Hi guys ! This chapter take place 5 years after the events of City of Heavenly Fire and 2 years after the last chapter ! I really hope you will like it !


It was crushing her bones from the inside. The pain was insurmountable, unbearable.

"- Mom, I beg you, mom, you have to find him. I can't do it without him !"

Tessa Gray placed her hand on Clary's huge belly, with a little smile.

"- Well, I think you will have to, sweetie. Because the babies are coming."

Four surprised faces turned to her but only Alec could open his mouth.

"- Did you say 'Babies' ? Like.. More than one ?

- Of course ! Clary, honey, you didn't think about having only one baby with a huge belly like that ? No offense hm."

Clary almost fainted. The pain was torturing her. She was crying, holding Alec's hands as hard as she could, and the poor Alec was suffering in silence. They were together, talking in the kitchen of the Herondale's manor, when she broke waters. He immediately called Jocelyn and Luke, as Jace was unreachable. When Jocelyn and Luke arrived, they looked panicked but were accompanied by Tessa Gray and Zachariah, who wanted to be called James or Jem now. The Warlock and the former Silent Brother decided to help Clary to give birth and Alec stayed, holding her hand.

She caught his arm, looking at him desperately. The blood vessels in her eyes exploded because of the pain, sweat and tears mixed on face stretched by pain.

"- Alec you have to find him. Go. Go away, call him, use runes, ask Magnus for help. I beg you. Find him."

He nodded and disappeared through the door.

"- Clarissa, honey ? You will have to push now.

- What ?! Now ?! No ! Tessa, I beg you, keep them from..."

Her sentence ended in a long scream of pain, followed by a lot of them. Jocelyn and Luke were holding their daughter's hands, supporting her, while Tessa and Jem helped her giving birth.

"- Mom..."

New tears were running over her face.

"- Mom, I want Jace.. I can't do it..."

A scream resounded in the air. A scream that no one ever heard before Clary straightened her head and looked at her first newborn, amazed.

"- See ? You can do it. Keep going !"

While Jem took the first baby, the pain started again, harder, deeper.

Suddenly the door flew open and she opened her eyes, praying to see her husband appearing but it was only Alec, wide-eyed.

"- What is it ? The sight of blood makes you..."

Another scream cut off her sentence and Alec rushed towards her, taking Luke's place, while he was taking care of the first baby with Jem.

"- I can't do it anymore, it's too hard, too painful, I can't do it anymore. Stop it, I beg you, stop it.."

The pain swell, swell until it took all the place, she was enshrouded by shadows and pain. And suddenly, the light. Blinding light, which rejected the pain. Blinding light that came from her second newborn's first scream.

Pain and shadows went away and Clary opened her eyes. Her parents showed her the two little babies, warmly covered in pink and blue blankets. They put the babies in her arms. She could feel their warm bodies against her own body. She only had eyes for her children, for the little human beings, resting in her arms.

The door opened again and she looked up.

He was here. As awesome as he was the first time she saw him. Maybe even more, baffled and vulnerable as he was, faced with his wife and his children.

Jocelyn, Luke, Tessa, Jem and Alec moved away, smiling and silent, leaving them with their happiness.

"- Am I seeing double ?

- No, you are not. Let me introduce you to your daughter..." She leaned her head towards the baby wrapped in the pink blanket with a fascinating smile. "And to your son." She did the same towards the baby wrapped in the blue blanket.

Jace fell on his knees, almost crying. He caught Clary's sheet and hold it, his body shaking.

"- Jace, my love, come. Come near me, take your children in your loving arms."

He got up, still shaking and took his daughter in his arms, akwardly, him who normally was so agile.

"- Do you know how we want to call them ? I only have an idea for our little girl.

- Let's make a deal. You choose our daughter's first name, and I choose the second, but I choose our son's first name and you choose his second. Okay ?"

His voice was tremulous, he was looking at the little girl in his arms as if it was the first time he saw the sun.

"- I wish to call her Celine."

Jace looked right in his wife's green eyes. Celine was the name of his mother, who comitted suicide after the murder of her husband, which was comitted by Clary's father. Thinking about it, he realized that they both were bound from birth.

"- It will fit her wonderfully."

Clary blushed and caressed her son's little nose with a loving smile.

"- Do you have an idea for our son's name ?"

Jace smiled. He nodded and sat down, on the chair near to Clary's bed.

"- Can we call him Jonathan ?"

Her eyes filled with tears. She missed her brother. For a long time, the pain had taken all the place. In the last minutes of his life, she caught a glimpse of the brother she could have had, but he had been taken away from her. Jonathan, her brother died in their mother's arms, killed by Clary's sword.

But, after having taken the entire space in her belly, her newborn children took the entire space in her heart. There was no place for pain anymore. She was happy. Entirely happy.

Clary whispered, touching her son's nose with her own.

"- Hello my little Jonathan..."

The litte boy opened two big green eyes which, she noticed, had some golden gleam, reminding her of Jace's eyes, and looked silently at her mother.

He frowned, upset for being woken up and started crying, screaming, waking up his sister.

And Jace Herondale, one of the most famous shadowhunters, who had fought against more enemies than Jonathan Shadowhunter himself, who went to the demon realms of Edom and came back, safe and sound, couldn't hide the fear and the pain in his eyes when he saw his two newborns starting to cry.

Alec, followed by Clary's parents, Tessa Gray and Jem, entered the room, running and panicked, obviously alerted by Alec's parabatai rune.

They gazed at the whole roo

m, looking for some enemies, but only saw Jace, holding his crying daughter against him and whispering her a french lullaby, almost crying too, overhelmed by all the feelings.

Clary looked at them, tenderly smiling and cuddling her son.

"Let me introduce you to our children. In my arms, is Jonathan William Herondale. And in Jace's arms, the little girl who is already back to sleep, is Celine Alexandra Herondale."

Tessa looked at Jem, an emotional smile on her mouth, similar to Jem's one. They were both thinking the same thing. Will was with them, again.

Jocelyn was crying because of happiness. Celine had been a close friend and Jonathan was her son. Jonathan is her son.

Alec bit his lower lip. He knew. Clary looked at him, with a little smile on her lips, and he knew. They called their daughter Alexandra because of him. Because of his name. He came near to Clary and kissed her forehead.

"- Congratulations honey." He said, and silently added, so only she was able to hear him.

He gently tickled the newborn and smiled when she babbled in response.
