I am finally continuing this story! I know, I know, it's been a year, I'm sorry, I was busy. But I'm back now. I am going to make the chapters more detailed and I am going to do less time jumps I promise! Anyway, let's continue with the story :)

Jace's P.O.V.

I heard a scream from upstairs and a sense of dread filled me. What had Nathanial done now? Whatever it was it wasn't good. I raced up the stairs, my feet pounding almost as loudly as my heart to find Clary weeping as she held a small wet bundle in her arms. I raced over.

The bundle was Harry.

" My baby is gone, " she cried out, cradling Harry in her arms. I couldn't comprehend what was happening. Ten minutes ago we had been a young family, filled with love and hope for the future. Now all I could see in our future was despair. A felt a deep weight on my chest and I fought the urge to vomit. Grief racked my body so intensely I could hardly breathe. His grass green eyes gazed up at me, but there was no life in them. It had been extinguished and there was no way of getting him back, my baby boy. I turned to Nathaniel and his black eyes gazed back, no emotion behind them. I knew he was responsible. Since the day the twins were born when I saw his eyes flash black I knew there was something wrong with him that could never be fixed, he was just like Sebastian. We had raised him the best we could, he took medication to control his violent outbursts and we taught our children with love, not hate the way Valentine had raised Sebastian. But he could not be saved, and having him near our sweet, innocent Harry had been a mistake that cost us his life. I turned to Clary with pain in my eyes.

" What are we going to do? Our beautiful Harry. He can't be - we have to - surely we can - "

" He's gone, Jace. Gone. There is nothing we can do except protect the only child we have left, " she interrupted. Nathaniel waddled towards us and sat down in my lap.

" Mommy. Daddy. Why are you crying? Now it is just me, we can be a family, " Nathan said, his words sent a shiver up my spine.

" The only child we have left, " I repeated softly.

~Twenty Minutes Later~

Clary's P.O.V.

" Jace we have to make a promise. To each other and to Nate, " I said as I watched the blue and red lights coming up the street.

" Anything to keep our family safe, " Jace said taking my hands and sitting me down on the front steps of our house.

" Well then promise me you won't say anything to the police, nothing that could take our boy away from us. "

" Of course, baby, for our family. " I stared into his eyes as the police pulled up and he kissed my hand softly. How could I have gotten so lucky to have such an amazing man. I couldn't have faced any of this without him. But as long as he was in my heart I was never alone, even in my darkest days.

Jace was pulled away by a stern looking policeman and I turned to find another standing in front of me waiting for my statement.

" Okay, ma'am can you please tell me what happened this evening at approximately 4:30pm, " the kind looking police officer asked as he flipped open his notebook and started to chew on his pen.

" I took my son Harrison upstairs to take a bath. But the soap was downstairs, so I went to go get it. I didn't turn the faucet on and he was just sitting on the floor when I left him. I went downstairs and my fiancé, Jace was on the ground. Our other son Nathan had hurt him while he was trying to avoid taking his medication. I knelt down to check up on Jace before I went to get the soap. I'd say I was downstairs for about five minutes, " I choked at that. Those five minutes were the reason my baby was dead.

" Go on, go on, you're doing so well miss Morgenstern, " he said encouragingly. I took a deep breath and went on,

" When I got back upstairs my, my baby -Harry- was floating in the tub. H-he drowned. " The officer scribbled all this down hastily and then stood up, flipping his notebook closed.

" I am sorry for your loss ma'am. That will be all. " I raced over to Jace where he was being questioned and we embraced. I found Nate at our feet clearly wanting to be apart of the moment. I picked him up held him close to my chest. I couldn't help loving him no matter what he had done or what he might do in the future. He was my son after all, the only child I had left.

I knew that night that our lives would never be the same. Nathaniel was going to hurt more people and I had to carry around the burden of knowing what he had done. A burden Nate didn't seem to share. He relished the attention of having a dead brother, and would talk about Harry to anyone who would listen.

" My bwuver is dwowned. I miss him vewy much and mommy says I am vewy bwave and when I miss him I can sweep with mommy and daddy. " the person would nod politely at Nate and then give me a concerned look as Nate flashed a big smile. I would then walk away quickly and scold Nathan as Jace shook his head in despair. What else could we do? We couldn't help it if he was abnormal, it wasn't something we could fix, it was in his blood. Sebastian's blood.
