Previously...

"Just two days ago you were pissed about Jace getting me knocked up. And now you're jumping up and down because he wants to keep the baby?" I asked confused.

"I'm bipolar, Bitch!" I laughed. "Besides, look at the bright side. We get to go shopping!" She squealed. I couldn't help but laugh. Even though shopping with Izzy can be terrifying, it's better than having her pissed at me.

For once in my life I feel somewhat satisfied. I watched as Izzy danced across the room. She was right about one thing.

She is one Bipolar Bitch.


8 weeks...

CPOV

I caressed my stomach. I was only a month and a half pregnant, but I didn't show. I plopped down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. Someone knocked on my door.

"Come in!" I yelled. Not moving from my current position.

Izzy entered my room. "Clary, what're doing? You need to get dressed," she said. I groaned.

"Why?" I complained.

"Clary," she groaned, "Your parents are coming tomorrow and we need to get things ready for the dinner!"

Tomorrow my mom, Jocelyn, and my step-dad, Luke, are coming from out-of-town and to a little get-together Izzy and I planned. Everyone's going to be there. And when the time comes, I'm going to tell everyone about my...Condition.

Izzy marched up to me and dragged me out of bed. "Hurry up! Be ready in five! Oh, and Jace is coming!" she yelled before leaving my room and shutting the door behind her. The mention of Jace's name made my stomach stir.

I grabbed a pair of jeans and a T-shirt and quickly changed.

This is going to be a long day.


"Plates?" Izzy asked. I looked inside the shopping cart that was currently full with the "supplies" needed for the family dinner.

"Check," I said.

"Silverware?" She asked.

"Check." I said again.

"Delicious chocolate cake?"

"Yup."

"Tasty Champagne you're not allowed to drink?"Jace asked. He grinned.

I glared at him. Asshole.

"Check." I said.

"Well, I think that's everything." Izzy said turning to face me. "So, who's coming to this little 'Get-Together'?" She asked.

"Alec, Jace, my parents, your parents, Jonathon, my best friend Simon, my cousin Magnus, and... I think that's it," I said.

"You know, I've heard plenty of stories about how dorky Simon is and how sparkly Magnus is, but I've never met them," She said thoughtfully.

I grabbed the cart and started walking towards the check-out counter. "You're right. Which is kind of strange since they both live in the city. Pretty close actually. They even share an apartment together," I said while getting in a line.

"Wow. This is going to be one fun family dinner," she said.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Oh, nothing really. Just the fact that none of our parents know that your with child, which is gonna be even more surprising when they find out it's Jace's baby-"

Jace looked offended. "What's that suppose to mean?" he said.

"Your gay cousin is coming," she continued, ignoring him," which is even more awkward because Alec's gay, but no one knows except us. Do you not see anything wrong with that?" She ranted.

Jace turned and faced me. He raised one eyebrow.

"You have a gay cousin named Magnus?" he asked smirking. I huffed and turned around and started taking out the items in the cart, ignoring his comment.


The sound of a chime of a bell ring through the apartment. My breath caught. I stood up and straightened my shirt. I cleared my throat and made my way to the front door. I hesitantly put my hand on the handle and then slowly opened the door.

Relief flooded through me when I saw two boys standing on the other side. The one on the left was tall with dark but sparkling hair. The one on my right had glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, get black hair. He was wearing a shirt that said "Gamers do it better."

"Simon!" I squealed and threw my arms around him. He returned my hug and picked me up and spun me around. When he put me down, I turned and did the same to Magnus.

"Clare, hun, it's good to see you too, but...some of us need to breathe," he said in between breathes. I muttered a "sorry," and let go of him.

"I didn't mean to strangle you, but it's just so good to see you guys again! You haveto visit more often. Come in!" I said. I moved out of the doorway and watched them come in. They turned around to face me.

"So, Clare-bear," he said, using my childhood name he gave me," how-" h was cut off by the sight of a bedroom door opening and Izzy coming out. She moved her hair out of her eyes and looked up. I heard Simon's breathe catch. I chuckled slightly. Magnus grinned and stepped forward.

"Well hello, darling! My name is Magnus, and you are...?" he asked. Izzy grinned. She extended he arm and he took it.

"Isabelle. But everyone calls me Izzy," she said. She turned toward where Simon stood, still dazed. "And you must be Simon," she said with recognition. He cleared his throat.

"Yea, how'd you know?"He asked curiously.

"Clary's told me a lot about you," she said. Simon brows shot up. He looked down at me.

"Really?"He asked, pleased with himself.

I shrugged. "What can I say? You're a very interesting topic to talk about," I said grinning. "Remember at Jonathon's sixteen birthday party-" I started, but Simon held up a hand and cut me off.

"Yes, Clary. I remember. No need to go down memory lane," he said.

About half way into our conversation I tuned everyone out. Instead I watched everyone else. Simon kept stealing glances at Isabelle, and she did the same. I never thought she'd ever liked guy in her life. Especially a guy like Simon. She always wantedguys. I don't think she's ever been in a serious relationship in her life! But, she looks so happy right now. But that's all going to change later tonight. And it's my fault.

Magnus noticed my staring and raised an eyebrow at me. I just shook my head at him. Magnus being Magnus, took hold of my wrist, and dragged me into my bedroom. He turned toward me.

"What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.

"Nothing," I lied. He didn't buy it.

He sighed. "Clary, stop being stubborn and just tell me what's wrong."

I looked down in defeat. "I messed up."

"How bad?" he asked.

"Pretty badly," I responded.

"What'd you do," he asked worriedly.

A tear slid down my cheek, I quickly wiped it away. When I didn't respond he started guessing. When he finally guessed correctly, he pulled me in for a hug. I cried into his shoulder.

"I'm so scared," I said. He pulled away.

"Why? You should be happy," he said.

"Maybe I would be if I was married to him. Hell, even if he was my boyfriend I'd be happy. But he's not. Just a guy who gets me pregnant from a one-night stand," I said.

"Whose is it?" he asked curiously.

"Isabelle's brother," I whispered.


And there's chapter 4!

Sorry it took me so long to update. School is crazy and this is the last trimester, so I HAVE to do good.

I'm sorry this chapter is so short, but the next chapter will be posted later on today. I promise!

There's a lot of talking in this chapter, not a lot of thoughts. But the next chapter I will try to make it longer, and definitely have different point of views. More than just Clary and Jace's point of view.

Lots of drama coming up!

I love Drama.

;)
