This is the first chapter of my new story, I have already completed the sequel to this story and that is called Like Mother, Like Daughter...Like Father, Like Son. It doesn't really matter what order you read them in because this one is about Clary and Jace (Clace) and the other one is about their children. I hope you enjoy, if you do please review, or if you have any questions.

To Guest : thank you, your words mean a lot to me

TMIShips4Life : thank you for letting me :)

Clary's P.O.V.

I looked down at my stomach with dismay. I was three months pregnant and it was already noticeable, I had to resort to baggy sweatshirts and jumpers to cover my obvious bump, but it wasn't going to last much longer. Jace and I had decided to tell everyone today, because we were all gathering at the institute for an early birthday party for Izzy (she was going to Idris for something secret). I don't think I could have done this without Jace, even though the baby wasn't his, -it was Sebastian's- he was already acting like a father, and had promised to take care of us. At first we were going to have an abortion, but we had decided against it. Sure it might be part Sebastian but it was also part me, and I had more angel blood than other shadow hunters. I was desperately hoping it would be strong enough to overpower Sebastian's demon blood. I was trying to figure out how to say this to everyone when they hurried into the room with a birthday cake and LOTS of presents. After we sang happy birthday to Izzy and she opened her presents Jace stood up and coughed loudly, gathering everyone's attention.

" Clay and I have some news we would like to share with you all, " he said and I stood up next to him.

" I'm pregnant, " I said, not wanting to beat around the bush. There was a flurry of conversation as people digested the news. A few people exclaiming congratulations and others whispered in hush voices, most likely commenting on my age, I wasn't even 17 yet.

" And there is something else we would like you to know. " He urged me forward. I hesitated this time, not sure of how the news would be received.

" The baby is Sebastian's. " At this the hushed voices grew louder. I could see pity in many people's eyes and I felt a deep well of shame build up inside me.

"Get an abortion. You are carrying the Devil's child!" Said a voice at the back of the room.

Tears started to fall down my cheeks and Jace grabbed me and ushered me down a hallway that led to a small back room.

Izzy ran in and suffocated me in a hug.

" I'm sorry for ruining your birthday. " I said as I wiped away the tears streaming down my face.

" You didn't ruin it, Olive Highsmith did. She is a royal bitch and she had no right to say what she did, " she said looking at me with that fire in her eyes that I loved about Izzy.

I straightened up and mentally scolded myself. I wasn't going to let stupid Olive Highsmith dictate how I felt. Izzy was right, she was a royal bitch. Isabelle looked up at Jace and signalled for him to leave. He nodded and soundlessly left the room. I sighed, I had lots of explaining to do. As I was watching Jace leave, Izzy took advantage of my distraction and lifted up my loose dress to see my rounding belly, and my embarrassing pink undies.

" You sure are big, do you know if you're having twins? " she said and I shook my head.

" I've only been to one checkup, but they said they could only see one. " Izzy didn't seem satisfied by this and made me book an appointment the next day to check. After it had been booked, she finally relaxed, sitting back on the futon. After a while of comfortable silence, Izzy left to go attend to her guests, and I dragged my sluggish feet all the way to my room and fell asleep on top of the covers. I felt Jace tuck me in and I tried to thank him, but my eyelids were heavy and my mouth wouldn't process the words, and soon I was lost, to the dreamworlds.

~The Next Day~

Jace's P.O.V.

Clary held my hand as we walked into the doctor's office and I could tell how nervous she was, it was written all over her face from her furrowed eyebrows to her tight grip on my hand that made it feel as if it was about to break. I smirked at her, even when she was nervous she looked cute.

" Clare bear, I know you're nervous, but I can't feel my hand, " I said, and she released my hand looking apologetic.

" Sorry, I'm just a little worried, I mean what if it is twins. I'm only 16 and I'm going to be a mother, and what if they are like him, " she spat out the last word like it was poison. I sighed, trying to think of something witty and sarcastic to say to lighten the mood, but it was to no avail, my mind was completely and utterly blank. I was saved by a middle aged doctor, who came out of her office to call in the next patient.

" Clarissa Morgenstern. " Clary and I got up and headed towards the room, the nurse eyed me suspiciously.

" Are you the father? " She asked.

" Um...No... " I said feeling annoyed.

" Well are you of any direct relation to Clarissa, are you married, perhaps? " the doctor said, to which Clary shook her head, looking white with apprehension.

" Not yet, " I said firmly.

" Well then I'm afraid you're not allowed in, you can sit in the waiting room if you'd like, " she said gesturing behind me towards the chairs where we had been sitting a moment before. I shook my head in anger and stalked back to my seat, taking out my phone and texting Isabelle, asking if they were allowed to kick me out just because I wasn't the father.
