Thirty Third One Shot:
Heaven Sent
Jace POV:
"Alright boys, we have some things to discuss." Izzy says as we all sit around the living room.
"We don't have anything scheduled for months, why are we having this meeting?" I ask and she rolls her eyes.
"Something came up." She said as she handed us a file. "The boys name is Tyler Fray, he's 8 years old and his Make A Wish is to meet the band." Izzy said and I looked through the file. "He lives here so traveling isn't an issue. He was only 3 when you guys formed, but according to his mother he listens to your music during chemo, and he has to listen to "The Great Divide" every night before bed. I've been talking to Make A Wish for about two weeks, and next week is his off week for chemo, so that would be the best time to go visit him. So what do you all think?"
"I think we should make a boys dream come true." I said and the band agrees.
"Great. I'll call them back, and let them know." Izzy said as she exited the room. I continued to look through the file to get to know the boy. Seemed like a sad story, and I hope meeting us makes him happy.
Clary POV:
"Hey Ty, there are some people here to talk to you." I said as Tyler opened his eyes. He sat up a little before three people entered the room.
"Hello Tyler, we're from Make A Wish, and we just got off the phone with the manager of Heaven Sent, and they are excited to make your wish come true." They said I could see some joy come back into his eyes. "They will be here next week. Tuesday, 2 o'clock." They said.
"Thank you so much." I said and they nodded and left. "Did you hear that baby? You get your wish!" I said and I walked over to his bed and sat down and gave him a kiss.
"I have to look my best for them." He said and I laughed.
"Well, since you had chemo today, you should be good to go by Tuesday." I said and he looked so excited. I loved seeing him like this, and I wish it would last.
Time Jump - Next Week
Jace POV:
Today was the day we were meeting the little boy and I was actually pretty excited. Being famous was fun, but doing stuff like this, making kids dreams come true was one of the most rewarding things in the world.
We showed up to the hospital and were greeted by three people at the entrance.
"Welcome Heaven Sent. Thank you for coming today. I know it means a lot to Tyler." The one woman said and we nodded. "Follow me." She said and we all followed. Walking trough those halls was really depressing. There were so many kids and I knew that it was for a horrible reason. We stopped at a room and they turned to face us.
"We were hoping that since his last round of chemo was a week ago he'd be feeling extra good today, but he's been extra tired lately." The man said and we nodded. They motioned towards the door and Izzy took charge. She knocked and we heard a faint come in and Izzy opened the door. We walked in and saw a beautiful redhead sitting next to the bed.
"Hi, I'm Izzy, and I'm the manager of Heaven Sent."
"I'm Clary, and this is my son Tyler. I can't thank you enough for coming down to meet him." Clary said and I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
"Let me introduce you to the rest of the band. Our drummer is Sebastian, lead guitarist is Alec, bass is Simon and the singer is Jace." Izzy said and we all smiled at her.
"Let me just wake him up. He was so excited he barely slept last night." Clary said as she walked over to her son. "Ty, you gotta wake up baby. The band is here." She said and his eyes fluttered opened.
"Mommy?"
"Yea baby, I'm here." She said as she handed him a cut of water. He took a couple sips before sitting up. He looked around the room and when his eyes land on us they widened.
"You actually came." He said and I made my way over to the bed and sat down.
"Of course we did buddy. I'm Jace, and this is the band." I said and gestured towards the guys.
"And Izzy, don't forget Izzy." He said and Izzy laughed.
"I am forgotten far too often aren't I?" Izzy said and Tyler laughed.
"I think you're the glue of the band!" He said and Izzy made her way over to him.
"You're my new favorite person, you know that?" Izzy said and he giggled again.
"I gave mommy a quiz before you got here. She isn't a fan, but because of me she knows all your songs." He says and I look at her and she is blushing.
"It's kinda hard to not know their music when we listen to it all the time babe." Clary said and smiled at her son.
"Did you change her mind?" I ask and he shakes his head.
