Chapter Forty Seven

Jacqueline POV:

Tucker and I were both sitting on my bed holding our little baby girls. It was so surreal that they were here, and it was even more amazing how much I already loved them. I've known them for about 15 minutes and I knew I'd already do anything for them no matter. I looked over at Tucker and his eyes were glossy. I can't even begin to imagine how he feels. He grew up an only child, and even though he spent the majority of his time at the facility, I knew that when he went home his parents weren't very attentive. He always told me that he wanted to be a better parent than his, and I knew that he was going to be the best father to our two beautiful girls.

"What name do you think Pat went with?" I asked after a moment.

"I don't know. But I liked all his suggestions, so I honestly don't really mind." Tucker said and I nodded.

"And you like the name we picked?" I asked and he laughed.

"Of course. If I didn't like it, we wouldn't have picked it." He said and I nodded. A moment later the door opened and in walked the whole family. My mom and dad walked right over to me.

"Oh my god, they are so adorable." My mom said and I smiled.

"Yea they are." I said and everyone laughed.

"Finally." I heard Patrick say. "I get to name one of these little girls." He said and everyone laughed.

"Here we go." I said and I looked at Pat. "What is one of my children's names?" I asked.

"Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to…." He said as he walked over to us. He looked at the babies and than the one Tucker was holding yawned, Patrick picked her up and smiled. "Rosalind Karina Lawson." He said and I started crying. "Please tell me it's alright."

"It's perfect Pat." I said and he leaned down and kissed my forehead. "Which makes this one Nora Clarissa Lawson."

"You named her after me?" My mom asked and I smiled.

"Of course. You're my biggest role model." I said and she started crying. I handed over Nora to my mom and she got the biggest smile on her face.

"You are so perfect Nora." My mom whispered as she kissed my baby.

"Nora and Rosalind." My dad said. "Sounds perfect together."

"And if you shorten Rosalind, they become Nora and Rosa." Karina said which make me smile.

"You did good Pat." I said and he smiled while he rocked Rosalind.

"I do have my moments." He said and I laughed. Tucker put his arm around me and I leaned into him. Today was an amazing day, and I couldn't wait to take them home and start being a family.

Time Jump – Six Months Later

Clary POV:

Rosalind and Nora were without a doubt the happiest babies that I've ever met. They rarely cried, and if they did, the moment that Jacqueline or Tucker picked them up they instantly calmed down. It was truly an amazing thing to see. I knew Jacqueline was going to be a great mom, and she proved it every single day. And Tucker was just as great of a dad. Those two little girls had him wrapped around his fingers, but I knew that would happen. Jace was the same way with both Jacqueline and Karina.

Everyone was coming over for dinner tonight. And by everyone, I meant everyone. Simon was back in the country, so I invited Izzy, Alec, Magnus and him over to see the little kids, and to hang out. Since Jacqueline and Patrick don't live here anymore we had two extra rooms incase we got a little carried away with the alcohol. I was going to enjoy everyone being in the same place again. We were a big family, and it was great to be together again.

The doorbell rang and Karina ran past me to open it. I heard the voices and soon everyone was gathering in the kitchen. It was great to see everyone again. I know we lived close to Alec and Magnus, but we were all so busy with our work, that we rarely got the time to get together, and Izzy was constantly traveling for work or to see Simon that she was rarely around as it is.

"Welcome!" I said as I pulled Izzy into a hug.

"Thanks for having us." Izzy said and I smiled.

"Of course." I said as I hugged the rest of the group.

"Where is Jace?" Alec asked.

"He is currently over with Jacqueline and Tucker." I explained. "Poor little Nora got a fever last night, and they called freaking out. Jace went over at about 3 this morning when Jacqueline called crying her eyes out."

"Poor thing." Izzy said. "How is she doing now? Nora, not Jack." Izzy explained and I laughed.

"Jace called about 45 minutes ago and said her fever broke this morning, and that she was sleeping, so she might not being very cuddly towards everyone today, but Rosa is a bubbly little baby who loves being held." I said and Izzy laughed.

"Good, I can't wait to snuggle with the little ones." Izzy said and I laughed. Patrick, Sammi and PJ walked in a couple minutes later and everyone made their way into the living room to catch up and talk, while we waited for the others.

About 15 minutes when by when I heard the door open. Jace was the first one to walk in holding a giggly Rosa in his arms. Tucker walked in holding a very grumpy Nora, but I couldn't blame her, being sick sucked. Jacqueline walking in behind him looking dead on her feet.

"Everyone is already here and in the living room." I said and Jace gave me a quick kiss before disappearing. Tucker followed with Nora, and that just left Jacqueline and me. "You okay baby?"

"I'm exhausted." She said and I smiled. "I barely slept last night."

"I can see that." I said with a laugh. "You look like you've been crying."

"She was so helpless mom." She said as she hung her head. "And I couldn't do anything about it."

"That's not true." I said.

"Dad did everything. He calmed her down. Rocked her to sleep. Got her to take the medicine." She explained. "I just sat there and cried."

"That's okay." I said. "You needed help, and you called us. That is doing something. You realized you needed help, and Nora benefited from dad knowing what to do." I said.

"I can't keep calling you guys every time I can't take care of my own baby." She said and I laughed.

"Not true. We're your parents. We're here to help." I said. "Your father has always been good at calming sick babies. God knows he could calm you down the instant you were in his arms when you were sick." I said.

"Really?" Jacqueline asked.

"Really. And Patrick did the same thing." I said. "PJ got really sick when he was about 8 months old. Patrick came running into our room freaking out, and Jace got up and calmed him right away. It's okay to ask for help. You're a new mom, you don't have all the answers. Your dad and I, we're pros. We know tricks, and we'd be happy to share them when the opportunity presents itself."

"Thanks mom." She said and I walked over and hugged her.

"It's what I'm' here for Jacqueline." I said and she smiled. "Now go spend time with your sick baby."

"She's been in Tucker's arms for like 4 hours. She doesn't want me." Jacqueline said a little defeated.

"Don't be so sure." I said and she shrugged. "Come on, lets go see everyone." I said and we made our way out into the living room. Izzy had Rosa in her lap making cute little noises, Simon was looking at her with the most love in his eyes I have ever seen. The day they had a baby, would be a good day. Tucker was sitting with Nora, and she was sitting up now. Jacqueline sat next to Tucker while I sat next to Jace. Nora reached out for Jacqueline and she gladly took her from Tucker. She cuddled into her chest and I could just see Jacqueline calm down the minute Nora was in her arms. I knew she felt like a failure today, and I knew that feeling very well, but she was a great mom, and I just wish she could see that.
