Jace POV
I told Clary to put the ring in her pocket so that when we told everyone, it would be a surprise. She reluctantly gave in just as Alec and Magnus showed up. "Congratulations," Magnus said as him and Alec walked into the restaurant and to our large table.
"Alec, you told him?" I asked.
"Yes," he answered.
"Did you tell anyone else?" I asked hoping he didn't.
"No."
"Good," Clary said watching her mother and Luke walk in. She hugged them both as Alec and Magnus sat down.
Everyone else arrived and only when almost everyone was done eating, did Clary say anything. "Umm... Jace and I have something to tell everyone." When people got quiet, she grabbed my hand and looked at me. I nodded and she went on, "We... We are engaged." She smiled waited for someone to say something when Jocelyn and Mayrse both stood up and came over to hug us.
"Congratulations, guys," Simon said smiling. Izzy looked a little bit sad though. "Yea, congratulations," she said putting on a fake smile.
"So when did this happen? Details. Details!" Magnus said looking giddy.
We told everyone everything that happened last night. When Isabelle said she didn't feel good. Clary went into the bathroom shortly after to check on her.
Clary POV
I walked into the bathroom to find Izzy crying at the mirror. She looked up at me and wiped her eyes. "Hey Clary. I'm really happy for you and Jace."
"Is that why your crying," I asked.
"No, I-I'm...I'm pregnant."
I gaped at Izzy for a little too long because she started crying again. "Iz, come on Izzy, it's okay, no one even knew that could happen with Simon a vampire," I said and put my hand on her shoulder reassuringly. "D-does he know?"
"No, I was going to tell him tonight. We aren't even married. How do I know that he'll even want to stay with me when he finds out? Clary, please can you talk to him for me? I... I want to make sure that he'll be okay with this before I tell him. And don't tell anyone else. Please?"
"Ya, definitely, Iz. I won't tell anyone, and I'll talk to Simon for you," I said. I helped her fix her makeup, and we walked back to the table. Izzy still wasn't very happy when we left, but she was looking much happier than before.
The next day I told Jace I was going over to Simon's apartment. I went outside and hailed a cab. It was so hot outside, almost unbearable. When I got to Simon's apartment, he was still in his pajamas. "Hey," he said looking tired. His hair was all tousled, like he'd been in a wind storm.
"Hey. You know it's eleven o'clock, right?" I asked him.
"Ya I slept in a little bit," he yawned, "So, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"You're my best friend, can't I just come over to hand out?" I said, but he looked unconvinced. "Fine. I'm here to talk about you and Izzy. She wants to tell you something, and told me to come here and talk to you first."
"Clary, you're scaring me. What is this about?" he asked. "Wait is she going to break up with me? Please don't tell me she's gonna do that."
"Oh no, God no. Izzy really truly loves you, but she's...um...she wants to have kids, Simon. She know you two can't, but she still wants to. She told me to come here and ask you if you'd ever want kids too."
"Well, yea, but I mean this is... I don't know. I want to have kids I guess, but I... I don't know, this is I conversation I would like to have later. Like when I'm not twenty one," he said awkwardly.
"Um okay," I said trying to change the subject, "Do you have food? I'm starving."
"Yea, I have a mini bag of Cheetos," he said shrugging.
"Oh right, you probably wouldn't have any other food. Okay well I need coffee. Want to go walk with me?"
"No I have to put clothes on and stuff, so see you later?" he asked.
"Yes," I saluted with a fake seriousness. He saluted back and I left laughing.
Tell me if you guys like this so far.
