Hello everyone, I've decided to re-write this story and make it better, I know a lot of you really liked it and I am so glad, but some of the stuff I wrote here almost four years ago when I was fourteen, makes me cringe now I'm almost eighteen. I want to look back and read this without cringing and wishing I had done it differently. I'll also be adding in a few things from the t.v. show, namely Lydia. She and Alec aren't engaged or involved romantically in the story but they were once engaged, it will all be explained in the story.
Also like in the show Downworlder's can enter the institute I hope you like it!

Chapter 1.
*CLARY'S P.O.V.*
"So you and Jace, you're really serious now huh?" Simon asks, sitting next to me on his bed, where I'm sprawled out trying to finish a book.
"Yeah, we've been dating for about two months now, neither of us has dated anyone else that long." I explain. I had a few boyfriends before, 2 or 3 but they were nowhere near this serious and only lasted a few weeks. Jace has been with a lot of girls but he's never been serious with anyone but me.
"I am happy for you, you know, I'm just worried, you're as much my sister as Rebecca is." Simon says.
"I know and I understand why you're worried, but the fact that you support my relationship with Jace means a lot to me, and you're the brother Sebastian should have been to me, wherever he is." I say, squeezing Simon's hand.
Before I can ask about he and Isabelle, there's a knock on the door and his mom Elaine steps in.
"Dinner's ready, Clary you're more than welcome to join us." She says.
"What are we having?" Simon asks, before I can thank Elaine and agree to stay. There's some meals and foods he's been able to keep down, even though vampires aren't supposed to be able to handle any food at all, Simon- like some really old vampires- has trained himself into being able to hold down selected foods.
"Spaghetti Bolognese, I made some with tofu for you, Si." Elaine says. For some reason I've been craving spaghetti all day, I've had weird cravings for the past few weeks.
Simon jumps up when he hears what's for dinner. Spaghetti is one of things he's managed to train himself into keeping down.
"Sweet, coming Clary?" He says.
"Yeah." I say, getting up and following he and Elaine downstairs. When I get into the kitchen the strong smell of garlic hits me and I instantly feel sick to my stomach. The further I walk into the kitchen the worse the nausea gets.
When I sit down at the table and Rebecca places a plate of garlic bread down, I just know I'm going to be sick.
"Clary, are you okay? you look really pale." Simon says.
"I'm gonna be sick." I say, before standing up and running to the bathroom, where I collapse in front of the toilet just in time.
I soon hear footsteps, two sets, and feel a cold hand rubbing my back- Simon.
"Oh Clary are you alright? Do you want me to drive you home?" Elaine gently asks, handing me a glass of water, when I sit back against the toilet.
"No I'm fine thanks, I think it's just some sort of stomach bug or something, I've been having weird cravings these past few weeks and certain strong smells keep making me sick." I say. Elaine pales and she quietly says
"Oh Clary… could you be… pregnant?" Pregnant? No I can't be! I'm only sixteen, Jace and I have only done it once and we used a condom!
"I-I don't think so, i-it was only once a-and we used a condom!" I say.
"It only takes one-time Clary, and the condom could've easily failed, it can rip without you even noticing. You should take some tests; I'll take you to the pharmacy after dinner alright?" Elaine says.
I nod as Simon helps me up and back out to the kitchen, where there's no more garlic bread to make me sick again.
All through dinner I can't stop thinking about the fact I could be pregnant, I'm only sixteen I have no experience with kids, will Jace want the baby? Will he leave me if I keep it?
*Half an hour later*
"Well, what do they say?" Simon asks, as I come out of the bathroom after taking two pregnancy tests.
"T-they're post positive." I say in a shaky voice.
Simon pulls me into a hug and I feel a few tears trickle down my face.
"It's gonna be okay, I support you no matter what choice you make." Simon whispers.
"I have to tell Jace." I whisper.
"Want me to come with you?" Simon asks. I nod and soon we head to the institute.
As Simon and I make our way to Jace's room where I hope he'll be, we bump into Lydia.
"Clary, what are you doing here so late?" She asks. I don't usually stay the night at the institute nor do I stay late into the evening, I've stayed a few times but not very often. I just prefer to be at home.
"I-I need to talk to Jace, is here?" I ask.
"He's in the training room with Alec, want me to go get him?" Lydia asks. I'd prefer not to do this in front of Alec, so maybe it's best for Jace to come to me instead of me going to him while he's with Alec.
"I-If you don't mind, we'll wait in the main room." I say.
*10 minutes later*
"Clary is everything okay?" Jace asks, walking into the room with Alec behind him.
"I-I'd rather we talked in private." I say.
"Clary this sounds pretty serious, you've got Simon to support you, I want Alec here to support me, anything you can say to me you can say to him." Jace says.
"It's not that I don't trust Alec, I-I just want to talk alone." I say.
"But your definition of alone is you, me and Simon, what's one more person? Alec is half of me, Clary, he's my brother, if Simon stays so does Alec." Jace says. I can't do this without Simon here, so I guess I'm just going to have to let Alec stay.
"Alright, fine." I quietly say.
"So what is it we need to talk about? Do we need to talk about something? Lydia never said." Jace says. Oh by the angle, how do I do this? How do I tell Jace I'm carrying his child?
"I-I have to tell you something." I say.
"What is it?" Jace asks.
"I-I… I'm pregnant."
I hope you liked the changes I made, Jace's reaction and everyone else's' will be different but you'll see how next chapter.
Please review and let me know what you thought.
Thanks for reading.
