"Push, Clary!" The nurse encouraged. "You can do this! The baby is almost out!"
Clary looked up, and saw Jace. He was smiling down at her, wordlessly assuring her she could do this. Clary took one more deep breath and gave a deep breath. Immediately the horrible pain decreased and she heard a small cry fill the room. She looked up at Jace, and smiled, relieved. The nurse came back in, carrying a small pink blanket.
"You are now the proud parents of a baby girl. Weighing seven pounds, nine ounces. And she's twenty one inches long." The nurse announced as she handed the small bundle over to Clary.
Clary took one look into her daughter's eyes, and a tear slid down her cheek. She wiped it away absently, studying her baby girl. She had Clary's green eyes, and Jace's blond hair. A perfect mix. She looked up at Jace, and saw a look of awe on his face also as he looked at their daughter. She moved over in the hospital bed, making room for him to sit down. He sat down wordlessly.
"Would you like to hold her now?" She whispered.
Jace nodded mutely, taking her in his hands. He held her as carefully as he would hold a million dollar antique. Like she was priceless and irreplaceable. Which is exactly what she was. Suddenly, he broke into a big grin and brushed her pink cheek softly.
"She's so beautiful, Clary. She looks so much so much like you." Jace said as he put his other arm around Clary's shoulders.
"I don't know about that." Clary laughed. "I think she looks a lot more like you. But yes, she's so beautiful."
"Clary?" Jace said softly.
"What?" She asked, looking at him.
"What are we going to name her?" He asked, looking suddenly panicked.
Clary laughed. "Relax, Jace. It will come to us."
They both sat there quietly for a moment, looking at their daughter. Clary found herself mesmerized by her eyes. They were so green, like a forest. She was suddenly struck with inspiration for a name.
"What about Jade? Like her eyes." She suggested.
"It's perfect." Jace whispered. "Jade.."
"You pick the middle name." Clary said, smiling.
"What about..Anabelle?" Jace suggested.
"I love it." Clary said.
She looked up at his face, and he bent down to kiss her. After a few moments of this, however, did they remember there was a baby in there arms.
6 months later
Clary looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a white, strapless gown that fit her curves perfectly. Her red hair cascaded down her back in fiery, glossy ringlets. Isabelle came to stand beside her, looking beautiful herself in a deep red gown. They smiled at each other in the reflection.
"Are you ready?" Isabelle asked, putting her hands on Clary's shoulders.
"I've been ready my whole life." Clary said, grinning ear to ear.
"Let's go then." Isabelle said, smiling also, as she handed Clary her white and red bouquet.
They made their way to the entrance of the park, and started walking on the pathway towards Turtle Pond. Clary's breath caught as she saw how beautiful the whole place looked. She had wanted a small wedding, just their close friends and family invited. There were about five rows of chairs, sitting about five each. Clary and Jace's parents sat in the front row, looking teary already. Jade sat between the two grandparents, watching her mother with big eyes. Clary turned her attention towards the gazebo where Jace stood, beside Alec. As soon as he caught her eyes, he smiled a huge grin that almost made her heart melt. She vaguely noticed Isabelle walking down the aisle, looking graceful with ever step. All her attention was on Jace. And, as Luke came up, and intertwined his arm with Clary's, she started her walk down the aisle. After what seemed like forever, her hand was placed in Jace's. He squeezed it gently, and they turned to face the minister.
"It is now time for the speeches this couple has prepared."
Jace turned to face her, smiling briefly. "Clary, we've known each other for as long as I can remember. We were enemies first, when you got mad at me for stealing your Ring Pop. Slowly, we became friends. And as soon as we were friends, we became best friends. And as the years went by, I realized I loved you. I've loved you for over ten years, Clary. And it has not diminished over time. And now, we have a beautiful daughter. I love you, forever and always."
