Just a really short something that came to me when I was thinking about Clockwork Prince.
I know it's unrealistic, but I need some happiness for Will and Tessa.
Cassandra Clare owns all the characters.
~Peace at last ~
After a long day filled with Shadowhunter business, teasing Gideon Lightwood because of his delight over Sophie's pregnancy and a quiet walk along the Thames with his parabatai who had been full of life and optimism for the future, Will Herondale just wants to get back to his little family. The sun is setting in the west and its orange rays burn like amber over the houses in the narrow street where Will had finally found peace.
He enters his house and takes two steps at a time until he is standing in Stephen's nursery. Will gazes lovingly at the tiny infant, his precious son, and strokes his index finger over the baby's chubby cheek. Stephen's eyes open and grey eyes stare at Will. Like always he is nearly overwhelmed with emotion when he looks at his baby. His baby ... and Tessa's. Stephen's mouth opens and closes again; he starts making little smacking noises with his lips. "He is hungry." Tessa slips her arms around Will's lean torso and rests her cheek against his shoulder. Will's left hand comes to rest over hers and his fingers absently run over her wedding band. "Of course he is, he wants to become a big and strong Shadowhunter one day, just like his father and godfather."
Tessa chuckles against his back and a pleasant shiver runs over him. "I think right now he only cares for getting fed." Stephen's face frowns and he whimpers quietly. Tessa quickly steps forward and scoops him into his arms. "My little cherub." She kisses his head and moves over to the rocking chair. Will smiles at his family, his heart doing little summersaults. He kisses Tessa gently and runs a hand over his son's head who makes content noises while nursing. "Jem and Cecily invited me over to talk about their wedding, I won't be gone long. " Tessa, soothingly rubbing Stephen's back, nods and smiles brightly at him. "Cecy will look beautiful in gold." Will only shakes his head. "Not as beautiful as you did, angel."
