Hey guys, thank so much for all the reviews.
I'm SO sorry I haven't updated in SO long but my document manager wouldn't let me upload.
I'm glad you all liked the names.

(Sorry for the weird chapter name)
*THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V.*
*3 weeks later*
Clary sighs and rubs her belly as she looks in the mirror.
"I look like I'm 6 months, not 4." She says. Jace chuckles, walking up behind her and putting his arms around her waist.
"Well there are two babies in there. But you still look beautiful, and you're definitely not fat."He says. Clary turns around and looks at him.
"I never said I thought I was fat." She says. Jace realizes his mistake and his eyes widen. "Would you like to re-phrase that sentence Jace?" She says.
"Yes, very much so." Jace says.
"Go ahead." Clary say.
"You are carrying twins, so it wouldn't be good if you were smaller. And you still look beautiful." He says. Clary smiles and kisses him.
"That's better." She says. He smiles and rests his hands on her belly. He feels a familiar flutter like butterfly wings, in Clary's belly. The babies moving. The babies started to move a few weeks ago.
Jace bends his head to Clary's belly and kisses it.
"Hey Sam, Max, how are you guys doing in there, huh? You nice and comfy? I bet you are. Do you recognize my voice, huh? I'm your Uncle Jace, and I love you guys so much. You know you have the best daddies ever, don't you? And the best aunties. You're very lucky babies." He coos. Jace is always talking to Max and Samantha. He loves them so much, and can't wait to meet them.
"I just hope they don't get too comfy within the last month, I don't wanna go overdue, I'm due in May and mom says it awful being pregnant in summer. She went a week overdue with me, and I was born in August." Clary tells Jace.
"Speaking of your parents, shouldn't we go see them soon? We haven't seen them since... You know." Jace says, referring to the night Izzy lost her baby. Clary nods, understanding what Jace means.
"Yeah we should, we could probably go today." She says. Jace nods in agreement.
"Sure, sounds good. They don't even know its twins, do they?"Jace asks, rubbing Clary's bump.
"No, just you me, Magnus, Alec and Brother Zachariah know I'm pregnant with twins." Clary says.
*1 hour later*
"By the angel, Clary your bump gets bigger every time I see you." Luke says, as Clary and Jace sit down on the couch in Luke and Jocelyn's place.
Clary smiles and rubs her belly.
"You're a lot bigger than most people are at four months." Jocelyn says, sitting next to Luke.
"Well, that's because it's twins." Clary happily tells her parents, whilst rubbing her swollen stomach.
"What? But you showed us the scan, and so did Alec and Magnus and there was clearly only one baby." Luke says.
"Well the night that... Izzy... lost her baby, I got really worried and stressed out, afraid that I'd lose the babies and I woke up in the middle of the night with really bad cramps. Brother Zachariah checked me over and said everything was fine, with both babies. We didn't know it was twins then, and I asked him how we didn't see the other baby in the scan, and Magnus figured out that the baby we didn't know was in there was hiding behind the one we did know about." Clary says.
"Wow, that' fantastic, did you four find out the sex?" Jocelyn asks.
"Yeah, a boy and a girl." Clary says, happily rubbing her stomach.
"Did Magnus and Alec choose names?" Luke asks.
"Yeah. For the boy, Maxwell Robert Lightwood-Bane, and for the girl Samantha Isabelle Clarissa Lightwood- Bane." Clary says, smiling as she tells them the girl's name.
"Oh honey, that's wonderful, and those names are beautiful." Jocelyn says. Clary smiles and nods.
"I was elated when Alec said those names for Sam's middle name." Clary says.
"Is Max's middle name after Robert Lightwood?" Luke asks.
"No, Dad wasn't really there for Alec, at all. He didn't accept him when he came out and he didn't approve of him and Magnus getting married, he wouldn't give them his blessing, so Alec and Magnus decided to have Robert as a middle name, but not after Dad." Jace says.
"He didn't even react when Magnus and Alec told him I'm pregnant, but he congratulated Simon and Izzy when they told him that they were expecting." Clary says.
"Well at least Alec has Maryse." Jocelyn says. Maryse didn't care that Alec was gay, she was just happy he was happy. She was elated when he and Magnus got engaged and Married and she was over the moon when she learnt that they were going to have a baby. She's been great to Alec, and has happily accepted Magnus into the family.
"Mom's been amazing to all of us over the past few years." Jace says.
*2 hours later*
Alec smiles at Isabelle as she and Simon walk into the library where He, Magnus, Clary and Jace are. Both Isabelle and Simon are still distraught over the miscarriage but they spend a lot of time with the family.
"Hey Iz." He says.
"Hey." She says, sitting beside Clary.
"Holy crap you're big." She says, seeing Clary's bump.
"Hi Izzy how are you?" Clary jokes. Izzy smiles.
"Seriously though, why are so big?" Simon asks his best friend.
"Because there are two babies in there." Clary says, rubbing her belly.
"What?! No way!" Simon says.
"Yep, two babies." Jace says. Izzy is smiling broadly, elated for her brother and his husband. She gets up and hugs them.
"You guys this is amazing! I'm so happy for you!" She says. Alec smiles and squeezes her hand.
"Thanks Iz." He says.
"Do you know the sexes?" Simon asks.
"Yep, a boy and a girl." Magnus says.
"Do you have names picked out?" Izzy asks.
"Yeah. For the boy, Maxwell Robert Lightwood-Bane. For the girl, Samantha Isabelle Clarissa Lightwood-Bane." Alec says. Izzy looks at her brother in disbelief.
"Oh Alec, really?" She whispers, touched that her big brother would name his little girl after her.
"Of course Iz. You're my baby sister and I love you so much, I wanted to name my little girl after the two girls I love most in the world, and obviously I couldn't name her after herself, so I named her after you and Clary. My sisters." He says. Isabelle flings herself at her brother with tears of joy rolling down her face.
"I love you Alec! I love you, I love you so much!" She says.
"I love you too Izzy." He tells her.
"We also chose godparents last night." Magnus says.
"Who did you choose?" Simon asks.
"For godmothers, Izzy and Clary. For godfathers, Jace and Simon." Magnus says.
Okay so I know it was a weird sort of an ending. I hope you enjoyed.
I love you all.
