Chapter 8
Jace POV
"Hey, it will be okay." I say cradling Clary as she cries. I've see her go through a lot of pain and she has never cried this much it worries me.
"I want this baby, but I don't want to give birth." She whispers into my chest and cries more; her stomach is swollen, and she is supposed to be due in a week but then this morning Maryse declared she was in labour.
"Honey just stays calm." Maryse says entering the room with some white gloves on
"How long will it take?" I ask, it pains me to see Clary so upset and hurt. Her eyes are red and splotchy, and her hands are shaking.
"Not long now, it's on it's way." She says and helps Clary into an awkward position, she squeezes my hand so hard I almost yell out in pain
Maryse was right, about three hours later Clary is hugging me and cooing at our tiny little baby girl.
Clary POV
My mind is a little foggy from all the pain that I went through two weeks ago. All I can remember is Jace holding my hand and then this beautiful little girl coming into view and she made all the pain worth it. We named her Lauri, she has my eyes but everything else down to her perfect blonde fuzz is from Jace.
"She'll be stunning when she's older." Jace says coming up behind me and wrapping his arms round my waist. I lean back into his touch a bit. I'm sprawled out on the couch with Lauri in my arms
"How can you be so sure?" I ask and twist to look at him. His closeness shocks me a bit, I still can't warp my head around it
"She looks like me." He says with a big smirk on his face. I reach up on my toes and kiss him, my fingers tangle in my hair and I hear Lauri giggle a little bit as if feeling my happiness.
I twist to pick her up. I stroke the back of her head while Jace tickles her perfect little feet. When she laughs she balls her tiny hands into fists and curls her toes. Her eyes crinkling as she giggles and her perfect pink lips curving upwards.
TWO YEARs LATER
Lauri is crawling and sometimes walking before she falls over, her balance is a bit wobbly still. Izzy brushes out her long blonde curls. She looks at me with big eyes and then looks at my big stomach. I'm nearly due and my back hurts way more than with Lauri so I can't play with her as much.
'Momma." Lauri says and claps her hands together and giggles a bit which make me smile, it still worries me a bit how fast she is learning
L has begun moving very fast these days, so somebody must watch her at all times and because of her very little patience, just like her father, she is always on the move. Jace comes up behind me and twists his hands in my hair, I would normally turn but my enormous stomach won't allow it. Jace is sure the baby is a boy but I feel like it isn't, I'm not sure it's a girl but a boy doesn't feel right.
"Did Maryse check you today?" Jace asks, his hands still stroking through my hair and I can hear the worry in his voice. He is worried for me which makes my heart melt
"Yeah, she said it can't be too far away." I groan a little at the thought of giving birth again
"Don't worry cause after our little boy is born there is nothing stopping us from having –" I whack him hard before he can say that word in front of L , but I still smile a little and I can picture the smirk on his face and I can see Izzy's lips curve up a bit
"How are you so sure it's a boy?" I ask for the thousandth time and roll my eyes. "I'm the one carrying her or him."
That night the pain comes, and I remember L's labour all over again like it was yesterday.
Jace stays by me the whole time and a couple hours later Maryse says its close
"Not long now sweetie." Maryse says
About five minutes later Maryse hand our new little baby boy to Jace not me. "Honey you're having twins." She explains, and I watch Jace hold our little child
Turns out it wasn't twins it was triplets. Jace sits next to me holding our two little baby boys, Asher and Finn. I'm holding Rowan my second perfect baby girl. They were all sleeping soundly for awhile but as soon as one started crying the other two did as well.
Lauri comes in to meet them but it's very late, so she doesn't stay long before Maryse takes her off to bed.
I wake up to a screeching alarm and the triplets start crying. "Jace!" I yell. He comes rushing in quickly, with L in tow.
"It's an alarm some demons have escaped." He says looking flustered he quickly kisses me on the lips and then the tops of the triplet's heads and hugs L goodbye. "I'm so sorry." He says hurriedly and then rushes out the door while I watch after him holding three screaming babies and L sitting on the floor looking like she's about to burst into tears.
