(A/N) Hello, my lovely readers! I'm new to this whole fanfiction thing and this is my first fanfic, so no haters please! Thankyou…3 And also, this takes place in modern times but is using the characters from Victorian England. I am a huge fan of Jem and Tessa so my stories will mostly revolve around them.
Disclaimer: None of the characters belong to me, all to the wonderful Cassie Clare.,

~ Chapter 1~
Tessa Gray paced the length of her bathroom attached to her room at the London Institute impatiently waiting for the white stick on the counter to give her an answer. "Please don't be two lines, please don't be two lines" She thought to herself. She had been throwing up every morning for about a week now, and she was starting to get worried.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a little beeping noise coming from the white stick. She looked over and asked God one more time for one line. She wanted a baby of course, but she wasn't married to Jem yet. Jem. If the stick showed two lines, Jem would be a Daddy in 9 months. "Oh God, how will I tell him if it's positive…" Tessa hitched up her courage and with a shaking hand, picked up the test. Two lines. She sank to the ground and started to sob. "How will Jem react? What if he doesn't want the baby? Oh God, what if he leaves me?"
Her thoughts were once again interrupted by a soft knock on the bathroom door. "Come in." She answered weakly. The door opened and Jem came in, "Tessa, what's wrong, love? You were late for dinner, so I came up to check on you and I heard-" He stopped abruptly once he saw the pregnancy test in her shaking hands.
He slowly met her eyes and she tried to read the expression behind them. After what seemed like forever, he finally said "Are you really pregnant?" Tessa slowly nodded her
head, afraid he might turn around and leave any second. His reaction was one she did not expect at all. He jumped up and grabbed her by the waist swinging her around until she was dizzy. When he finally put her down he looked her in the eye and she saw what she wanted- no, needed- to see. In his eyes there was so much love, and happiness and excitement that she had ever seen. If possible, more than when she agreed to marry him four months ago. He kissed her passionately, and then knelt down and lifted up her shirt, kissing her stomach while saying "I love you, Tessa. I will always love you. You and our child. Maybe in the future it can be children." The moment was so perfect, Tessa never wanted to move, but then the moment was ruined by her stomach growling. Jem laughed and stood up, pulling down her shirt and kissed her lips once more before saying "Let's go get you some dinner, apparently you and the baby are both hungry." Then he took her hand, leading her down the corridor to the dinning room.
What did ya think? Good or bad? I am thinking about making this a two-shot, might be longer…Who knows? Anyway…until next time my lovelies!
