HEY GUYS! Thank you so much for the reviews! I've been writing this chapter while at work for the past 2 days and I felt like the last one was to short so hopefully this one is better. I used a Gwen Stafani song instead of Avril lavigne because I just felt like it went better in this one. As always I don't own the tmi characters. Hope you enjoy It! Much love!
Clary's POV
I take one last look at my apartment making sure there isn't anything left behind. A sudden sense of relief washes over me and I think about what I am about to do. Moving states away won't be easy but it's a step in the right direction for me and my babies. I cradle my stomach and just smile out the window. I just take everything in for a few moments to remember. It's cloudy out but not as dull anymore. There are kids jumping in the puddles that cover the streets and grass. I take a deep breath and picked up the last box and head to my car.
"Well kiddos looks like it's just you and me. We can do this!" I exclaim as enthusiastically as I can. Giggling to myself I turn the car on and blare the music and take off. I don't allow myself to think about everyone I'm leaving behind it's just too painful. Instead I just think of it as a spiritual calling..
Bullshit I'm running away because I'm a coward but whatever I'm going to call it whatever I want to call it..
The babies begin kicking and I just smile and continue driving.
"Are you guys ready to meet mommy's new managers? I'm sure their excited to meet you"
Maia and Jordan had called me about a week ago telling me they would like to sign me even if I was pregnant. They were then only ones who knew and agreed to keep my performances local and not over seas. I was estactic that someone else knew about the babies. It's terrifying to go about this alone. I begin thinking about what our new life will be like as I merge onto the freeway South.
Jace's POV
It's been about 3 weeks since Clary disappeared. I'm going insane with misery I don't even know what's reality and what's not anymore. I see her everywhere for crying out loud! I see her when I close my eyes, when I walk into the library, I don't even go near the greenhouse anymore. I see her in all her paintings and I see her most when I see my family. I hate it I hate it so much. I hate that I let this happen. I hate that I can't remember a damn thing.
I walk to the living room exhaling loudly before walking in. I know they're all in there. Alec, Izzy, and Magnus are beyond pissed at me but surprisingly it's Simon who believes me when I say I didn't do it willingly. I don't know why but it was him who found me that day..
FLASHBACK
Izzy just got done yelling profanities at me. Aline left with a smirk and I just continued to stare at the present in my hands. I continue to ignore and slowly start to take out pieces of tissue paper and look down into the bag. It was a small painting of Clary and I. Her arms are around my neck and my hands were on her lower back. I was smirking at her while she glows up at me. A heart shape surrounded us but half the heart was pink and the other blue. I couldn't figure out why she chose those colors. I figured it was because I was a boy and she was a girl. I slowly brought it to my mouth and kissed the picture. My heart shattering into a million pieces.
Izzy left some time ago slamming the door to my room. I don't know how long I stayed laying on my side staring at the picture Clary painted until I heard a knock on the door. I looked at the time 5:00pm I hadn't realized a full 24 hours had gone by it's not like it matters anymore. My will to live is gone. I slowly turn to glare at whoever opened the door but stopped mid turn and was shocked to see Simon.
"Hey bud" Simon said awkwardly. I just stared at him waiting for whatever it is he was planning.
"Look I'm beyond pissed at what you did to Clary but I also know that you love her just a fiercely as she loves you. There's no way you would have just thrown her away like trash. I just want to know why and what are you going to do to get her back." He states firmly.
"I love her more than my own life. I don't know why Aline was here. I thought it was Clary. She looked like Clary!" I begin to cry even harder then before.
"Don't worry I believe you I still hate you but I believe you. We'll figure this out and get my best friend back."
END OF FLASH BACK
I pushed the door open and walk in slowly. Everyone but Simon are giving me death glares.
"What. The. Fuck. Do. You. Want. Herondale." Izzy growls slowly. I flinch at her words but stems my ground.
"I want.. no need to help find her. I need her to know I didn't do that willingly. Regardless if you all believe me or not. She has to know I'm not lying." I plead.
"Why should we let you help Blondie" Magnus asks curiously. "Why should I let my biscuit near you again?"
I just glare at him. He never liked me and Clary together. If he wasn't with my brother I would assume he was into Clary.
"Magnus, Izzy enough" Alec booms, "Jace I don't forgive you but we need to get her back. You may help but after this" I was about to ask what when I felt a fist being driving into the side of my mouth. I cup my mouth trying to keep the blood that's currently pouring out of it off the floor. I look over at Izzy who's shaking her hand. We make eye contact and she just nods and walks over to Alec. Simon hands me a towel which I'm grateful for and place it on my mouth.
"Okay now where do we start" I say determinedly. We just all look at each other for 5 seconds before we all turn to the redheads photo in the middle of the table. Wondering just what she was doing now.
Clary's POV
6 months later
I'm due any day now and Maia won't stop smothering me. She won't let me stand for more than 15 minutes and I can't reach for things in fear that I'm gonna have a twilight moment and break my umbilical cord and die.
I snort to myself and Jordan just looks at me all funny and raises his eyebrow, which I fucking hate because I can't do that, and I just smile all angelic like and bat my eyelashes. He just laughs out loud and shakes his head and goes back to doing whatever it is he was doing there.
I look around me and try to see if Maia is near. I don't see her so I begin to edge my way to the end of the cushion. I pause every now and then looking for Maia or seeing if Jordan notices, which he doesn't, I heave myself up and just stand there for a minute. Jordan still doesn't notice and Maia hasn't shown up. SCORE! I smile all victoriously and make my way to the recording room. I haven't been over there in a couple days and I have a new song I wanted to sing.
"And just what do you think you're doing?" Maia says. I freeze and look up at the hallway entrance where a very stern looking woman stands with her arms crossed and her hip jutted out.
"Going.. to the.. recording room?" I say questioningly. I smile all innocently hoping she doesn't ask if I got up by myself.
"To the recording room? Do you have a new song already? Clary you just have us 5 the other day!" She exclaims incredulously.
"I wrote this one the other week but didn't know if I wanted to record it or not. But I like it now so I think I will." I answered.
"That's amazing! Come on Jordan and please for the love of wolves put that ridiculous book down"
"It's not ridiculous!" He defends as he hugs it to his chest.
"What are you reading exactly?" I ask curiously. His face goes red and puts it behind his back swiftly.
"Nothing" he says
Maia snorts," Its called 'How to be an uncle for dummies'." I just stare at Jordan for like 5 minutes before bursting out laughing.
"Why.. on.. earth.. would.. you.. need.. that.." I say in between giggles. His face goes even redder as he explains his reasonings about you can never be to ready and this and that. I just shake my head and head to the recording room.
As they set everything up I go behind the glass and stand in front of the microphone. I grab the headphones and place them on and look up to see Maia and Jordan giving me a thumbs up and I nod my head and begin. As the music starts I let myself loose and I open my mouth and start.
(The song is Misery by Gwen Stafani)
Where'd you go?
I got so used to being 'round you boy
I'm trying not to care, but where'd you go?
I'm doing my best to be sensible
I'm trying not to care, but
You're like drugs, you're like drugs to me
I'm so into you totally
You're like drugs, you're like drugs to me
Drugs to me
I think about all the times I have been with Jace. All the stolen kisses and the hugs. Of all the times we held hands. I can feel my heart start to become heavy. It doesn't matter how much I try. I can't let that boy go.
So put me out of my misery
Hurry up, come see me
Put me out of my misery
Hurry up, come see me
Enough, enough of this suffering
Hurry up, come see me
Put me out of my misery, put me out of my misery
At the door

