Valentine rocked his daughter in his arms with a smile on his face. Cordelia reminded him so much of his beloved who was sitting on the bed in the hotel. The girl came to him so that he could meet his daughter.

- She's very beautiful - Valentine said as Cordelia looked at him.

- I know, she's our daughter after all - Said Freya, who loved watching Valentine rock and make Cordelia laugh. She knew Valentine loved her and Cordelie.

- Leo, I know where you are? - Valentine asked as he looked at Freya.

- I told him I was going for a walk with Cordelia - The blonde-haired girl replied. She didn't like lying to her husband, but she had to do it so Valentine could spend some time with them.

Valentine put Cordelie in the stroller because the little one had fallen asleep in his arms and he didn't want to wake her up. The man walked over to Freya and sat down on the bed. Then he wrapped Freya's legs around his waist and connected his lips to his lover's. The girl returned the kiss and placed her hands on his neck.

They finally had some time for themselves, away from the Institute and Freya's husband, whom she was with out of with obligation

Cordelia was six months old when Freya learned that her husband Leo Branwell had been killed by a demon during a mission. When Freya heard the news, she lost consciousnes

s and woke up an hour later in the infirmary. The girl saw her mother sitting with Cordelia on her lap.

- Freya, how are you feeling? - Imogen asked her daughter when she saw that her daughter had woken up. The woman sympathized with her daughter's loss of her husband.

When the woman learned of Leo's death, she immediately went to the London Institute to comfort her only child and help take care of her granddaughter. She knew that Freya needed her and was suffering after her husband's death.

- I feel sadness and despair after his death the same as after Stephen's death - Freya confessed sadly as she sat on the bed. - I miss him very much - She said after a while, tears flowing down her cheeks. She may not have loved Leo, but he was important to her and she liked being with him. Freya saw how much Leo cared for and loved Cordelia.

- Freya, I know you're hurting, after all, Leo was a good night hunter, husband and father. The longing and pain will pass someday - Her mother said and handed her daughter to Freya. The girl took it from her mother and kissed her on the forehead. The little girl started laughing and touching her mother's hair. - Now Cordelia needs a mother and the Institute needs a boss

- Mom, I know that, but I need time to sort everything out - Freya said as she looked at her daughter. - Now I have to reconcile raising my daughter and running the Institute without Leo - The girl said sadly and gently rocked her daughter, who looked at her with curiosity in her eyes.

- I will help you take care of Cordelia - Her mother informed her.

2 hours later Freya came out of the infirmary and was in the room. The girl had tears in her eyes when she looked at the photo together. Her mother took care of Cordelia so that Freya could rest and be alone.

She sat on the bed and buried her face in her hands. Leo was good to her, he cared about her and Cordelie and accepted her for who she was. She knew she was wrong to cheat on him with Valentine and hide from him that Cordelia wasn't his daughter, but what else could she do. Valentine was her first love and was the father of her daughter.

Despite the passage of time, she still loved Valentine Morgenstern and had an affair with him. She wanted him to be her husband and they could raise their daughter together.

But that was impossible when you were part of the Herondale family and had an Inquisitor for a mother. Freya lay on the bed and sobbed, then fell asleep from exhaustion.

Two years have passed since Leo Branwell's death. Valentine changed his name to Verlac so that Freya could be with him and so that no one would know he was alive.

After changing his name, he moved to the London Institute and entered into an official relationship with Freya. Imogen Herondale, not knowing who the man really was, accepted her daughter's relationship. The man spent a lot of time with Freya and Cordelia, who were the only people who loved him.

Valentine saw his daughter grow, begin to crawl, say her first word - daddy and take her first steps towards her parents. This little girl had him wrapped around her finger and knew how to make him feel better. He didn't even have that bond with his son.

After some time, the man proposed to Freya, and the girl said yes. In that moment he felt like the happiest man in the world.

Currently

Valentine stood at the altar and Robert Lightwood stood next to him. Valentine saw Freya in a beautiful wedding dress and with a bouquet of flowers in her hands. The girl smiled as she walked towards the altar. Their wedding was a great event due to the fact that Freya was the daughter of the Inquisitor. There were important Clave members and guests in the hall.

When Freya was at the altar, Valentine helped her onto the altar and the girl stood in front of him. Maryse stood next to her, holding a pillow with a gold bracelet and a stele. Freya took the gold bracelet from Maryse's pillow and placed it on Valentine's wrist, and the man took the necklace from the pillow and placed it around Freya's neck.

Freya looked at Valentine with a smile on her face, after all, she was marrying the man of her life.

- The time has come for Valentine Verlac and Freya Herondale to mark each other with the rune of marriage - Said the Silent Brother.

Valentine and Freya held hands and turned towards the Silent Brother.

- Rune on the hand, rune on the heart. Unity is born - Said the Silent Brother and touched the crystal block with his staff and after a while the rune of marriage appeared.

Freya took the stele from Maryse's pillow and placed the tip of the stele against the block of ice in front of her. The girl drew a marriage rune on the man's wrist with a stele and then placed it on the pillow.

Valentine took the steles from Robert's pillow and drew a marriage rune over Freya's heart, then, like girl, put the steles back on the pillow. Valentine and Freya joined hands, and the Silent Brother held his staff over their hands.

- Do you, Valentine Verlac, take Freya Herondale to be your wife? - Silent Brother asked Valentine

.

- Yes - Valentine replied with a smile.

- Do you, Freya Herondale, take Valentine Verlac to be your husband? - The Silent Brother asked Freya.

- Yes - Freya replied quickly.

- I now pronounce you husband and wife - Said the Silent Brother. - You may kiss the bride - The Silent Brother informed Valentine.

Valentine and Freya kissed, and the guests began to clap and look at the happy couple. Moments later, they began to descend from the altar, and guests began to congratulate them.

Their daughter Cordelia ran to the couple and Freya picked her up. They have officially become a real family.
