Jace and Clary are pregnant.
I am a big fan of Cassandra Clare's books especially The Mortal Instruments, All credit goes to her this is just what i imagined what could possibly happen after book 6 the city of heavenly fire. please read and leave an honest review. There is more to upload but i would like some feed back before i post it. Thanks for reading it means a lot to me.
In this story Clary realises she pregnant but this is no normal pregnancy. Clary and Jace try and come to terms with the truth but it seams a much darker presence is hiding in the shadows putting everyone at risk. Clary's pregnancy takes a strange turn when her baby develops much faster than it should. She's then kidnapped by a mysterious man who wants to steal her baby. The light woods are forced to go to battle and find her but will they all survive or will it be too late to save everyone?
It has only been a month since the death of Clary 's brother. Life had begin to settle down again but although Clary had previously hated her brother she found herself saddened by the loss, and found herself grieving for the brother she could of had in the same way Jocelyn had grieved for the son she never had. With Jocelyn and Luke spending a lot of time in Idris and moving into Luke's farm house for the majority of the year and enjoying their new found relationship which has been a long time in the making. Clary had almost fully moved in to the institute her room was on the same corridor as Jace's and just down the hall from Isabelle's and Alec's. Jocelyn and Maryce had made it clear they did not want Jace and Clary to be sharing a room, but the pair still managed to be cuddled up in bed together most nights. Jace and Clary where growing closer with every day that passed they no longer had anything stopping them for being a regular Functioning couple ( well as regular as you could be when you live within the shadow world). They could finally relax with no drama in their lives, or so they thought...
Clary awoke like a spring she flung herself into a sitting position with a sudden gasp for air. Jace who was sat up in bed next to her reading instantly dropped his book and grabbed her arm "Clary? Clary?... What's wrong?"
Clary couldn't answer the entire room around her felt like it was spinning, when she tried to speak her words couldn't part from her lips, she grabbed Jace's hand and could feel herself trembling. "Clary? Clary? Clary answer me please, what's wrong?" by now Jace had moved so he was sat in front of her . "J-J-J Jace I. ." her words still wouldn't come out, Clary felt the need to vomit she found herself retching but knowing that she hadn't eating much for the past few days reminded her that she probably didn't have anything in her stomach she could possibly throw up. All the colour from Jace's face had been drained, even his eyes had lost their golden sparkle. As Clary forced herself to relax she took a few deep breaths and turned towards Jace. "Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me I just feel weird"
As she spoke Jace began looking at her, Clary could see he was extremely anxious and worried. "stay here I'll run you a hot bubble bath and you can tell me what's wrong okay?" Clary nodded and watched as Jace turned away and slipped into the bathroom. Clary placed her head in her hands and closed her eyes, she focused her mind on steadying her breathing and thought about what could be wrong with her, was it hunger? Clary knew she hadn't eaten for a few days so it couldn't be food poisoning, maybe it was just a viral infection she thought but her whole body felt different, her back hurt and her ankles where twice their normal size. Whilst she was lost in thought Jace had returned in to the room, he had called her name several times but she hadn't noticed he had returned until he knelt down at the side of her pulling her hands from her face."Clary? Come on I've run you a bath just the you like it, even though personally I think it would be much better with me in it with you." Jace smiled as he spoke to try make her cheer her up although it didn't do much good. as Clary looked up she realised she was crying, Jace pulled her up and drew her in, holding her in his arms, as he always did, but Clary felt numb. As Jace half let go of her ensuring she could stand before he began to walk towards the bathroom door Clary stopped she opened her mouth to speak the world around her slipped away until all she could see was darkness she drew in one last harsh breath before she crumpled to the floor and dove deeper And deeper into the darkness.
Jace screamed for help, Clary was completely unresponsive, her pulse was slow and her skin had turned grey. "Clary, Clary come on speak to me... ALEC, ISSABELLE!" Jace screamed. Alec burst in to the room with Issabelle close behind him, within a split second they were by Jace's side looking over Clary's still body.
Alec eyes widened "What's happened to her? I can't see any demon bites or venom on her skin?" as he spoke Isabelle had already drawn her stele from her boot and was tracing a itraze on Clary's forearm, but the rune simply faded away. The three started at each other, none of them knew why Clary was like this. Jace finally broke to silence "We need to get her to the infirmary now!" Alec and Isabelle stepped back, giving Jace enough room to swing Clary up into his arms. Her body was lifeless, with each minute that passed fear rose deeper and deeper within Jace.
Alec had run ahead to the infirmary clearing a bed for Clary to lay on. As Isabelle held the doors open for Jace, Alec fumbled around in his pockets and drew out his phone."Seriously Alec! now is not the best time for you to be taking selfie ! "Jace snapped. Small murmurs Came for Clary who was still unconscious and now sprawled out across the bed. "I'm not taking a selfie you idiot" Alec turned to face Jace as he spoke. "I'm calling Magnus he may know what's wrong with her." Alec voice was calm and reassuring, not that Jace paid much attention, his brain was muddled and his heart pounded inside his chest
. He was gripping Clary's hand and brushing her hair of her face and behind her ear. Clary was so small compared to them, but Jace had never seen her as frail, or vulnerable before until now. "Magnus is on his way, he said to keep checking her pulse and to talk to her, it may help to wake up ." As Alec returned to Clary bedside both Jace and Isabelle had tears in their eyes, as shadowhunters they had seen many people hurt or close to death but they knew why. Where as right now there was no explanation and the group stared at each other lost for words and feeling completely useless.
