Chapter 1
My name is Clary Fairchild. My best friends Simon and Isabelle Lewis and myself own an art gallery together. Izzy and Simon got married a year out of high school. We've been friends since we were 7. Right now I was sitting on my bed watching Isabelle fly through my closet looking for an outfit for tonight's art function.
Let me tell you about some of my back story. My mom, Jocelyn had an affair with my 'dad' Valentine's best friend Luke and became pregnant with me. Two years before I was born my mom and Valentine had a son named Jonathan. He lives in LA with his wife Kaelie and daughter Millie. Anyway, my mom and Valentine died in a car accident when I was 7 and that's when I met Simon and Izzy.
About four and a half months ago I went on a short holiday in LA to visit my brother. I followed Isabelle's advice when she said I should have fun. Ha well that turned out well. I was in a bar one night and met this gorgeous guy. When I tell you he was gorgeous you better believe me.
He was like a Greek God, his features were bold and chiselled, and he had golden hair that curled at the edges. His skin had a perfect tan, and his eyes, oh my Angel his eyes were this golden honey shade that you would melt looking into. This golden God's name was Jace.
After I met him we had a few drinks, danced for a bit and then he invited me back to his place. Well as you know things got hot and sweaty. I left LA the next day going back home to Miami. Little did I know three weeks later I was feeling nauseous every morning, getting weird cravings, my emotions were heightened and not to mention I didn't get a certain monthly visitor.
Only Isabelle and Simon properly know about what happened and everything else.
I woke from my reverie when Isabelle chucked a dress at me. "Clary stop day dreaming and get your ass changed!" She yelled.
I walked into the bathroom and stripped down to my underwear. I stopped for a moment when I saw myself in the mirror. Looking at my stomach at an angle you can definitely see a small but visible bump.
'Oh Angel how am I going to be able to hide this soon?' I thought as I pull on the dress that Isabelle chose for me: It was a red bandage dress with the chest part a gold sequins covering it with the sleeves a black sheer cotton.
I stepped out of the bathroom to see Izzy standing at my vanity with a straightener, curler and make-up. Time for torture.
About two hours later Isabelle and I were waiting in the living room for Simon to pick us up. "So Clary when are you going to tell your dad that you're pregnant?"
I sighed. "I honestly don't know Iz. I don't want to tell Jon because knowing him he would hunt the father down and kill him. They live in the same state for Angel's sake! And I can't even tell the father because all I know about him is that he lives in LA and his name is Jace. What am I going to do Iz?"
She walked up to me and hugged me. "I don't know Clare-bear. But what I do know is that we have an extremely wealthy business, with you doing the thing you love. You have me and Simon with you every step of the way. Now come on Simon's waiting outside."
This function was going well so far. I've talked to some potential buyers for my paintings. Wandered around, but had to stop because the black Angel strap high heels were killing me and now I was talking to Simon, Isabelle, her brother Alec and his boyfriend Magnus. Suddenly I saw a flash of gold hair.
I shook my head. 'No it couldn't be.'
I pulled Isabelle away for a second. "Iz I'm going to tell them. I'm ready." We re-joined the group.
"Guys I have something to tell you." I took a deep breath and saw Simon and Izzy smiling. "I'm pregnant."
All of a sudden I am attacked with hugs by Magnus and Alec. "Baby girl that is wonderful news." Magnus whispers in my ear. Then they left to go and mingle with other guests. I turned around to see Golden God walking right towards me.
"Hey Red. I heard you owned this place." He smirked.
I felt my cheeks heat up. "Hi Jace, what are you doing here?"
He shrugged. "Needed a change, so I moved. Anyway I heard you were here tonight and I was going to ask you something."
"Yes?"
"Would you go out with me tomorrow?" 'Oh Angel I'm going to have to tell him soon.'
"Uh, yeah sure. When and where?"
"I was thinking dinner and a movie at my place. Can I get your number?" I nodded and we swapped phones. I put my number in and handed it back to him.
"There. Pick me up here any time." We said bye and I walked to the snacks table When Isabelle was in my face.
"Okay. Who was that hunk?" She questioned. "And you shouldn't be dating randoms in your condition."
I sighed. "Iz I love you and your protectiveness okay. But that was not some random. That was Jace."
She squealed. "You mean baby daddy Jace?"
I nodded. "Yes. Now I'm just going to go to my studio. I don't feel like talking to anyone else."
The next morning Isabelle decided to Skype me and decide what I'm wearing. I left my house wearing a black crop top- unfortunately showing my small bump- denim short shorts, an over-sized cardigan and high heel black and white wedges.
'Curse that Isabelle Lewis.'
All throughout the day I was working on a new painting.
A golden Angel.
Lunch time arrived and Izzy thought it would be nice to take me to Starbucks.
"So?" She started. "Have you told sexy ass that you're pregnant?"
'Ah Izzy always so blunt.'
"No Iz." I took a bite of my sandwich. Suddenly I felt a small tweak in my lower abdomen. 'Ugh it's probably nothing.'
When we got back to the studio I felt a few more tweaks.
7pm came like a blur.
"Clary, someone's here to see you!" I hear Isabelle yell from the lobby.
"Coming!" I packed my paints and brushes away and sauntered into the lobby. There I saw Isabelle and Jace talking away like old friends.
"Hey." Jace noticed me and greeted me. "Ready to go?"
I nodded and he took my hand leading out to his motorcycle. With Isabelle yelling behind us. "Be safe and have fun!"
"By the Angel Isabelle." I muttered with Jace laughing besides me.
At around 9:30 we went back to his hotel to watch a movie. Jace decided on The Fast and the Furious 6. Half way through the movie I had no clue what was going on. All I knew was that Paul Walker is so hot driving the cars.
This is my first Fanfic. Please review and tell me if i should continue. I will accept criticism but nothing too horrible.
