Chapter 21: All You Need Is Love
Thanks for the review! I would like to thank the guest that pointed out that the mundane women in the end could not have been there since they were in Idris. Silly meAnyway, all characters belong to Cassandra Clare.
Jace`s POV
On Luke`s 5th birthday, Magnus and his boyfriend and daughters arrived early to decorate, using a ton of glitter.
"Eww," My son said. "Glitter is yucky."
Skyler, only a year old, nodded in agreement.
Her twin sister, Brooklyn, snapped her fingers and the room was instead decorated with a shadowhunting theme, the glitter replaced with a design of angels, weapons, and runes. "Betta?"
"Thanks Brooklyn," I said. "You`re a hero."
Alec, and Clary, who was hold 3-month-old Madeleine(aka Maddy), laughed. Magnus rolled his eyes.
Within a few minutes everyone had arrived. Dan, Skyler, Brooklyn, Luke, and his friends from preschool were giggling and doing silly imitations of the Seelie Queen. Alec and Magnus immediately joined in. Isabelle and Clary were talking while baby Willy and baby Maddy made funny faces at each other and giggled. Simon, Maia, Jordan, Penny(Eric`s wife0, and I were talking.
"So Simon," I said. "How do you like being a dad?"
"It`s great," He joked. "Nothing I love more than changing diapers, sleepless nights, and cleaning up spit up."
We all laughed.
"I bet you can hardly wait for Willy to be out of diapers." Jordan said.
Simon nodded.
Suddenly Eric got up. "Attention everybody, I would like to read a poem of mine in honor of dear Luke`s birthday." Everyone groaned but he didn`t seem to notice.
"Happy birthday young boy,
Don`t eat cake till your loins are clean
Never use ketchup or fart on hippos
Falling on your butt can hurt
Explosions are pink."
Alec rolled his eyes. "Remind me, why did we invite Eric."
"I have no clue," Magnus said. "but I know how to get rid of him." He handed Eric a faerie plum and he ate it, stripped of his clothes, put on some antlers, and ran down Madison Avenue.
"Praise the lord," Clary mumbled. "Alright everyone, who wants cake?"
Everyone ran toward the table. Isabelle lit the candles and after singing happy birthday we cut the cake and distributed the pieces.
"I hope you saved a piece for me," A voice said. We all turned to look as Sebastian entered the room. Everybody except Luke gasped in surprise and fear. My son got up and walked towards him. Fear immediately filled me. Sebastion was not beyond killing little boys.
"Luke don`t," Clary cried out desperately. He didn`t seem to notice.
"Don`t you dare lay a hand on him." I said, glaring at Clary`s brother and want to strangle him badly.
Luke stopped right in front of him. "I love you." He says and give Sebastian a hug. As if that wasn`t crazy enough, he smiles and returns the hug.
Sebastian looked up and I saw that is eyes had gone from black to green. "I love you too." I could tell he wasn`t pretending. I then realized why Sebastian could never love. It wasn`t because he was part demon, it was because he had never been given any love.
All you need is love.
And that's the end. Please review.