"She doesn't have a good taste in music."
"Hey!" Clary said as she tickled his sides. "I resent that."
"You do though mommy. Who listens to country music anymore?" Tyler said and we all laughed.
"I was born and raised in Texas babe, it's in my blood to listen to country music." She said and I laughed.
"So, is he allowed out of here today?" Izzy asked Clary.
"He should be allowed out for a couple hours. It will completely drain him, but he's excited."
"Great. Why don't we go to a park and eat lunch?" Izzy suggested and Clary smiled.
"That would be great." Clary said and we got everything ready.
We got the park and Izzy set out a blanket and Clary settled Tyler on it. We ate lunch and got to know more about what Tyler likes, and his favorite songs. Clary and I got up to throw away the trash but when we were walking back was lingered.
"So, can I ask you a personal question?" I ask and she stops.
"Sure."
"Where is his father?" I ask and she sighs.
"Bailed when he got sick."
"When did he get sick?"
"When he was five."
"And he's 8 now?" She nods. "I'm really sorry."
"Thanks. It's tough. I basically live at the hospital."
"That must be really horrible."
"I just want to be close to him." She says and I nod. We make our way back to the blanket and I pull out my guitar and hand it to Tyler.
"Want to learn?" I ask and he nods. We spent an hour playing the guitar and it was a lot of fun. I could tell that Clary was happy that Tyler was having just a good time. It was nice to be able to make someone's dreams come true. We all got back to the hospital and for some reason I just didn't want to see Tyler once, and not follow up. The band walked out of the room, and Tyler was asleep so I took the opportunity to talk to Clary. "Hey, I was wondering if I could come back with the band and visit Tyler again?"
"Really?"
"Yea. We all had a really good time, and I'd love to keep teaching him how to play."
"I think he would love that." She said and I smiled.
"Here's my number. We're going on tour next month, and one show is in New York, so if he's having a good day, maybe he could come."
"I'll let you know. Thank you. I know this will mean a lot to Tyler."
"Tell Tyler that we'll be in touch, and we hope he kicks cancers ass." I said and she laughed. "Or phrase it differently." I said and she laughed again.
"Thanks again. Good luck on your tour." I smiled and nodded. I made my way outside where the band was waiting.
"What took you so long?"
"I wanted to ask Clary if it was okay if we visited Tyler again."
"Cool. I liked hanging out with him." Simon said and we all agreed.
"I think Jace did it so he could see Clary again." Izzy smirked and I laughed. "Told you."
"I enjoyed hanging out with Tyler and teaching him how to play. And I also like hanging out with Clary."
"There is always two sides to everything you do." Alec said and I shook my head. We got into the van and headed back to the house and I was excited to see Tyler and Clary again.
Time Jump - One Year Later
Clary POV:
Tyler has been going down hill lately. The band has been around a lot and I know it lifted his spirits but the cancer was getting worse and I just I couldn't handle it. I was falling asleep when the doctor came in and asked me to step out into the hallway.
"Please be good news doc." I said and he gave me a sad smile.
"I'm afraid he only has a couple more months Clary." He said and my heart sank.
"No." I said and I started crying. "He's only 9."
"I'm sorry Clary. He isn't responding to treatment and his organs are shutting down."
"There has to be another way."
"We've exhausted all of the treatment options Clary. I'm sorry. My advice is to take him home, spend his last couple months enjoying your time together." He said and I lost it. I sunk down on the floor in the hallways crying. I was losing my baby.
Time Jump - One Month Later
Jace POV:
"Have you heard from Clary recently?" Izzy asked and I shook my head.
"We talked last month but she's not answering any of my texts or my calls."
"Have you tried visiting the hospital?"
"I didn't want to intrude." I said and Izzy laughed.
"The worst she can say is come back later." Izzy said and I nodded.
"I guess you're right." I said and I got up. "I'll see you later."
