Sixtieth One Shot:

Sperm Donor

Clary POV:

I always had it in my mind that I would be married at 25, and start having little babies 2 years later, but unfortunately for me, Mr. Right was no where to be seen. I had my fair share of relationships, but their were either really shitty people, too controlling, didn't want to have kids, or too immature. I felt like my dream goals of having a family were dwindling, which is why I made myself a promise. If I turned 30, and I wasn't married, or in a serious relationship, I would go to sperm bank and start my own family.

I know what you're thinking, it seemed like I was rushing to have a family, but being a mother was the one thing I wanted more than anything in this world. When I turned 22 I had a horrible case of baby fever. Whenever I saw a baby, I instantly wanted one. It seemed so natural for me to want to have a baby, and I didn't want to get to the point where I couldn't get pregnant, or the pregnancy would be risky for me and the baby. I wanted to have a healthy pregnancy, and a healthy baby, which is why I gave myself until I was 30. And guess what? When 30 rolled around, I had no boyfriend, and I was ready for a baby. Telling my mom what I planned on doing was weird, but she understood that this was what I wanted, so she was supportive. She even went to the sperm bank with me. That was an interesting day.

Flashback:

My mom and I were sitting in the sperm bank waiting to meet with the women who would be helping me choose a donor. I had finished filling out all the paperwork, so now I was just waiting to be called back.

"Clarissa Fray?" Someone called and my mom and I got up and followed the woman. When we got back there was a woman sitting behind the desk, we took our seats and she gave us a warm smile.

"Clarissa, it's wonderful to meet you." She said.

"Please, call me Clary." I said and she nodded.

"And who did you bring with you today?" She asked.

"My mom." I said.

"Well, I looked over your paperwork, and I pulled some potential candidates that fit what you're looking for in your future child." She said.

"You got all of that from what I wrote down?" I asked.

"Well, we ask you to describe your perfect partner so we can gather the men who resemble that." She explained.

"Okay." I simply said.

"Here are some of the files. There aren't any pictures of names due to confidentiality, but all their medical history is in there, and physical features." She said and I nodded. "I have to make this speech for ever client although I know you probably already know this, we can't guarantee you have a son or a daughter. That is completely up to the sperm."

"Do people get upset when the gender isn't what they wanted?" I asked with a laugh.

"We've actually been sued for it before, granted they didn't get anywhere, but now I have to mention that every meeting." She said and I just shook my head. "I'll leave you in here for a little to look over the files."

"Thank you." I said and she got up and left. I took a deep breath before looking at the first file.

Eyes: Green

Hair Color: Light Brown

Medical History: Male has no preexisting conditions, but heart failure is in the family.

I immediately put that file away when I saw that. I didn't want to be too picky, but I wasn't going to pick a male who has a history of a medical condition in their family because I didn't want to have to go through the heartache if my child gets it. I picked up the next one and started to read.

Eyes: Blue

Hair Color: Dirty Blonde

Medical History: Male has slightly elevated blood pressure.

Again I put it to the side. I had about 6 more files that I had to look through and if they all had something that had to do with a medical condition I didn't know what I was going to do. I wanted my child to be as healthy as possible, and I was going to make sure that happened. After about 15 more minutes I put my head in my hands. The other 5 had small medical history problems, so I was really hoping that this last file was a winner.

Eyes: Gold

Hair Color: Blonde

Medical History: Male has no medical conditions listed.

My eyes widened because this seemed like a fit. I was super excited and the woman walked back in and took a seat and smiled at me.

"Have you found a donor?" She asked.

"I think so, but I have one question." I said and she nodded. "It says that he doesn't have any medical history listed, does that mean there isn't any in his family?" I asked and she reached for the file. I handed it over and she looked at it.

"Ah, Donor GRF6734. He actually doesn't know his family history. He wouldn't go into specifics when asked, but there isn't any listed because he doesn't know." She said and I thought about it for a minute. I could either go with him and potentially have a problem down the line, or my child could be extremely healthy, and I was pretty optimistic, so I decided to just go with it.

"I think I found my donor." I said and she smiled.

"Perfect. We'll set you up with an appointment and get started right away." She said and my mom and I got up and left. We walked out scheduled my appointment and started walking to the car.

"Are you sure you want to do this Clary?" My mom asked and I looked at her and smiled.

"I'm positive." I said and she smiled and we made our way home. I was excited to start a family, and raise my little baby.

Flashback End:

That was 3 years ago, and so far my little baby boy is as healthy as can be. Justin was born January 24th, at 9 in the morning. He weighed 7 pounds, 6 ounces, and he was 19 inches long. He was absolutely perfect. He had gotten the blonde hair from the donor but he had beautiful curls from me, and his eyes were golden with traces of green in them. He was absolutely perfect and I loved him more than anything.

"Mommy! Come play with me." I heard Justin yell and I was pulled out of my memories. I looked up and Justin was playing in the sandbox. I smiled and made my way over to him and took a seat next to him.

"What are we making?" I asked and he smiled.

"A sandcastle!" He said and I laughed and we started making the castle. I loved every minute of being a mom, and I was so thankful I decided to get a sperm donor and start my perfect little family.

Jace POV:

I had gotten home from work and grabbed my mail. I put it on the counter as I put my work stuff down and grabbed a snack. I made my way back over to my mail and started looking through it when I noticed I had a letter that was dated for three years ago. Curiously I opened it up and started ready.

Dear Jonathan Herondale,

We are pleased to inform you that the second half of your payment had been added to your account. Thank you for your donation and we look forward to hearing from you again.

Sincerely,

MLF Inc.

I had no idea what this letter meant, so I just put it away and went back to checking my more recent mail. It was nearing 6 o'clock when Alec came home and joined me on the couch. Living with him was great. Thankfully when his family adopted me we instantly became best friends, and I couldn't be more thankful.

"Yo, I got this letter in the mail today from 3 years ago." I said as I handed it to Alec.

"Three years? What, did it get lost or something?" He said and I laughed.

"I don't know, but I have no idea what it even means." I said and Alec opened it and started reading. I didn't think much of it until I saw his eyes widened. "What?"

"Jace, you remember when Max got really sick and we were desperate for money?" He asked and I nodded. "You donated your sperm for like $60,000 and gave my mom the money."

"What does that have to do with that letter?" I asked.

"This is them telling you that someone bought your sperm." He said and my eyes widened.

