First One Shot:
Failure
Jace POV:
For the past five years life has been really hard. I am a single father to the two sweetest girls in the world, but we're financially struggling. When I was 19, I got my girlfriend pregnant, and it was the scariest thing in the world. I had to put off college, and my parents kicked me out. Unfortunately, Samantha died during childbirth and I've been on my own ever since. We live in a run down apartment that only has one bedroom. I sleep on a couch, and with no degree I'm stuck at a dead end job at the bookstore around the corner. I try my hardest to provide for my girls, which is why I also go to school online so that one-day I'll be able to get a better job. It was a normal Monday morning and I was organizing the newest display case for the new book that was being sold when there was a ding from the door. I was already in a foul mood, the girls were late for school again this morning and I don't have a car so I had to practically run to work today, so when she walked in the door I was in no mood.
"Um, excuse me. I'm looking for Luke." She said and I didn't even bother turning around.
"He's out. Won't be back for a couple hours." I said not even trying to hide the annoyance in my voice.
"Well, could you tell him that Clary stopped by, and that I really need to talk to him." I turned around to see the most beautiful red head that I've ever laid eyes on.
"Yea, I'll tell him." Despite how pretty she was, I was still annoyed and I think she could tell.
"You know, I don't know why you're so pissed at me, I did nothing to you."
"I'm not pissed at you, I'm just having a bad day."
"Well, you're customer service needs some work. Not everyone will be as understanding as me." I didn't even bother answering her, I just turned around and continued with my work. A couple seconds later I heard the door ding again and I knew she was gone.
The rest of the day went by super slowly, and the next thing I knew it was time to pick the girls up from school. When I got there, I saw them both running up to me, with their bouncing blonde curls and bright green eyes.
"Daddy! Guess what?" Paige said as she ran into my legs.
"What Paige?"
"Emmy and I have a book report due right before Christmas break! Can we start looking for books at your work?" She beams, I knew they were both little bookworms, and when they smiled up at me like that I just couldn't deny them.
"Absolutely. How about for the next couple Saturdays you both come to work with me, and you can search through all the book shelves in search of the best book!"
"Yay!" They both yell in unison. I grab their hands and we make our way home. I loved my girls, and I would do absolutely anything for them, but I wish that I could give them world, but with no degree, and being a single parent to twins, is really hard. I want them to never feel like they are being deprived of everything 5 year olds should have, but I can't give them everything.
Time Jump- One Month Later
Clary POV:
I've been back in the states for a month now, and I was getting everything situated after my fathers death. I wasn't close to my dad, he wasn't really around much when I was growing up, and I only really heard from him on birthdays or holidays. I've been living in London for the past couple years and I absolutely loved it, but until everything is squared away, I'll be here.
My fathers death really messed up my mom. She was deemed mentally unfit to live on her own, and Luke, who's practically my uncle, signed her into a mental institute to help her deal with her long list of issues. I was going to Luke today to talk about my mom, I just needed an update on her, I feel like I can't go visit her without causing an episode, she hasn't seen me in years and I don't want to wreck her progress. When I get to the bookstore I am really hoping the blondie isn't there. He was extremely rude, and I didn't have time to deal with that today.
When I walked in there wasn't any sign of anyone, but I could hear giggles coming from one of the aisles. When I walked back there was two beautiful little girls sitting on the floor looking at books. I couldn't help but smile and make my way over to them.
"Hey pretty girls, what do you have there?" I say and they both look up at me and smile.
"I have Green Eggs and Ham!" The one said.
"And I have The Giving Tree! We have a book report due before Christmas, so we needed to get our books!"
"I see. I'm a fan of both of those books. Good choices." I smile at them and they both smile back.
"I'm Paige, and this is my twin sister Emmy, her real name is Emily but I call her Emmy, and so does daddy."
"It's very nice to meet you both, I'm Clary." I sat down and talked to them for a couple more minutes until blondie shows up and I roll my eyes until both of the girls get up and run to him.
"Daddy!" They both say and I'm shocked.
"Hey girls, did you find your books?"
"Yea, Clary helped us pick good ones. She's really nice!" I smile at him and he smiles back. Seeing him with his daughters is definitely eye opening, he isn't a rude bastard anymore, but a sweet and caring, and loving father.
"I bet. Thank you for helping them." He says and I get up and walk over to them.
"It's no problem." I smile. "Look, we got off on the wrong foot."