The infirmary doors swung open as Magnus joined Jace at Clary's bedside. By now Alec and Isabelle had moved away giving Jace some space to try talking to Clary and to calm himself down before he drove himself mad. Jace usually wasn't like this, he was used to seeing people injured even Clary but he always managed to keep a level head but this time it was different something felt wrong although he couldn't explain why.
The ground began to shake and a portal formed. Alec and Issabelle watched as magus stepped into the infirmary but Jace hardly notice he couldn't take his eyes away from Clary not even for a second.
"How long has she been like this?" Magnus questioned. "There's no obvious injuries so it may be a spell or an Mundane internal issue" Jace looked up "I don't know she woke up in a state trying to vomit and completely black out she couldn't move or speak then when she stood up she collapsed, I-I-I I just don't know what's wrong please tell me you can find out what's wrong" his voice was unsettled, and he kept forgetting his words, which only caused him more frustration. Magnus turned to Alec and Isabelle, "I need to draw energy from the institute to find the issue, if you are all nearby I will draw energy from all 3 of you making you weak and unfit to aide Clary" Alec was hesitant but stood, up and walked towards Jace putting a hand on Jace shoulder and pulling away from the bed. Jace argued at first as Alec pulled him away and into the corridor. he tried to fight Alec off but Alec still had the upper hand. Jace knew he was much stronger than Alec but by using his strength he could hurt his parabatai and loose his strength which he needed to hold on too for Clary.
Magnus stood at Clary bedside he moved his hands in the outline of Clary's body shape. By drawing energy from the institute he was able to regain Clary's conciseness in much more powerful way than an itraze ever could. Once he felt the energy pass through him and channel into Clary her eyes began to flutter open. She made a few muffled sounds before she was able to focus on where she was. "What happened? Why am I here?" her voice was unsteady and her words where slurring. She lifted her head up and looked around the room. The infirmary was empty other than Clary and Magnus. The witch light around the room was dimmer than it usually was, after Magnus had channel the institutes power.
"Magnus? What happened to me, I remember standing up and Jace holding me but then it all went black? " Clary voice was still unsteady, her eyes sparkled with tears but she didn't know why she was crying. "Magnus I feel scared but I don't know what of? I don't feel like myself. Do you know what I mean" Magnus stepped back from Clary ,by now he had a strong suspicion as to what was wrong with Clary. "Clarrisia, I believe I know what's caused your blackout." Magnus spoke in a calm tone as he looked down towards Clary, he raised his hands up and held very still hovering other Clary stomach. Blue sparks shot out the end of his fingers. Clary's eyes widened as she watched him. "Magnus what are you doing? Is there something wrong with me?" Magnus heard Clary voice but he didn't lose his focus, he began to chant something witch Clary couldn't understand, she thought it was in Latin but he was talking too fast for her To comprehend the words. Panic rose in Clary, she looked up towards Magnus who still held his focus on her stomach, "Magnus..." as Clary began to speak an image appeared above Magnus 's hands, The image looked like an x-ray, but Clary wondered why Magnus was showing her this. Clary spoke with fear in her voice her, hands where trembling as she spoke, she fumbled for words but they all came out in a long stutter. After a moment she took a few deep breaths and moved her eyes towards Magnus. "why are you showing me this?".
Magnus looked down on Clary he was now definitely sure he knew what was wrong with Clary. "Clarrisia darling, there's a simple explanation for this, I'm a bit stunned as to why you didn't already know." he paused taking a second to look at Clary, her skin had lost all its colouring. "Clary you where not raised like other shadowhunters, although you are training you still are not as strong as you should be and when a shadowhunter child is conceived they draw more energy they from their mother than a regular mundane baby would, you blacked out because you have not eaten sufficiently you are weak and your child is taking all of your energy".
Clary's mouth dropped open and her eyes instantly filled with tears, a million thoughts whizzed through Clary's mind, how could this be? Memories of being in the demon realm with Jace came flooding back to her, that night laid on top of their clothes across the sand, that magical moment which every girl could only dream of... Clary turned away from Magnus and sat herself up in her bed still feeling weak and dizzy "you mean I'm. ..I'm ...pregnant?".
Magnus watched Clary as the facts set in, he, didn't have to speak Clary knew he wouldn't lie to her. After a minute he raised his hands to the x-ray image which was still hovering other Clary's stomach, "Clary, look at what I am showing you" as Magnus clicked his figures a blue spark shot out and the image which showed many different parts of Clary's body all faded away leaving only a single shape visible. "this what I'm showing you now Clary. This is the baby growing inside you, I believe it's been growing inside you for just over a month, does that sound right ? When could this have happened?" Clary had stopped crying their there was not more tears left to cry, she was desperately hoping this was not true but then reality began to set in. " Magnus how didn't I notice, how didn't I notice I'm pregnant aren't you supposed to be able to tell or something?" words poured out of Clary's mouth she could hardly breath and found herself gasping for air.
With another click of his fingers Magnus dismissed the image and sat down next to Clary, he took hold of her hands and looked up at her face. "Clary you need to stay calm and you need to eat something, your still very weak and there's only so much that itrazes or runes can help you with." Magnus sounded genuinely concerned for Clary, even though he was usually the type of person who didn't show much emotion other than amusement. Clary lifted her head and met Magnus eyes with her own. "I just don't believe this is real, and that I didn't realise, how can I ever miss a period without noticing." The tears had returned and started rolling down Clary's cheeks once again. "b-but what will Jace say, what if he does not want a baby? He might leave me and then what would I do? What will everyone say my mum is only just starting to get along with Jace she just going to hate him now." she felt herself begin to panic again so stopped talking and took a few long deep breaths before speaking again. "so now I'm not only Clarissia Morgensten, now I'm valentines daughter and going to be a teen mother! In the eyes of the cave I'm still a child..."