I drove to the hospital and walked right to Tyler's room, but when I opened the door nobody was in there. I was confused so I walked up to the nurses station.
"Excuse me, where is Tyler Fray?"
"He was released a month ago." The nurse said and I practically ran out of the hospital. But I had no idea where she lived. I pulled out my phone and called her but she didn't pick up. I went through our conversations and she said something about living in an apparently in Brooklyn right across my Central Park so that's where I headed.
When I got to a apartment building I took a chance and went in to the front desk. There was a woman who worked there and I decided the best way to get information was to flirt. I walked up and her eyes widened.
"Hello, I was wondering if you could tell me if a Clary Fray lives here?"
"She lives on the third floor." She stuttered.
"What apartment?"
"5." She said and I winked and walked away. I went up the stairs not wanting to wait for the elevator. I got to her door and knocked. A minute later it opened.
"What are you doing here?" She asks and I noticed her eyes were puffy.
"You haven't been answering my calls or texts. I went to the hospital and they said Tyler was released. How's he doing?" I ask and she starts crying. "No."
"He has about three more months." She cried and I pulled her into a hug. I don't know how long we stood there but at one point she almost fell so I picked her up and walked her over to her couch. Soon I realize she's asleep. I gently get up and lay her down and put a blanket over her. I realize that it's almost 6, so I decided I was going to make her dinner. I walk into the kitchen and check her pantry and fridge, and found some chicken and noodles and some broccoli, and made that. An hour later it was ready. I walked out into the living room and crouched down and pressed a kiss against Clary's forehead and her eyes started to flutter.
"You stayed?" She asked.
"Yea, and I made dinner."
"Are you an angel?" She laughed and I stood up.
"To some." I smirked and she got up and we went into the kitchen. We ate dinner and had some small talk. I cleaned up and found Clary sitting in the living room. I walked over and sat next to her. "How are you?"
"Completely broken." She answers and I see the tears falling. I pulled her into my side and she starts crying again.
"Is that why you've been avoiding my calls?" She nods.
"I didn't know how to tell you, and I didn't want to accept it."
"Is he allowed outside?" She nods. "Good." I stood up and she looked confused. "I have to go, but I'll call you in a couple days. Pick up." I said and she laughed. I kissed her forehead and than left. I raced home and found the band in the living room.
"Where the hell have you been?" Alec yelled and Izzy sat him back down.
"Did you talk to Clary?"
"Yea. I have bad news." I said and I stood in front of the band. "The doctors gave Tyler a couple more months." I said and Izzy started crying and the band looked shocked. "I want to put on a concert. Right in Central Park, dedicated to him. He can come on stage and play with us, and everything will be dedicated to Tyler."
"I think that's great." Alec said. He walked over to me. "How's Clary?"
"Broken. She cried herself to sleep earlier, and she was crying when I left."
"I can't even imagine." Alec said and I nodded.
"I want to plan this as fast as possible." I said and I turned towards Izzy. "How fast can this be planned?"
"I will have everything organized in one week."
"Perfect." I said and we all started planning. This was going to be the best concert we've ever done, and I was super excited, but the hurt wasn't gone. I was complete devastated for Clary, and I hope this helps.
Time Jump - One Week Later
Jace POV:
I got to Clary's apartment and knocked and she answered. I walked in kissed her forehead and saw Tyler sitting on the couch. I waked over to him and sat on the coffee table.
"What up my man? You ready for today?"
"What are we doing?" He asks excitedly.
"It's a surprise." I said and he smiled. I picked him up and I grabbed Clary's hand and we walked out of her building. She started towards the parking lot when I pulled her away from it.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see." I said. We crossed the street, and once we got farther into the park I heard Clary gasp.
"What is this?"
"This is Tyler Frays own personal concert. It's completely dedicated to him." I said and Clary started crying.
"Really?" I heard Tyler said and I smiled.
"Yea buddy. And we were hoping you came up and played a song with us?"