"Yea, I'm sorry about that. I was having a really bad day, and I took it out on you, I shouldn't have."
"How about we start over. I'm Clary." I stick out my hand and he laughs and takes it.
"I'm Jace, and you've clearly met my daughters."
"I have. They are very precious. How old are they?"
"They are five. They'll be six in April."
"How about I pay for their books. I really do feel awful about how we met, and I'd love to make it up to you."
"You really don't have to do that." He said but than he smiled. "But how about I take you out for coffee sometime this week?"
"I'd like that, but I'm still going to pay for the books. Luke is practically my uncle so he really won't mind."
"Alright, you have yourself a deal." He smiled and I came to the conclusion that I really liked his smile. We parted ways and I got into my car and headed home. I was actually kind of excited to be going to coffee with him, after my last relationship I haven't really gotten out that much and there was something about the arrogant yet sweet father of two back there that I really liked.
When the week started I was actually really excited to meet Jace for coffee. We decided that we would meet on Wednesday during his break. He said he didn't have a lot of time off, and that's all he could do otherwise his daughters would have to join. I didn't mind, I was just excited to get to know him a little better. I walked into the coffee shop and he was sitting at a table already and when I made my way over to him he gave me a hug and I felt something I haven't felt in a long time. We sat and talked for maybe 25 minutes before he got a call from his daughters school.
"Hello?" He answered. "Are you kidding me? Which one?" He seemed to be getting more frantic. "Alright, I'll be there as soon as I can." He hung up the phone. "Apparently Emmy started throwing up during school and wouldn't stop and they had to take her to the hospital. I have to go see her." He got up and than something went off in his head. "Shit, Paige is still at school."
"I can go get her if you want."
"Really?"
"Yea, you need to go see how Emmy is doing, and going to get Paige and than getting to the hospital will just take too much time. Plus, Emmy probably really wants her daddy."
"Thank you so much. I'll call the school and tell them that you're going to go get her." He gave me the biggest hug ever before rushing out the door. I made my way back to my car and started driving to their school. When I got there I went straight to the office.
"Excuse me, I'm here to pick up Paige Herondale, her sister was taken to the hospital, and her father needed me to pick her up." I said and the lady looked up at me.
"You're Clary Fray?" I nodded. "Alright, Paige is in the room upstairs, first door on your right." I thanked her and proceeded upstairs and when I got there Paige was out in the hallway crying while the teacher tried to calm her down. I made my way over to them and crouched down next to her.
"Paige." I said and she looked up at me. "Hey sweetie, your daddy sent me to pick you up. We're going to go visit Emmy." She was still sobbing so I stood up and took her in my arms and said goodbye to the teacher and made my way back to my car. Not even 10 minutes later we were at the hospital. We had to wait in the waiting area for Jace to come back out, since she was still being treated by doctors. Paige curled up on my lap and rested her head on my chest. Another hour passed before I saw Jace walk out of a room. He was clearly distraught but once he saw Paige and I his mood seemed to lighten a bit. He made his way over to me and Paige instantly flew off my lap and into Jace's arms. I couldn't help but smile, it was the sweetest thing.
"Is Emmy going to be okay daddy?"
"She will be. They want to keep her here over night though for observations."
"Do you have to stay with her?" Paige asked.
"I'm going too. I just need to find a place for you to stay tonight."
"I'll take her." I said maybe a little too fast, and Jace's head snapped up to look at me.
"Really?"
"Of course. I live alone, and I'd love the company." I looked down at Paige and she was smiling from ear to ear.
"I'd really appreciate that Clary. Thank you so much."
"Of course."
"Can I see Emmy now daddy?"
"Of course you can sweetheart." Jace picks her up and leads her into the room. I'm left out in the waiting room. I sit there for a couple minutes until I realize that it's almost dinnertime, and I make my way outside and ordered a pizza. Thirty minutes later I walk back into the hospital, and knock on the door. I walk in to see Paige and Emmy sleeping in the bed together and Jace sitting on the chair.
"I thought you'd be a little hungry, so I brought dinner." I said and Jace smiles. He walked over to me and again hugs me, but I don't mind. I like the closeness.
"Thank you. You didn't have too."
"I know, but I wanted too. You've had a rough day, and the least I could do is feed you guys."
