Nephilim Love

Epilogue

Jace

After Ithuriel and the angels disappeared and the rogue Shadowhunters were portaled to the guard, I portaled home with Clary and Chris. Clary fed Chris, changed his diaper, and put him down for the night and we both stood there for a few minutes, watching him sleep. My sweet boy, I thought I lost you. Bending over the railing, I placed a kiss on his small forehead. I took Clary in my arms and crushed my lips to hers, tasting every bit of her as soon as she parted her lips. We kissed until we had to catch our breaths. She went and took a shower and came back wrapped in a towel to find me standing by the crib watching my son sleep. She put her arms around my waist and leaned her face on my back. I turned in her arms so that I would be facing her and kissed her softly.

"I will wait for you while you take your shower."

I nodded to her and went to take my shower. I came out wrapped in a towel and she was lying under the sheets waiting for me. Just when I was about to grab a pair of sweatpants out of the drawer, she nodded no. I walked towards her and she reached and pulled the towel off, throwing it to the floor. She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the bed and I let her. "Make love to me.", she whispered to me and of course, I was not going to say no. I got into bed and laid next to her propping myself up so that I can kiss her. She deepened the kiss and parted her lips for me so that I can taste her. Slowly I positioned myself on top of her without ending the kiss. As I did, she parted her legs for me. I entered her and she gasped in my mouth, which put me in a frenzy. It started slowly, but the more she pulled me towards her the faster my thrusts became until we were both in a rhythm that brought us into heavenly bliss. She cried out my name and that is when I lost myself and put my face in the crook of her neck gasping for air. I called her name out as my body shuddered as I let go with the last of my climax.

"I love you, Clary Herondale," I said as I started kissing her again.

"As I love you, Jace Herondale."

I talked to Clary about making Idris our home and raising our children here at the Manor. I also mentioned becoming a Shadowhunter again and being involved with the Clave. She agreed to everything so Idris has become our new home. Chris is getting bigger by the day and I am enjoying every single day with him. He is a remarkable child and I am glad that he was too small to suffer any kind of emotional damage from what Raziel did on that dreadful day. I cannot wait to have another child so Chris has someone to play with. 

Six months later

I was dead asleep when I felt Clary jump out of bed and run to the bathroom. This has been a daily occurrence for a couple of weeks now. I have seen Clary sick before and now I am beginning to worry because I know what this means. She is pregnant again. I walked into the bathroom and found her brushing her teeth. I sat on the edge of the tub trying to think how to ask her the question that has been on my mind for the past week.

"Clary, I know that I am new at a lot of things in our marriage, but I think I am understanding what is going on with you. Babe, are you pregnant? Is this why you have been sick every morning for the last two weeks?"

"Yes, Jace, I am quite sure that I am"

"We are going to have another baby?"

"Yes, we are. I am sure because I will never forget the morning sickness. I hated that part of being pregnant."

"I am so sorry, Clary because I never thought about the bad things about being pregnant that you were going through. As I said, I am new at this. Please tell me what I can do to make you comfortable during your pregnancy?"

"I will be fine and this will pass in a few months more or less."

"Well, we will go through this together. I might  have missed the first eight weeks or more with you carrying Chris, but I am here now by your side."
