An Interesting Turn Of Events
chapter one: Sweet Baby Jesus...
Clary stared down at the offensive piece of plastic in her hand. One line, one line, please one line, she thought desperately, trying to will things to go her way.
She set it on the table and began to pace. She so didn't need this right now.
What will I tell Jace if it's two lines? she asked herself.
She crept up, her eyes tightly shut. She peeked down at the pregnancy test through one eye and gasped.
Two lines.
"Sweet baby Jesus . . ." she muttered.
A knock on the bathroom door made her jump. "Yes?" she called.
"Clary? It's Isabelle. Are you okay in there?"
Clary sighed. "Not really. Come in, the door's unlocked," she replied.
The door opened, and Isabelle strutted in. When her eyes landed on the pregancy test, they looked like they would pop right out of her head.
"Clary . . . ? Something you need to tell me?" she asked, hands on her hips.
Clary smiled weakly. "Uh . . . I'm pregnant?"
Isabelle squealed and hugged Clary tightly. "Oh my God! I'm gonna be an aunt!" She paused. "Wait, it is Jace's, right?"
Clary rolled her eyes. "Of course it's Jace's."
Isabelle squealed again. "Does Jace know?"
Clary gave her an are-you-stupid look. "Isabelle, I just found out. I haven't left the bathroom yet, so no, he doesn't," she said slowly.
Isabelle clapped. "That means I'm the second person to know!"
Clary laughed. "I guess so. . . . How do you think Jace will take it?" she asked.
Isabelle bit her lip. "Hard to say," she replied. Seeing Clary's worried look, she added, "I'm sure he'll be over the moon, though."
Clary let Isabelle's words reassure her. "Do you know where he is?"
"I think he's in the library."
"Come with me?" she asked.
Isabelle nodded, seeing the terrified look in the smaller girl's emerald eyes. "Come on, Clare. Let's go tell him that he's gonna be a daddy."
Clary's eyes watered in a good way upon hearing those words. It made it seem more real, more special.
She and Isabelle walked arm in arm to the library, figuring he'd be there.
As it turns out, he was.
Jace looked up from his book when Clary and Isabelle walked in, arms linked. He grinned, but then noticed the worry in Clary's eyes.
"Clare? Isabelle? What's wrong?" he asked, glancing back and forth from their faces.
"Clary needs to talk to you, and I need to paint my toenails. Toodles!" Isabelle said with a grin, wiggling her fingers.
"Isabelle!" Clary called, but Isabelle just winked and left.
Jace watched as she fidgeted nervously with the hem of her bright yellow sweater. He got up out of his chair and walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist. She relaxed into him slightly before gently pushing him away, confusing him.
"Clary?" he questioned, searching her face for some clue of what was wrong. He found none; her face was unreadable.
"I think you should sit back down, Jace," she said quietly.
"Okay . . ." Jace replied, plopping back down in his still-warm chair.
Clary sat in the chair opposite him and reached over to take his hands. She looked deeply into his eyes and murmured, "I have something to tell you, but I'm not really sure how you'll take it."
"You're kinda worrying me, Clare. What is it?" he asked gently.
She took a deep breath before saying the two words that would forever change their lives: "I'm pregnant."
I know it's kinda short, but the chapters of this story probably will be pretty short. It's just easier, y'know? But hmm...what will Jace think? Haha you won't know until I update again.
