I Can't Stay

Chapter 8: Fairy Tale

At first Jace was confused. "Clary left because she was pregnant? No that can't be right." He thought then he remembered the little girl sleeping upstairs with those big green eyes they made him feel like melting. They reminded him of the eyes he was looking at now, Clary's eyes, brimming with tears. "So why did you leave? Why would you leave and do it all by yourself Clary?" He asked

"Like I said, I thought you would give up demon hunting... that's not fair to you and we're doing okay on our own" Clary started bawling on that last word. She missed Jace terribly. Jace, simon, Isabelle, her mom, Luke, Magnus, even Alec.

Jace pulled her too him on the couch and let her cry into his chest. "So, the little girl upstairs..." Jace began to ask " She's my daughter, our daughter?"

Clary nodded and told him her name was Mack. "Mack?" He asked "MacKenzie Isabella" she said through her tears. She looked up expecting to see anger or even disgust instead she saw him smiling. Not just smiling but grinning from ear to ear and looking down at her. "You're not mad?" Clary asked.

"Why the hell would I be mad Clary?! This is amazing!" Then he thought for a second and frowned "you'll let me stay won't you? Please let me be a part of her life, I know I've missed alot but Clary I love her already"

Clary smiled through her tears and nodded then she hugged Jace and he kissed her with enough force for a whole year of waiting. He had found Clary. His Clary and their daughter! He was the happiest man alive and he was going to make sure they lived happily ever after.
