I am so sorry I haven't updated in a while but I was on a cruise with my family over New Years. I hope you enjoy this chapter and please review! I especially want constructive criticism because this is only the second FanFiction I've ever written.

Ages: Clary, 16 -8 and a half months pregnant- Jace, 17

Clary's P.O.V.

I rooted around in my carrier bag for something to draw on, I was desperate to get pen to paper before the image was gone. It spoke of purity and cleansing of evil and it had been toying at the corners of my mind the entire ride home on the L train. I found a scrappy old receipt from the comic book store and hastily drew the image that was burned into my brain. It was a combination of sharp, angular lines that spoke of all hate and impurities of this world and others, while the softer, rounded lines showed all the goodness and kindness that this world holds. When I finished I instantly knew what it was meant for, it was like the sword I had used just a little time ago to separate Sebastian and Jace -anyone that touched it would be judged, if they were more good than evil they would survive, but if not it would burn away all that was bad about them, and the being would die within a few minutes- and I also knew exactly where to put it.

Jace's P.O.V.

I was in the kitchen trying to convince Izzy that Clary didn't need some fish and lentil soup to help her and the babies grow when Clary came running in panting and out of breath.

" I created a rune that can kill demons! " She said panting, she must have ran from the subway station all the way to here.

" Are you sure? " Izzy asked.

" Yes, I'm sure! " Clary said looking annoyed, " contact the Clave and request a meeting, we have a lot to discuss. "

~One Week Later~

I traced the final lines of my new rune on the wards centre in Wrangel Island, I put all her determination and strength into the rune, leaving myself breathless and sapped of energy. But the real test was yet to come, the Clave were about to use the cup and the sword to summon demons through the wards to test the theory that the rune would kill them.

The fact that they had brought a large group of highly skilled shadow hunters equipped with enough weapons to stock an army was definitely not making me feel like they believed me. The Consul took the Cup and the Sword in his hands and started chanting in a low guttural tone. I saw the demons approaching from the distance, they were Ravenors and there was about a dozen of them. I saw them pass through the wards and I felt my heart sink to my feet as I saw the shadow hunters around me get into a fighting formation. Then, all of a sudden, the demons started to implode, folding in on themselves until there was nothing to be seen but a small green patch of grass where they once stood. All at once people started cheering and hugging the people around them as they realised what this meant; the war was finally over, no more demons meant no more death or pain. I turned around and Jace was already there, embracing me in a warm hug.

" You did it! " He whispered into my hair and I smiled; I really did it!

All of a sudden I felt a stabbing pain in my abdomen, followed by something that I had been to enough birthing classes to recognise as a contraction. Jace must have felt my body tense because he let go of me and sat me down on one of the steel benches cast into the ground near the wards.

" What's wrong? " He asked, a look of concern on his face.

" Nothing, I think it was just a contraction, " I said trying to sound calm and collected. Jace muttered a string of curse words under his breath that I would not care to repeat, and then started pacing on the sidewalk.

" Stop it you're stressing me out! " I said watching him walk up and down the path looking more freaked out than I had ever seen him look before.

" Just call an ambulance, " Alec said.

" I'm on the line with them now, " Izzy pitched in. Great, even Alec and Izzy were more prepared than us! A few minutes later I was being piled into an ambulance, while the paramedics looked at Jace, Alec, Izzy and I with confusion. I could understand what it looked like; four teenagers in the middle of nowhere wearing all black with strange tattoos, and not to mention one of them was about to have a baby. The old, mundane Clary would have been freaked out too. Lucky everyone else had glamoured themselves. I saw the Ambulance doors close and then I felt another sharp pain and everything went black.

~5 Hours Later~

I woke up in a hospital room, with a feeling of déjà vu. That's when I saw Jace holding two babies in his arms, I felt something wet on my cheek and I realised I had started crying.

" Jace. "

" Meet our beautiful baby boys, " he said, walking over and placing them in my lap.

" You blacked out so they had to perform a C-Section on you, " Jace said while I cradled my boys in my arms, " they were born 2 hours ago. "

" What should we name them? " I asked, smiling up at Jace.

" I want them to have strong names, but you should decide, you're their mother, " I nodded in agreement.

" How about Nathaniel, for baby A... and Harrison for baby B? "

" I love it! " I felt a wave of relief wash over me.

" You should pick the middle names, " I said, confident I could trust him not to pick something like Rocket or Tree.

" If it's alright with you, I don't think they should have middle names, I mean I don't and I'm fine. "

" Of course! " I said, and I meant it. Baby B -I mean Harrison- started crying.

" Welcome to parenthood! " Jace said laughing.

Harrison had green eyes and a small tuft of straight red hair on top of his head that wiggled slightly as I moved him. Jace took Nathaniel and his curly, white-blond hair bobbled up and down, just like his brothers.

" Clary! " Jace said looking serious all of a second.

" What! Is Nathaniel okay?! " I said feeling as if everything good in the world was gone.

" Yes! No...It's just, I could have sworn his eyes were black before, that's all, " he said, sounding nervous.

" Of course they aren't black! I said, " They are green! Just because his eyes were black, doesn't mean that our beautiful boys have black eyes. Don't be idiotic. " I said, angry at Jace for considering for even one second that my boys were anything less than perfect.

Just then the door opened and half of the New York Institute poured into the room, as well as Simon, Maia, Jordan, Magnus and Luke. Magnus spoke first,

" Well my little biscuit, you've caused quite an uproar in Idris. People have very mixed feelings about the rune you created. " Alec slapped Magnus on the shoulder.

" Congratulations on your babies, is what he meant to say, " Alec said, apologising profusely.

" It's okay, " I said acknowledging Alec briefly before turning back to Magnus.

" Why don't they like the rune? It kills demons as soon as they enter our wards. " I said, feeling confused and overwhelmed.

" Shadow Hunters have been killing demons for as long as they have existed. They don't know any other way of life, many of them are scared about the future. You cannot blame them, what are they going to do now that there aren't any demons to kill? " I was stumped at that, I hadn't been a Shadow Hunter that long but even to me, the thought of becoming just like a mundane seemed fundamentally wrong. I heard a loud shrill voice cut through my thoughts and I realised Harrison was crying.

" Okay everyone, out! I need time with my bubbas. " Everyone exited muttering protests under their breath and I was left alone with Nathaniel and Harry. After I fed Harry and Nathaniel I fell asleep, but my dreams were filled with nightmares of Sebastian's piercing black eyes. I guess what Jace had said had affected me after all.