"Really?" I nod and he got so happy. We walked backstage and I placed Tyler in a wheelchair, and Izzy gave him a tour. I took Clary to the back room that Tyler could use in case he got tired, or hungry, or anything. When I turned around to talk to her she was crying.
"What's wrong?" I ask as I wipe the tears.
"I can't believe you did all this for Tyler." She said and I pulled her into a hug.
"I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through, but I wanted to do this because we love Tyler. The band has gotten so close to him, and this is hurting us too." I said and I felt her nod. She pulled back and I decided to take a chance. I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers and after a second she started kissing me back. This felt so nice, and right. There was so much passion, and need. When we pulled apart I couldn't help but smile. "Let's go put on the best show in the world." I said and she smiled and nodded.
The show went so well. Tyler was amazing and the crowd loved him. He played a couple songs and sang with me. I kept seeing Clary off to the side and she looked so happy. I loved making her happy, and I loved seeing Tyler live his dream. We played three more songs after Tyler got off stage and when I went to the back room, he was fast asleep on the couch. Clary was sleeping in the chair. I walked over and pressed my lips to hers and she woke up.
"Hi." She said and I smiled.
"Hey. Did he have a good time?"
"He only stopped talking because he fell asleep." She said and we laughed. I picked him up and put my free arm around Clary and we started walking out when we ran into the rest of the band. "Hey guys. I want to thank you for doing this for Tyler. It meant everything to him."
"Of course, but it was all Jace's idea. He came up with it, pitched the idea, and we agreed." Alec said.
"Still, it mean the world to him. You guys are his idols and." She got choked up and I pulled her closer to me. "And I only have so much time left with him, and the fact that you guys took this time to make his last couple months this memorable means everything to me." Izzy came over and gave Clary a hug.
"We were more than happy to do this Clary." Izzy said. "You have all our thoughts and prays."
"Thank you." She choked out.
"I'm going to take these two back to their place. I'll see you guys later." I said and they all nodded and I walked Clary and Tyler back to her apartment. I put Tyler in his room and when I shut the door Clary was standing there. I walked over and she slammed her lips into mine. I wasn't complaining, but it was unexpected. We stumbled back into her room and landed on her bed. "Are you sure?" I ask and she smiled.
"Absolutely." She said and I didn't need anymore. I kissed her like I was going to never see her again, and we were going on tour this weekend and I wasn't going to see her, so this was our last night together for awhile and I planned to make it memorable.
Time Jump - Two Months Later
Jace POV:
It was 6 am and my phone was buzzing like crazy. We were all stuffed into a tiny hotel room in the middle of nowhere Tennessee, and I tried to ignore it. But it kept going off.
"Answer your god damn phone Jace." I heard Sebastian yell. I grunted and grabbed my phone.
"What?" I yelled into the phone.
"Jace?" I heard crying and I looked at the caller and it was Clary.
"Clary? What's wrong?"
"Jace, he's gone." She cried and my eyes started to water.
"What happened?" I ask and now everyone was waking up.
"He wanted me to sleep with him last night, and I woke up and he was ice cold. I called 911, and he was already gone. They said he died four hours ago. I was sleeping with my dead son. He wanted to sleep with me because he knew he was going to die." She started sobbing and I started packing my things.
"I'll be right there." I said and I hung up.
"Jace, what's going on?" Izzy asked clearly worried.
"Tyler died last night." I said and Izzy almost fell but Simon caught her. The band started packing everything up. "We'll cancel the rest of the tour when we get back, but I need to be there for Clary." I said and everyone agreed. We got into our bus and headed home. I finally caught my breath and finally let the emotions hit me.
Clary POV:
After I hung up with Jace I got back in bed with my son. I couldn't leave him. The hospital had been notified and when the funeral home came I refused to leaved. I wasn't letting go. I needed Tyler. He was my baby, my world, and I felt like I had just lost who I was. I was slowly dying and I just needed my baby back.
