Chapter Sixty

Time Jump – PJ's First Olympics

Clary POV:

PJ and Shelby finally got their shot at an Olympic medal, and I was nervous as hell for them. I knew they have been working their asses off for this and I was super proud no matter how well they did, but I still wanted them to win, it was the athlete in me, and I couldn't turn that part off. We were sitting in the stadium waiting for them to take the ice, and I was a jittery mess, but I wasn't the only one. Sammi was worse than I was, but that was understandable. I was the same way when my kids were in this position.

"Taking the ice now, for Team Great Britain, PJ Herondale and his partner Shelby Covens." The announcer said and once PJ took the ice my nerves shot to an all time high.

They took their position on the ice and I grabbed Jace's hand. He looked at me ad smiled and started to take a few deep breathes, I followed his breathing, and my heart calmed down a little. The music started and I don't think I even blinked once. I didn't want to miss a single thing and if I blinked, I knew I would.

They were doing absolutely amazing with this routine. They really improved this routine to the maximum difficulty, and they were putting in so many hours at the ice rink perfecting everything. It showed in today's routine how much they've improved and practiced, but I really hoped that it paid off in the long run.

The music ended, and they did absolutely amazing. Everyone was standing on their feet and giving them a standing ovation. They gave their bows, and started skating off the ice. I could see the huge smile on PJ's face. He knew they did amazing, and he should be proud of himself, because he came here to perform, and perform he did. But winning would be nice too.

"Do you think they can do it?" Sammi asked after the applause died down.

"I think they have a really good chance at winning." I said with a big smile.

"I'm so nervous. Like way more nervous than when I was competing." Sammi said and I laughed.

"I was the exact same way with Jacqueline and Patrick." I said. "When you're out there, you control what happens, sitting in the stands, you have no control and it sucks." I explained and they laughed.

"I'll be right back." Jace said after a moment, gave me a kiss, and than walked away. I didn't know what he had in mind, but he always had a purpose when we were at these events, so I just let him go.

"Where did dad go?" Jacqueline asked when she noticed that he was gone.

"I'm not sure. He said he would be right back and just left." I said and she nodded. I was looking around the arena when I spotted a familiar blonde talk to one of the female judges. Even though I knew that Jace was fully committed to this family, and to me, I couldn't help but feel jealous after all this time. Eventually he walked away, and maybe 10 minutes later he returned to his seat and I just looked at him.

"What?" He asked.

"Why did you need to talk to that judge?" I asked, and I didn't even care if I sounded annoyed. He put his hand on my back and pulled me closer to him.

"I just wanted to know how she felt the competition was going." He whispered in my ear. "Catching up with an old friend."

"Mmmhhmmm." I dragged out the word and he just smiled.

"After all these years, you still get jealous." He said. "You know I'm entirely yours babe." He said and I couldn't help but smile.

"I know, I just can't seem to help it." I admitted and he kissed my cheek.

"I was just trying to figure out where PJ and Shelby would land in the end." He said.

"And did you?" I asked.

"I think they will make the top three. Easily." He said and I got the biggest smile on my face.

"I'm so proud of him." I said and Jace smiled. "We've come full circle."

"We really have." Jace said. "I never thought I'd ever have this." He said and I smiled.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Just didn't seem possible when I spent all my time training." He said. "I had a one track mind. Olympics. It was all I thought about at one point, than you came into my life, and everything changed."

"I know what you mean." I said. "Sometimes it seemed like the Olympics wasn't just a dream anymore, but a need. I needed to make it, and I needed to win." I said. "It was all I ever wanted, and that's all I thought about." I explained. "But seeing what we have now. What we built together, and what we created together, the Olympics seems to trivial." I said and he laughed. "Don't get me wrong, I love my gold medal. It's one of my greatest accomplishes, but this…." I said as I pointed to our kids, and grandkids. "This is more rewarding."

"I love you Clary." He said and I leaned up and pressed my lips to his.

"I love you too Jace." I said and the announcer started talking.

"And the final scores are in." He said and we all looked at the scoreboard. "In third place, receiving the bronze medal, Kayla Donohough, and Michael Hernandez from Team USA." He said and everyone started clapping. "In second place, receiving the silver medal, Tara Mitchell and Cody Ashwood from Team Canada." He said and the place applauded. "And in first place, receiving the gold medal, from Team Great Britain, PJ Herondale and Shelby Covens." He said and our whole family jumped to our feet. PJ and Shelby took the ice, holding hands and waving to the crowd. The got to the podium and stood on top as they waited for the medals to be presented.

I couldn't believe that my grandson had just won a gold medal. It was so surreal. As I watched him and Shelby waving to the crowd, and standing for the national anthem, my eyes filled with tears. The Herondale family certainly had a knack for the Olympics, and winning a medal. It was something we did really well, but as great as those Olympics Dreams are, winning them with the support and love of you family means so much more, and I couldn't wait to see what else my grandkids were going to accomplish. The future was an blank canvas, and I couldn't wait to see how it would be filled.