Like what your love would taste like
Give me more
Don't sell this feeling at the grocery store
Oh cause your love, it taste like
You're like drugs, you're like drugs to me
I'm so into you totally
You're like drugs, you're like drugs to me
Drugs to me
I wonder what everyone's doing. Do they miss me? Do they realize I'm gone? I miss them all so much especially Simon.

I can feel tears spring to my eyes as i continue to sing. So much emotion is cousring through me that I might need a nap after this to calm down. Pregnancy hormones plus just plain girl hormones... yeah not so good.
Put me out
(You're in so much trouble)
Out of my misery
Put me out
(You're in so much trouble)
Out of my misery
Put me out
(You're in so much trouble)
Out of my misery
Put me out

Put me out of my misery
I finish singing and look up. They're just standing there staring at me in shock. I try to figure out why and I go to ask what's wrong when I felt a sharp pain come from my stomach. I cry out and that seems to knock them into reality and they rush through the door towards me.
"What's wrong are you Okay?" Jordan asks worriedly.
"I think my water just broke.." I whispered. To scared to do anything I look down and notice water every where. I was so into my song that I didn't even notice my water breaking! Fuckin hell!
"I already called the hospital. They're expecting us let's go. Jordan grab the bags!" Maia yells.
"Right bags, clothes, keys.. OH MY GOD THAT BOOK HAS TAUGHT ME NOTHING!" He yells as he runs out the room.
I just chuckle but gasp as I feel another contraction hit. Maia rushes me out the room and towards the front door. As we step out Jordan is already throwing things into the car and places towels on the seats because heaven forbid anything happens to his car.
"Okay everything is all set!" He says excitedly. I get into the car and Maia jumps in and we race to the hospital. When we get there I'm placed in a wheel chair and rushed into one of the delivery rooms. Maia stayed behind to fill out paper work and Jordan comes with me so I dont panic.
"Okay Ms. Fray it seems like we don't have to wait long for your children so we will begin pushing on your next contraction. Just try to breathe and relax as much as you can." States the Doctor.
I just glare at him but does as he says. Maia slips into the room and comes to my other side. I feel a contraction come and I push with all my night. I scream at the pain and pray to the Angels that this is over soon.
"Okay Clary just one more push and this baby will be out." Exclaims the doctor.
I push hard on the next contraction and I can literally feel the baby slip out of me. Creepiest feeling ever by the way. And the Doctor hands the baby over.
"It's a boy! Congratulations! But it seems like your second one wants out too. It's already crowing! Okay on 3 you push 1..2..3.. PUSH!" yells the Doctor.
I push with all the energy I have left and I scream so loud that Jordan and Maia flinch from me I push so hard that the pain just elevates. I feel the second leave me too and fall back into the bed. Breathing heavily and feeling so exhausted.
"Congratulations Ms. Fray it's a girl. They're both incredulously gorgeous babies." He states proudly as if he's the one who just had them.
"Thank you doctor. Are they healthy?" I ask.
"Yes would you like to hold them?" He asks stupidly. I breathe in and out before throwing something at him.
"Yes please" I say politely. He and a nurse both bring my children over. They place pillows under my arms and then place 4th babies in my arms. I look down and gasp as I stare at my children. My baby girl has my red hair where as my boy has gold. I begin to tear up as I just stare at them. Then the most incredible thing happens. They reach for each other's hands and once they grasp onto each other they slowly open their eyes. Once I look into their eyes I begin to cry. My girl has gold eyes just like Jace where my boy has my emerald eyes. I cry harder and hug them closer to me kissing both their heads.
"What are their names?" The nurse asks so she can make up their birth certificates.
"The girl is Nyx Isabelle Herondale and the boy is Jaxon jonathan Herondale." I whisper still staring at my kids. I can't believe they're here.
"And the father?" She asks
I hesitate for the longest time before turning to her and saying," Jonathan Christopher Herondale"
