ok, so here's another chapter! finally got Libre to work, still hate the formatting though...(sorry about it, really)Anyhow, hope you like it. Sorry of it's a fast read, but something's better than nothing :}D
We stepped out of the portal and I breathed in the air. You never realize how much you miss something
until you see it again. And boy, did I ever miss this air. At least, the air in the park.
Sam breathed deeply and said, "So, where are we again?" "Well, it all depends on who you ask. I use to
come here with Simon when we were little with our moms and played. This was actually where I met him. But it's
also close to the secret entrance to the Fairy Court, and not too far from where Shadow Hunters like to train.
And, actually, it's not Central Park, but it's the park everyone loves to come to." (AN-I wasn't too sure about
this part, so just pretend that this is Central Park, but a WHOLE lot bigger:with a lake in the middle. I'm too
lazy to look up a real place. )
His eyes widened . "Wow. It sounds huge." I nod. "Yep, it is. Come on, we gotta keep walking for a bit." So
we walk until we got to this old swing that Simon and I use to play on all the time when we were little. I told him
about Simon while we waited. He thought it was "wickedly amazing" that Si was the almost clone of Adreona. Of
course, anytime we spoke of her, I instantly felt like crying. She had been my rock, and I hers. OK Clary, quite
thinkin' about her and think about Simon.
"C-Clary?" My head whipped around and I gasped. There, about ten feet from me, was a boy. His hair was
longer than last time I saw him, but that was the only difference. I shrieked, "SIMON!" and ran to him. He met me
half way and lifted me in the air and span me. Oh my god! He smelt just the same! I didn't realize how much I
had been hurting since I left! Being here, in my best friend's arms, made me feel totally and completely happy
and loved.
Simon nuzzled my neck and whispered, "I've missed you so much Clary." "I've missed you too Simon." He set
me back on the ground, but kept a hold of my hand as he appraised me. "Damn girl, you look sexy as hell!" I
laughed as he gently twirled me so he could see my back also. I said sarcastically, "Oh yes! Left over baby flab is
such a turn on! You look just the same. You're hair's longer though." He smirked and rolled his eyes.
I pulled Si towards Sam and said, "Simon, this is my friend Sam. Sam, this is Simon, the Daylighter." They
shook hands and Sam said, "So, Simon, you got any embarrassing stories of Roe?" Smiling, he says, "Oh yeah. I'll
tell you later. Hey, Clary, should I call you Roe?" I didn't care, so he just said that he'd call me Clary.
"OK, there's some things that you need to know before we can go any further with this. Um, Simon, I think
you should sit down." He does and Sam and I sit with him. I take a deep breath and begin my story. Well, just
the basics and need-to-knows.
"OK, so, um, the easiest way to start off is by telling you that I don't...just have a kid. I technically have four.
But only three are my birth children. My first born is Elliot Nickolas. Then you got Simon Quin. And yes, I named
him after you. My third child is my baby girl Melody Grace. And then, I have Lillian Adreona. Lilly's my friend's
kid...but she died having her. So, I took her in and have been raising her as my own. Um, next month the trips
will turn two and in two months, Lilly will be one. Hold on. Sam, do you have a picture of the kids?"
He nods and gets it out of his wallet and hands it to Simon. Who, by the way, looks like his eyes are about to
pop out of his head. Sam points out the kids for him and I continue."So, yeah. My kids. And, um, next there's the
whole disappear thing. See, Robert-Izzy's dad- helped me out back then. When I ran away, he got in contact
with some old friends and they said that I could live with them. He's been the only one that I've kept contact
with. Him and Magnus, but I'll explain where he fits in later. Robert's helped me so much. Like, when I left, he
took me to the Clave and I got my name changed. Well, not technically, but still. Clarissa Rowena Fray is alive,
but no one knows it. Um, that's confusing. Here, let me put it like this. If the Clave need me, they'll send for
Rowena Carter. And all my kids have the last name Fray, so...yeah."