"You're doing a lot more than just feeding us, we appreciate this Clary. We've been struggling a lot lately, so this means a lot." I couldn't help but see the struggle in his eyes while he talks. He wakes Paige and Emmy up and everyone digs into dinner. When 7 rolls around visiting hours are over, and Paige gives Jace a hug and he kisses her and tells her that he loves her. Paige than goes over to Emmy to say goodbye, and I walk over to Jace.
"This is my address. When you're ready to pick Paige up, just show up. Don't worry about her staying too long or anything like that. Take your time with Emmy." I hand him a piece of paper and than look at Paige. "Are you all ready sweetie?"
"Yea, will I see you soon daddy?" She looks back at Jace.
"I'll be picking you up sometimes tomorrow baby. I promise. I just need to make sure Emmy is alright first."
"Otay. I love you."
"I love you too baby girl." I reach my hand out and Paige grabs it. We make our way to my car and to my house. When we walk in Paige looks dumbfounded.
"Wow. You live here alone?"
"Yea, it was my dads house, but he passed away a couple months ago. So I'm here to make sure everything is okay."
"Do you miss him?"
"I was never really close with my dad. I didn't really see him or hear from him often. So I don't really think I can miss someone who I never really knew."
"I would miss my daddy so much if he wasn't around. I love him so much." She says and my heart swells from cuteness.
"You're daddy does seem pretty cool."
"He's the coolest." I laugh and show her to her room. I give her a bath, give her some of my pajamas from when I was a kid and we curl up on the couch to watch a movie. Halfway through the movie I notice that she's asleep. I pick her up and tuck her into bed. I'm not to far behind her, and when I close my eyes images of a golden boy flood my dreams.
The next day went by relatively slow. Jace told me that Paige didn't have to go to school so we hung out all day. We played with toys, and read books and watched movies, it was a really fun day but it brought back a flood of painful memories and visions of the family that I could have had.
When dinnertime rolled around I was making Paige and I pasta. The doorbell rang and when I went to answer it, Jace and Emmy were standing there and I couldn't help but smile. I welcomed them in and Paige comes running to her father.
"I was just making dinner, would you like to stay?"
"Sounds good. How was Paige?"
"Absolutely delightful. She is such a sweet girl."
"I'm glad she wasn't any trouble for you. She doesn't like being away from Emmy for long periods of time."
"I completely understand." I finished making dinner and served it, and it was surprisingly easy to have dinner with Jace and his girls, they really were the cutest little things ever, and I don't think I've laughed that hard in awhile.
"Daddy!" Paige said. "Can we stay for one more night please! I want Emmy to see where I stayed last night." Jace looked at me and I gave him a little nod.
"Sure. You guys can stay for one more night." They both screamed and ran and hugged Jace's legs. Paige than dragged Emmy to the room she stayed in last night while Jace and I cleaned up dinner.
"So, I know it isn't any of my business but what happened to their mother?"
"She died during child birth. She had a lot of complications during it and in the end they couldn't save her."
"That's horrible. How did you two meet?"
"High school. We met during senior year and it just clicked. I loved her so much, and when she got pregnant I was so happy. I couldn't believe I was going to be a dad. I was so ready to have a family with her. I was devastated when she died. But I couldn't really show it, I had two girls to watch over by myself."
"What about your parents?"
"They kicked me out when they found out I got someone pregnant."
"That sucks."
"Yea, but I have Paige and Emmy, and they're my world. I don't know what I'd do without them." I nodded. "So, what about you? Have a boyfriend, fiancé, husband, or a girlfriend perhaps?" He smirked at me and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Uh, no. I was engaged at one point, a couple years ago, but we just we didn't work out. We didn't agree on our future, and he left me at the alter. It was super embarrassing."
"That is the most cowardly thing anyone can do."
"I know. I was crushed. I didn't know what happened. I went back to our apartment and found a note. He told me that he couldn't marry me because I wouldn't be his trophy wife. I wanted to work, and have kids and he just wanted me to look pretty. I was too stubborn for him. I wouldn't bend to his every will."
"Why were you together than?"
"He was a different person when we met in college. He was nice, and funny, and smart, and I fell in love with him. After we graduated his job started to become all he cared about and it changed him. I stuck around because I was so convinced that the man I fell in love with could some how come back, but I was wrong."
"That really sucks."
"Yea, but I've moved on. He ended up marrying some girl like a year after he left me. Total trophy wife. She only married him for the money, and I clearly have plenty of money of my own, so I wasn't in it for that. I truly thought he loved me."
"What did you do after that?"
