A/N- Couldn't resist another Jace chapter. XD This segment takes place a few months after the last chapter. By the way, could you guys give me a heads up if you want me to write about the wedding or not and any other ideas. THANKS! Spesh to those who have reviewed.
Disclaimer- Nope, not mine.

Everything was planned to run smoothly.
The wedding was in three weeks and Clary was fuelled by pure adrenaline from just planning it. Good thing she was a great planner- I could have never have pulled off a wedding in just a few months.
The Lightwood's had visited often since our visit to New York. Izzy and Mayrse seemed to be having as much fun as Clary was planning the event and I enjoyed having Alec around. Jocelyn came along to Idris with them, as well as Luke a few times. For once, all of the multiple rooms in our house had been used all at the same time.
But it wasn't the wedding or the constant visiting's that had me worried.
The thing that had me worried was Clary herself.
She had been constantly sick over the past weeks, throwing up most mornings and running a temperature not to mention her mood was very touch and go sometimes. Even if she said she felt fine after a trip to the bathroom, I didn't believe her. Nobody got that sick and was fine afterwards and I didn't want her to be in pain.
Worried, I rang up the most motherly figure known to me, Mayrse, in a desperate attempt to see if she knew anything about a situation such as this.
Of course, she was worried as well once I described Clary's condition to her. Yet I had the feeling Mayrse was a lot more clued in and knew more than she was telling me. She told me not to worry; Clary would get over her bout of sickness and demanded that I put Clary on the phone for a quick chat.
Well that quick chat turned into a two hour "deep and meaningful". Clary had taken the phone upstairs into our bedroom and sprawled out on the bed. I was shooed out of the room whenever I came up to see what was going on.
That conversation took place two weeks ago now.
I was lying on the couch thinking over these things when Clary walked into the living room. She smiled when she saw me and leaned over the back of the couch.
"Hey what are you doing in here?"
"Uh...relaxing? Why?"
She chuckled. "No reason. Just wondering why you weren't outside and, I don't know, being like you usually are."
I smirked and ran a hand through my hair. "There are no demons outside at present because I've already got rid of them all. And you know deep down inside you don't want me outside anyway."
"True," she said.
I sat up quickly, grabbed her arms and as a look of surprise crossed her face; I pulled her over and onto the couch beside me.
"Jace...," she complained, laughing at the same time.
I wrapped my arms around her stomach and pulled her tighter to my chest while burying my face in her head of red waves. She just put her hands over mine and closed her eyes.
"You tired?" I asked, watching as she yawned.
"Just a little," she admitted. Her eyes looked far from tired though, shining more than usual actually; like she had some secret to tell.
I eyed her suspiciously. "I can tell you're excited. What's up?"
She rolled over, propping herself up on her elbows to look at me straight. Now she couldn't restrain her smile.
"Well, you know how I've been sick and everything lately?"
"Yes?"
Her smile widened. "I'm pregnant."
My mouth dropped. Pregnant? When had she found this out?
"What?" I said, shocked.
"We're going to have a baby, Jace!" she said excitedly. I couldn't help but grin with her; her happiness was infectious. I put my hand under her chin and bought her mouth to mine. The kiss was only short but I meant it.
I have to admit I'd never really wondered what it would be like to have kids but that didn't stop me know. Seeing how excited Clary was about this, I couldn't help but love the idea of a mini-Shadowhunter running around the house.
"When did you find out?" I asked, curious.
"Well, after that talk with Mayrse, I put all the pieces together: the morning sickness, the mood swings, my temps, I've missed my period twice now and I've also been sleeping a lot lately. So I made a conclusion. I mean, Mayrse gave me the idea but it wasn't until this morning that I did a pregnancy test, so I wasn't really surprised that it tested positive."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Because I wanted to be sure before I told you."
I smiled. "Well Izzy will be happy; another thing to fuss over."
She laughed. "Of course. They don't know yet so I'll have to call them sooner or later."
A thought struck me.
"Hey with us having, uh, 'special talents', what do you think the baby will be like?"
She smiled. "Just like you, I hope."
I returned her smile. "You'll love him anyway."
"Him? What if it's a girl?"
I smirked. "Well you can't exactly call him 'it' or 'thing', can you? That's just cruel."
She hit me playfully on the chest. "Ow,"I replied with mock hurt.
"C'mon," She said, rolling off the couch, "I'm hungry."
I rolled my eyes. "Look who's going to eat us out of house and home now."
A/N- Short? I know. This just an update. I've been busy with exams and stuff, but alas winter hols are approaching so more will be written hopefully then. Don't forget to give us a shout out because reviews really do help a author write quicker. :D
