Chapter Ten

Time Jump – Four Years Later

Clary POV:

The facility has been up and running for the last four years and we were doing so well. Jace and I got married two years ago, and I honestly couldn't begin to describe how amazing life was. Our facility was always completely full which caused us to have to split it up during every season. During the summer it was strictly figure skating, and in the winter it was strictly snowboarding, but during fall and spring it was a mix. It sucked, but we had to turn people away, and it killed Jace and I every single time, but when it came down to it, some kids just had more potential than others, and we wanted the best of the best, and that's who we took. We were currently in the winter portion of our camp, which meant snowboarders everywhere. I definitely didn't mind the winter portion, but it didn't give me much to do except skate around in the empty rink. I had put on some music and was just skating around, doing tricks, and trying to stay in shape so that I could teach the girls who would come for the spring portion. The music stopped and I was taking a cool down lap around the ice when I heard clapping. I looked up and Jace was sitting in the stand with the boys who were part of the morning session. I waved and skated over to their direction.

"That gentlemen was the most amazing figure skater I've ever seen, Clarissa Herondale." He says and I couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you doing in here?" I ask and he walks down to me.

"They were lacking in motivation today, and I told them that I would share some of my motivation and inspiration with them. I heard the music, and I couldn't resist. I haven't gotten to watch you skate as much as I would like too." He said, and I smiled. He really was the sweetest guy in the world.

"How sweet. Are they done for the day?" I ask and he shakes his head. "Alright boys, how about we get some lunch in you and I see how much better you've gotten since you started here?" I said and they all cheered and made their way outside and back to the half pipe. Jace turns around and watches them go and than looks back at me.

"What do you think about having kids?" He says and I was stunned for a moment, and than I smiled.

"I would love to have kids."

"When?" He asks and I think about it for a moment.

"Within the next year maybe. I like our alone time." I said and he leaned down and kissed me.

"So do I, but I would love to have little snowboarders and figure skaters running around this place." He said and I couldn't help but smile.

"Sounds good. Now go show those boys how its done Mr. Herondale.

"You got it Mrs. Herondale." He winked and I couldn't help but laugh, he was amazing, and starting a family with him was going to be the greatest adventure of all.

Time Jump – One Year Later

Clary POV:

I am currently pregnant with twins, and I have never in my life been this tired. I thought my crazy practice hours wore me out, but man can these kids really make me tired. I was due in about a month, but according to my doctor I could really go into labor at any moment. Twins normally don't make it full term, so I was preparing myself every day for my water to break.

Now, if you think I'm nervous, you should just see Jace. He has baby proofed the whole entire house already, and he has rearranged the nursery at least 5 times since we found out we were having twins. It is actually very cute to watch, but just looking at him going crazy makes me tired. I was currently confined to the house, since I was so tiny, I looked extra huge and got tired a lot sooner than I should, and it's killing me to sit around and do nothing. I ended up having to hire a figure skating coach, well two actually, one male and one female. In the past year or so we've been getting more and more male figure skaters, which was amazing, and not that there was much difference but it was better for a male to teach a boy how to figure skate, and I had to hire the girl to take my place. Jace also had to hire some help. He brought on a girl snowboarder. He thought it would give the girls who were coming to our came some inspiration. And it worked, the girls were thrilled to see a female out on the half pipe doing some sick tricks, and it really got them motivated. It was great to see all these young kids getting so inspired every day, and knowing that Jace and I were apart of that was really amazing.

Time Jump – One Week Later

Clary POV:

I was sitting on the couch watching some lame TV show when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. When I looked down I noticed that my sweats were wet, and than a pain ripped through my whole body and I let out a blood curtailing scream. The back door was opened so I can only assume everyone heard me, and not a minute later I could hear someone running through the house.

"Clary!" I heard Jace yelled as he leaned down next to me. "What's wrong?"

"My water just broke. Get me to the hospital." I said and Jace got the biggest smile on his face. He got me to the car, instructed the other employees to continue on with the day and he would update them when he had more information. We got to the hospital 15 minutes later and I was in a massive amount of pain.

Two hours later, and I was still not ready to give birth. I felt like they were never coming out of me, and as much as I wanted to meet my children, I really wanted the pain to stop more. I had already gotten all the drugs I was allowed, and the pain was still just as intense. I was about to scream my lips off when my doctor walked into the room.

"Alright Clary, lets see what's happening." He said as he started to look me over. "Clary, I don't want to alarm you, but we're going to have to preform a C-section on you right away." He said and before I could even blink my bed was being rushed to the OR. They drugged me up even more and proceeded to cut me opened. I was a nervous wreck, but once I heard the cries of my first baby, an overwhelming feeling of joy and happiness consumed me. "Looks like Baby A is a beautiful girl." The doctor said and Jace leaned down and kissed me. A few moments later more cries were filling the air. I couldn't believe they were finally here, and I couldn't wait to hold them for the first time. "Baby B is a healthy baby boy." He said and I looked at Jace.

"We are a son and a daughter Clare." Jace said and I couldn't help but smile.

"Yea we do." I said and he leaned down and kissed me.

"Alright, Jace we're going to put your wife back together. Your children are being brought to the nursery as we speak. I'll come up the minute I'm done here." He said and Jace looked at me.

"You'll be okay if I go?"

"Absolutely." I said and he gave me one more kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too Clare."

Jace POV:

I walked up to the nursery and there they were. Both labeled Baby Herondale, and I couldn't help the tears the pooled in my eyes. I clearly knew they were coming, but seeing them right in front of me was the most miraculous thing I've ever seen in my life. I stood there for about 45 minutes when I felt someone tap me on the shoulder.

"Mr. Herondale?" The nurse said and I nodded. "The doctor just finished up, and she should be in her room soon. Would you like us to wheel the babies in?"

"Yes please." I say and she nods and walks in to the room and starts wheeling the two cribs away from the glass. I follow her to the room, and when we get there Clary is already back. Once the nurse rolls the babies over to the bed I walk over and give Clary a kiss. "Would you like to hold them?" I ask and she nods. I pick up the girl and put her in Clary's arms, and I take my little boy. "So, names?"

"I haven't been able to get the name Jacqueline out of my head. I think its destiny." She says and I nod.

"I love it. And I've been the same way with the name Patrick. For the past month I've been referring him as Patrick in my head."

"Jacqueline, and Patrick. I love them." Clary said and I couldn't help but smile. We finally had our babies, and I couldn't wait to start raising them with Clary.
