Jace

She went to take a shower and change. Things are going better than planned. I did not think that she would have memories stirring in her so early in my plan, but I am not going to complain. When she came out I jumped into the shower and then got dressed. We went to the coffee shop and got some coffee and a sandwich and went to her dorm to pack. When we finished packing her things at the dorm, she knocked on Holly's door.

"Hey, Holly. This is my boyfriend, Jace."

"Nice to meet you, Jace. I am glad that you found Clary. It has been so hard for her when she found out that she was pregnant and did not remember who the father was. You are the father right?"

"Yes, I am. I am also glad that I found her. She was in an accident and lost her memory. The doctors said that it would take some time but she would regain them sometime. Her dreams about me and my bumping into her brought some of the memories back. That is why I think is best if she moves in with me."

"I am going to miss my friend, but if this is what is best for her, then so be it. You have to promise that you are going to take care of her."

"Do not worry, Holly, I will always protect her and take care of her."

"I will miss you too, but we are going to be in class together and you are going to visit me at our apartment."

"You are right, I will definitely be checking up on you."

I talked to Holly for a little bit and then we went home. To our home now and to the beginning of our lives.  I had so many questions for Jace about our lives in the past two years. We arrived at the apartment and put my belongings in our bedroom. I took Jace's hand and led him into the living room and sat on the couch. He smiled at me with that beautiful smile of his. He reached over and kissed me softly and then sat back and waited for me to talk.

"I want to tell you about my dreams and you tell me what was happening then."

"Sure thing. Tell me."

"One of my dreams we were at a terrace and you had your shirt off. The runes on your body were glowing and you were hugging me against your chest. What was all that about?"

"Sebastian came to the institute when he defended Izzy, my sister, and your best friend, from the demon Azazel. It turns out that he was actually your brother, Jonathan, who had demon blood. He was trying to steal what we thought was the Mortal Mirror to give it to your father. You had the ability to create a rune that bonded our angel blood so that we could track his whereabouts."

"In the second dream, you had your arms around me and told me that you loved me. We are in bed together and the bed has black silk sheets."

"The was the day that I tried to remove the twining rune that had you connected to Jonathan but it failed. You decided to stop trying to figure out things on your own. It was the first time I told you that I loved you since the night you brought me back to life. It was the night that we made love for the first time and you got pregnant."

"How could they make me forget you if they knew we were in love? Would he have known that I was carrying your child? I grew up thinking that angels were heavenly beings that were full of love and kindness. Raziel has made this a personal vendetta. Every time I think of angels, it reminds me of hell or being in Edom."

"I do not know Clary. I do not know why Raziel is punishing us, but I am here now, and we are going to have the life that we wanted. We are no longer Shadowhunters, therefore, Raziel cannot interfere with our lives. That is why I gave up everything for you. So we can have a normal life to raise our baby in."

Clary had a frozen look on her face as if she was not here at my side. I wanted to call her attention, but I did not want to interrupt her thoughts. I waited patiently for her to talk to me. The next thing I know, she screamed out my name.

Clary

A memory of a night that we were running towards a lake and this man came out of nowhere and stabbed Jace in the heart. I ran to him and held him, crying for him to stay with me. He whispered, "I love you.", with tears in his eyes and then closed them. I was calling his name and he would not open his eyes. Then I screamed his name. I felt strong arms wrap around me and call my name when I realize that it was just a memory. It was not real and Jace was sitting here by my side.

"Jaaaace!"

"It is okay, love. I am right here. What happened?"

"I got a flashback of the night you died! This man stabbed you in the heart and you died. You would not open your eyes!"

"I am so sorry, Clary. I did not mean to bring you bad memories. That man was your father, Valentine. He was also against the two of us being together. He kept saying that it would be dangerous, but never explained what he meant by that."

"It is not your fault. I need to remember things, the good along with the bad. Can you tell me what happened with Valentine?"

"You got so angry at him when I died. You went hand to hand with him until you killed him. You rid the world of a psycho who wanted to destroy the Downworld and the Shadowhunters."

