A happy ending

Part 1: Clace

They all deserved a happy ending, for all they had been through, it was the least they deserved.

Jace and Simon were pacing nervously up and down the hallway, witing for news that would bring them either suffering or relive.

The silent brothers had told Jace it was probable Clary wouldn´t make it. It had me almost been an hour now and there were no news about Clary´s state. Jace´s knees began to shake as he though of horrible possibilities. Had she suffered? Tears filled his eyes, and he sat down in a corner hugging his knees to his chest. No one, not even Simon knew the risks Clary was taking. The door of the room were Clary was opened and Maryse Lightwood appeared.

"Jace, come in" he looked up and stood up. Walking down the hall, he felt his heart pounding. She couldn´t be dead, he wouldn´t be strong enough to handle that.

When he entered the room, Clary was lying in the bed, her face pale, her eyes closed. He fell to his knees crying, the boy who never cried... but she was his weakness, he couldn´t live without, neither he wanted too.

"She´s alright, Jace. She passed out, but she´s alive, she´s gonna be fine" At that he looked up, his eyes blood-shot, he stood up without bothering to wipe the tears from his cheeks.

One of the maidens, who had been helping, was cleaning Clary´s neck with a wet towel. Suddenly she froze, her eyes wide.

"Ms. Lightwood? There is no pulse"

Maryse turned to look at Jace, but he was already besides Clary, trying to restart her heart. Tears ran down his cheeks.

"Clary, come ON, you are not dying on me, you can´t"

Clary gulped a breath, and her eyes shot open, she was breathing hard, but she was alive, thats all that mattered to Jace.

"Weres Tessa?" She asked. Tessa was the name of their child, in honor, of course, of Tessa Gray.

Clearly relived, Maryse went to the crib and picked up Tessa. She gave her to Jace, a sense of joy overwhelmed him, she had red hair, and freckles just like Clary, and golden eyes, just like him. She wrapped her little hand around his finger and laughed, that sweet baby laugh was all he needed. It meant all to him, happines, hope, but most important... family. Jace sat down next to Clary´s bed and kissed her forehead.

"She´s beautiful" she whispered smiling.

"She´s perfect, just like you." Jace said and kissed her softly.
