Chapter 2
Clary POV
Birth
I wake up at eight in the morning when the smell of pancakes hit my nostrils. Gathering all my strength I managed to get out of bed and walk outside, the smell of pancakes leading my way. I chose to stay in my pajamas only because changing would be a problem since I was nine months pregnant.
My due date had long passed. I was supposed to give birth on the nineth of October but it seems my daughter had other plans because two days later she had yet to come.
Walking into the kitchen I see Alec and Izzy sitting at the island having breakfast and my husband Jace was cooking.
Hearing me come in he turned around and flashes me a smile that makes me go weak in the knees.
"Morning love did you sleep well?" He ask. He turns off the stove and walks over to kiss me and rubbing my stomach.
"It would have been better if your daughter would hurry up and be born." I said slightly annoyed.
I had been praying everyday that my daughter would come but so far nothing happened.
"Don't worry babe I'm sure our little princess would come when she is ready. She is a Herondale after all." Jace said smirking.
We both sit at the island opposite the Lightwoods and we all eat together making light conversation.
After breakfast Alec left to go meet Magnus. They were travelling to go meet a woman named Sara. She is a shadowhunter who is pregnant and chose to put her child up for adoption. Since Alec and Magnus both want to start a family she choose to let them adopt her child and was due soon.
Once we finish eating Jace and I go back to our room so he can help me get dressed since my petite frame and pregnant belly make thing a little difficult.
I lay in bed rubbing my stomach when I feel Jace lay next to me. He kisses my stomach and started talking to our daughter something he has done since we first found out we were having a baby.
I could feel her kicking in response to hearing her dads' voice and I sware the pair have full conversations with each other.
"So princess when will you decide to grace us with your presence?" Jace asked our daughter. To which she just kicked in response to.
Jace POV
I had been freaking out since Clary told me she was pregnant. It's not that I don't want kids, it's just that I am not sure if I will be a good father it's not like I had a good role model growing up.
When we found out that we were having a girl I think my heart stopped for a second. At first I was terrified but now I am kind of excited for my princess to arrive.
I was laying in bed with Clary rubbing her stomach when she suddenly jumped.
"Clary are you ok?" I ask her.
She tells me to help her get up and right as she stands a puddle forms on the floor and we both know her water has broken.
The next few minutes fly by as if I were in a movie. Once minute we are in our room and the next I am rushing Clary down the hall to the infirmary. Izzy shows up and says she contacted Maryse, Luke and Jocelyn and they are on their way.
Clary goes into labour rather quickly. It only takes an hour before she is ready to give birth. After another hour and a half of intense screaming and Clary threatening to cut my junk off our baby girl finally arrives screaming at the top of her lungs.
Once the doctor cleans her up and takes whatever measurements they bring her over to us and lay her on Clarys' chest.
"She is so beautiful Jace" Clary says tears running down her face.
I fell tears on my own as well. Looking at my daughter I feel a burst of love for her and pride for my amazing wife who gave birth to her.
"She is just like her mother" I say kissing them both on the head.
By now she has calmed down and is just laying contently. She has patches of Clarys' fiery red hair but when she opens her eyes we see that she has my golden orbs.
I reach over and play with her tiny hand and she grabs my pointer finger in her little hand holding it and I knew if I died now I would be eternally happy.
We are interrupted by a knock on the down and Izzy, Maryse, Jocelyn and Luke all walk in.
"Oh look at my beautiful grandbaby" Maryse says.
She and Jocelyn both crowd around Clary looking at her. Luke comes up to me and hugs me saying how happy he is for us before going to Clary.
"Where is Alec and Magnus?" I ask Izzy.
"I called him to tell them but you will never guess what happened. He said Sara went into labour a few minutes after they arrived and she was not due for another week." Izzy says.
"Two grand babies in one day this is amazing. Do they know the gender?" Maryse asks.
"He said he would call when the baby came." She said.
Just as she spoke her phone rang and it was Alec calling on video call.
"Hey guys" I say.
"Hey everyone we wanted to introduce you to our son. This is Rafael Lightwood-Bane or Rafe for short." Alec said turning the phone to show Magnus holding a baby boy with dark brown hair wrapped in a blue blanket.
After everyone said their congrats to them they asked to see our daughter.
"This is our daughter Nyssanna Alexandra Herondale" Clary said.
I could see how touched Alec was that we named her after him and I was glad.
"It's amazing that they were born on the same day even through they had different due dates." Isabelle said.
A part of me does find it strange but I guess that's how things work out. Alec hung up so they could get ready to come home and everyone else left once Nyssa started crying and Clary decided to feed her.
Once she was feed i took her so Clary could rest and burped and changed her. I sit on the chair holding my little girl, looking at my beautiful wife and I couldn't stop thinking about how happy I was. I truly am the luckiest man in the world.