Jace POV:
Fifteen hours later and the bus finally pulled up to Clary's building. The whole band wanted to be there for Clary, and I certainly wasn't going to tell them no. We made it up to her building and opened the door to see some strange men.
"Who are you? Where is Clary?" I asked.
"She won't let us take her son." The one man said and I started towards Tyler's room. I knew the bad was following me but I didn't care. I needed to see Clary. When I opened the door I saw Clary holding Tyler and crying. I walked over and kneeled down beside her.
"Clary, you need to let him go." I said.
"No. he's my baby. I can't." She cried and I knew this was going to be tough, and she might hate me but I had too. I scooped her up and she started fighting me. "I can't leave him. I can't leave my baby." She cried out and I started leaving the room. "Please come back. Don't leave me Tyler. Please." She was yelled and it took everything I my not to cry. I took her across the hall and into her room. She was crying hysterically and I sat down, placed her on my lap and held her while she cried. Fifteen minutes later she was out. I laid her down, draped the covers over her and kissed her on the forehead. I walked out of her room and into the living room. Tyler was in a body bag and I had to take a deep breath. The band was sitting in the living room. I went over and joined them on the couch.
"How is she?" Izzy asked.
"Asleep." Was all I could say.
"You're in love with her. Aren't you?" Izzy asks and I just nod. "We can leave you two alone for a couple days if you want."
"I think it'll be good for her to see you all." I said and they nodded. "Order whatever, I'll pay for it."
"Don't be ridiculous. Go in there and comfort her, we'll let you know when food gets here." I gave Izzy a quick kiss on the cheek and went back into Clary's room. I slid in behind her and pulled her close. I didn't care what else happened, I was going to be here for her no matter what.
Time Jump - Later That Night
Clary POV:
I woke up and felt arms wrapped around my torso. When I sat up I saw that Jace was laying in bed with me. I was really confused until the events came flooding back. Tyler was gone, and he was never coming back. I looked at the clock and noticed it was almost 4 am. I slipped out of bed and went into the living room to see the whole band sleeping on the couches and the floor. I was really confused. I started making a pot of coffee when I heard footsteps. I turned around and saw Jace standing at the counter.
"You're here." I said and he smiled.
"I had to be with you." He said and I started crying again. He opened his arms and I went running to him.
"He's gone." I said into his shirt and he rubbed my back.
"I know. We're all here for you." He whispered in my ear and I nodded. When I pulled away I saw the whole band standing behind him.
"We're so sorry about Tyler." Izzy said and I walked over and gave her a hug.
"Thank you for being here guys. It means a lot." I said and they all nodded. I made a enough coffee for everyone. We all took a seat in the living room and it was incredibly quiet. Everything was very overwhelming and I started panicking.
"Clary? What's happening?" I heard Jace say.
"I can't stay here." I said and they all looked confused. "This was Tyler and I's home. I can't stay here without him." I said and Jace grabbed my hand and pulled me onto his lap.
"You can stay with us." He said and I looked around and they all smiled.
"I don't want to put you out." I said and they all let out a low laugh.
"Our house is big enough for you. Only if you want though." Jace said and I pressed my lips to him.
"Thank you." Was all I could say.
"Pack whatever you need, and we'll leave when you're ready." He said and I nodded. I finished my coffee, went into my room and packed my clothes. I walked out, took a deep breath, went into Tyler's room, grabbed his favorite stuffed animal and went back into the living room.
"Can we please leave? I can't be here anymore." I said and Jace smiled, grabbed my bag, put his free arm around my shoulders and we walked out of my apartment. I don't think I could ever step foot back into this house. It would never be the same.
Time Jump - One Week Later
Jace POV:
Today was the day of Tyler's funeral and it wasn't going to be big. Clary's parents and brother were coming, the band was, my parents wanted to come, and I had called Tyler's father, but who knows if he was going to show. I just kept getting his voicemail.
