"Clary...Clary?" Jace says smiling as he circles Clary's pregnant belly with his hand

"Clary,you gotta get up?"

"Mmm, Jace, let me sleep." Clary turns to her side and continues sleeping lightly

"Hon, you've been sleeping most of the day. It's 8:10 pm. We have an appointment with Magnus at 10:00. Time to get up."

"Fine. I will get up I guess." says Clary

Jace starts gets clothes ready for Clary "Clary, are you going to get a shower before-"

"Ah" Clary touches her stomach

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah."Clary smiles. "One of them just kicked for the first time." Jace leaned in closer to Clary careful of the twins, his hands shaped against her face and kissed her.

"They did?"

"Yeah. What do you think they are going to be?

"Both boys maybe one girl and one boy. Why? Do you think they are both going to be girls?" Jace said.

"Yeah, I do acttually. Is that a problem?" Clary eased her smile and raised an eyebrow.

"No. But either way I will spoil them." Jace said smiling

"I thought you would say that."

The door opened slowly "Isabelle? What is it?" says Clary curiously.

"Simon's here. He's worried about you, Clary. He said he hasnt heard from you in months. Didn't you tell him?"

"Tell him what?" Clary said as Jace helps her stand up

"You're pregnant."

"No."

"Why?"

"I don't know I just- I didn't want him to worry and he's an old romantic he thinks you should be married before you have kids. And I have a feeling he still likes me a bit and i don't want to make him mad I guess." Clary said, worried about what Isabelle or Jace would say next.

Isabelle looked at Clary.

"Clary, he's going to see your belly. You may as well tell him. I will tell him to be expecting to see something different about you, if that helps."

"Thanks, Isabelle. Could you, please?" Clary rubbed her stomach in a circling motion.

Jace closed the door behind Isabelle. "Clary, do you want to get a shower before we leave?"

"Yeah, what time is it?"

"8:38"

"I guess I have to hurry up. Can you tell Simon to just wait until I'm done getting ready to go?" said Clary as she started heading to the shower.

"Yeah"

"Thank you. I love you!" Clary yelled out to Jace.

"Love you too, Clary!" Jace called back as he waved
