Jace's Pov

I ended up taking a nap but being woke up fifteen minutes later to the doorbell I stalked to the door and threw it open and in walked the camera men and I groaned, i'm glad i'm a rockstar and not a movie star because this would drive me nuts twenty four seven. "So when are we leaving?" Al asked and I glared at him.

"Not for awhile his game doesn't start until six so I guess we have some time.."

"Well in that case want to see some of the footage we got from the past couple of days?" He asked and I nodded.

I got to watch some of the footage from Alec, Jordan, Eric, and Sebastian days and they all seemed to be doing better then me, well other than Alec him and Magnus fought a lot on camera because they were trying to adopt again but Magnus didn't want people butting into that. They finally started showing me some of the footage they talk from when we were at the mall with the kids and I seen the look on Ryland's, Jessie, Liam, and Logan's faces when a group of people came up to me I seen them walk over to Clary miserably and sit there I seen Jessie tell Clary she was gonna be late. I seen her tell Clary she was use to me ignoring her and how sad she was when she said it. I leaned back and was gonna ask them to turn it off when it switched to a different scene Ryland and Clary laying in bed talking about how she didn't feel like I loved her anymore. "Can we turn this off please?" I asked feeling terrible, I always felt like I was doing the right thing trying to put a barrier between my home life and my work life and now I realize that i'm destroying the one thing that makes me want to keep going. I pulled my phone out and headed towards the door.

"Where are you going Herondale?"

"I've got somethings to take care of before Ryland's game." I said and headed out.

When I got to where I wanted to go Bat called me and I ignored it until I was done with what I needed to do to prove to Clary I understood her feelings and needed her to stay.

"Sorry I missed your call had some things to take care of."

"It's okay, so we need to talk about the new tour schedules so I need you to come over."

"Now?"

"Yes now."

"Ryland has a hockey game."

"What's more important here Jace, your job or a game the kid plays every week you can see it next week and it will be the same."

"Yeah but he was expecting me to be there and-"

"It will only take a half hour."

"I'm sorry Bat but I need to be at his game I already let him down enough in the past couple of days I can't i'm sorry call Jordan or Eric."

"You're kidding right Jace you're the lead-"

"I'm sorry but my family needs to be my priority right now before I lose them." I said and hung up and headed down towards the rink.

Clary's Pov

The kids were waiting for Jace to get here that's all they were talking about in the car was how much they missed him and how they didn't like the hotel because it was creepy. "Daddy!" Jessie yelled and bolted off of Alec's lap and straight into Jace's arms.

"Hi princess. You being good for mommy?"

"Yep, but I left my blankie and spots at your house he must be really lonely without me."

"When you go over to your dad's house on Friday you can get them." I said and she nodded.

"Hi Clary." Jace said and I nodded towards him. "Please talk to me?"

"Hi Jace." I said and he sighed.

"Can I take to you real quick." Jace said and I shook my head.

"Don't you think we've done enough fighting already?"

"We aren't gonna fight. I promise."

"Fine…." I got up and he pulled me towards the entrance Magnus and Alec watched us go.

"Here." He said handing me keys.

"What's this?"

"There keys." He said and I smiled a little.

"I can see that."

"There to your new apartment."

"Jace-"

"Let me finish please." He said and I nodded. "You told me to decide what I wanted and I know you don't want to be with me right now and these keys are me saying I want you and I don't want you guys to leave." He said as tears came to his eyes. "I get what you mean Clary when I'm home I don't act like I'm home I'm always on the phone I act like a dick half the time and when we go out I ignore the kids when I see fans and I never realized how crappy that made them feel or you I always just thought I owed them that because there my fans and if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have anything I have… I'm so sorry.." He said and he wiped my tears. "I'm not asking you to come home because I know you need time, I guess we both do but I don't want a divorce you are the best thing in my life and you keep me looking forward you're the better part of me and I can't lose that; I won't lose that. So take the keys and I'll be here when you want to come home." He held his hand out shaking with the keys in his palm and I took them from him.

"What made you realize?"

"They let me watch some of what they shoot and I realized i'm-"

"H-how much did they uh let you watch?" The baby.

"Not much? Why?"

"I was just wondering…"

"Is something on your mind that you want to talk about?"

"Do you already know? And you just want me to tell you?"

"Do I know what? This is all really confusing."

"Nothing i'm just going crazy I guess." I want to tell him but he's finally getting it and I don't want to ruin anything.

"When you go to the apartment it has a surprise for you."

"For me?"

"A way of me saying i'm sorry and I love you."

"Is it a fully furnished apartment? Because that will be a great surprise."

"Well it is furnished but that isn't the surprise."

"What is it?"

"Not telling you." He said with a smile and for the first time I didn't get mad when we talked I felt happy and stress free.

"The games starting we should go." I said and he nodded.

The camera men had gotten there a little before the game started and set up I wanted to be angry but for some reason I felt okay with it I don't know why but it didn't piss me off like I felt it would. "Let's go Maxie! And RyRy!" Jessie said when she seen them on the ice. She was sitting on Jace's lap, Logan was on mine, and Liam was on Alec's lap singing a song he made up about Ryland.

"Good job Max." Magnus said hugging him, Max had scored the winning goal.

"Thanks Papa."

"I didn't see Zach tonight, is he sick?" Jace asked Ryland and shook his head.

"They moved."

"Moved?" Jace and I said in unison.

"Yeah to China." Jessie said shrugging.

"Ah baby i'm sorry I know how much Henry meant to you."