"Threw myself into work. I sold our apartment and got one in the city of London, and started selling my artwork. And I've done really well. I'm really proud of myself, and honestly him leaving was probably one of the best things that ever happened to me. He was holding me back, and now I can do whatever the hell I want without worrying about pissing anyone off."
"That's always a good way to look at things." I smiled at him and he smiled back. We ended up talking for a couple more hours. After we put the girls to bed we sat on the couch and talked about so much. When he finally looked at the clock it was past midnight. "Shit, I should get going."
"You can stay here for the night."
"Thank you." I nodded and went and grabbed him a blanket and a pillow and brought it out to the living room. We said goodnight and I went to my room and went to bed, again with dreams flooded by the golden man in my living room.
Jace POV:
I woke up at like 4 in the morning to the sound of someone throwing up. I immediately think it's Emmy so I rush to the sound only to find Clary curled up on the bathroom floor. I walk over to her and brush her hair out of her face, and see how pale she is. I pick her up bridal style and make my way back to her room. I place her in her bed, get a mini trashcan and place it next to her bed and tuck her in. I notice that there is a mini couch in her room so I make myself comfortable on that in case she needs me again.
I fall asleep instantly but all too soon I feel someone shaking my shoulder. When I open my eyes I see Clary looking back at me with a smile on her face. I rub my eyes for a minute to try and wake myself up.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm good. That's just a symptom of my migraines. I got a really bad one last night. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it."
"It was no problem."
"Come on, let's go make those girls breakfast." I nodded and got up and Clary and I made our way to the kitchen. About 45 minutes later the girls ran into the kitchen and attached themselves to my legs. I picked them both up and placed them on the counter.
"How was your night girls?"
"It was great! We didn't have to share a bed! It was so cool!" Paige said and I immediately tensed. Clary didn't know the extent of our struggle and I wanted to keep it that way.
"That's so cool. Come on, Clary and I made breakfast." They cheered and I got them off the counter and they made their way over to the table. Breakfast was just like dinner was yesterday, easy and comfortable. Everything with Clary seemed to be. "Alright girls, say goodbye to Clary, we have to head home."
"Do we have to eat soup again for dinner daddy?"
"I'll try and get us a good dinner tonight girls. But I can't promise it'll be as amazing as Clary's pancakes." The girls went to get their things and I turned to face Clary. "Thank you again for this. It means a lot."
"No problem." She smiled and I couldn't help but love her smile. Even though it has only been a couple days, I really care for her and I was excited to see where things went.
Time Jump-Two Months Later
Clary POV:
It was 1 am and I was still up working on a painting. I couldn't get it right no matter how many times I tried to paint it. It was getting beyond frustrating. I was just about to break the paintbrush in my hand when the doorbell rang. I was insanely confused because who shows up at someone's doorstep at 1 am, but when I got up to answer it I was shocked. Jace stood there with Emmy in his arms and Paige at his side looking incredibly broken, and cold. I ushered them inside.
"Can I get you anything? Hot chocolate? Coffee? Blankets?"
"Hot chocolate would be great for the girls. And I'd love coffee." I nodded and went to the kitchen to make their drinks. The girls were sitting at the table drinking their hot chocolate and Jace and I were drinking coffee. When they were done they were literally falling asleep at the table. Jace and I laughed and we each picked one up and tucked them in to bed. When we got back to the kitchen, Jace looked absolutely defeated. I walked over and wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a hug. He immediately wrapped his arms around my waist, after a few minutes we broke apart but he was still quiet. I took his hand and walked him to my room. We sat on my bed for a few more minutes before he spoke.
"I'm a terrible father." He said and I was shocked.
"No you aren't."
"I am though. We lost our apartment. I've been struggling with rent and they showed up tonight and gave us an hour before we had to leave. What kind of father lets that happen to his family?"
"Jace, you aren't a terrible father. Those girls are angels and they adore you." He was silent for a minute before he continued.
"I didn't know anywhere else to go that would take us in."
"You can stay here as long as you want." I smiled and Jace automatically pulled me into a hug. This hug was different though, this hug was intimate, and sweet, and extremely long. When he finally pulled back our eyes locked for a while until his eyes flickered down to my lips. I immediately bit my lower lip and before I knew it his lips were on mine. I don't even know how to begin to describe this kiss except for electric. After a couple minutes we broke apart and smiled at each other.