"What?" I yelled.

"Three years ago, someone bought your sperm." He said again.

"So I have a kid out there?" I asked and Alec nodded. "I thought it was for research purposes, at least that's what the woman told me."

"Dude, why would someone need your sperm for research?" Alec asked and I shrugged.

"I don't know. I didn't think anyone would actually buy it. Who goes to a sperm bank anyway?" I asked and Alec shrugged.

"I think the price of your sperm was clouding your mind. Did you even listen to the woman who was explaining the process to you?" He asked.

"Not really, but I don't remember her saying someone could use it. I just wanted to save Max." I said and Alec smiled.

"I know, and we are incredibly grateful for that, but you gave a sperm bank you sperm, and someone used it to create a child." He said and I took a seat.

"I have to find her." I said and Alec looked confused.

"Why?" He asked.

"I had a shitty childhood. I feel like if I don't at least meet the kid, I'm doing the same thing my parents did to me." I said.

"Jace, you aren't your parents." Alec said and I shrugged.

"I just want to see them." I said and Alec sighed.

"I can get my friends who are PI's to look into it." Alec said and I smiled.

"Thanks man." I said and he nodded before exiting the room. I had a child, and I don't think I can actually wrap my head around that.

Time Jump – Two Weeks Later

Clary POV:

I was standing in my flower shop when I heard the bell ring. I looked up and two men in suits walked over to the counter. They didn't look like they belonged in my shop but I smiled at them anyway cause who am I to judge.

"Welcome to Fray's, how may I help you?" I said.

"Are you Clarissa Fray?" The one man asked.

"I am, who is asking?" I asked.

"My name is Bat, and this is my partner Jordan. We are Private Investigators." He said and I got confused.

"I don't know what they has to do with me." I said.

"You went to a the My Little Family Sperm Bank 4 years ago to get a donor am I correct?" Bat asked.

"How…how did you know that?" I asked confused.

"We work for the man whose sperm you chose." He said and my jaw dropped.

"That's supposed to be confidential." I said and they put some paperwork on the table.

"The man whose sperm you choose wasn't aware his sperm would be used. The woman who he talked to implied they would be used for research." He said and I felt awful.

"So I chose a man's sperm who never wanted to give it?" I asked.

"Not necessarily. He was willing to donate his sperm, but he wasn't informed that someone could buy it." Bat explained.

"I literally stole his sperm." I said and the men laughed. "Are you here to like take my son away?"

"No. He doesn't want to do that, but he does want to meet you both." Jordan said and my mouth went dry.

"He wants to meet me and my son?" I asked and they nodded. "Why?"

"You can ask that if you decide to meet with him, but I assure you, if you decline he will most likely take this to court, and try and get some type of custody out of it because his sperm was sold under false administration." The man said and I just felt my heart break.

"Would he be opposed to just meeting me first? I would rather not put my son in that situation." I said and they nodded.

"We understand. Are you free tomorrow?" Bat asked and I looked at my phone.

"I have about 2 and a half hours I can spare." I said and they nodded.

"Are you familiar with Java Jones?" He asked and I laughed.

"Very familiar." I said and they smiled and nodded.

"What time would work best for you?" Bat asked.

"10:30." I said and they nodded.

"10:30 it is." Jordan said and they left. I finally took a deep breath ad the tears fell. I couldn't believe this was happening to me, and I needed my moms advice.

I closed early and made my way over to her house. Justin was with her so I needed to pick him up anyway. When I walked in he was sitting on the couch watching a movie. I walked over and gave him a kiss, and went into the kitchen to greet my mom.

"You're here early Clary." She said and I took a seat.

"I got some unexpected visitors today." I said and she sat with me.

"What does that mean?" She asked.

"The sperm I chose all those years ago, turns out the man who donated them wasn't aware that they were going to be sold. He was told they would use his sperm for research and he never agreed to sell them." I said and my mom looked shocked.

"How do you know this?" She asked.

"Two Private Investigators came to the shop today. They found me, and he wants to meet Justin and I." I said.

"Wow." She said and I nodded.

"I'm meeting with him tomorrow, without Justin of course, but I'm scared. What if he wants custody?" I asked.

"There really is only one way to find out, and that's talking to him." She said and I nodded.

"I don't know what I'd do if he wanted to take Justin away mom. He's my baby." I said and she reached over and grabbed my hand.

"He's his baby too. He has already been deprived of three years of his life." My mom said.

"Whose side are you on?" I asked and she laughed.

"Sweetheart, don't take this personal. He just found out his sperm was sold without his knowledge, and now he as a child. He is probably freaking out." She said and I guess I never thought about that.

Clary POV:

I was sitting in Java Jones nervous as hell to meet the man who is the father of my baby. Every time the bell rang my head whipped around but none of them made their way over to me. I was so nervous I was barely drinking my coffee which was weird for me. After a couple minutes the bell rang again and when I looked up a golden man walked into the shop and I was completely speechless. As he continued to walk I could help but see the similarities between Justin and him. It was freaky.

"Are you Clarissa?" He asked and instead of being a normal adult, I had to be myself.

"Whoa." I said and he laugh.

"Believe it or not, that's not the first time I've been greeted that way." He said and it snapped me out of my daze.

"I'm sorry. It's just, i wasn't prepared for the similarities." I said and he nodded.

"Mind if I take a seat?" He asked and I shook my head. He pulled the seat out and sat down, and so far I liked what I saw, and he seemed nice so that was good. "I know this is extremely weird, but I appreciate you meeting me."

"At first I was annoyed, but after Bat and Jordan explained that you never really gave consent for your sperm to be sold, I was more willing to meet you." I said and he nodded.

"Understandable." He said and it got quiet. "Well, I'm Jace."

"It's nice to meet you Jace, I'm Clary by the way. I've never liked Clarissa." I said and he laughed.

"Yea, I don't like my first name either." He said and I smiled.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Jonathan." He said and I nodded.

"Yea, you don't look like a Jonathan." I said and he laughed.

"So, this kind of meeting doesn't really have a protocol, so I hope you don't mind me being blunt." He said and I smiled and shook my head. "Do we have a son or a daughter?" He asked hesitantly. I laughed and pulled out my phone and found a good picture.

"A son. His name is Justin." I said as I handed him my phone. He took it from me and I could just see the awe cross his whole face. "Which is why I greeted you the way that I did. The similarities are shocking." I said and he just nodded and kept looking at the photo.

