"You ok?" Alec asks, walking up to jace.
"Yeah." Jace says, wiping his sweaty hair out of his face. "Why?"
Alec looks around him and says, "you have destroyed a fair number of training dummies so I was just asking."
"I'm just trying to clear my mind."
"What's on your mind?"
Jace sighs and says, "I've been thinking about my parents alot here lately."
"Like what?"
"I guess that since me and clary are getting married, I was just wondering what they were like."
"Why don't you ask jerome, I'm sure he remembers them."
"You think so?"
"He's the only one that would know."
"You're right." Jace says, walking back into the palace.
**********
Jace knocks on jeromes office and walks in when Jerome tells him to.
"Jace." He says, looking up. "What can I do for you?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Of course you can."
"Did you know my parents?"
Jerome nods and says, "yes, I did."
"What were they like?"
"Your mother, céline, was beautiful, smart and caring. She would've made a great mother for you but she died when you were born."
"Do I look like her?"
"Yes you do, more then you look like your father."
"Did you know him?"
"Yes, i know him."
"Is he still alive?"
"Yes."
"Why did he give me away? Did he not want me?"
"Jace, he loves you very much."
"Then why?"
"After your mother died, he was heartbroken, he thought he couldn't take care of you like you should've been so that's when he gave you to célines best friend, maryse."
"Do you think he would want to meet me? Cause I would love to meet him."
"I will find out and let you know."
"Thanks." Jace says, leaving.