"I can try and pay you rent, and I'll start looking for places to stay tomorrow." He said and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Just keep kissing me like that, and I'll be satisfied with your payment." I smiled and he smiled before his lips were back on mine.
When I woke up the next morning there were a pair of strong arms around me. When I looked back and saw Jace I couldn't help but smile. Last night actually happened, and I was so happy. I got out of bed and went to make breakfast, 15 minutes later Jace joined me, and that 25 minutes later the girls were awake. We ate breakfast rather quickly until Jace freaked.
"Shit, you guys are going to be late for school."
"There is an extra car in the garage you can use." I said while cleaning up.
"Really?"
"Yea, I trust you." I smiled and Jace came over to me and gave me a quick peck on the lips, which caused his girls to giggle.
"Thank you for everything Clary." Jace ushered the girls into their temporary room and changed them and than rushed out the door, and all I could think was how I could really get used to this.
Time Jump-Three Months Later
Clary POV:
Jace and the girls had been staying with me for the past three months and it was actually really wonderful. It was late and Jace and I were sleeping when I heard the door to my room open. I looked up and saw Emmy standing there.
"Are you okay sweetie?" I asked and she shook her head. I motioned for her to come over and I picked her up and put her on the bed.
"Hey baby girl, what are you doing awake?" Jace asked in his really sexy sleepy voice.
"I had a bad dream daddy."
"It's okay sweetheart, it was just a dream."
"But it was scary." She had and curled into Jace's side.
"Would it help if your daddy and I held you?" I asked and she nodded.
"Yes mommy." I was momentarily stunned, I never expected her to say that.
"Emmy, Clary isn't your mother." Jace said and I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed that I wasn't.
"But she acts like a mommy."
"Yes, but as of right now Clary isn't your mommy. Maybe one day you'll get one, but for right now all you have is me."
"I wish I had a mommy." Emmy said and it just broke my heart.
"Maybe one day I'll be the babe." I said and her eyes lit up, and so did Jace's.
"Really?" She asked all excited.
"Yea." I smiled at Jace. "I'd be honored. Now, why don't you go to sleep, it's late." I kissed her forehead and than Jace did the same thing. She was asleep in no time, and I couldn't help but smile at Jace.
"I love you." He blurted out and I couldn't help but smile and laugh.
"I love you too." I said back and it felt so right that I couldn't even begin to describe the happiness running through my body.
Time Jump-Two Years Later
Jace POV:
The past two years have been absolutely amazing. Clary and I got married six months ago, and she was currently in the process of adopting Paige and Emmy. After we got married they didn't even hesitate to call her mommy. It was like she was sent to be the mother of my girls and I couldn't pick a better person for the job. She's so caring, and loving, and special. When we moved into her house she let the girls decorate their room however they wanted, and she just completely welcomed us with open arms and I don't think that I could have made it where we are today without her.
"Come on girls! You're going to be late for school!" Clary yells and I couldn't help but laugh. She had really taken over the roll of the mother really quickly, and Paige and Emmy were so polite to her and really listened.
"Coming mom!" Emmy yelled and made her way into the kitchen. Honestly, every single time one of them called Clary mom it made my heart flutter. Their relationship was truly amazing, and such an easy thing to build. Clary loved my girls like they were her own, and sometimes that's really hard to find. Emmy walked into the kitchen and gave Clary and quick kiss, followed by Paige. When they had their jackets on and their backpacks in hand I gave Clary my quick kiss.
"I'll be back later babe."
"Alright, I love you all." She called.
"We love you too!" We all said in unison and it just made everything even more perfect.
Time Jump-One Year Later
Clary POV:
I was due in a month and I just still couldn't get over the fact that I was having a baby. I had always wanted a family, and when it didn't work out the first time, I thought it never would. I never thought I'd find that kind of love again, but I was so wrong. I never even knew what it felt like to be in love until I met Jace. I had fallen in love with is drive, and his incredible relationship with his girls, and with his charm, and his personality. Everything just made me love him even more, and I was so thrilled that I got to bring a child into this world that was a piece of each of us. I was sitting at home reading some magazine when I heard the door open. I heard the three sets of footsteps but after a minute I realized there were four, when I turned around I couldn't believe my eyes. Before I could say anything, Jace spoke.
"This man says he knows you Clare." I nod. And Jace understands. "Hey girls, why don't you go to your room and start your homework, we have to talk out here privately."
"Okay dad." Emmy says and her and Paige leave us alone.
"So, who is this?" Jace asked.