"He has my eyes." Jace said after a minute as he gave my phone back.

"Yea. That was half the reason I picked your file. I thought it was so unique that you had gold eyes. The majority of the files had blue, or green but when I saw gold I was sold." I said and he laughed.

"It's definitely unique. I get a lot of compliments on them." He said and I laughed.

"So does he. No matter where we are someone always asks about them." I said and he nodded.

"So if my gold eyes were half the reason, what was the other half?" He asked.

"I was very particular about medical history. I wanted to know if there was a chance my baby was going to have health issues." I explained and he nodded. "Truthfully, I didn't want anyone who had a history of bad health problems, but when I came to yours there were none listed, and when I asked she said you didn't know. So I decided the unknown was worth it because at least my baby had the chance to get gold eyes." I said and he laughed.

"And is he healthy?" He asked.

"He's very healthy." I said. "But since I now have you here, could you tell me if there is any medical issues I should worry about?" I asked and I could tell his mood shifted.

"I wish I could tell you, but I don't know." He said.

"Can you call up your parents?" I asked and that's when I saw his body language shift from comfortable to rigid.

"My parents dropped my off in front of a church when I was 2." He said and I just felt my heart break. "I have no idea who they are, or where they are at this point."

"Why did they do that?" I asked.

"The note they left on my shirt had my name and said that they tried the whole parent thing, and it just wasn't for them." He said with a dry laugh. "I was put in a orphanage until I was 15." He said.

"That's terrible." I said and he shrugged.

"I got out." He said.

"How did you do that?" I asked.

"Well, if the accent isn't a dead give away, I'm from England. And in middle school I read about this program when American families were fostering kids, and I figured why not. I had nothing in England holding me there. So I went to the man who ran the orphanage and asked if I could sign up, and he didn't care, so I did." He explained. "It took some time, but by the time I was about to start high school I was given a family. Right here in New York. I spent my freshman year of high school here, and when the year was up they asked if I would like to stay, and I said yes. The whole fostering process took almost a year, but when I was 17 I was legally adopted by them."

"That's amazing." I said and he smiled.

"Even though I was going to be 18 the next year, it felt great to be apart of a family." He said.

"I bet. I'm glad that worked out for you." I said.

"Which is the reason why I wanted to meet you, and my kid. I felt like I was doing the same thing my parents did to me if I didn't at least meet my own kid." He said, and now I completely understood his motives. They weren't mean, he was simply checking on his child.

"Can I ask you a question?" I asked.

"Of course." He said.

"Why were you donating sperm in the first place?" I asked.

"The family that adopted me, they have three children. One who is significantly younger than the other two. About 5 years ago he got really sick and they needed a lot of money desperately. I read that donating sperm is a great way to make money, and I got $60,000 for my donation and I gave it all to my adoptive family to help with the medical bills." He said and I couldn't believe he did that.

"But you didn't know thy were going to be sold?" I asked.

"No. The woman said she would most likely use my sperm for research, and looking back now I should have known that was a false claim, but I was too worried about Max. I needed the money, and it was a sure thing." He explained.

"That makes a lot of sense." I said and he nodded.

"Now I have a question." He said.

"Okay, shoot." I said and he laughed.

"When is Justin's birthday?" He asked.

"January 24th." I said and he smiled.

"My birthday is January 26th." He said.

"That's cool." I said and he nodded.

"I can't believe he'll be four." He said and I laughed.

"Time certainly flies." I said.

"I'd love to meet him." He said after a moment.

"I need to explain what's going on first, and I would like to give him a few days to process it. But if you leave your number, I'll contact you when we can meet up." I said and he nodded and pulled out a business card. "Fancy."

"Work requirement." He said.

"What do you do for work?" I asked realizing we didn't even cover the basics.

"I'm the COO of Branwell Inc." he said.

"What's a COO?" I asked and he laughed.

"Chief Operating Officer. It's one step below the CEO." He explained.

"That is a fancy job." I said.

"I worked my ass off to get where I am." He said.

"I don't doubt it." I said and he smiled.

"What about you?" He asked.

"I own my own flower shop." I said.

"That's cool." He said and I shrugged.

"It's not fancy, but I love it." I said.

"All that matters is if you love what you do." He said and I nodded.

"Speaking of my shop, I have to get back. I left one of my employees in charge, and she isn't the brightest." I said and he laughed.

"Well, it was great meeting you, and I hope we get the chance to meet up soon, and that I can meet Justin." He said and I smiled and nodded as we walked in opposite directions. Even though this meeting went well, I was still hesitant to introducing Justin to him, and I didn't know if that feeling would ever go away.

Time Jump – A Couple Days Later

Clary POV:

Today was the day that I was going to explain to Justin about his dad. I was worried that Justin would than want to spend every waking moment with Jace, and I didn't know how Jace felt about that. He seemed eager to meet Justin, but that didn't mean he wanted to be a father. I had taken Justin out to eat and I nearly chickened out multiple times, but I needed to tell him, and I knew Jace was probably just as anxious to meet him.

"Justin, we need to talk about something." I finally said and he looked up from the picture he was coloring.

"Am I in trouble mommy?" He asked and I smiled and shook my head.

"Not at all Justin." I said and he put his crayon down. "You know I love you very much, but recently I have come in contact with your father."

"I have a daddy?" He asked with such amazement in his voice.

"You do." I said and he got the biggest smile on his face.

"Where is he?" He asked as he looked around the restaurant.

"He isn't here right now baby, but he really wants to meet you." I said.

"Why didn't he want to meet me sooner?" Justin asked and I reached over and grabbed his hand.

"You might not understand it, but your daddy and I were never together. I went to a special place to have you, and I just met your daddy myself a couple days ago." I explained as easily as I could.

"So you don't love my daddy?" He asked and my heart just ached.

"No baby. I don't really even know him." I admitted.

"Oh." He said as he looked down.

"But he seems like a really nice man, and if you want to meet him, you can." I said and he looked up at me.

"Okay." He said with the same defeated tone as before.

"Is that something you'd be interested in?" I asked and he looked up and nodded. "Okay, maybe this weekend we can do something together."

"Like a family?" He asked and my heart just broke a little more.

"Exactly like a family." I said and he smiled and continued to color. I knew this was something that both Jace and Justin needed, but I didn't want Justin to get his hopes up just to be let down. I don't think I could go through that.