 "I am glad that I killed him. If he killed you for whatever psychotic reason he had, good riddance. What counts is our lives now. I do want to remember our good memories, but we are going to make new ones too."

"Well, we have a couple of hours before I go to work to start making new memories."

Jace had the beautiful smirk that I loved so much. He lifted my chin and started kissing me. I broke the kiss after what seemed like forever and I got up and ran to the room with Jace close behind me. He pushed me on the bed and laid gently on top of me kissing me hard. I deepened the kiss until I made him moan. We undressed slowly kissing each other on our bare skin. The next thing I know, we were making love. Our bodies moved slowly and in sync with each other. Every thrust brought a moan to my throat until we both reached our climax together. He rolled over to his side and pulled me into his arms kissing me again. I will never get tired of him kissing me. He looked at his phone and noticed the time and decided to go and take a shower. I got dressed and went down to the coffee shop to get some coffee. He texts me to see where I was and I told him I was on my way home with coffee. We talked a little while we were drinking our coffee and he had to leave. 

"Hey, I have to go. Make sure you lock the door and do not go anywhere until I get home. I am supposed to work until midnight but always give me some time in case I have to stay a little later, but I will text you. In a matter of fact, I will call you on my lunch break."

"Jace, I will be fine. I am planning on unpacking and putting things away. If you call me it would be fine. I would love to hear your voice."

"Okay, then I will see you tonight."

Jace

I kissed Clary on my way out to my new job. Look at me, Jace Herondale, kissing my girl goodbye like if she is my wife, and on my way to a mundane job. It feels normal for some reason. I guess loving Clary the way I do is what makes things seem normal in the mundane world. I like the word wife. I never thought that I would ever be able to get married. Clary and I are having a baby so it would make sense to get married before the baby gets here, after all, I was going to ask her at Alec's wedding but all hell broke loose with her losing her memories. I need to talk to Simon about mundane engagements. I want to do it the right way.  I was planning on giving her my family ring, but now living as mundane, I want to propose to her like one. While walking around one day, I had found the perfect engagement ring, but I was not able to give it to her on the night I was going to propose at Alec's wedding reception because of everything that happened to Clary. Lots of thoughts and plans when through my mind about our future together as I walked to my new job. I was the luckiest person in the world because my future was waiting for me at home. All of a sudden, I get this feeling like I am being watched. I slowed down my pace and very slowly, looked around to see who it was. There was no one strange around but the mundanes going about their business. Well, I guess it is nothing but my imagination messing with me. I will still be careful and on alert. There is a possibility that I cannot see what I feel because of the lack of runes. Raziel did threaten me if I kept coming after Clary.

I arrived at the restaurant early and was given my uniform. I followed the chef around to get the feel of the kitchen and then the dinner rush started. It was funny that I went from wielding my seraph blades to wielding chef knives at a restaurant. At least I will not show up at home dripping in ichor. Next thing I know it was my lunch break. I grabbed something to eat and went out to the back of the restaurant to call Clary.

"Hey babe, just checking up on you. How are you feeling?"

"I am fine. Unpacked my stuff and straightened the apartment a little bit. I miss you, though."

"I miss you too. Next thing you know, I will be home. You have not told me how our baby is doing."

"He is fine. The time I have been with you has done me wonders. I feel more relax and my anxiety has gone away."

"He? Am I having a son?"

"I am not sure, but I see a boy with your looks."

"Yeah, right. I see him with your beautiful hair and eyes."

"How about your gold hair and my eyes?"

"That sounds great. Well, babe. I have to go. My break is about over. I love you. See you tonight."

"I love you too. Cannot wait until I have you back at my side."

I went back to work and was anxious for the night to be over. Finally, it was time for me to go home and I rushed to get there right away. I walked in to find Clary asleep on the couch with the television on. She probably fell asleep waiting for me. I kissed her and called her gently and she smiled before opening up her eyes.

"Hey, you are home! I missed you."

"I missed you too, babe. Here is some food I made special for you hoping we can eat together."

"Great because I am starving."
