Tubba- It's two almost three year difference from where my main story is at right now so the kids are Ryland 24, Jessie 18, Twins 16, Cecily 13

annieherondalelightwood- The middle name you suggested... YES... if it is

crazyweirdbitingladycatnip- thanks for letting me know I fixed that and added his Pov there and yes that was what the look was about I'm gonna be explaining it soon further in case any one kind of looked over it because that's one of his main fears is that he will lose Max because of the path he's going down

I know I've been updating this story more and that's because i'm use to updating daily for my main story but i'm working on the vow renewal and i'm adding a lot of stuff since you guys didn't get to see their real wedding so i'm making up for that with a lot of cute flashbacks from childhood and teenage years and just all the clace fluff in general and so here's this in the mean time until it's done because it might take a few more days but it will be worth it

Jace and Clary find out about the baby in this chapter and Kayla's mom

Ryland's Pov

I knocked on the door and moved so she couldn't see me because I knew she wouldn't open the door if she seen me, the door opened and my heart sped up. "Ye- why are you here?" She asked glaring at me.

"Kayla can we just-" She went to slam the door on me I moved trying to get her not to close the door which resulted in me getting my hand slammed in the door which really fucking hurt. "Fuck."

"Are you okay? I didn't mean to do that." She grabbed my hand and it's like electricity went through me. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

"Come in and sit down." She said I sat down on her couch her cat jumped up and laid down beside me purring.

I was trying to give her a chance to tell me before I exploded with anger, I was trying to give her the benefit of doubt. "I don't have ice so uh well I hope this will do." She said and gently laid a bag of frozen peas on my hand. "Why are you here?"

"I wanted to talk to you."

"I don't really want to talk."

"Then just listen to me alright?"

"Fine."

"That girl-"

"I don't want to hear it."

"For once in your stubborn life just let me explain."

"You have three minutes after that you're leaving."

"That girl that you seen me with she was- you remember my ex I told you about?"

"The one that got you arrested?"

"That was her, I told her to leave she didn't I followed her to the couch and she pushed me down and kissed me and you came in, I would never do anything like that to hurt you."

"Okay."

"Okay? That's all you're going to say?"

"What do you want me to say Ryland?"

"Anything." Tell me, don't do this, don't shut me out I wanted to say but I stayed quiet I needed her to tell me.

She put her hand protectively over stomach if I didn't know i wouldn't of thought twice about it, she's not gonna tell me.

"Your time is up."

"Kayla."

"Leave."

"No."

"Don't you think we've done enough damage together Ryland just leave what's done is done. I don't need you in my life."

"And my baby? Does he or she not need me either?"

"W-what- how…."

"Did you honestly think I'd never find out?"

"Only one person knows that I'm- I'm gonna kill her."

"You weren't gonna tell me."

"No I wasn't."

"You don't get to-"

"You don't want kids isn't that what you always said? I was doing you a favor."

"A favor? That's bullshit you were pissed at me so you decide to cut me out."

"You made your bed now sleep in it."

"I told you what happened why are you still acting like it's what I wanted?"

"Can you just leave please?"

"I want to be part of my child's life."

"Maybe it's not even yours."

"Really?" I said sarcastically knowing damn well she hasn't been with anyone but me she wasn't that kind of person.

"Maybe."

"Why are you being like this?"

"Like what?"

"I know how it is to grow up without a dad that was my life for five years I don't want my kid thinking I don't care about him wondering why daddy doesn't love him."

"It could be a girl…" she said looking at the rug.

"The point is I want my kid to know who I am."

"I thought you didn't want kids?"

"I've never thought about having a kid before I always felt like it wasn't for me."

"Then just walk out the door."

"Even if you don't like it I'm here to stay." She got up and walked away from me I sighed letting my head fall, I was gonna get up and follow her but she came back.

"Here." She said I lifted my head up and took what she was offering, it was an ultrasound picture.

"That's our baby." I felt like I was gonna cry looking down at the picture.

"I uh I'm twelve weeks well thirteen on Friday and I have an obgyn appointment soon if you'd like to come with me we will get to hear the heartbeat and see the baby and find out the due date…. You don't have to come I just figured I'd let you know."

"I'd like to come, thank you."

After I left Kayla's I went and picked up Nugget and went home, I couldn't believe I was gonna be a dad I actually created a life I was gonna be responsible for a tiny little human. I was lost in thought when Lexie called me. "Hey.."

"How are you today Charming?"

"I'm alright I guess."

"Just alright?"

"Yeah, it's been an alright kind of day."

"I know what will make your alright day a little better."

"Oh?"

"I'm gonna be in Cali in a few weeks."

"You are?"

"Yeah I figured we could go out to eat see a movie or something."

"Yeah that would be great."

Kayla's Pov

I've called Sadie four times but she didn't answer of course she'd be ignoring me now. I grabbed my car keys and headed over to her house I should've never said anything and kept my mouth shut knowing she'd go and do something stupid, even though I knew deep down I was the stupid one for trying to keep Ryland away from the baby. "Kayla what are you doing here?" Mom asked once I walked into Sadie's house.

"I didn't know you were here, I came to see Sadie."

"I came to visit my grand babies and your sister is upstairs changing Rose."

