This is the last chapter! But don't worry, I am doing a sequel about Clary's pregnancies and her and Jace raising Nathaniel, Katerina and someone else... Lots of love, Alexandra Grace:)

Nathaniel's P.O.V.

I cried myself to sleep in my waiting cell. Katerina had betrayed me and I had been sentenced to 3 years in jail. I had loved her with all my heart, and she had ruined me. She was just like our mother and I hated her. As soon as I get out of here I am going to make her life a living hell, I promised myself.

Kat's P.O.V.

3 weeks later

I smiled at my cousins and my boyfriend as they crowded around my hospital bed. Amatis was the first person to mention Nathaniel, and even his name made me shudder, but being with them made everything okay. Rafael was talking about Jayden, the guy he met at acting camp, but I wasn't really paying attention. I was too busy looking at all the amazing people surrounding me. They had all been there for me even at my lowest point, and Amatis and Becca's parents -my uncle Simon and aunt Izzy- had even offered to adopt me. And, even more importantly than that, they always told me all the latest gossip, because of them, I knew that Jia and Austin had broken up after Jia had caught him making out with Seelie, Mr Hodge had been arrested for robbing an antiquities museum of a precious goblet and that Ryan had gotten suspended for swearing at Mrs Branwell. All of which was crucial knowledge, that I would have been devastated if I hadn't known. I saw fingers snap in front of my face, and Rafael said my name.

" Hmm? " I said looking at him. He sighed with frustration.

" I was asking you if you thought I should ask JayJay out, " he said with a look of mock hurt on his face.

" Well considering you already call him 'JayJay' I think that you two are probably close enough for you to ask, " I said laughing at the nickname.

" Haha, " he said sarcastically, which only made me laugh more.

Brandon looked at his phone and frowned.

" I have to go Kitty, " he said and showed me the time, it was 5 and he had to be home at 5:30 for dinner. I nodded in understanding and he bent down to kiss me. At this there was a bit of Ooooohing from Becca and Amatis, and Max promptly told us to get a room. I laughed at this as I said goodbye to Brandon. When he left Max and Rafe said their goodbyes as well, as uncle Alec and uncle Magnus entered the room. Just before they left uncle Magnus turned to face me.

" Get better soon, biscuit, " he said before he turned on his heel and left.

I was nervous now, aunt Izzy and uncle Simon were coming in to pick Amy and Becca up and I hadn't seen them since they offered to adopt me, and I didn't know how to properly thank them. They came in a minute later and aunt Isabelle had a present in her hands. Amatis and Rebecca started arguing about who the present was for when Izzy came and placed it in my hands. I looked at her confused.

" I can't except this, you've already done enough for me, I don't want to be a burden on you, " I said and tried to give it back, but Isabelle refused to take it.

" Just open it, it's for you. " I gave in and opened it. I was confused at first, it was just a stack of papers with official looking stuff on them that I didn't understand. But as I started to read them words on the page started to jump out at me. Adoption, Katerina Isabelle Morgenstern, Isabelle and Simon Lovelace, approved. Millions of thoughts swirled around my head at once. I knew they had offered to adopt me, but it seemed like something distant, and unreachable. I had always figured that it would never really happen.

" All you have to do is sign there and then you will be apart of our family, " uncle Simon said, pointing to a line at the bottom of the page. He handed me a pen and I signed my name as neatly as I could, luckily my left wrist was fractured, not my right. Aunt Izzy and uncle Simon hugged me, followed by Amatis and Rebecca. I smiled, looking around me at my new family, feeling more loved than I ever had when I was with Nathaniel.

One week later

Becca wheeled me into my new home for the first time and I looked up at her, laughing as she told me a joke. I may have two broken legs, a fractured ankle, three broken ribs and a fractured hand, but I swear that I am the happiest girl in the world. Amy took the wheelchair off her sister and took me to our room. I was going to have the guest bedroom, but Amatis had convinced her parents to let us share. I walked in and immediately fell in love with it. It definitely wasn't as big as my old room, but it felt cosy, like home. Amatis looked nervous and after a while she asked if I liked it, I smiled.

" It's perfect. "

2 days later

I opened the door and I was greeted by Brandon, he smiled at me and then bent down to kiss my cheek. I smiled up at him from my wheelchair, my ribs had basically healed and my wrist didn't have it's cast anymore, just a sling but my legs were definitely still broken. I wheeled myself out the door and then Brandon wheeled me the rest of the way to the park. We sat on the swings and talked for what felt like hours, until it was dark and we had to go back. He dropped me off at my house and I was about to say goodnight when he crouched down to my level and took my hands in his. I was about to ask him what he was doing when he started to speak.

" Kitty, ever since I met you I knew you were the girl for me. You are like a little ball of sunshine despite everything that has happened to you, and I hope that you will be by my side forever because I can't picture my life without you. I just wanted you to know that... I love you, and I will love you forever. " I smiled at him and tears of happiness started to roll down my cheeks, he was the love of my life and he had been with me through thick and thin.

" I love you too, " I said and we kissed, -for what seemed like hours but was probably only a few minutes- until the porch lights came on and uncle Simon came out looking slightly grossed out.

" Okay, I think it's time for you to go Brandon, " he said and Brandon gave me another quick kiss on the lips and said goodnight, heading towards the bus stop. I sighed and gave uncle Simon a stern look.

" Why did you have to make him leave? We were having fun! "

" I could tell, " uncle Simon said, chuckling to himself. I rolled my eyes at him as he wheeled me back inside, where dinner was waiting.

~THE END~
