I held Rico in my arms and silently sobbed into his tiny little baby head. I looked up when the air around me went cold and realized I was now staring into God's eyes.
"Clary Fray, I will grant you and your son back your lives, if, you can prove yourselves worth life."
"How can we prove it? I'll do anything."
"I want you to murder your father. Valentine must be stopped before he gets out of control."
"I'll do it."
"It will take many, so gather enough followers before you try anything. Come to me every night before you go to sleep to report on your progress."
"As you wish." He touched Rico and my face and I was suddenly under water. It took me a moment to realize what had happened. I grabbed Rico from the boat next to me and swam to the surface. I swam with Rico in my arms to the shore where Jace and Riku still sat crying. I touched his face and smiled as he jumped.
"Clary? I thought…but you…what?"
"I was granted a second chance at life, and I will be with you as long as you live as long as I can kill Valentine."
"Then we'll kill Valentine."
"We need to gather followers first. I was thinking we start with Izzy and Alec."
"I think that's a good idea, and we probably wanna have Luke and his pack too."
"Yeah. Maybe we can find others. Raphael and his friends?"
"Oh, yeah, they might help."
"And we could ask Magnus."
"Magnus Bane?"
"Yeah, he would probably agree to do it if we promised to get him and Raphael together."
"Or maybe him and Alec."
"You know?"
"Know what?"
"That Alec's gay?"
"He's gay?"
"Oh crap! He's gonna kill me!"
"I won't say anything. He'll never know I know."
"Good, I don't want him hating and or killing me."
"I wouldn't let him hurt you."
"Thanks. I love you Jace."
"I love you too." He handed Riku to mean and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Yay! I've got a hot boyfriend who loves me!"
"Oh? Is he bigger than me? Better looking than me?"
"Oh no. He's definitely not as smexxy as you."
"Oh, ok. As long as I'm still the sexiest man in your life."
"Oh you are, and you always will be."
"Good to know." He bent down and kissed my forehead and then my ear and nibbled on my ear lobe. I giggled quietly and turned to kiss him. He took Riku from me and ran home. I followed him not sure what he was doing. He put Riku down and grabbed Rico and put him down and grabbed my wrist and drug me into my mom's old room, and he totally rocked my world.
