Faerie Vindicta

No Herondales

Jace stood there mesmerized by the girl. Her eyes had been a beautiful gray-white. A hue he'd never seen on human eyes ever before. That was, if she was human.

"So, her eyes aren't blue?",Clary asked again for the hundredth time. "No, her eyes are gray, white-gray. A color you would like to draw, no doubt", Jace exhaled, but laughed tiredly. Clary smiled.

Magnus groaned. He had taken a seat on top of the table with assorted weapons and the baby. "Alexander",he said. Alec was studying the baby as if she were about to mutate into a demon and he looked up. "Yes?",he asked, still concentrating on the child. "If we aren't going to tell the Clave-",Magnus began, but Alec interrupted. "We are not going to tell the Clave yet" Magnus rolled his eyes. He knew how his boyfriend was, with his Latin. The law is hard, but it is the law, Alec would tell him every so often.

"Anyway, Alec, shouldn't we give her a name? Since she'll be here a while and I'm not sure what to call her other than 'she' or 'her'",Magnus insisted. "I- I hadn't really thought about that", Alec replied. "Yes, well, if no parents, she at least deserves a title",Jace stared at the baby with fierce protectiveness.

"Alright, alright. But you three have to come up with the name. I'm terrible at names",Alec added.

"Bane?", Clary suggested. Magnus snorted. "What an awful suggestion, Clarissa" She folded her arms indignantly. "I meant if she were going to have a last name if it were going to be 'Bane'"

"Yes",Alec said at the same time that Magnus said,"No".

"Yes", Alec insisted. "Bane-Lightwood",he continued,"That's got a nice ring to it don't you think?" Alec smiled. The baby waved her fists in the air and laughed. "You see? She likes it", Alec said around a smile. "If she's going to have the name of 'Bane' then 'Lightwood' will be before it, not after", Magnus argued,"Lightwood-Bane" Alec sighed, but smiled and agreed.

"Aw! How cute is that, Jace? Magnus and Alec have a baby together!",Clary exclaimed, a bit sarcastically, but excitedly. Alec flushed a deep shade of red as Magnus winked at him and blew his boyfriend kisses. Jace howled with laughter.

"That's all good and well, but has anybody thought of a first name?",Jace started after he ceased his laughter. "No",replied Clary, who had gone to playing with the baby and then she gasped. "Alec", she called,"Look" Alec walked over to where she and the baby were. He looked and saw nothing wrong other than the fact that her eyes had turned green. Not green-gold cat eyes like Magnus', but green as Clary's. "So, she likes pretty eyes, I guess", Magnus observed.

Jace gasped dramatically, putting a hand to his chest as if someone had struck him there. "I don't have pretty eyes?", he exclaimed quite sarcastically, "Well, then!", Jace crossed his arms and sat himself in the chair next to where Clary was squatting next to Alec, and in front of the baby. Clary and Alec both laughed at Jace's dramatic outburst.

"Oh, don't get ahead of yourself, Herondale. We all know that you are very pretty. You have pretty eyes and a sparkling personality like all Herondale's do, but right now we really need to find out what the hell this kid is before she derives your snarky attitude and becomes 'Baby Herondale'", Magnus remarked, all very quickly.

"'Baby Herondale'? I quite like the sound of that, actually",Jace smiled angelically. Magnus sighed dramatically and Clary felt Alec shake with laughter beside her. Seeing Magnus' expression,a mixture of annoyance and fondness, Clary laughed too.
