Tessa shakes me. I groan and roll over.

"William Herondale, wake up this instant, I am going into labor."
"Shit." I jump out of bed and put my shoes and Jacket on. "Stay here and breathe for me okay?"

"Okay." I run out of the room and into the living room.

"TESSA'S IN LABOR, HELP WHAT DO I DO." I yell. Magnus and Alec come in, followed by Jem.

"What on earth are you screaming about??"

"TESSA IS IN LABOR. WHAT. DO. I. DO?!?!"

"Well, you should probably get her to a hospital."

"Oh yeah, why didn't I think of that..." I run back to our room. I help Tesaa up. We go Magnus' car. "Will you drive? I need to stay back here with Tessa."

"Yes, I will drive."

"Thank you."

"Can you hold my hand?" Tessa asks.

"Of course darling." I take my hand in hers. "Just squeeze my hand when you need to, I'll be here the whole time."

"Okay." She says. She smiles at me. I kiss her.

"You'll do great sweetheart."

"Will?"

"Yes?"

"There's no one I'd rather be having a baby with." 

"There's no one I'd rather be with right now, at this moment." She kisses me. The doctors come in.

"Okay. Ready?" Tessa nods. "1...2...3." She squeezes my hand. "Okay, again, 1....2....3..." I hear crying.  They're beautiful.  They're more perfect than I imagined, my eyes and Tessa's hair. Absolute perfection. 

"They're perfect. Like you." I whisper. I look down at my perfect little family and realize how lucky I am that she came to see me that day.
