So, for anyone who clicked on this story, thank you and hi!

I´ll try to upload at least weekly if not more often, but I´m a student so no big promises.

This fanfic is something that I actually dreamed about and just wrote it down i guess :)

It´s also my first one so don´t be mad, okay.

I hope you´ll enjoy it.

And if you already couldn´t guess then Cassandra Clare owns it all exept a character or two.

CHAPTER 1

The Beginning

Jace´s POV

„Daddy?" My heart started to beat faster as my little angel ran into the room.

„Yeah, princess?"

„Can we go to the zoo on my birthday, please?" She batted her eyes at me and my heart melted.

„Uhm...yeah sure, but you still have to go to kindergarten, okay?"

„You´re the best daddy ever!" She kissed my cheek and ran away. What am I gonna do now!

The thing is, I would love to give my girl everything she wants... except the last five years haven´t been the easiest on the financial rate. Who am I kidding, I don´t think I even have a financial rate. After I pay the kindergarten, rent and the other bills I barely have enough for food. I can only buy us new clothes and her a new toy when I get a bonus at work but usually it´s not much. I feel so bad about the fact that I can´t give my little girl everything a five-year old deserves but I try to do my best.

After my girlfriend got pregnant we we´re both so happy, even when our parents told us to get out of their lives and never show our faces again because we´re a disgrace to their families just because 19 is too young to have a kid. So we got our own little apartment, I got a job and everything was going great until the day her water broke. I immediately knew something was wrong, she screamed and the doctors couldn`t to much about the excruciating pain . She didn´t even live long enough to see our beautiful daughter.

And now I´m stuck with a job that doesn´t pay well and I can´t even take my baby girl to the zoo for her birthday. But honestly I´ve got no regrets because if I would´ve chose differently I wouldn´t have my princess right now.

I was just about to go tell Emmi to go to sleep when I heard my phone ringing.

„Jace Herondale, who is it?"

„Hi Jace it`s Luke, so I´ve got some bad news."

„Just what I needed right now, what is it?" He was quiet for a while before he started to speak.

"I´m sorry Jace but I´m closing the shop and moving to London… you´re fired."

"No, Luke please I´m begging you if I don´t pay my rent this month I´m gonna get thrown out." Why now!

"I´m sorry but maybe you can find a new job or something."

"Yeah, sure, whatever."

"Bye."

"Bye Luke, thanks a lot." I know I shouldn´t be mad at him but right now I was mad at everyone and everything.

I went to Emmi`s room and saw her laying on her bed and trying to read a book. Just like me. I thought. We´ve both always been bookworms.

"Okay princess, time for bed. Do you want me to read you a story?"

"Yay a story!" She jumped under the covers, smiling.

"Daddy can I ask you something?" She asked as I started to read the story.

"Is something bothering you, princess?"

"Where`s my mommy?" I felt my heart skip a beat.

"She`s in a better place, looking after you."

"Why did she leave? Didn´t she like me?"

"Baby girl, she loved you very much and she... she didn´t choose to go, she just had to."

"It just makes me sad, that`s all."

"I know princess, me too. Goodnight."

"Goodnight daddy. I love you."

"I love you too."

When I was out of her room I started crying. Sometimes it just hurts too much and I miss her, I mean she was my first love. I know it`s hard for her to not have a mother, but I haven´t met anyone yet who could make me feel like she did.

Clary`s POV

It felt weird being back in New York. Five years is a very long time to be away from your family. I know I probably shouldn`t have left at all, but after what happened I just couldn`t be here. Sometimes the nightmares still wake me up in the middle of the night screaming and crying. And I couldn`t have let anything happen to them. I needed to protect them. They are my world. They mean everything to me. I can`t even imagine what I would`ve done to myself by now if they weren`t here.

"Mommy, when are we gonna see grandma?"

"Yeah mommy we want to meet her."

I know I should´ve brought them to see her sooner but I just couldn´t come back here. I don´t even know why I´m here right now. Actually… I guess I kind of missed my mom and I had some… unfinished business here. Even after what he did I just needed him to see them.

"I know you wan`t to go meet her, but you have to wait a little longer, we have to go see uncle Luke first, okay?" I smiled at them. They absolutely loved Luke.

"We are gonna see uncle Luke?" They yelled I unison and started cheering.

"Yeah we are. You excited?"

"Of course, mommy. He`s so cool and he always gives us stuff." I smiled.

"I think he`s cool even when he doesn`t give you stuff."

"You`re just jealous because he doesn`t give you as much candy as us." They started laughing.

"Wait when did he give you candy?" I asked them with a suspicious smile. I have told Luke a million times not to give them too much candy but he just won`t listen. I´ll have to talk to him about that.

I watched them as they realized what they just said. "He didn`t give us any candy what are you talking about?" They said a they started to back away.

"I´m gonna get it out of you even when if I will have to tickle you." I said with a smile.

"You`re gonna have to catch us first!" They yelle running away and I smiled.

"I´ll take that as a challenge!" I yelled after them and started running.

Jace`s POV

I was just organizing the shelves when two kids came running into the store.

"We have to hide, quick!" One with red hair yelled.

"There`s nowhere to hide in here, she`s gonna find us!" The other kid with really dark brown hair looked upset.