We arrived at the cemetery, and Clary didn't let go of my hand the whole time. She was completely broken, and I was surprised she even got out of bed this morning. The pastor finished and asked if anyone wanted to say a few words. I took a deep breath and cleared my throat.
"I met Tyler almost two years ago. His wish was to meet my band, Heaven Sent. We showed up at the hospital and we all really fell in love with this little boy. When the time came to leave, I didn't want too, and I asked Clary if we could keep in touch. She said yes and that's how Heaven Sent and Tyler became friends." I said and I pulled Clary into my side. "Tyler was a rare child. He was always smiling, despite how he was feeling. He was funny, and kind, and compassionate. Rare traits to find in an 8 year old boy, but I can only imagine that he learned it all from Clary." I said and I smiled down at her. "I had gotten especially close to Tyler because I was meeting with him twice as often to give him guitar lessons, and he was a natural. He could've been great." I felt Clary stiffen. "Tyler will be missed immensely by Clary, the band, his grandparents, and me. He didn't deserve the pain he endured, or the short life he was given, but Tyler made sure every day counted, and I know that he will forever live on in our hearts, our minds, and Heaven Sent's music. We'll play for him, and cherish the time we had with him." I finished and Clary was full on sobbing. I pulled her into a hug and the service was over. We all made our way back to my house to mourn and eat. Clary wanted to be alone so she went to our bedroom and locked the door. I respected her feelings, and took a seat with everyone else in the living room.
"What you said today was very moving." Clary's mom said. "It means a lot that you have been here for her. Living so far away is really hard."
"I'd do anything for her." I said and she got up and gave me a hug.
"Just promise to take care of my baby. Don't be a jackass like Tyler's father."
"I would never do anything to hurt her. I love her." I said and she nodded.
A couple hours later everyone was getting ready to leave. Clary was still locked up in our room, and her parents weren't leaving until tomorrow so they were going to say their goodbyes then. After I cleaned up I went to my room and knocked on the door. I tried the knob and it was unlocked so I made my way inside. Clary was in one of my shirts, clinging to Tyler's stuffed animal, and crying. I walked over and got into bed, and pulled her close.
"I love you Clary, and we're going to get through this." I said and she sat up.
"You love me?" She asked through sobs. I wiped her tears away and smiled.
"I love you so much." I said and for the first time in a week, I got a real smile.
"I love you too. I don't know what I'd do without you." She said and I pulled her onto my lap.
"I'll always be here for you." I said and she pressed her lips to mine. We laid together like the for the rest of the night. I was making sure to never let Clary go, and to help her through whatever she needed.
Time Jump - One Year Later
Clary POV:
It's been a year since Tyler's passing and it still hurt every single day. Jace had been absolutely amazing this past year. I lived with the band, and they had really shown me so much love, and patience, and I couldn't even imagine going through this without them. They were my rock, and because of them I wake up every day, and live.
I was visiting the cemetery today with Jace and I was nervous. I had never actually gone to his grave. We always made it to the cemetery, but I never got any closer. I couldn't, but it being the year anniversary, I needed too, and having Jace with me was making everything a lot more bearable.
When we got to his grave, Jace set down a blanket, while I placed the flowers on top of the headstone. I took a seat next to Jace and cuddled into his side. We sat there in silence for a while before I broke it.
"I miss him." I said and Jace kissed the top of my head.
"I miss him too." He said and I cuddled even closer. Having him by my side was absolutely everything to me, and I know it took some time, but I knew everything would be okay.
We were sitting in silence enjoying each other's company and visiting Tyler when we heard leaves crunching behind us. When I turned around I couldn't believe who it was. I stood up and Jace followed.
"What are you doing here?" I almost yelled.
"I came to visit my son."
"Really? Where the hell were you for the four years he was going through treatment? Or when he died? Why the hell weren't you at his funeral?" I asked getting angrier and angrier.
"I couldn't come." He said and I laughed.
"Couldn't? Or didn't want to?"
"Listen Clary." He started but I cut him off.
