This is the combined workings of myself and claryxjace. This is our story which we are working on together! Hope you like it!
She was sitting on the bench in the park watching happy couples walk past her. Her heart broke a little but more. "Why…why did you do this to me?" She said in a whisper that only reached her ears. She looked up from the puddle that was forming from the light drizzle that was falling; she stared at it for a long while remembering the events from earlier in the day.
Flashback~
She was bringing Jace over some soup to surprise him. He hadn't been feeling well so he cancelled their date. She was walking to the porch when she passed Jaces' living room window. She peered in and swore she saw something from a movie. It had to be because it was the only thing that made sense in her mind. Jace was sitting on the couch with the skimpy head cheerleader Aline, and holding her like he would her. She dropped the thermos of soup and ran.
She somehow ended up here, in the park. She put her hand on her stomach and took a deep breath. "What are we going to do?" She paused for a minute. "I won't be able to do this alone you know?" Clary winced as a pain went through her stomach. It was almost as if it were trying to say everything would work out, she guessed it was trying to communicate. Clary shook the thought away, nothing would be alright. How could it? The love of her life was cheating on her and she didn't even know if he would want to take his responsibility. She ran through all the things he could do when she told him. He could lash out and call her a whore, denying it was his kid, which Clary hoped to God wouldn't happen. She hoped that he would step up and take care of his kid even if they weren't together. He had been her first serious boyfriend and she remained faithful to him, so why couldn't he do the same with her. Her mind carried on with tons of aimless thoughts and worries, she didn't realize even the rain and turned into a downpour. The now little puzzle was a giant puddle and everyone had long deserted the place. She stood up and started to head home. She passed by Jaces' house, looked at it for a second, and continued on. Clary took off her sopping shoes and jacket as she got inside. She had no idea how she was going to tell her parents about this, let alone Jace. She didn't know when the right moment was to tell them. She smelled an intoxicating aroma of herbs, garlic, and tomato sauce. Her mouth watered. Her parents must be cooking spaghetti. She walked to the kitchen and greeted her parents.
"When will dinner be done?" Clary asked and leaned over the pot of noddles.
"In a little while." Jocelyn said and Clary started upstairs.
Once she reached her room she heard her cell phone start to vibrate on her dresser. She didn't even bother with the caller I.D. She picked it up reluctantly. She didn't want to talk to anyone right now.
"Hello?" She asked the person on the other end on the line.
"Hey! What's up?" She took a deep sharp breath. She wasn't exactly expecting him to call; she thought he would still be with Aline.
"Oh hey Jace, nothing really. I just got home from the park. You sound better." She spoke to him as if she were dead to him already.
"I am feeling better. My mom said it was probably just a 24 hour thing."He replied calmly, even she would have believed him, if she hadn't seen him with Aline. She felt another sharp pain in her stomach. Stretching? Ugh, I wish you would stop, she thought to herself.
"Jace can you meet me in the park? We need to talk." She had to tell him.
"Um…sure I'll be there in 40 minutes so both of us can get ready. Is that okay?"
"Yeah that's perfect see you soon." Clary hung up the phone and looked toward the closet. Was there a certain thing you were supposed to wear when you were about to tell your soon to be father of your child you were pregnant? She grabbed random things out of her closet. She decided that she had better jump in the shower.
After her shower she got the feeling, today was going to be a long day. She threw on dark jeans, converse, a pink FOX t-shirt, and a black zip up jacket that fit her on all the right places. She ran the blow dryer through her red hair and then brushed it back into a pony tail. She examined herself after she was done. "Thank god I don't have a baby bump yet or this would have been really hard to wear." She grabbed her purse and headed out. Luckily, the rain had stopped since she had been out. Clary made her way back to the park. She found Jace by a tree. He was wearing dark jeans, converse, a blue t-shirt, and a gray jacket. He looked beautiful, she noted as she made her way across the grass. She felt another stretch of her stomach and wished it would just stop already. She stood in front of him now, his gold eyes gawking at her in silence. It was like this for a few minutes, but was soon broken.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Jace egged her to start talking.
"I know Jace. About everything,you don't have to hide it." She whispered looking up at him.
"What are you talking about?" He asked.
"I know about her." Clary hissed out the last two words and Jace said nothing for a moment then spoke.
"Clary, I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you I-"
"Save it Jace Herondale. I know you like her more than me. I understand."
"But Clary I don't, I'm just a big idiot."
"Stop. That's not the main thing I wanted to talk to you about." She stated and this caught Jace off guard.
"It isn't?"
"No Jace I wanted to say that I'm –" She couldn't find the words. They were stuck in her throat.
"You're what? You're scaring me, what is it? What's wrong?" Jace asked in a worried tone.
"I'm pregnant Jace." She said in a hushed tone on the verge of tears.
"What?" Jace asked not hearing what she had said.
"Pregnant. I'm pregnant Jace." Things were silent for a few minutes. Clary looked at her feet, not wanting to see his expression. Jace couldn't really process the information. After a while he took a deep breath. "Are you sure?" Clary nodded not looking up at him. "Wow…" Clary didn't respond. "What are you going to do?"
"What am I going to do?" She couldn't believe it. He didn't want any part of this. He had knocked her up and was just going to let her deal with it by herself.
"Yeah are you getting rid of it or putting it up for adoption."
"I knew I shouldn't have told you. I am keeping it Jace. I'm not giving OUR baby up for adoption or killing it. She put a hand on her stomach, protectively.
"Clary we're in high school. I'm barely 18. We can't take care of a kid."
"So now it's we! Make up your mind Jace! You got me pregnant! You have responsibility too! But if you don't want any part then stay out of my life! If you do then you are in it for the long haul. No backing out." He knew what he wanted to do and he knew what every teenage boy would do. He wanted to be with Clary and the baby but he didn't know if he was ready to be a father which made him want to walk away. Jace touched her stomach. Their baby was inside her. And as weird as it sounded to him, it made Jace smile.
"Okay. We'll do this together."
