-3 Months Later-

"Come on, Clary," I inhale. "You can do this."

I knock on the door, wincing.

A familiar face is standing in front of me. The light brown eyes framed my thick, nerdy glasses. The bush of curly dark brown hair.

"Clare?" Simon's eyes are wide. "Is that actually you?"

There are tears in my eyes when I nod. He grins and picks me up. We spin around in circles for a little while before a 5 months pregnant Isabelle comes out.

"Oh!" She exclaims, taking in the sight of us. "Clary! Do you know Simon?"

"Does she know me?" Simon turns around, surprised. "We used to be best friends, Izzy. I moved to Alaska when we were about 13. Then, my family moved here. I never thought that I'd find her here! Wait, do you guys know each other?"

"Yeah! I moved into the house across from her. We became best friends. My brother got her pregnant so we've become super close."

When Isabelle mentions the pregnant thing, Simon's eyes widen and immediately dart to my stomach. I chuckle.

"That was 6 years ago." I smile.

Simon's doing the math in his head and when he finishes, he gapes.

"You got pregnant at 16?"

I nod, blushing.

"Wow, Clary," he shakes his head. "You haven't grown at all."

I laugh and smack him on the shoulder. Izzy's grinning at us.

"Well introducing you guys to each other won't be a problem, now, will it?"

We chuckle and walk inside.


"So," I ask, sipping my hot chocolate, due to the cold January weather. "Do you know if it's a girl or a boy?"

"It's a girl," Izzy squeals excitedly. I sorta feel bad for the little girl. Isabelle's going to be constantly dragging her to shopping trips. She'll learn to love it though. She has no choice, with Isabelle as a mom. Charlotte and Jordyn love them too. Isabelle takes them shopping every weekend, dammit.

"Any names yet?"

"Emma. Simon loves it so we picked it."

I grin. Emma: Charlotte's middle name and the name of her cousin. Amazing. I can just picture their child. Emma Lightwood-Lewis.

"So," Simon clears his throat. "How about you, Clary? How is your kid?"

Isabelle is trying to hold in laughter. I laugh freely.

"Correction: children."

Simon almost chokes on his hot chocolate.

"You've had more than one?"

I grin.

"Actually, I had twins. It was totally unexpected."

"Are you serious?"

I nod.

"So, what are their names?" He asks, cocking an eyebrow.

"Charlotte and Jordyn."

"They're absolutely precious!" Izzy squeals. "With their long, blonde hair and their small faces. Not to mention those eyes. Damn, I didn't think that golden eyes weren't a recessive gene."

"Golden eyes?" Simon exclaims. "Dammit, Clary. What kinda guy did you marry?"

"Ah, ah, ah. I didn't marry him."

"So you're a single mom?"

I shake my head.

"Nope. We live together and all. But we're not married. Not even engaged."

"You guys have two children and you're not married?"

I shake my head, placing my hot mug down.

"Damn. So what does he do for a living?"

"He's a football player."

"Oh, what's his name?"

"Jace Herondale."

Once again, Simon chokes on his tea.

"The Jace Herondale? Blonde hair, all the girls love him?"

I nod, glancing at Iz. She's trying to hold her laughter in.

"Wow, Clare. I've missed a whole lot."

"No shit," Isabelle and I snort in sync. We wink at each other. Simon watches this exchange, shaking his head.

"I'll never get girls."


I sit on the couch, channel surfing pointlessly.

Jace walks in and plops next to me. He snuggles his nose into my hair.

"Hey, babe," he says.

"Hey there," I sigh, flipping through more channels.

"How'd the visit to Izzy go?"

I sit up, suddenly attentive.

"Okay, okay, okay. So they're having a girl!" I squeal like Isabelle did when she told me the news.

"Really?" Jace sounds excited.

I nod frantically.

"So what're they naming her?"

I've been waiting for this question.

"Okay, okay, okay. So, get this. They're naming her Emma, baby. Emma."

"Wow," Jace shakes his head. "What a coincidence."

"I know right!" I laugh.

Jordyn walks through the door.

"Mommy!" She looks at me.

"Yes, baby?"

"Charlie and I want to go to the supermarket," she says the last word carefully, as if not to trip over her words.

"Sure, sweetie. You guys grab your jacket and let's go." I get up. Then, I turn to Jace.

"You coming, Daddy?" I smirk.

He grins back and presses his lips to mine while he gets up. Jordyn, who's still in the room, groans and storms out.