After lunch we went home and Justin went into the living room and I put on a movie. I made my way into the kitchen and pulled my phone out and Jace's business card. I took a deep breath before dialing the number and waited for him to answer.

"Jace Herondale speaking, how may I help you?" He said and my breath caught.

"Hi Jace, it's Clary." I said after a moment.

"Oh, hi Clary. How are you?" He asked and the fact that Jace seemed like such a nice guy made it harder to try and reject him with meeting his son, our son.

"I'm good. How are you?" I asked.

"Doing pretty well." He said.

"I talked to Justin today, and he is eager to meet you." I said.

"Really? That's great!" He said and I could hear the excitement in his voice.

"I was thinking that maybe we could go to the park this weekend. Justin loves the park." I said.

"That's perfect. Let me know when." He said.

"How about Saturday, 12 o'clock?" I asked.

"Sounds perfect. Thank you Clary, this means a lot to me." He said and I smiled.

"No problem Jace. See you Saturday." I said.

"Bye Clary." He said and we hung up. I took a deep breath and made my way out to the living room. I sat on the couch and Justin curled into my side. I gave him a kiss on the head as we sat and watched the movie together, and I couldn't stop thinking about how the outcome of their meeting was going to turn out.

Time Jump – Saturday

Jace POV:

I was standing in the park anxiously waiting for Clary and Justin to arrive. I was so incredibly nervous because I didn't know how he was going to react. Would he accept me, or would he want nothing to do with me? I had no idea, and that scared me. I was staring at the ground when I heard someone clear their throat and when I looked up there stood Clary with the cutest little boy I've ever seen.

"Hi." She said and I took a deep breath.

"Hi." I said back. She leaned down and gave the little boy a kiss, our little boy and he giggled.

"Justin, I want you to meet your father." Clary said and Justin turned towards me. I smiled at him and he looked up at me for a minute and than got the biggest smile on his face.

"Daddy!" He yelled and started running towards me. I bent down and opened my arms and scooped him up. Holding him for the first time filled some sort of void that I didn't even know I had.

"Hi little man." I said and he laughed. He leaned back but I didn't let him go. "It's nice to meet you."

"You too daddy." He said and I never thought I'd never hear a child call me that, but I never wanted him to stop. "Would you like to play in the sandbox with me?" He asked and I smiled.

"I would love too." I said as I put him down. He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the sandbox, and in that moment, I couldn't picture myself doing anything else in the world.

Clary POV:

Justin ran off with Jace to the sandbox so I took a seat on the nearby bench and watched. I knew that Justin would welcome Jace with open arms. He's three, he holds no grudges or resentment for anyone. And looking at Jace play with Justin and seeing how incredibly happy Justin was, made me feel like I did make the right decision. Jace deserved to know Justin, and Justin deserved to know Jace, and it might be hard to always schedule play dates, and whatnot, but seeing how incredibly happy there were together was always going to be worth it.

Time Jump – Two Months Later

Clary POV:

Why in the world did Jace have to be such a kind, and caring man? Why couldn't the sperm donor I choose be a dick? Why did I have to pick the guy who I was starting to fall head over heels in love with? Yup, you heard correctly. These past two months have been insane but Jace and Justin hang out as often as they can, and when Jace isn't around Justin can't stop talking about him. Seeing them together melted my heart every time, and it made me wish that we were an actual family, but I knew that dream was never going to come true.

Jace was coming over today and I was internally dreading it. Being in the same room as him was really difficult and seeing the bond and Justin and him have created made it even worse. The more time they spent together the more I noticed that Justin was a mini version of Jace, which meant that I was never going to be able to escape him. There was a knock on the door and Justin went running. I heard the door open and I took a deep breath.

"Daddy!" I heard Justin yell and I thought that this was the start of the day.

"Hi little man, where is mommy?" I heard Jace ask and just like that, my insides went to goo.

"She's in the kitchen." I heard Justin say and a moment later Jace was standing there with Justin in his arms.

"Hi." He said and I simply smiled. He put Justin down, and he went running into the other room and Jace made his way over to me. "I was thinking that we could go out to lunch and than maybe we could introduce him to my family. My siblings have been dying to meet him."

"I guess that could work." I said as I tried to sound enthusiastic but Jace caught on.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I just hate getting Justin's hopes up." I admitted.

"What are you talking about?" Jace asked.

"I don't know how you feel about religion, but before bed we pray every night, and do you know what Justin has been praying about lately?" I asked and Jace shook his head. "He prays that we will be a family one day."

"But we are a family." Jace said.

"Not in the way that he prays for." I said. "When I first told Justin about you, one of the first things he asked me was if I loved you. And when I told him I didn't because I barely knew you, he got so sad, and spending time with you, and doing things that families do is giving him hope that we could be like that one day, and I know we can't, but Justin doesn't know that." I admitted.

"What makes you think we can't?" Jace asks and I was completely taken aback by that statement.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"What makes you think we could never be the family that Justin prays for?" He asks.

"I just - I didn't think - I mean we barely know each other." I stuttered ad Jace laughed.

"That's the great thing about spending a lot of time together, we get to know each other." Jace said as he moved closer to me.

"We can't risk that." I said and Jace looked confused.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Because we have Justin to worry about. If we ended up getting involved and we become that family that Justin prays for, and something goes wrong, that would break his heart, and I won't do that to my baby." I said.

"Our baby." Jace corrected. "Do you know how awful it is for me to spend an entire day with Justin and than have to go home to an empty house? To not be able to tuck my son in, and kiss him goodnight, and than wake up in the morning alone?" Jace asked.

"No." I simply said.

"It's horrible. I dread for the day to end because I know I'm going to walk into my empty house and be riddled with the fact that my own son isn't really mine." Jace admitted.

"What are you talking about? Of course he's yours." I said and Jace just shook his head.

"Not really. Sure he has my DNA, but at the end of the day he goes home with you, not me." Jace said and I never thought about how unfair and sad that must have been for him.

"I never really thought about that before." I said and Jace shrugged.

"He's been only yours for 3 years, and than I show up out of nowhere and completely throw you off?" He says with laugh. "I wasn't going to be the guy who came into your life and demanded time with my son. I wasn't going to change your whole life just because my sperm was sold without my permission. Trust me, I could have gone to court and this whole thing would have been one hell of a mess." Jace said and my stomach tied itself in knots. "I wasn't going to do that to you, or my son, so I take what I can get. But sometimes it just sucks a lot."

