Time Jump- Graduation

Clary POV:

Today was the day that I was graduating high school and to be honest I didn't think I was going to make it when I was a freshman, especially after getting pregnant, but here I am. I'm 18 years old, with a 4 year old daughter, and have been in a relationship with the man of my dreams for almost a year and a half. The past year and half with him has been amazing. We both got into NYU, and decided to commute, just like Alec and Izzy. We all lived in the Lightwood house together, and their parents announced that they were moving to Europe to be closer to work, so it was ours. Sometimes I wonder how they raised such amazing kids with being such absent parents but we're all doing extremely well and I couldn't wait for the future with them.

The graduation was really short, and simple. Alec was sitting in the stand with Max and Olivia. It was all I needed. After the ceremony we all made our way to the parking lot to meet up. Jace and I were walking hand in hand when Olivia spotted us and ran towards us and Jace scooped her up and she gave both of us a hug. Izzy made us pose for a family picture because we were quote 'the cutest family ever' and I couldn't help but agree. We were a family, and I couldn't be happier that Jace came into my life because I don't know what Olivia and I would do without him. She loved him so much and I knew he loved her. We put Olivia down and Jace whispered something in her ear and she smiled and looked up at me.

"Mommy! Daddy gave me a new necklace. Would you like to see?" I looked at the chain around her neck.

"Of course baby." I bent down and pulled the necklace out of her dress but instead of being a regular necklace there was a ring hanging from it. I gasped and looked at Jace who was down on one knee as Olivia was standing next to him.

"Clarissa, I know we're young but I know you are without a doubt the only girl I want to spend the rest of my life with. You and Olivia are my world, and I want to make you two the happiest girls in the world. Would you do me the honor of marrying me Clary?" I was so shocked that all I could do was nod. He wrapped his arms around me and slid the ring on my finger. Olivia is jumping up and down cheering.

"You'll finally be my real daddy!" She screams and it draws a slight crowd. Izzy is drying her tears and Alec is holding Max who has the biggest smile on his face. Jace picks Olivia up and we all gather into a group hug. I will finally have the family that I've always wanted, and Olivia will have something permanent. The future with Jace seems so bright that I don't think anything in the world could possibly ruin the amazing mood I'm in. I kiss Jace and Olivia and we head home to celebrate graduation, and the engagement, and starting the process of Jace adopting Olivia. Everything was falling into place, and I couldn't be happier heading into the future with my family.
