A frazzled Jem paced back and forth in front of the four barely 20 year olds. He rambled off the rules, regulations, emergency contacts, and even reasons why they shouldn't leave Willow alone with them. Tessa simply stood off to the side, giggling at the whole thing. She'd been through this with Lucy and James, the complete panic of leaving them alone with Charlotte, but they were fine and Willow would be fine. Tessa looked down at the little girl who held tight to her hand and smiled at her. Willow was very strong for a 4 year old and very small. She resembled her father very much, she had pale skin with strikingly dark hair that hung in loose curls down her back. She loved the violin, like Jem, and she enjoyed the books that she couldn't quite read yet. Willow glanced at her mother with the identical large stormy grey eyes. Willow was a complete surprise to everyone, a completely wonderful surprise.

It was only a month after their wedding when Tessa had found out she was pregnant, she was so fearful to tell Jem that she kept it a secret for a whole month. When she began to get a little bigger, she brought Jem a single pink balloon (she knew it was a little girl) and told him. He was afraid at first but was thrilled nonetheless. When Willow was born she didn't even cry, Tessa was in utter shock when she thought her little girl was dead. The Silent Brothers assured her that Willow was just a "lazy baby" and had refused to cry. Looking at the peaceful and stubborn little girl now, you would never have guessed it.

"Mommy" Willow said quietly "yes darling?" The little girl turned her head from her father to look at Tessa. "When are you and daddy leaving? Clary will is supposed to teach me how to draw!" Tessa leaned down and kissed Willow on the forehead before whispering in her ear. Willow bounced over to Jem and pulled on his pants leg. He looked down and his face warmed with a smile "Yes Will?" She smiled back at her nickname then waited for him to lean to her level. She kissed him on the cheek quickly "mommy says you should stop fussing and leave so I can draw with Clary." He turned red and hugged her before she ran off with Clary, without looking back. It hit Jem like a rock, his little girl didn't even look back, didn't even need him anymore. Tessa grabbed his hand whispered "don't take it personal Jem…they all have to do it at some point." He nodded slowly then followed her out the door with a final goodbye and warning to Izzy, Alec, and Jace.

"Wow…brother Zachariah should really get it together…Will is gonna be fine, were all responsible adults here!" Izzy and Alec glared at Jace and busted out laughing "what?!" Jace yelled disgusted by his sibling's responses. "Jace…Clary, Izzy and I are adults. We're not sure what you are." Jace rolled his eye but kept his language to himself when they got into the room where Clary and Will were. Will was like a little sister to Jace, he would lay his life down for her without hesitation. Clary walked over to the wall "Hey, were gonna portal to the park. Will and I need inspiration" Will nodded vigorously "YEA! Inspiration!" They all laughed as Clary made the portal. Willow was amazed at the swirling blues that the portal produced and ran to hold Jace's hand as they stepped through it and fell into nothing.
