But for some reason he kept reading. The seventh victim of the pregnant killer was found by the riverside. Melissa Colen (30) was 7 months pregnant, her body was found all desfigurated, the police assumes the killer perform a caesarean section to take out the baby. The baby was nowhere to be found. There's no way to now if the baby still alive.
He stops reading. A cold chill run through his spine, he imagines Clarisse's face on the dead woman and discard the paper.
- Any good news - said a voice behind him. He recognize immediately
- Nothing interesting Joan
- Uncle Simon you haven't change at all
- Joan you have change a lot
Joan was the youngest of Jace and Matilda's children. He was a young man of 24. Dark hair and the same almond eyes of his sister
- How is Clare
- She's with your parents
- So, no good at all
- I hope Sam already is in there
- And you?
- You know how much your mother love me - the young man smile - not that I wanted to leave but I think it was better for Clarisse health
- Yeah, let's wait until moms favorite arrive so we'll be in no danger
Marysse arrive 10 minutes later. She, like her brother had dark hair and almond eyes. She was cheerful and a little dreamy. But she was the deadliest of the three children.
- What are you two doing here? Simon you where supposedly be at Clare side
- Her husband and your mother are there
- Oh... I didn't think mother will come - she said grimly
- Is her first grandchild of course she would come.
- Yes, but the last time...
- Forget about - said Joan with a smile - you know how they both are
The three of them went to the room. Sam, Clarisse husband, was passing impatiently in the room while Matilda was sitting in the only chair in the room. Jace was at Clarisse side holding her hand while she had a contraction. Then the doctors came and throw everyone from the room except Sam.
3 hours later Sam came out with a baby in his arms.
- Here it is - he said with a smile - the newest member of our family
Everyone stands up and went to see him, but Sam ignore everyone and walk straight to Simon.
- Clare said that his godfather had to carry him first - he gives the baby to Simon - His name is Valentine - Everyone's eyes wide looking at Sam
- No it's not - Said Matilda in a squeak - you can't...
- Why that name - Ask Jace calm
- Clare choose it, she said her grandmother tell her to give that name to her first born in a dream or something like that
- Clary... - whisper Simon
- That's insane - squeak again Matilda - She hated that man - she turn to Simon - You are her godfather, said something, you knew that man.
- Matilda stop - Jace eyes where severe - If Clare want to call her child Valentine we will accept it
- What's wrong with that name? - Sam was confuse
- He was a bad man - said Joan palming Sam's back - no Shadowhunter was name after him for 300 years
- I think it's a beautiful name - Marysse said smiling and looking to the baby - Hello Valentine, welcome to the world
- He will be cast of - said Matilda - He is Valentine's blood after all
- We will never cast him off, and we will not let anyone do it - Jace eyes where fierce
- He will be wonderful - said Simon finally - just like his parents
Simon slams the door behind him and enters the slightly lighted room. Two cat eyes where fixed on him.
- Hello Magnus - said Simon a little tire to have this conversation with Bane
- I heard the name of the baby
- Oh, Valentine. Yes it got us all by surprise, but Jace and the kids take it well
- You know how much power is carried in the name
- He is just a baby, with great parents, he will not become evil
- I don't think he will be evil - said Bane looking at the window - Valentine wasn't evil
- Seriously, are we talking of the same Valentine? The one who mix his son's blood with demon blood? The one who kill the silent brothers, and wave war to Shadowhunter and downworlders
- Yes, exactly that one
- I don't think our concept of evil is the same
- Valentine, in my eyes, was the mean for a change.
- Luke was the one who performer the change, Luke and Clary
- yes, they did their part, but if it wasn't for Valentine none of that would ever happened - Simon was about to said something but change his mind - I think this kid will bring even more change
- I hope not the same way of his name sake
- Who knows... maybe he will be worse, maybe better.
- I really hate this new riddle talking you have
- After 100 years I thought you had just to it
- Nope - he said entering his room - but it's getting old