I took a deep breath and nodded to myself. Simon was still trying to understand everything. "So, let me get
this straight. You don't have a child, you have three. Technically four. And you're still Clary Fray, but you're also
Rowena Carter." I nod, hoping that I haven't shocked him too bad.
He took a deep breath and nodded. "OK. Anything else?" I bit my lip. "Well...yes. See, you know how I have
angel blood in me? Well, um, not only does it let me create new runes, but, well, being the angel girl comes
with...extras. Like, I can read the words of heaven-Angelic. And I have some other abilities. But nothing that I
can say yet. I'll show you later. I just told the others about my angel blood just this morning anyhow, so don't
feel left out. But other than that, I think I told you all the basics. Four kids, name change-kinda-and new powers.
That's it. You good Si?"
He smiles widley. "Yep. Can I go meet my nieces and nephews now?" I laughed and stand up. "Sure. Let's go
boys." Simon picked up a duffel bag that I hadn't noticed and I pulled out my stele. I've learned how to make
portals out of thin air now.
We stepped threw and Sam stretched his arms up over his head and breathed deeply saying, "It's good to be
home!" I laughed. "Yeah. I forgot how clear the air is here compared to NY. So, Si, here it is. Well, this is the back
yard. Come on, let's get you introduced to everyone."
Sam says, "Hold up. Roe, we're not in our yard. We're in the woods by the interstate. We gotta run." Crap! He
was right. "Oh well. Y'all wanna race?" I got two devilish smirks and nods. "First one there wins. Second and last
has to wash dishes tonight. Ready? Set? GO!"
I took off. First, I glamored myself. Then, I let myself go. One of the perks of my angel blood was about to
make itself shown. Power and pure freedom coursed threw me as my wings came free. Yes, you heard me.
Wings. They were huge, white, glowing, feathery wings. You see, well, only two people other than me even
knew about my wings. Robert and Magnus.
Anyhow, my wings unfolded and I took off into the sky. Oh how it felt! I hadn't been able to go out flying in
over a month. Now, I can't believe that I lasted that long. Flying was like no other experience in the world. When
you're in the air, you feel like nothing can harm you. All your worldly problems just disappeared. Nothing
mattered. It took about two seconds in the air to spot the Instatute, and another three to get there. I landed,
pulled back my wings, and went inside to wait for the boys. Lucas saw me and said, "Where's your friend and
Sam?" "Well, when we portaled back here, I miscalculated and we were in the forest by the interstate. So, we
decided to race. And I won."
"How? I mean, isn't your friend the Daylighter?" "Yep. I'll explain when they get here. I gotta, um, tell
everyone something else. The kids in the play room?" He nodded and I went upstairs. The first thing I heard as I
had taken the first step on the stairs was a knock at the door. Sighing, I went to get it, knowing who it'd be.
Simon was smirking nervously until he realized it was me. "How did you-?" "I'll tell ya later. Now come on. I
want to introduced my kids to their uncle Si." He smiled. I took his hand and we jogged up the stairs. When we
got outside the playroom, I whispered, "Wait here for just a second." he nods and I go in the room.
Elliot was the first to see me. He screamed, "Momma!" His twins turned and broke into huge grins and yelled,
"Mommy!" And, "Momma!" Lilly just screamed happily from the changing table. The Trips (AN-cute little
nickname for the triplets, isn't it? Ha ha) all ran towards me and grabbed my legs, making me fall. I laughed
when Maddy sat Lilly down and she crawled her way over to me. I laughed and scooped Lilly up in my arms.
Looking up at Maddy, I say, "They good?" "As always. Where's your friend?" Simon tugged my pants and looked
at me curiously. "Momma have fwend?" "Yes baby, momma has a friend. Kids, I want you to meet one of my
friends that I love as dearly as you all. Uncle Simon, you can come in now."
love? hate? want a taco? tell me what ya think :)