"No, you listen Evan. You abandoned your son and your girlfriend in a time of need. You left us to deal with this. You know how many times I had to explain to Tyler that you weren't coming back? That you didn't want him anymore? That you didn't care? He asked for you for an entire year before he stopped. Do you know how much that hurt me Evan?"
"I couldn't see him like that."
"And you think I could? I saw him at his absolute worst, and so did Jace. Jace, who only knew my son for two years was there more than you were. He helped me through the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. That was supposed to be you. We were a family." I yelled. Jace packed up the blanket and I shook my head. "I can't stop you from visiting, but I'm disappointed in you Evan. You didn't deserve that little boy." I said and Jace and I walked away. We got in the car and I finally took a deep breath.
"Are you okay?"
"I will be. I needed to let that all out." I said and he leaned over and pressed his lips to mine.
"I love you."
"I love you too." I said and he started the car. He grabbed my hand and didn't let it go the whole ride.
Time Jump – Six Months Later
Jace POV:
Tonight was the night that I was going to propose to Clary and I was a nervous wreck. I knew she was going to say yes, but it was still scary to ask. I had never really had any serious relationship before Clary. Being famous, you always find the ones who want you for all the wrong reasons, but Clary was different, and I was completely in love with her.
I gave instructions to Izzy on what to dress Clary in and where to meet me. I was currently sitting at our table trying anything and everything to calm myself down. I wanted to marry her so bad, and I knew that once I asked, and once she accepted, all my nerves would go away and we could focus on celebrating. I heard the clicking of heels, and when Clary appeared in front of me i was speechless. She looked absolutely stunning. I stood up and she walked over to me. I couldn't help myself, I pulled her into a deep kiss before even saying anything.
"Hi." She said once we broke apart and I smiled.
"Hi." I said back. I pulled out her chair and she took a seat. We ordered our food, and had an amazing dinner. Clary was always able to make me smile and laugh. No matter how nervous I was, when I was around Clary, I felt nothing but peace, and happiness. When dessert rolled around, it was my time. I reached across the table and took one of her hands in mine.
"Why do you look so nervous Jace?" She said with a smiled and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Because I am." I said and she looked confused. "I love you more than I've ever loved anyone in the world. You mean absolutely everything to me. We've been through hell together, and we came out a little broken, but together, and I know that we can make it through anything and everything, as long as we're together." I said and her eyes started to water. I took out the velvet box and set it in front of her. "I don't want to spend another day without you by my side as my wife." I said and she started crying. "Will you marry me?"
She didn't say anything at first. She opened the box and took one look at the ring and her eyes widened. She looked at the ring and at me for a couple minutes before a smiled spread across her face.
"Hell yes I'll marry you." She said and I stood up, and pulled her up to me. I slid the ring on her finger and picked her up into a hug. When I put her down and I tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "When?"
"We just got engaged." I said as I laughed.
"I don't want to drag it out." She said and I couldn't agree more.
"We can get the band together, call your parents, have them here by Monday and get married at the courthouse." I said and she was smiling and nodding.
"That sounds perfect." She said as she pressed her lips to mine. Dessert came out and we took our seats again, but Clary couldn't stop looking at her ring, and I couldn't get the smile off my face. I was going to enjoy being married to Clary.
Time Jump – 11 Months Later
Clary POV:
I was about a week away from my due date, and I was so excited to be bringing another child into this world. Of course part of me was incredibly sad, knowing that Tyler would never meet his sibling, but the other part of me, was incredibly happy to be able to have this child with Jace, and I couldn't wait to raise him or her with Jace.
I was sitting on the couch alone today waiting for the band to get back from rehearsal. They have been working on a new album and it's been taking up so much time, but I was incredibly proud of them. I had ordered a pizza, and was waiting for it to be delivered when I felt a sharp pain. Fuck. And of course the doorbell rings at the same moment. I waddle over to the door and there is my pizza.
"Delivery for Clary Herondale?" He says and I nod.
