Jace and Clary moving on

Another Question

It has been a year after Clary moved in and life so far was great. But Jace could only think of one more thing that would make it perfect. His heart was pounding now as he stared down at the small velvet box that held his only chance to make Clary officially his. She was visiting her mom today, which gave him enough time to plan the big moment. He was standing in the middle of the greenhouse where he will asks the love of his life to become his wife. He looked around his surroundings to see if everything was in its place.

The floor around the bench was surrounded by white candles and they were the only source of light in the room. He had left a note on her pillow, telling her to wear the dress that was laid out for her and to meet him in the greenhouse at 11:45. He made sure that everyone in the institute was gone for the night to make it all the more special. He even sprinkled rose pedals on the bed because he knew she would smile at the surprise.

Jace was so nervous about tonight. Everything had to be perfect, even him. He changed several times before he came up here until he finally chose a white, loose,button down black leather jeans and boots. He still wasn't sure if he looked presentable enough for Clary. Jace looked at the time on his phone and saw that it was almost time. He played how he hoped the night would go repeatedly in his head. And each time he thought about her answer, his heart would race.

The time had finally come. By the time Clary was in view the box was already hidden in his back pocket. When Jace laid eyes on her he had no words to describe how amazing she looked. She wore the dress he asked her to wear which was a green,floor length dress with a V neck and it showed her curves even more. Her hair was hanging down over her shoulders just the way she liked it. She had no makeup on and her only jewelry was the Morganstiern ring hanging on the chain around her neck.

She looked around and gasped. From the look on her face, Jace could tell he made her speechless. And put a grin on his face for his success. "What do you think beautiful?" Jace asked as he slowly made his way towards her. She had a massive smile, "I think it's beautiful Jace," she gasped, " I can't believe you went through all this trouble for me." Jace was finally in front of her now and he wrapped his arm around her waist as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Nothing I do for you is any kind of trouble," he said as he looked into her emerald eyes, "I would crawl to the ends of the earth for you and it would be worth the trouble."

Jace led her to the bench where they sat together in each others embrace until it was 11:58. It was time. Time to ask the question there was no return from. Jace looked at Clary and he was so nervous. She must of noticed what with the look of concern in her eyes. "Jace, are you alright ?" She asked softly. Jace took a deep breath, preparing him for the speech he had rehersed several times while he was waiting for her. He grabbed the box out of his pocket but kept it hidden behind his back as he looked into his soulmates eyes and said,

"Clary, since the day I first met you I have loved you with every ounce of my heart and soul. Together we have been through a lot. At first as friends, then painfully as brother and sister, and gratefully as boyfriend and girlfriend. I have never loved any one as much as I love you and I never will. You are what gives me the strength, bravery and courage to keep fighting everyday. And every morning I wake up thinking 'I pray this isn't the day she realises that she can do better and leave me'. And every night I go to bed thinking, 'thank the angel I get another day with her'. And tonight, I wanna go to bed thinking ' she will be all mine forever'. I wanna go through what ever life through at us, not as boyfriend and girlfriend, but as husband and wife."

He paused for a moment for the words he just said to sink in. At this moment she already had tears in her eyes and he had the box open to reveal the Herondale family rings as it was a tradition to present the woman with the family ring.

"Clarissa Fray, I swear to the angel that I will love, honor, cherish and protect you for every minute of every day for the rest of my life, if you would do me the honor of marrying me ?" He took a deep breath. She just sat there without a word which made Jace's heart race out of fear. Fear of her answer.

She took a ragged breath and a great big smile stretched across her face as she nodded her head and with a shaky voice said, "yes."

Jace released the breath he didn't even know he was holding. She said yes. Clary Fray was going to Clary Herondale. Never in his life did Jace think he would ever get married. He was so happy that after he put the ring on her finger he picked her up and spun her around the room. His face was buried in the crook of her neck. When he inhaled, he would get a wiff of her hair. "I love you soon-to-be-Mrs.Herondale." he whispered in her ear. "I love you too Mr.Herondale." And were like that until the midnight flower bloomed. They only separated to look at the beautiful flowers and then when they died, the couple embrased each other in a passionate kiss. The first kiss of their engagement.