"I didn't realize you felt that way." I said and Jace just shrugged.

"You could have kept Justin from me, but you didn't. It was incredibly kind of you to let me meet him and share him with me. That's what I'm grateful for. That I can actually have a relationship with my son." Jace said with a smile. It was quiet for a moment before I spoke.

"Hypothetically, if we did, you know, want to risk it, everything would have to be thought through carefully." I said and I could see him perk up a little. "Justin means the world to me, and I'm not going to put him through this if we can't work out our problems, or reconcile if we have a fight."

"Communication is something that I think we could work out. I'm normally not very good with expressing myself, but I will do everything to make sure that we don't hurt Justin." Jace said and I took a deep breath.

"Okay." I said.

"Okay? You would be willing to see where this went?" He asked and I laughed.

"Only if you want too." I said and he walked over and scooped me up into his arms.

"Ever since we started to get to know each other all I want to do is be with you and Justin." He said and I smiled.

"Do you think your family will like Justin?" I asked and he pulled away from me.

"They have been dying to meet him since the day I found out about him." Jace said and I laughed.

"Okay. Let's go." I said and he smiled.

"Justin! You ready little man?" Jace called and we heard little footsteps. Justin ran into the kitchen and Jace picked him up.

"I'm ready daddy." He said and honestly my heart couldn't handle the cuteness. "Where are we going?"

"I was thinking of taking you and mom out to lunch and than over to meet my family. How does that sound?" Jace asked and Justin got really excited.

"I have more family?" Justin asked and I smiled and made my way over to him.

"Yes you do baby. You have more grandparents, and aunts and uncles." I said and Justin got super excited.

"Let's go!" He said and Jace put him down and we each grabbed one of his hands and made our way out to his car.

We got to the restaurant and I don't think Justin could contain his excitement for the day. He was bouncing up and down in his seat, and coloring like a mad man when it came to his pictures. I didn't mind it at first because I knew this was all exciting and new for him, but once he spilled his juice is when I couldn't take it anymore.

"Justin Fray." I said and he stopped moving and hung his head.

"I'm sorry mommy." He said and I noticed that Jace had been cleaning the table up.

"Come on little man, if you can't make it through the meal without anymore spills, we won't go visit my family." Jace said and Justin looked really sad.

"Okay daddy." Justin said and I took a deep breath. Having someone else was actually really nice, because I didn't have to be the bad parent all the time now.

Justin was so well behaved the rest of the time at the restaurant and I knew it was only because he really wanted to meet Jace's family. It was so cute to see him so incredibly excited about something, and it was exciting for me as well for Justin to have more than just me and my mom in his life. He had other family members, who hopefully would love him as much as my mom, Jace and I did. We got in the car and Jace started driving, and we pulled up to this lovely little house, and we got out. Jace and I each took one of Justin's hands and made our way up to the house. Since Jace did live here at one point he just walked in and that's when the nerves really hit me. Jace and I just decided to risk our friendship to see if there was anything else there, and I knew they would love Justin, but what if they didn't like me?

"Mom?" Jace yelled. "You home?"

"I'm in the kitchen dear!" I heard a woman yell and Jace started walking and Justin and I followed behind. "I didn't know you were coming over."

"I have a surprise for you." Jace said as Justin and I entered the kitchen.

"Is that….?" The woman asked and Jace smiled.

"I'd like you to meet Justin, my son." Jace said and the older woman took off her apron and dried her hands.

"He reminds me of you." She said and I laughed.

"The similarities are shocking." I said and she looked at me. "I'm Clary."

"It's wonderful to meet you dear, I'm Maryse." She said. "And it's wonderful to meet you sweetheart." She said to Justin.

"What do I call you?" He asked and I laughed.

"Well, you can call me anything you want sweetie." Maryse said.

"Can I call you Granny?" Justin asked and I could tell it was very emotional for Maryse.

"That's perfect." She said and she kneeled down and Justin went running into her arms. He was never shy about hugs. "You are just the sweetest little thing." Maryse said when they finished hugging. "I'm going to go get everyone else."

"Everyone is here?" Jace asked.

"Isabelle and Simon got into a fight last night so she stayed here, and Max is still in high school." Maryse said.

"Is dad here?" Jace asked.

"He should be in his study." Maryse said as she walked out of the kitchen. A moment later an older man walked in and Jace greeted him with a hug.

"Hi dad." Jace said and the man smiled.

"This is the little guy you haven't been able to shut up about?" The man said with a smile and Jace laughed.

"Yup, this is Justin, and that's Clary." Jace said.

"I'm Robert, it's nice to meet you." He said and I smiled.

"You as well." I said and he looked down at Justin.

"Welcome to the family little man." Robert said and Justin smiled.

"Thanks…..uh, what do I call you?" He asked and we all laughed.

"Whatever you want kid." Robert said.

"I've never had a grandpop before." Justin said and I nearly cried. "Can I call you Pappy?" Justin asked and I laughed. In one of the many books we read, that's what the little boy calls his grandfather, and I thought it was adorable.

"Of course kid." Robert said and Justin ran and hugged his legs. Robert bent down and picked Justin up. Jace walked over to me and put his arm around my shoulder. I leaned into him, and took a deep breath. Seeing Justin with his family made me grateful that Jace was so invested in getting to know Justin. A moment later two other people walked in behind Maryse.

"Isabelle, Max, this is Justin and Clary." Maryse said.

"Call me Izzy." The girl said with a smile. "He's a cutie." She said and I laughed.

"That he is." I said as Robert put Justin down and he walked over to the two.

"What do I call you?" He asked and I laughed.

"That's your Aunt Izzy, and your Uncle Max baby." I said and he smiled. He grabbed one of each of their legs and hugged them causing everyone to laugh.

"I texted Alec and asked him to come over, he should be here in 10 minutes." Maryse said and Jace just nodded. After Justin was done hugging everyone, he ran back over to Jace and I and Jace picked him up. He rested his head on Jace's shoulder and I looked at the time and realized he needed his nap.

"It's time for his nap, is there a place that he could rest?" I asked.

"Of course. Jace, take him up to your old room." Maryse said and Jace nodded. He grabbed my hand and I followed Jace upstairs. We got to his room, and when he opened it I wasn't expecting it to be so clean. Nothing was out of place, and it was quite surprising.

