NOTES: Hey everyone! To celebrate Season 2 of Shadowhunters, I thought it'd be fun to write a fanfiction for the show! Please enjoy this first chapter and don't forget to review so I know this story doesn't suck! Thanks!
"How much longer?" I asked.
It had been 3 weeks since Jace and I had sex for the first time. I freaked when my period was late, so I got up the courage to ask Isabelle to come with me to the pharmacy and pick up a pregnancy test, you know, just to be safe.
"Isabelle seriously, how much longer?"
"Will you calm down? It's only been one minute!" Suddenly, the test beeped.
I bulged my eyes at her.
"I guess I lost track of time,"
"You lost track of time playing with your nails when I could be pregnant!"
"Alright, I'm sorry, I'll be better next time,"
"Next time? What makes you think there will be a next time?"
'How many kids d you think Jace wants," Izzy smirked.
"I'm gonna pretend you never said that,"
Isabelle continued to smile as she picked up the test.
"Well?" I asked impatiently.
"Let's just say next time you see your Mother, make sure to tell her Isabelle says hi to Grandma Fray,"
I frowned, "Grandma-, oh my god!"
"Oh come on Clary, it's not that bad!"
"Not that bad? Isabelle I'm 20 years old! I'm nowhere near ready to be a Mom!"
"You can fight demons and be pregnant you know,"
"And risk the baby's life? I don't think so!"
"So you do care,"
"Of course I care, I just, don't know,"
"You don't know what to tell Jace,"
"What do I say? Hey guess what I'm having your baby? Jace's life alone has been so hectic lately. I'll tell him, when the time is right,"
"He did just come back from a hunting trip with Alec. If I were you, the time to tell would be now," Isabelle said as I followed her into the training area where Jace and Alec were having a conversation.
"You're sure we won't have to deal with him?"
"Jae, how many more times are you gonna ask me?"
"Until I know Raphael won't show his face in this institute again. The last time we saw ihm, he had Simon hostage. You know it'd kill Clary if anything happened to him,"
"I know," Alec nodded.
"Welcome home Brother," Isabelle announced.
"Did you miss me?" he asked as he hugged her.
"Hardly," she smiled.
Jace caught me staring at him, he smiled knowingly.
"I'm assuming you hardly missed me as well?" he said, approaching me.
"More than you know," I said, grabbing the lapels of his jacket and bringing him in for a passionate kiss.
"I don't know about you Clary, but I'm sure our boys would love to know what's been going on during their absense,"
"Yea well, luckily no demon attacks, mostly just training. I mean, you never know what to expect when you're a Shadowhunter," I said, looking back at Jace.
"Why don't you two lovebirds find a room, Alec and I have some sibling bonding overdue," I nodded as Jace and I walked to his room.
My heartbeat sped up as I closed the door behind me. Themoment I turned around, Jace crushed me with his body, pressing his lips to mine, his obvious erection warm against me.
"Jace, I know you missed me, I missed you too. But we need to talk," I said between kisses.
Finally, he released me from his soft grip, slightly frowning.
"Clary?"
I sighed, "Come on," I said, taking his hand, pulling him to sit on the bed with me.
I looked deep into his eyes as he faced me. I gave him a sweey smile, bringing my hand up to brush his cheek. He brought his hand up to cover mine, taking it off his cheek and putting it between his hands.
"Something on your mind?" he asked.
"Yea, there is, and it's not something that can wait,"
"We have time, what is it?"
"You remember our trip to Idris?"
"Of course, one of the more romantic trips I've been on,"
"Well," I swallowed.
"A couple days after we returned, my, my-," I stuttered, even though I knew I didn't have to be embarrassed around Jace.
"I realized my period was really late. At first I thought no big it'll come soon. Eventually things got weirder, I started wanting to eat really strange combos of food that would osund really gross if I told you. I constantly felt light headed, I was vomiting every morning. It was a complete nightmare,"
"I'm sorry I wasn't here to help you through all that,"
"It's fine,"
"No, Clary I'm not here for you enough,"
"Have you forgotten? Jace I'm a Shadowhunter too, and sometimes protecting the innocent and defeating evil is more important than love," Jace's smile deepened.
"So i eventually figured out why I've been dealing with all this,"
"Why?"
"Isabelle helped me with the results. Jace, I'm pregnant,"
For a moment or two, he did't move or say anything. I searched his eyes, hoping for something, any little sign that he wasn't going to leave me with this baby.
"Are you kidding me!" he laughed as he picked me up and spun me around the room.
"Jace!" he didn't stop laughing.
"Oh sorry!" he said, gently bringing me back down.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," I giggled.
"Why were you afraid to tell me?"
"Be cause I didn't know what you'd think. I was, afraid you'd leave me,"
"And go where? Calry I would never leave you. We're together for a reason, we lvoe each other. Together, we protect the world from evil. I'm not going to walk away from you now that you're pregnant,"
"Jace, we're young,"
"Yes,"
"Well, most younng irls that turn up pregnant, usually end up in therapy or special housing or something. It's nothing good,"
"It's nothing we can't handle. Now the main question here is, do you want it?"
"Do you? I mean, I know you just ofund out, but from what I've seen on TV, this decision is made pretty fast,"
"Well," said Jace as he sat back down on the bed, looking at my face.
"What do you want Clary?"
"Jace I-,"
"Listen, whatever you want, I want, and I'm not just saying that because I'm your boyfriend. I want to make you happy, I want us to be happy together, and if having a baby makes you happy, then I'm with you,"
"I think I do want it, but I have this gut feeling that keeping it is the wrong choice to make,"
"Maybe it is, so what? Take a risk in life, do something crazy,"
"Having a baby is pretty damn crazy,"
"So what? If your truly want his, why hesitate?"
"Because i don't know if I can do this, be a Mother," Jace smiled softly, taking my face in his hands.
"I know you can," he said as he pressed his lips to mine.
I knew the risks I was taking, the dangers I'd face. But now, it was time to start thinking, how does one juggle motherhood with fighting demons? Not. A. Clue.
