Nephilim Love

Chapter 15

Jace

I woke up to Clary's passionate kiss. Of course I responded to it, parting my mouth for her. She played gently with my tongue and deepened the kiss, tasting me as I tasted her. Finally, we broke apart, gasping for air. I looked at her with an astounded look in my face. Clary had a big smile on her face and a tear running down her cheek.

"I loved the way you woke me up, but, what was that for?"

"Jace, I remembered the first night we made love!"

"You remembered? Everything that happened that night?"

"Yes, everything! Our kiss, what we said, every touch, how our bodies felt together, how we held each other, our sighs, gasps, our moans, and how we cried out each other's name when we reached our peaks. We made love until the sun came up and was shining through the window. How we fit in each other's arms like a puzzle when we fell asleep. I remember everything."

"Well, our love story is more than that night you know."

"Of course, I know that, but it also helped me remember everything else that I have forgotten."

"I was just teasing you, love. I am so glad that you remembered all that was taken from you."

"I mentioned our first night because that was the night that I conceived our child. I calculated the weeks up until I found out that I was pregnant and that is exact to the day. It is a special day for me because something special will be born of it. It was not a one-night stand or a rape like I was thinking at the time. Instead, my baby has a father who I love with all my heart."

"I am so sorry that you had to go through that by yourself. I could not let you know about me because Raziel might have made the punishment worse for my interference. As soon as I found out you were pregnant, I went and I got de-runed so that I can show myself to you. If you would have not gotten any of your memories back, I would have made you fall in love again with me. I would have told you that I accepted you pregnant and made my life with you. Our love is stronger than the angel's spite. That is why you remembered, they could not erase your heart."

"That night, when my runes started fading away, I made sure that as I was saying my goodbyes to each of my family and friends, I locked the love I felt for them in my heart. You, the love I felt for you was the love I treasured the most. The memories of us, each and every one of them, I locked in my heart. The first morning I woke up without my memories, all I felt was a heaviness in my heart that I was missing someone special. That is why I started dreaming about you because my heart was helping me remember you."

"This all makes sense to me now. How easy it was to talk to you. I did pray every night to the angels so that they could see that my love for you was strong. Nothing could have kept me away from you. That is why I was watching out for you from the first night you left."

"It was you who left me the bag of clothes and that large amount of money. That was something that made me think that there was someone out there that really cared for me."

I held Clary in my arms and kissed her softly. I inhaled her scent and enjoyed her warmth, that is until her stomach growled. I started to laugh but she smacked my chest.

"I see someone woke up hungry. Let us get up and get you and the little one fed."

Clary smiled at me and nodded. She gave me a quick kiss, got out of bed, and headed for the bathroom.

Clary

Jace always knows what to say to me. I am so happy that he is back in my life where he belongs. I will never lose him again. Yes, I remembered our first night together, but I also remember the day I lost him to death and I begged Raziel to bring him back to me. I also remember killing Valentine with all the hatred and anger that I was able to muster and my brother, Jonathan, with all the love and mercy that I held in my heart. I remember so many mundanes and Shadowhunters that were killed around the Institutes all around the world. My mom, Dot, and Elliot were all killed, victims of Valentine and Jonathan's insanity. I remember it all. I finished my shower just as Jace walked in to take his. Afterward, we went to the kitchen to get some breakfast. I spent the day watching Jace train with Alec and work on some strategies for some missions they needed to go on. I had to sit on the sidelines because Jace would not allow me to train with my pregnancy. He is always worried about me getting hurt.  I decided to go to Taki's to get Jace's favorite dish and food for the others, so I left without letting anyone know where I was going. It was a warm evening and the stars were bright and beautiful. This was a walk that I was really enjoying until I was attacked by demons. They came out of nowhere and were bent on killing me. It was a good thing that I had both my stele and kindjals with me. As soon as one of the demons got close, I dispatched it right away. It made me scared because there were several of them and I was alone. My training will help me fight along with the motherly instinct to protect my child.