"I will give you 200 dollars if you drive me to the hospital." I said and he looked confused. "I'm in labor."
"Oh god." He said and I laughed.
"Please, my husband will give you free tickets to his next concert, or whatever you want. Backstage passes, meet and greet, whatever please just get me to the hospital." I said as another pain ripped through me. He nodded, and I grabbed my bag, my phone, and my coat and headed out the door. When I was in the car, I immediately dialed Jace.
"Hey babe, it's not really a good time." He said and I didn't want to worry him, but another contraction hit and I let out a scream. "Clary, what's wrong?"
"How far away are we?" I asked the delivery boy.
"We should be there in 5-10 minutes." He said panicked.
"Who is that?" I heard Jace say rather aggressively.
"I'm in labor." I said. "I ordered a pizza, and right when it got to the house my water broke, and the delivery boy is currently driving me to the hospital."
"We'll be right there." I heard Jace say.
"Hurry." I said and I hung up. "Step on it!" I yelled and he started driving faster, I felt bad but I need to be at the hospital ASAP.
Jace POV:
"What was that Jace?" Izzy asked as I grabbed my things.
"Clary is in labor, and currently rushing to the hospital."
"How?"
"Pizza delivery boy." I said and they all looked confused. "I don't really know myself, but I need to get there." I said and everyone nodded and we headed towards the hospital. We got there and I ran to the nurses station. "Clarissa Herondale?"
"She is currently in delivery." The nurse said.
"I'm her husband." I said and she looked up.
"Go down this hallway and it should be room 4." She said and I nodded and ran down the hallway. I heard a scream and ran straight towards room 4. When I walked in Clary was griping the bed. I ran over and gave her a kiss on the temple.
"Oh thank god." She said and I smiled. "I thought you were going to miss it."
"I wouldn't miss this for the world." I said and just at that moment she let another scream out. About an hour later cries filled the room and I couldn't believe it.
"You two are the proud parents of a beautiful little girl." The doctor said and I let a tear fall. I was so incredibly happy that she was here, and she was healthy and that Clary was healthy. The nurse handed Clary the little bundle of pink and looking down on my daughter I was filled with so much emotion.
"Welcome to the world Maeve Herondale." Clary said and I leaned down and kissed both my girls. Nothing would ever compare to this moment. I was so completely in love, and I knew that nothing would ever happen to these two.
Time Jump – Eight Months Later
Jace POV:
We were currently in Houston for one of our shows, and Clary and Maeve were here with me. It was great to be able to look over to the side and see them standing there dancing, and having a good time. It was truly incredible.
It was the part of the show that I was going to slow it down. I grabbed a stool and sat down. I adjusted the microphone and looked over to Clary and I could see she was a little confused and I smiled and winked at her and started.
"I wanted to do something different tonight. My life has changed a lot in the last couple years. I got married to the most amazing girl in the world, and eight months ago, we welcomed the most beautiful little girl anyone could ask for into the world, and I couldn't be more blessed." I said and the crowd went crazy. "But right now, I want to pay tribute to a very special little boy." I looked over and I saw Clary's jaw drop. "I met my wife when her son asked to meet Heaven Sent as his Make A Wish, and unfortunately, he passes away some time ago, but he is always on my mind, and I know he is always looking down on me, my wife, and his little sister, and tonight, this show is for him." I said and I looked over at Clary and she was crying. I motioned for her to join me and she made her way on stage. The crowd when crazy and I pulled Clary and Maeve into my arms. "I love you guys." I whispered and she looked up.
"We love you too." Clary said and I gave her a kiss. I took my seat and pulled up a seat for Clary. I started playing "The Great Divide" especially for Tyler and sitting there, with Clary and Maeve, and singing for Tyler was everything I could have ever dreamed it would be. Life was amazing, and I planned on making sure Clary and Maeve knew that Tyler would always be watching over us, and smiling knowing that we kept living, and we kept living for him.