"It's okay mommy i've moved on."

"Yeah now she's kissing some bow named Alan."

"Excuse me?" Jace said and Jessie hit Ryland.

"You pinkie promised you wouldn't say anything." She said and I started to laugh.

"That's not funny, even a little bit. You young lady are five and should not be kissing any boys."

"I kiss you, and Ryland, and Liam, and Logan."

"That's different no more kissing boys or even looking at them."

"Overprotective dad alert." Magnus said and Rylie laughed.

"I'm hungry." Liam said with his head back and tapping on Jace's leg.

"We are going to eat right now." He said and Liam nodded.

"It's Jace and Alec!" Someone said when we walked into the restaurant which attracted a few more people and they ran up to him.

"Can we have your autograph?"

"I'm sorry guys I can't right now but I appreciate the love." He said and picked up Logan and pointed towards a table big enough for all of us. Ryland's eyes were widened and he was shocked that Jace ignored his fans but he smiled and went over to his dad and sat beside him Jessie on the other side of him.

Jace had texted me the address of the new apartment and it wasn't far from the kids school at all which I really liked we were walking around the complex trying to find our number when I seen a familiar face. "Oh my god!" She said and ran towards me, Jace's fan from the doctor.

"Hi you live here?"

"Yes what are you doing here?"

"Um well…"

"My mommy and daddy are fighting so now we live here." Jessie said shrugging.

"Oh… I'm so sorry."

"It's okay really.." She turned her attention towards Jessie.

"I like your hearing aids." She said and Ryland moved closer towards her.

"If you're gonna make fun of her-"

"Oh no of course not." She said and moved her hair out of her face and turned her head showing off her own hearing aids.

"You have hearing aids too." Jessie said with a huge smile.

"Yeah ever since I was born."

"Hey me too." She said with a smile.

"I never really got your name." I said.

"Kelly."

"It was nice to see you again."

"It was nice to see you too." She was about to walk away.

"Do you think you can help us find 1001?" I asked and she smiled.

"That's right by me, this way." She said and we followed her and she pointed towards a building. "There you go."

"Thank you." I said and Jessie signed something to her but I couldn't see what she said.

"Mommy I like her, can she babysit us?" Jessie asked and Ryland nodded.

"You know she's a fan of your dad's band."

"Who isn't a fan of the best band in the world?" Ryland said and Liam and Logan said 'yeah' in unison.

"Well excuseeeee meeeeee." I said and they all laughed, I opened the door and we walked in Jessie and the twins ran down the little hallway and Jessie screamed.

"We have a puppy!"

"What?" I said and walked down the hallway and seen the puppy that I had begged Jace for a few weeks ago and I smiled he ran towards me with a little red bow on him. "Hi Zeus." I said scratching his head.

"Mommy do I have to share a room with the twins? Ryland said I had to." Jessie said crossing her arms.

"Yes you do."

"But mommy."

"Jess you don't always get what you want in life."

"But-"

"No buts you and your brothers are sharing a room end of story."

"Fine but I won't like it." She said and walked into a room I followed her on one side of the room were bunk beds and the other side was a regular bed with princess sheets. "I miss daddy already."

"You're gonna be at his house this weekend."

"Are you coming?"

"No baby, daddy and I are taking a break."

"Are you gonna get a boyfriend?" She asked and Liam and Logan stopped wrestling on the floor and looked at me with golden eyes that was all their fathers.

"What no Jess… Just because we aren't together right now doesn't mean i'm gonna get a boyfriend."

"I won't call him dad." Jessie said and gave a little nod.

"Okay sassy pants." I said and she smiled.

"I'm not wearing pants." She said and looked down at her dress.

I walked into Ryland's room and he was sitting on the floor playing with Zeus. "You okay bubbie?"

"It's like old days, well with more people but still."

"Yeah…"

"Do you think dad's mad at me?"

"Why would you think that?"

"I was mean to him.. The night we left I said something really mean and I don't want him to be angry with me."

"If there's one thing I know about your dad it's that he can never stay mad at you kids. You guys are his world."

"And you too mama."

"Keep an eye on him for me this weekend he's probably lost without us." I said and Ryland laughed.

"Dad said he hasn't cooked since we left so that means we get to eat out ever night."

"Oh god no." I said and Ryland smiled.

"I miss Rocky and Lyric."

"So do I."

"Can I bring them here?"

"I think that will be too many dogs in this little apartment."

"We should get a chihuahua."

"Rocky would eat it."

"No he would not." Ryland said smiling and shaking his head.

"I'd tell him too."

"That's so mean."

The kids and I spent the night building with legos and playing games it made me really miss Jace but I was also thankful for the time I got with my babies.

Jace's Pov

Clary had texted me and told me they made it to the apartment, I walked around the house trying to find something to keep me busy I walked into the studio room and sat down at the piano and started to play trying to come up with a song for the kids when my phone buzzed.

Sebastian: Ayyy party at my house heard you and Clary were fighting come out man you ain't got no kids no responsibility right now.. COME ON!

Do you think Jace will go to the party? Also i'm really not sure if Clary is gonna have the baby or have a miscarriage, I've been going back and forth on what should happen with the baby... Also I wasn't saying I was gonna end the story any time soon I still have to do Ryland and Jessie's rebellious teen years and come on who doesn't want to see Jace when Jessie gets her first real boyfriend? Its gonna be a really long story but I was just wondering your guys point on it since you guys read and send me all the love. As always I love you guys.