They were running around the store like a pair of tornados. Just as I was about to tell them not to run in the store one of them ran into a little table with a really expensive vase on it.

I watched the vase brake into a million pieces and thought well there goes my bonus. I was walking towards the kids who we´re crying now. How could I be mad at them?

"Hey It`s okay, stuff like that happens." I tried to calm them down but they just kept crying.

"We wan´t mommy!" They said at the same time.

"I promise you I will help you find your mommy if you stop crying, okay?" I said and they looked at me.

"Will you promise by the angel?" Red haired boy asked. What does that even mean?

"Yeah, sure I´ll promise by the angel." They smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Can you tell me you´re names?" I decided that they were twins. They just looked so similar...except the hair.

"I´m Austin Damon Fray." The dark-haired boy said.

"And I am Alex Damien Fray." The red-haired boy smiled at me.

Wow their parents must have a great imagination.

"What`s your name?" Austin asked me.

"I´m Jace Herondale. It`s nice to meet you guys!"

"It`s nice to meet you too Jace!" How do they do that?

The door bell rang and someone came running in. As I looked up I saw the most beautiful redhead come right towards me and the kids.

"What happened?" She had a worried expression on her face. She must be their mom.

"Mommy!" They ran towards her and hugged her tightly. They were crying again.

"Is everything alright?" She had emerald-green eyes just like the boys.

"We broke the vase mommy!" They were sobbing now.

"We`re sorry, we didn´t mean to brake it!" She wiped their tears away.

"It`s okay, please don´t cry anymore, okay?" They smiled at her.

"Okay." They hugged her again and I felt my heart melt and smiled.

Clary`s POV

It was when the boys stopped crying and I stood up that I saw the man who was standing there smiling at us. I felt my heart skip a beat. He was handsome...and I was staring at him with an open mouth.

I closed it and shook his hand.

"I´m Clary and these are Aus..." He cut me off before I could finish the sentence.

"I´m Jace and they," he smiled at my boys and they smiled back," already told me their names."

"Oh, okay."

"About the vase..." He started to say.

"Oh, of course," I completely forgot about that,"was that expensive?" I asked him and he gave me a small grin, which made my heart flutter.

"Actually, yes but don´t worry about it, I´m sure Luke will understand."

"I´m sure he will because he`s kind of a father to me...so yeah." He looked at me with confusion.

"I didn´t know that Luke had a kid." He looked surprised and I laughed a little.

"He doesn´t but he`s my mom`s boyfriend." He shooked his head in disbelief.

"You are Jocelyn`s daughter?"

"How do you know my mom?" I asked know being the one confused.

"I`ve seen her a few times around here with Luke." That makes sense.

"Do you know where Luke is right now, I need to talk to him."

"He just left to get..." He was cut of by a little girl.

"Daddy!" She yelled and ran into Jace`s arms. He has a kid. They look so sweet together!

"Hi baby girl," he smiled at her and gave her a quick kiss on the head,"how was your day?"

"It was good, why did Luke pick me up and not you?" She asked him.

"Because daddy had to work and Luke offered to pick you up, okay?" He smiled.

"Okay." He put her down.

"Hi what`s your name?" I asked her.

"Emily, but everyone calls me Emmi." She said. She was so cute with golden hair and golden brown eyes.

"My name is Clary, and they are Austin and Alex."

"Hi, It`s nice to meet you." The boys said.

"It`s nice to meet you too." She smiled at the boys and they smiled back at her.

The bell rang and Luke walked in, almost dropping his stuff when he saw me.

"Clary!" He smiled and hugged me tightly."I´ve missed you so much!"

"I´ve missed you too Luke it has been way too long!" I hugged him back.

He pulled away and saw the boys.

"Hi guys, have you been good to your mom?" He smiled at them.

"Uncle Luke!" They yelled and attacked him.

They pulled away and Luke looked around, he saw the broken vase and his mouth dropped open.

"You´ve been here a few minutes and you already broke something?"

I thought he was angry at first but then he started laughing and we all laughed with him.

"You two are just like your mom." He said with a smile.

"I´m sorry about the vase Luke, I can pay you back if you want."

"Oh, It`s okay, really."

"Mommy can we go to the park with Emmi please?" The twins asked me.

"Please daddy?" Emmi asked batting her eyes.

"I don´t kmow guys I need to talk with Luke..." He cut me off.

"We can talk later," go have fun with the kids,"I won´t go anywhere."

"Jace are you okay with that?" I asked and he looked at me.

"Yeah, go ahead, you can take Emmi and..."

"Oh no, you are going with them." Luke said grinning.

"But I have to work and..." Luke cut him off again.

"I can finish here and besides It`s only two hours until closing time, so go and have fun!"

"Really Luke, are you sure?" Jace asked.

"Yeah go ahead now." He shooed us out of the store.

"Thanks Luke, we´ll talk later!" I yelled before he closed the door.

"So where are we going?" Jace asked, when the door closed behind us.

"To the park!" The kids yelled.

We started laughing and walking towards the park. Jace was looking at me the whole time and when I looked back at him I felt like air was knocked out of me.

He was looking at me like no one has ever looked at me before, like I was the most special thing on the Earth.
