Nephilim Love

Chapter 17

"Welcome to Herondale Manor, my love."

"The manor is incredible, Jace. I can get used to living like this."

"I hope so because this is one of the possibilities we have if we want to stay here or we can live as mundane back in New York when all this is over."

"Would you consider staying a Shadowhunter? It is something you have loved all your life. You only gave it up because of what Raziel did to me."

"Clary, being a Shadowhunter meant everything to me until I met you. Now you and our baby mean more to me than anything else. This will be a mutual decision, not just mine alone. We are going to have plenty of time to make that decision. Right now, we are going to our room and get some sleep. It has been a long day."

"Yes, it has been. I am dying to see the rest of the manor in the morning."

The master had a king-size bed made out of mahogany and was carved in a  delicate rose pattern. It also had a huge bathroom, in beautiful tiles and marble.  I went and picked up the two bags and put them on a bench at the bottom of the bed. My grandmother had lived here before so everything has been kept clean and in order. In ready shape to just move in. We changed into comfortable clothes and laid in each other's arms and drifted off to sleep. We started opening doors and looking into each one that looked like ordinary rooms except the last one that we opened and it was a fully furnished nursery. This was the nursery that my parents prepared for me and I could see the love that was put into it. 

"Oh Jace, this was supposed to have been your nursery. Your parents wanted you and put a lot of love and work into this room. I can feel the love coming from everything here."

"I feel it too. This will be our son's nursery. He is going to feel all the love that my parents had for me through the two of us. It will not go to waste any longer."

"Yes, I agree with you. It is just perfect for our baby."

"Well, I am heading down to the kitchen to make dinner for us. Do you want to come down or do you want to lay down for a little until dinner is ready?"

"You go make dinner and I will unpack and started putting away these two bags you brought up. We have to have access to our clothes and toiletries for now."

"I will call you when dinner is ready. Call me if you need anything."

I gave Clary a quick kiss on the lips and made my way down to the kitchen to unload and put away the foodstuff and make dinner. This feels good just like we were a regular couple with no problems in the world. This is the life that I have wanted for us and now we might have a chance at it. I made my way into the kitchen and started dinner. When dinner was ready, I went upstairs to get Clary for dinner. When I went into the room, she was asleep. All the clothes from the two bags were put away. I sat on the edge of the bed and started kissing her gently. Clary responded to my kisses and woke up right away.

"Hey, babe. Dinner is ready. Are you hungry?"

"Yes, I am starving."

We went to the kitchen and Clary sat at the table while I served our plates. We ate dinner and drank some juice and we were both full and satisfied. We decided to look around the first floor until we saw a portal opening in our living room. I took out my Seraph blade and Clary her kindjals ready to defend ourselves until Izzy, Simon, and Magnus walked into the living room. 

"Why did you show up unannounced like that? You know Clary and I are always expecting the worst."

"Sorry guys, we just wanted to see how you were and so that tomorrow we can go shopping for Clary's wedding dress. We need to get the wedding plans into full force if you want to get married before she gets any bigger."