"You're a neat freak." I said and Jace laughed.

"I have OCD." He said as he placed Justin down on the bed.

"I would have never of thought you'd be this tidy." I said as I looked around.

"I like everything to have it's own place." He said and I laughed.

"One day I'm going to have to have you over to clean my apartment." I said and he grabbed my hand and led me out of his room.

"I don't know, your apartment doesn't seem to have enough room for all your stuff." He said and I laughed.

"Most of that stuff is Justin's." I pointed out as we walked down the stairs and was greeted with a new face.

"Alec, you just missed Justin." Jace said and the boy smiled.

"That's okay. I figured I'd catch him after his nap." He said and Jace laughed.

"This is Clary. Clary this is my brother and my roommate Alec." Jace said.

"It's nice to finally meet you Clary." Alec said and I smiled.

"You too." I said. It might seem weird that him and Jace live together, and I've never met him, but according to Jace, he is either working crazy weird hours, or with his boyfriend, so we always ended up missing each other.

We all took a seat in the living room and started talking. It was weird being around such a big family. It was just my mom and me my whole life, and to be around a mother, and a father, and four siblings was really interesting, but they all just laughed, and joked so much that I was glad that Justin had them in his life now.

"I still can't believe you used this losers sperm." Izzy said as she pointed to Jace. "I mean, if only they had a box for arrogant as hell, and loves to hear himself talk you would have stayed far away from that sperm." She said and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Compared to the pervious relationships I've had, Jace is by far one of the nicest guys I've ever met." I said and she nodded.

"What made you go to a sperm bank in the first place?" Izzy asked.

"I was always the girl who wanted to be a mom." I started to explain. "I only had my mom growing up. She was my world, and as I got older, I just wanted that kind of connection of my own. I dated jerks, and losers, and cheaters, and commitment phobes. And I made myself a promise, if I was 30, and single that I would go to a sperm bank and start that family I always wanted." I said. "When 30 rolled around and I was single, and not even thinking about men anymore, I realized that I wanted a baby, and that's what I did."

"And what compelled you to chose Jace?" Maryse asked.

"I was very specific when it came to medical history. I wanted my baby to be as healthy as possible, and they also asked about my dream guy." I said with a laugh. "So they gave me files of sperm donors who matched my description. They all had light hair, and light eyes. When I came across Jace's, the gold eyes immediately caught my attention. I thought they were incredibly unique, and in his file it said that he didn't have a medical history listed, and when I asked the woman she said he didn't know so he didn't write any down. So for me, it was either be in the dark about his medical history, and have the possibility of those gold eyes, or pick someone who I knew had a good medical history. I was too intrigued by the gold eyes that I decided to take a chance."

"All because of his eyes?" Izzy asked and I shrugged.

"I could either chance it with the unknown medical history or my child could have had a long line of the medical histories that I was shown, and in the moment, I decided the unknown was better because at least he would have cool eyes." I said and everyone laughed. A second later I could hear Justin crying. "I should go get him. He's not used to strange places." I said as I stood up and went to get Justin.

Jace POV:

Clary went upstairs and the room was quiet. I didn't know what they were thinking, and it was kinda throwing me off a little. If Clary and I were going to see where this went, I would love to have my families approval.

"So, what's going on between the two of you?" Izzy finally asked.

"I'm not entirely sure yet." I admitted. "We talked earlier, and I want to see where it can go."

"Already?" Alec asked. "You met like two months ago."

"Yea, but I spend the majority of my free time with both of them, and when I have to leave I just feel like emptiness that I can't fill unless I'm with them." I confessed.

"Isn't that just because of Justin though?" My mom asked. "It's not like you've known Clary for years, and you just recently got back together. You had literally no idea she existed before you realized she used your sperm to create a child."

"It sounds weird, but when we're together I feel like we're a family, and I feel like we've always been a family. There is something about her that makes me feel like I've known her for years, not months." I said.

"She seems like a lovely girl, and you can see the amazing job she's done raising Justin over the past three years." My dad said. "If you think that you three can be a family, we certainly won't stand in your way."

"I appreciate that." I said and everyone nodded. A moment later I heard footsteps walking down the stairs and a fit of giggles.

"Mommy, I'm three years old. You don't have to hold my hand down the stairs." We heard and I couldn't help but smile.

"Justin, you get super excited and miss stairs, remember you ended up in the hospital with a split chin last year?" Clary asked as they walked into the living room.

"But I got a cool scar!" He said and I couldn't help but smile. Clary laughed and let go of his hand and he ran towards me. I picked him up and sat him on my lap and he smiled. "See my cool scar daddy?"

"That is a cool scar little man." I said and he smiled as Clary took a seat next to us. "There is one more person I'd like you to meet Justin." I said and he nodded. "That's your Uncle Alec." I said as I pointed to Alec. Justin looked over and Alec smiled.

"Hi Uncle Alec!" Justin said and Alec smiled.

"Nice to meet you Justin." Alec said and Justin smiled.

"I have a lot of family mommy." Justin said and Clary grabbed his hand and kissed it.

"Yea you do baby." She said and Justin leaned back towards me. I put my free arm around Clary and pulled her close to me. This might have been the most unusual way to have a family, but I couldn't wait to see what the future held for the tree of us.

Time Jump – One Year Later

Clary POV:

To say this last year was insane would be an understatement. Jace and I had been getting along really well, and after a couple months of seeing how well we worked we officially became a couple, and I know it sounds weird, but it was one of the greatest decisions I've ever made, apart from decided to go to the sperm bank in the first place.

Justin and Jace were without a doubt the cutest father and son you'll ever see. Jace takes him to he park, and he just started playing soccer which Jace coaches. It was almost like Jace had always been around raising Justin with me. Justin was a mini Jace, but I wouldn't want it any other way. Without my commitment to being a mother, I wouldn't have Justin, and I wouldn't have Jace either, and those two meant the world to me, and I couldn't picture life without them.

"Mommy! We're going to be late!" Justin yelled as he ran into the kitchen. "Daddy said he'd meet us at the field."

"Okay little man, we'll leave right now." I said as I grabbed my keys. Justin had a game today, and unfortunately for Jace, he had to go in for an emergency meeting, so he was going to have to meet us there. We drove to the field and Justin ran to join the rest of the team, and I made my way down and stood with the other parents. The game was starting in 5 minutes and Jace was nowhere to be found. I was looking everywhere for him, and I even tried calling him, but no luck. The referee came over to the parents and looked sympathetically at us.

