The day Clary told me she was pregnant was the happiest day of my life. I always had my doubts about raising a child as I had only been raised by a man who taught me to love was to destroy. Turns out he was right, and wrong.

Once upon a time I was a teenage boy and I fell in love with a beautiful redhead, called Clarrissa Fray/Fairchild/Morgenstern although I had my doubts for her she turned out to be a fantastic Shadowhunter. Not just a mundane with sight. We fought as a team, or against each other, no matter what I could never be mad with her for long. Turns out it's my fault she's dead.

Now I have a beautiful child well teenager called Jessica Herondale, who was raised without her mother. Clary, Alec, Isabelle, Aline and I were raiding and nest of Greater Demons and one called Nequimlm put her in a coma and threatened if we didn't give it this book called The Book Of Sapphire Clary would never arise from the coma. It gave us a week to retrieve it and give it to the demon.

We found the book on midnight on the last day. Nequimlm came and took the book and also took Clary's soul. Isabelle was her parabatai and she said she felt Clary die before the week had ended.

So 15 years on and Isabelle, Alec, Aline and I are stuck at 17, 18 and 19 forever. The Greater Demon marked us and put forever runes on us so we can never age.

Jessica walked into my room one night and asked to see pictures of her mother, Isabelle who had been in the room at the time glanced at me and shot me a look that told me that I shouldn't but I ignored it and went to Clary's room and began to rifle through her belongings.

I found it just as she had left it. Not one item out of place. There were drawings laid out on her desk, some complete, others never to be completed. I forced myself to go into the room and found the lights still working. Dust covered almost every surface it could and I made a mental note to tell someone to clear all the dust away.

When I finally got to the wardrobe that she used to store all her albums and pictures I was lost in thought. I opened it and the old hinges creaked in protest. My eyes scanned it until I found the box I was looking for, it was labelled Jace, Jessica, Alec, Aline, Izzy, Magnus 2010 I smiled and remember the day Clary and I had put a album together for Jessica, her first year.

I smiled and pulled the box out and to my surprise it was so heavy I fell backwards onto the bed laughing. I tipped the items out of the box and rifled through them. I found a photo album saying spring 2010, a new arrival I opened the album and I found a picture with Clary in a hospital bed holding a bloody blanket containing our baby girl with me stood next to them beaming with pride. Then there was one with me holding Jess in my arms while singing a lullaby to her.

After a while I came across the birth scan, or whatever you call them, Clary had. I remember at first Clary didn't tell me that she'd became pregnant until I found the scan lying on her desk top.

Then I heard a knock at the door, Isabelle, "Hey bro, looks like you could use some support. I've been dying to see these pictures forever!" she picked up a album saying Izzy, my parabatai "Can I..." her voice trailed off as she traced the outline of the book, I nodded and she began to look through it.

A few hours later Isabelle and I were laughing our heads off looking at pictures of us pulling random faces at the camera and ended up taking a bunch of albums out of the room to show Jessica.

"Dad these are amazing," she said and looked through the album, "I can't believe I never met her, yet I know her life story." That comment brought a tear to my eye.

"Jace, you coming to Pandemonium?" Alec asked me, I nodded, I could of used with a good demon hunt, "Good, good. Jess, you coming? You could come in helpful seeming as we need male demon eye candy." Jessica nodded.

I knew demon activity had been low that day so I went to gear up with Alec and Isabelle.