"This is the man who left me at the alter." I said and Jace instantly stiffened. "What are you doing here? How the hell did you even find me?"
"I searched for you for years, but I didn't realize that your last name wasn't really Fray, once I figured it out, I just really needed to see you." He said and I got up off the couch and his eyes immediately narrowed onto my belly. "Oh, I see you….wow." He said but I didn't understand why he was so flustered. We broke up almost 6 years ago.
"What do you want?" I said a little annoyed now as I crossed my arms over my chest.
"I wanted to apologize. I was a complete asshole to you all those years ago. I was being selfish, and I completely forgot about what we had and was focused way too much on myself."
"It's been almost 6 years, why now?"
"I told you. It took me awhile to find you, but it also took me two years of being married to that awful woman to realize that I threw away an amazing woman. I was an idiot, and I thought that maybe I still had a chance." His eyes went back to my belly. "I clearly see it's too late."
"It was too late the day you left me at the alter. I was devastated. I wanted to marry you, and have a family with you. I wanted us to have a future together, but you threw it all away. Even if I wasn't married now, I still wouldn't have given you a chance. You broke my heart Sebastian. I wouldn't have been able to forgive you." I look at him, and I start to rub my belly and I instantly start relaxing. "Look, I forgive you now Sebastian. I do. I'm so over it now, I have an amazing husband, and two beautiful daughters, and one on the way, and I'm so happy. And I have to thank you for that because if you didn't leave me we might be married right now, and looking back at our relationship now, we weren't right for each other. We wouldn't have worked, and I think you know that deep down inside. So I appreciate your apology and I accept it. But I really don't want to hear from you again. Go back to London, and find a good girl, who loves you, and doesn't want your money. You deserve to be happy. You really do."
"I appreciate that Clary, and I'm so sorry I messed everything up. I truly never meant to hurt you the way I did. I wish you the best of luck with everything, and I'm glad you found what you were always looking for."
"Thank you. Jace, can you show him out. I need to sit down." He laughed and kissed me on the cheek before escorting Sebastian out. While he was gone Emmy and Paige made their way over to me.
"Who was that mom?" Paige asks.
"I used to date that guy. We were actually going to get married."
"What happened?" Emmy asked.
"He left me at the alter."
"Wow." They both said in unison, and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Yea, it sucked, but if he didn't do that I wouldn't have you or daddy in my life or I wouldn't be having your little brother, and I couldn't even imagine life without you girls or your dad. It hurt back than, but I couldn't be happier where I am now."
"And we couldn't be happier that you came into our lives either." Jace said from behind us, and I couldn't help but smile. He made his way over to us and sat down next to me while Paige curled into his side and Emmy curled into mine. "I love you girls. You're the three best things that have ever happened to me."
"We love you too daddy." Emmy and Paige said at the same time.
"I love you too." I said and Jace leaned in and gave me a kiss. We broke apart when Emmy and Paige started to fake gag and we couldn't help but laugh. This was what I planned my future to look like, and I'm so glad everything turned out the way it did.
Time Jump-One Month Later
Clary POV:
I was currently sitting in the hospital screaming my lips off while giving birth to my son and it was the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. I couldn't believe the amount of energy it took to push a baby out, but I was not having fun. And it didn't help that Jace was freaking out. He was having flashbacks of when the twins were born and he couldn't get it out of his head that he might lose me as well. The doctor had reassured him a bunch of times that I was perfectly healthy but he didn't seem to believe it.
After another hour of pushing my son was finally in the world and crying his eyes out. But I couldn't blame him because I was crying as well. They brought him over and I couldn't help but stare at this beautiful baby boy and that Jace and I had created. Jace kissed me on the head and that said he was going to get the girls. 5 minutes later Emmy and Paige were in the room looking at their baby brother.
"What's his name?"
"Ryan Joseph Herondale." I said and I looked at Jace and couldn't help but feel so happy, and content.
"He's so cute." Paige said.
"He's so tiny." Emmy said.
"Yes he is, but he's perfect." Jace said and I looked around the room and I couldn't believe that this was my life and that I had an amazing husband and two amazing daughters. Everything just seemed so perfect, and I couldn't be more excited for the future. I knew that it would be bright with this family.

I just want to let you all know this now. In any of my stories Jace will most likely always have girls first if he has children. In my mind I always picture him having a little girl that just has him wrapped around his little finger! He will have a son every now and than but it will most likely always be a girl! :)