"If this team doesn't have a coach, we need to forfeit the game." He said and I sigh.

"I'm the coach." I said and everyone looked at me. "I totally forgot that the actual coach said he was going to be late, and asked me to start without him. I'm so sorry."

"Very well." The ref said and I shook my head. I made my way down to the field where the little guys huddled around me.

"Where is daddy mommy?" Justin asked and I gave him a kiss.

"I don't know baby, but we have to start the game." I said and he nodded. I gave them a little pep talk and than sent the players out on the field. The whistle blew and the game started.

Half way through the first half Jace still wasn't here and I was starting to get angry. How could he not even text me to let me know he would be late? I was pulled out of my thoughts when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and there stood Jace.

"Why the hell are you so late?" I whisper yelled so that none of the children heard.

"The meeting went longer than anticipated, and I wasn't allowed to use my phone." He said and I wanted to be angry, but I knew I couldn't.

"Was it at least an important meeting?" I asked and he smiled.

"I think you will be very pleased with the outcome." He said.

"What does that mean?" I asked and he got a wicked smirk on his face.

"You're looking at the new CEO of Branwell Inc." He said and my jaw hit the ground.

"Are you serious?" I asked and she nodded.

"Branwell is getting old, and he wants to spend more time with his grandchildren." He explained and I threw my arms around his neck.

"I'm so proud of you." I said and I felt him laugh.

"There is a slight problem though." Jace said and I pulled away.

"What?" I asked.

"We have to move." He said and I looked confused.

"Why?" I asked.

"Okay, I phrased that wrong. We don't have to move, but it would be beneficial if we did." He said and the whistle blew indicating half time. The boys ran off the field and Justin ran straight to Jace.

"Why are you late daddy?" He asked.

"I had work things to do, but I'm here now." He said as he gave Justin a kiss. "Go join your team for snacks while I talk to mommy." Jace said and Justin nodded and made his way over to the other boys.

"So why would moving be beneficial?" I asked.

"Right now it takes me about 40 minutes to get to work, and being the CEO, I would have to be there whenever I'm needed, and a 40 minute commute isn't very efficient." He said and I understood what he was saying.

"But what about my flower shop?" I asked.

"I thought about that. I was thinking we could open another location. Expand your store and get more business." He said. "I'm not saying we move 40 minutes away, but I would like to be in at least a 20 minute drive to work."

"Will this move hurt Justin in anyway?" I asked worrying about my baby.

"He's only 4, so not at all. They have great school districts in the area, and sports leagues, everything that's offered here, is offered there." He said.

"Okay." I said and he got the biggest smile on his face.

"Seriously?" He asked and I laughed.

"Of course Jace. I am so incredibly proud of you for getting this job, and if we have to move, well move." I said and he scooped my up into his arms.

"Do you think your mom can watch Justin tonight?" He asked.

"I can call her, but why does she need to watch him?" I asked and he got another wicked smirk on his face.

"Because I intend on taking you out, and getting a little too drunk to be able to watch a child tonight." He said in a seductive voice that made my legs almost give out.

"You sure about that?" I said back and he leaned down and pressed his lips to my ear.

"Positive." He whispered and I had to suppress a moan.

"You have yourself a deal." I said and he smiled. "No go coach your son's soccer team, and I'll call my mom." I said and he gave me a small kiss and headed over to the team. I calmed myself down before pulling out my phone and calling my mom. Tonight was going to be fun, I knew it, and I couldn't wait.

Time Jump – Two Months Later

Clary POV:

"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit." I mumbled as I searched through my bag for my keys. I just now realized that I was a month late. I needed to go to the pharmacy and pick up a couple pregnancy tests. Thankfully Jace and Justin were out having a father son day, so I didn't have to make up some excuse to leave.

When I got to the pharmacy I grabbed about 5 tests, because I needed to make sure before I sprung it on Jace. I paid and left hoping that I would get home before Jace and Justin. When I pulled up to our house the car wasn't there and I took a deep breath. I ran to the bathroom and immediately started peeing. It was the longest couple minutes of my life.

Finally when the timer went off I checked the first stick, and it was positive. My heart stopped as I waited for the other one. The second one read positive as well. As so did the third, fourth, and fifth one. I was pregnant, and I just sat in the bathroom and started sobbing, but they were happy tears of course. Justin was almost 5, and bringing another child into this world, especially another one with Jace was incredible. I heard the front door open and I immediately hid all the tests, and washed my face and composed myself before heading out towards the living room. When I walked out Jace was holding a sleeping Justin in his arms. He smiled at me as he put Justin on the couch.

"You two must have had one eventful day." I said and Jace laughed.

"Sugar rush that ended poorly." He said and I laughed. "How was your day?" He asked. I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the bathroom. "What's going on?" He asked but I still didn't say anything. I pulled the drawer out and pointed. He walked over and looked in and his eyes got wide. "You're serious?"

"I realized that I was late about an hour ago, and I ran to the pharmacy and picked up all 5 and took them." I said and Jace scooped me up in his arms.

"We're going to have a baby?" He asked and I laughed.

"We're going to have another baby." I said and he smiled even more.

"I can't believe we're pregnant. I can't believe I get to witness it." He said and I laughed.

"You won't be saying that when I reach six months. I'm a nightmare." I confessed and he laughed. "I'm serious. My mother wouldn't spend more then 10 minutes in a room with me when I was pregnant with Justin because I was just so nasty."

"I think I can handle it." He said and I shook my head.

"If you say so, but don't complain when I turn into a dragon and try to bite you head off." I said and he laughed again and pulled me into a hug. This pregnancy I knew was going to be different, and I couldn't wait to experience it with Jace.

Time Jump – Six Months Pregnant

Jace POV:

Clary wasn't kidding when she said she gets nasty. More often than not I'm ducking to avoid pillows, and remotes, and the occasional plate. Everything just seemed to bother her 10 times more than normal, and it sucked, but I knew it was because her hormones are out of whack, but poor Justin just wants his mom back, and I couldn't blame him, because I wanted Clary back.

