Hey guys, thanks for the feedback.
Just to let you know, I think how I'm going to work this now, is that I'll update Raising Jace one night and The Beginning the next, and I'll also try to work in updates on Shadowhunter-Warlock baby and The Journey To Save Heaven.
*DISCLAIMER* I only own Jessie, Addie and Rosie.
*ROBERT'S P.O.V.*
I smile as I go down to Addie's level.
"Hi sweetheart."I quietly say.
She slides off the couch and looks at me for a while, with a blank expression, before she smiles and throws herself into my arms. I wasn't expecting this. But I'm glad she's reacting so well.
"I love you." She mumbles into my shoulder. I haven't been told that in the longest time...
"I love you too Addie."I say, smoothing her jet black hair down.
"You're not going to go away after today, are you?" She quietly and fearfully asks, pulling back from our hug.
"Absolutely not Adele, I'm going to be here for you from now on, okay?" I firmly tell her.
"Are you gonna live here?" She asks. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to move to Idris. Isabelle, Alec and Max don't need me anymore. Isabelle and Alec are pretty much independent and Max has always been closer with Maryse. But Addie does need me.
"Not here with you and mommy but I think I will move here to Idris, so I can be here for you day or night."I tell her.
"You should!" She exclaims.
"Well what would you like us to do today Addie?" I ask.
"I wanna go somewhere with you and mommy." She says.
"Well where would you like to go?" Annamaire asks, walking up to Addie and hugging her. They clearly have a very strong bond.
"I donno, anything."Addie says, rubbing at her eyes.
"Maybe we could just stay here and talk and you can tell me all about you."I quietly suggest.
"Addie, I need to talk to your dad for a minute, alone." Anna gently says.
After Addie leaves, she turns to me and says
"Move to Idris? What about Max? He needs you too, and though Alec and Isabelle are teens now, they still need you." She says. Here we go again...
"Max prefers Maryse to me; Alexander clearly hates me and Isabelle... Isabelle faked a pregnancy to save her friend from humiliation; she can certainly take care of herself." I tell her, avoiding looking at her.
"Who had a child?" She quietly asks. I didn't think she'd care about that.
"Jocelyn and Lucian's daughter, Clarissa." I inform her.
"Robert, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking of asking me to get back together with you. The answer is no. I'm fine with you being part of Addie's life but I do not want to be with you like that." She says. I doubt she means that, we use to have such an amazing relationship.
"Oh you can't mean that, don't you remember what an amazing relationship we had? Don't you remember how much fun we had the day we conceived Addie... Just give it a go." I say, taking her hand in mine and looking at her the way I use to.
"No."She firmly says, tearing her hand from mine. "Flirt with me or attempt to seduce me one more time and you are out that door and from Addie's life. Forever." She firmly says. I don't want to be excluded from Addie's life again...
"Alright, I'm sorry." I say.
"I mean it; I'm only putting up with you for Addie's sake. We are by no means, on good terms. I'll be civil with you of course, but we are not friends or anything like that. If you do one thing that causes me not to trust you with Addie, you're out, never seeing her again. Understood?" She firmly says. I really have to be careful around Annamaire now... I hate that she doesn't want to have any sort of relationship with me at all, but at least I have Addie in my life now, what I have longed for, for nine years.
*JEM'S P.O.V.*
"Seems like Jace and Clary are doing well with saving for their own place." I say to Tessa. It's extremely awkward for them, living apart but being together and raising Rosie together. Normally Clary and Rosie will stay with us one night and Jace will stay with her the next night. It isn't good for them.
"Yes, I'm glad..." Tessa quietly says. She's been acting strange all day, I wonder what's going on, she never keeps things from me.
"Is everything okay?"I gently ask.
She wrings her hands together before quietly saying
"It's just... Oh James I think I'm pregnant."
I hope you enjoyed, please review and let me know what you thought. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