Clary wiped away a stray tear from her face before she cleared her throat. "Jace, I love you so much. I love you for putting up with me, even when I was acting stupid, and stubborn, which I am a lot. I love you for your personality, however arrogant or cocky you may be, you're loving and caring, and smart, and I've never met someone like you. I'll never stop loving you, Jace. You can count on that."
"Do you, Jonathon Christopher Lightwood take Clarissa Ann Morgenstern to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The minister asked as he turned to Jace,
"I do." Jace said, smiling at the minister.
The minister turned to Clary. "Do you, Clarissa Ann Morgenstern take Jonathon Christopher Lightwood to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do." Clary said.
"You may now kiss the bride."
3 months later
Clary sat at the dinner table nervously, waiting for Jace to get home. She had cooked his favorite meal, making sure to get it just right. She looked up at the clock. About three more minutes until he got home-
Her thoughts were caught off by the front door opening and quietly being closed again. Jace came into the dining room, looking almost as nervous as Clary as he saw her sitting there. He slowly took off his jacket and shoes, and sat down across from her.
"Spit it out, Clary." He said, as he studied her.
"I'm pregnant." Clary blurted.
One year later
Clary stood outside the nursery door, watching her little babies sleep. Three months ago, she had had twins. One boy, and one girl. They had decided on the name Daniel Alexander for the boy, and Dakota Renee for the girl. Coincidentally, the boy looked exactly like Jace, with blond hair and golden eyes. Dakota looked exactly like Clary. Closing the door quietly, she felt a pair of arms wind around her waist. She giggled quietly, and turned around to face Jace. She stood up on her tiptoes and kissed him gently on the lips. After a while, the kiss became strong and passionate and needy. Jace picked Clary up, and made his way to their bedroom.
"Eager, aren't we?" Clary asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Very." Jace said as he once again devoured her lips with his own.
As Jace laid Clary down on the mattress, he slowly took off her top. Suddenly, Clary flipped them so she was on top, and got up, and walked out of the door, laughing the whole way.
"What a tease." Jace murmured.
10 months later
Once again, the Lightwoods welcomed another child. They named this girl Julia Skyler. Strangely, she didn't bear much resemblance to her parents as her siblings did. She had light strawberry blond hair, and sky blue eyes. Clary brought her fourth child home from the hospital, and was met with an energetic two year old and two one year olds. Jade came over to her, her green eyes cautious.
"Mommy?"
Clary knelt down so she was eye to eye with the little girl. "Yes, Jade?"
"Can I see the baby?" She asked, smiling. She looks so much like Jace when she smiles like that.
"Of course, honey."
Clary took little Julia from Jace's arms and had Jade sit on the couch. She arranged Jade's arms so they were in a cradle like position, and carefully put Julia in her arms. Jace took one look at her little sister, and smiled a huge grin.
"I love my little sister, Mommy. She looks like you and Daddy."
Clary smiled wordlessly and gathered her oldest daughter into a hug. Some oldest children would get jealous of a growing family, but not her Jade.
6 years later
"Jade, it's time to go to bed." Jace said, in the midst of tickling his oldest daughter.
"Five more minutes, Daddy. Please?" Jade pouted.
"You're a growing girl, Jade. And growing girls need sleep." Jace said, affectionately rubbing her head.
Jade turned to Clary. "Mommy, will you and Daddy tell me a story?"
Clary looked up from her drawing. "Of course, sweetie."
Jade happily skipped to her room, as she made her preparations for bed, Clary and Jace came in just as she was getting under the covers. Clary sat down at the foot of the bed, and Jace knelt at her side.
"What kind of story do you want to hear? A princess story?" Jace asked.
"No." Jade said shaking her curls.
"An animal story?" Clary guessed.
"Nope." Jade said, popping the 'p'
Jace sighed, looking tired. "What would you like to hear?"
Jade smiled wickedly as she took both their hands and intertwined them. "I want to hear the story of how you guys fell in love."
Clary glanced over at Jace, biting her lip as she smiled nervously. Jace just smiled brightly at her. "Well, Jade. I guess it all starts when I stole your Mommy's Ring Pop..."