Today we had an appointment so Justin was going to spend the day with Clary's mom. I was thankful that Clary and I would get some time alone together, and that Justin would spend some time with his Nanna, and he also wouldn't have to worry about making Clary angry. He could simply be a kid, and that's what he needed. I opened the door and Justin made a beeline for Jocelyn. She gladly scooped him up and gave him a huge hug. When she set him down he ran into the living room and I made my way over to Jocelyn.

"Thank you for watching him today." I said and she smiled.

"It's not a problem. I love spending time with him." She said and I nodded. "How is Clary?"

"A nightmare, just like she warned me she would be." I said with a laugh and Jocelyn laughed as well.

"Man, I don't know how you do it. I was ready to suffocate her with a pillow when she was pregnant with Justin." Jocelyn said and I laughed.

"I just don't take it personal. I know her hormones are all out of whack, and she will only be pregnant for a couple more months, and hopefully she goes back to normal." I explained and Jocelyn nodded.

"Once she held Justin for the first time she was completely back to her old self, so hopefully that happens again." She said and I nodded.

"Justin, can you come here for a minute!" I called and I heard Justin come running.

"What daddy?" He asked and I kneeled down in front of him.

"Mommy and I will only be gone for a couple of hours, so be good for Nanna." I said and he smiled and nodded. "I love you."

"I love you too daddy." He said as he gave me a hug. I gave him one more kiss before saying my goodbyes and heading back home to get Clary. I walked into the house and heard sobbing. I immediately ran into the living room to see Clary sitting on the couch crying.

"Clary, what's wrong?" I asked frantically as I made my way over to her.

"How do you still love me?" She said through sobs as she blew her nose. "I've been awful to you."

"Clary baby, don't worry about it. I can handle it." I said and she looked at me with swollen eyes.

"You deserve so much more than what I can give you." She said as she continued to cry.

"Clary, listen to me." I said and she looked at me. "I love you. More than I've ever loved anyone else in my life. You have filled a void that I had in my life that I didn't even know existed. You and Justin are my world, and I couldn't picture my life without you." I said and she hiccupped.

"So why haven't you asked me to marry you yet?" She asked and I smiled and wiped the stray tear that escaped her eye.

"I was waiting until after the baby was born. You're already under a lot of stress, I wasn't going to add to that by you trying to plan a wedding." I admitted knowing that all she really needs to hear is the truth.

"So you really do want to marry me?" She asked and I laughed.

"More than anything else in the world Clary." I said and she sniffled a little more. "Come on, let's go find out the gender of our baby, and than we can stop for ice cream." I said and she smiled.

"You're the best." She said and I helped her off the couch.

"You've given me two children, I think that makes you the best." I said as we made our way to my car. The whole way to the doctors office Clary didn't let go of my hand, but I didn't mind. This was the first time in months that Clary has been semi close to her original self, and I was going to soak up every minute of it.

We were sitting in the waiting room and Clary's leg was bouncing up and down like crazy. I knew she was nervous, but at least she's been through this before! I was new to this whole thing, and it scared the hell out of me, but I wasn't going to tell Clary that because one of us had to stay sane throughout this whole process.

"Clarissa Fray?" The nurse called and Clary and I stood up. We followed the woman into the office. "The doctor will be in shorty." She said than she left. A few moments later the doctor walked in.

"Clarissa, it's great to see you again." The doctor said and Clary smiled.

"You too doctor." Clary said.

"So you want to find out the gender today, is that correct?" The doctor asked.

"Yes." Clary answered with a grin.

"You know, I still can't get over the fact that you two are together. I remember when you walked in here pregnant with Justin, and now here you two are." The doctor said and Clary and I both laughed.

"Trust me, we can't believe it either." Clary said and I grabbed her hand.

"Okay, let's see what we have here." The doctor said as she rubbed the gel on Clary's belly. After a couple moment of looking the doctor grinned. "Looks like you two are going to be the proud parents of a little girl."

"A girl?" Clary asked as I heard her voice crack.

"Looks like it." The doctor said. "I'll see you two back here in a couple months." She said as she wiped Clary off and left the room. We sat there in silence for a moment before I heard Clary sniffle.

"Are you happy baby?" I asked and she looked at me and smiled.

"I couldn't be happier." She said and I gave her a kiss. Having a girl was going to be weird, but I couldn't wait to start raising her, and protecting her, and just loving her more than life.

Time Jump – Birth

Clary POV:

"Jace!" I called out from my spot in the living room. "Jace we need to go to the hospital." I said and I heard running.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yea. My contractions are finally close enough." I said as he helped me off the couch. My water had broken a couple hours ago, and Jace and I had just been waiting for the contractions to be close. My mom came and picked up Justin so that Jace and I didn't have to worry about him in the moment.

We got to the hospital and I was immediately brought into a room. They hooked me up to all the machines and gave me that wonderful epidural, and the pain had decreased, and all Jace and I had to do was wait for her to finally arrive.

Time Jump – One Hour Later

Clary POV:

"Okay Clary, it's time to push." The doctor said and I couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh thank god." I said and she laughed. Jace stood next to me and held my hand and kissed my forehead.

"When the next contraction hits, I want you to push." She said and I nodded. When the contraction finally hit I pushed as hard as I possibly could. I felt like she was never going to get here. The contraction ended and I stopped pushing. "Okay Clary, I can see you crowning, I need you to give me the biggest push of your life on the next contraction." She said and I nodded again. When the contraction hit I let it out. I screamed on the top of my lungs, and pushed harder than I ever had to push before, and a moment later the soft cries of my baby filled the hospital room. "Congratulations, it's a girl." The doctor said and I started crying.

"I love you more than anything Clary." I heard Jace whisper and I nodded letting him know that I heard him. A moment later the doctor brought a cute little pink bundle of us me and placed my sweet baby girl in my arms.

"Welcome to the world Hannah Herondale." Jace said as he pressed his lips to her head and I smiled. "I love you two so much."

"We love you more than anything." I responded. 15 minutes later the door opened revealing my mom and Justin. You could tell he was hesitant to come any closer.

"Come here little man." Jace said and Justin ran to him. Jace picked him up so that he could see his sister.

"That's my sister?" Justin asked and I smiled.

"Yes, say hello to Hannah." I said and Justin leaned forward and kissed her head.

"Hi Hannah. I love you." Justin said and another tear slipped out of my eye. Jace out his arm around me and Justin sat on his lap. I couldn't be happier with my perfect little family, and I couldn't believe how incredibly lucky I was. Our family may have started out unconventionally but I wouldn't have it any other way.
