A/N: I know I said it was over, but I really felt the need to give you guys a call Epilogue, so here it is. By the way the Epilogue takes place five years later.
Epilogue: New Peace
Magnus POV
Alec and I are sitting in our living room watching Max and Raphael play. It's almost time for Max to start preschool, just a couple more weeks. And Rafi goes to daycare while we're at work.
Alec is the CEO of some major company and I'm a well known fasion designer. It's hard to believe that we've been married for the last four years. For awhile there I had thought his parents would never approve of us, but they eventually came around.
"Alec darling, it's time to go," I call to him impatiently.
"Alright you get Max and Rafi in the car and I'll be along shortly," he replied.
I grab the kids and put them in the car. After buckling them in, I get in the car and soon enough Alec gets in too. Clary and Jace are babysitting for us while we go out.
We're heading to a small Italian restaurant, in fact, the one we went to for our first date. I have to tell him something really important.
We finally got to Clary and Jace's house and I had Alec take the boys in. While I waited, I tried to think of a plausible way to tell him. However, before I could reach my conclusion, he came back out.
"So, are Clary and Jace sure they can handle them for tonight?" I ask.
"Actually, Jace is the only one there at this moment. Clary is doing the same thing she does every weekend," he said softly.
"I see. She still hasn't stopped after all these years. Any other woman would have given up by now, but not her," I murmured sadly, to which Alec only nodded.
And, with that sad sentiment, we were off. The restaurant wasn't far, so it was only a few minutes before we got there.
As we stepped inside and were shown to a table, I worried about how to break the news to him. And, then finally I just blurted it out.
"I got a promotion! I'm now manager of the company! Isn't that great!" I said with way too much enthusiasm.
Weirdly enough, he reacted with the same amount of enthusiasm.
"That's so amazing! I knew it would happen eventually! You are so talented that they'd be crazy not to promote you!" he exclaimed.
Meanwhile
Izzy POV
I glanced down at my ring finger over and over again. My engagement ring was there, and usually I would be fiddling with it, but I don't want Simon to think there is something wrong.
"So, umm Simon, I need to tell you something," I said.
"What is it?" he asks patiently.
"Well, I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm pregnant with your child," I say as quickly as possible.
"Iz, that's amazing!" he screeches, breaking into a grin.
Simon POV
I'm going to be a Dad. First the woman of my dreams agrees to marry me, then I find out we're going to have a kid. This is the best month of my life.
"Izzy, were you actually worried about telling me this?" I ask.
"A little," she said honestly.
"I can't say I understand why you were worried bit thank you for getting part that worry and telling me," I say gently. "Now how far along are you?"
"Two maybe two and a half months," she replied.
"When did you find out?"
"A couple of days ago."
"I'm so glad you told me so soon Iz."
"I'm glad too Si."
"I love you Iz."
"I love you too Simon."
Jocelyn Pov (bet you didn't expect that one)
Originally I didn't approve of any of it. What my daughter was planning on doing every weekend, but I had no choice in the matter since she got emancipated. I also didn't initially like her relationship with Jace and neither did Celine, but after seeing them together we decided it was alright.
Earlier today Celine and I went over to their apartment and checked up on them before Clary left. Then we went for lunch at a Noodles Company down the road from our home. I've been up in my room and Celine in hers since then. I'm waiting on Clary's call to let me know that she's alright.
Clary POV (one of the three you've all been waiting for)
I sat across from Jonathan (whose name is now legally Sebastian) as he tells me about how week was. I've been coming here every Saturday to see him since he and Dad got locked up for what they did to me and what Dad to those other women. I felt horrible when they got put away, after all they are my family, but ultimately I had to let it happen.
"Oh by the way, they're letting me out on parole in a few weeks," he said casually, as though it was no big deal.
"Really that's amazing!" I exclaimed overjoyed.
"Yeah, it's great isn't it. Anyway, how are you and Jace doing?"
"We're doing great. In fact, between you and me, I think he might propose soon."
"That's great!"
"I know!"
"Ma'am, you're time with Sebastian is over for today," said a guard.
"Ok then. Bye Seb."
"Bye Clare."
The same guard said, "Are you ready for us to bring him in?"
"Yeah, bring him in," I said, my voice hardening.
The guard left and came back in with my father, Valentine Morgenstern. They sat in him in the chair behind the glass and handed him the phone.
"Hi Dad," I began. "I'm back again this week. I know you probably don't care, since you probably hate me, but on the off chance some part of you still cares I'm going to tell you how my week went." I went through telling him nearly every detail of my week. "That's it for this week. Oh and Dad, even though he won't admit it, I know Jonathan misses you and so do I. So, I guess I just wanted to let you know that we still love and care about you and that you're always on my mind."
I smile at him before the guard takes him back to his cell. Most people would hate him, but I just can't. All I can do is feel bad for him. But, now I have to go home.
Sebastian POV (Another of the 3)
After all these years, I'm finally going to be able to leave. I'm going to be able to see my sisters wedding. Sure she hasn't actually said she's getting married, but with the way things are going it won't be too long now until she is. I'm so glad she stayed with Jace, he cares for her so much and she couldn't have chosen anyone better to be with, and that is the truth. Well, at least I'll finally get to see the outside world again.
Valentine POV (bet you didn't expect this one either)
She should hate me, it's what I deserve. Instead she visits me every week and tells me she loves and cares about me and that she's always thinking about me. I don't deserve her. After all I've done she still cares.
I'll admit when I first landed in prison I didn't see it that way, in fact I hated her. But, now I finally understand the pain I've caused her. Pain that she didn't deserve. She thinks I don't notice the starts on her arms crossed by my physical and psychological ham to her. I'll never forgive myself. It's why I never talk to her when she comes. I've failed as her father, and I'll never be able to atone for it. My only hope is that she will be happy.
Alec
I don't know why, but Magnus just looks so cute that I could kiss him. On instinct I do, and his supposed have is almost enough to make me pull back, but then he starts kissing me back and it's worth it. The kids are staying with Izzy and Simon tonight, since Jace is passing them off to them right before Clary gets home. That leaves us free to sit on our couch and do whatever we want for the rest of the night.
Jace (the final person you've been waiting for)
I hear the front door open and get ready for Clary to come in. Sure enough she walks through the door in a better mood then usual.
"Jace I've got great news, Sebastian's getting let out on parole in a few weeks," she should happily.
"That's great!" I say with the same amount of enthusiasm.
She kisses me and sets her stuff down. Then, much to my surprise, she tells me to sit down. I comply, and watch as she gets down on one knee and pulls out a little box.
"Jace Herondale, will you marry me?" she asks.
"Aren't I supposed to be the one doing that?" I ask.
"No, I am. Now is that a yes or no asshat?" she replys, as fiery as ever.
"It's a yes," I say
"Good," she says, before kissing me with all she has. Yep, that's Red always making the first move. I suppose this really is a new beginning.