"Well i'll be right back." I ran upstairs and into Rosie's room. "Sadie."

"Oh hey Kayla."

"Don't you hey Kayla me you-"

"Here." She handed me Rose and walked out of the room I followed her into her room putting Rose on the bed and glaring at Sadie. "I got you something." She handed me a book I glanced down it was one of those what to expect books.

"Is that 'What to expect when your sister goes behind your back and becomes a traitor and calls your baby daddy'?"

"Unfortunately they ran out of that book so I got this one instead but i'll order it online for you." She joked.

"I cannot believe you."

"Kayla it's his baby, how would you feel if you were in his position?"

"In whose position." mom asked coming in the room Rose smiled up at her.

"Nothing mom." Sadie said softly I looked at her with my eyebrow raised she was mom's evil little minion who always told her everything so the fact that she wasn't telling her made me forgive her a little.

"Sadie, Kayla what's going on?" She asked looking from one to the other and then down to the book and Sadies hands. "Oh! Are you pregnant my dear?" She asked Sadie and pulled her into a hug before she could say anything.

"What no, of course not! Danny doesn't want anymore kids until Rose is at least four."

"But why do you have a-" She stopped and looked at me and then down to my stomach and back up, this is not how I wanted my day to go. "Sadie please give Kayla and I some privacy."

"Mom-"

"Now." She yelled, Sadie gave me an apologetic look before picking up Rose and leaving closing the door behind her. "Do you have anything to say?"

"When Sadie got pregnant you paid half for their house because kids need backyards to run around and play, took her shopping for baby clothes and cribs but I don't think i'll be getting that kind of treatment, will I?"

"Your sister was married."

"And i'm just the fuck up."

"What were you thinking Kayla?"

"I want someone who wont look at me like i'm failure like everything i've ever done in life was a disappointment for once I will have someone who sees the best in me but you can't be happy for me can you?"

"You're planning on keeping it?"

"I can't believe you'd say that." I said and backed up. "Can you not just fucking say wow i'm gonna have another grandchild?"

"I want what's best for you Kayla and you are not in the right position to have a baby."

"Mom-"

"You can barely take care of yourself."

"I do just fine without you and dad."

"Who's the father?"

"Ryland…"

"And I here I thought the two of you were just friends." She said and shook her head. "Are you two together?"

"No we're not."

"What does he think about having a baby."

"I don't know mom we haven't had a whole bunch of conversations about the baby."

"So he's not going to be an active part in this child's life?"

"Why do you care, it's clear you don't approve of me having the baby."

"No I don't because you can barely stand on your own two feet."

"I just want your support mom that's all I want, that's all i've ever wanted." I said as tears came to my eyes.

"I need a few days to adjust to what you just told me."

"Mom please."

"I'll call you and we can talk about your future."

"Mom…" I said softly as she walked away, Sadie was standing by the door when mom walked out she came in just as I started to cry.

"Kayla-"

"I'm gonna go home."

"No stay, mom isn't staying for dinner and-"

"I'm not hungry."

"I know you are."

"I just want to be alone right now okay."

"Call me if you need anything."

"Sure, whatever."

Ryland's Pov

Today was the day i'd get to see the baby, I was going up to LA to see mom and dad after to tell them because I think a phone call would make everything worse I had tried calling Kayla a few times in the past few days but my calls went straight to voicemail so I didn't know if I was meeting her there or if we were going together so I went over to her place to find out I knocked but there was no answer. "You're gonna have to yell." An old lady said I turned around to see Kayla's neighbor i've seen her a few times but never really talked to her.

"Excuse me?"

"She thinks you are her sister or worse, her mother she hasn't come out of there since she came home crying." I turned around and knocked again.

"Kayla, it's me- Ryland i'm alone if that's what you're wondering." The door unlocked, I opened it Kayla went back to sit down on the couch her hair was in a messy bun and she had sweatpants on and a baggy shirt which looked like one I left here.

"Why are you here?"

"Doctors appointment remember?"

"I forgot." She said looking up at me, her eyes were puffy and red.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

"You don't look like you're fine."

"Well I am."

"...Okay."

"I'm gonna go get dressed."

"Do you have any water?"

"Uh I don't know maybe in the fridge." I nodded as she walked away to her room when I opened the fridge it was completely empty except for a gallon of water and a few random condiments. "Did you find the water?" She asked, I looked at her all that's changed was she had shoes on.

"You have no food…" I said she nodded.

"I know."

"Why?"

"Because i'm poor and live paycheck to paycheck and the bills were due so I couldn't buy food I have ice cream in the freezer if you are hungry it's what i've been living off of but my neighbor Helen brought me a sandwich yesterday morning."

"You haven't eaten since yesterday morning?"

"I have ice cream, does ice cream count as a dinner food?"

"No it doesn't."

"Then no I haven't eaten since yesterday well afternoon because I saved half and before you ask yes I am going like this because I want to go like this because i'm my own god damn person and I can make big girl decisions."

"I wasn't gonna say anything." I said and she started to cry, I was freaking out I don't know why she's crying I didn't know what to do.

"I'm gonna be a terrible mother."

"Where is that coming from? You are gonna be amazing." She shook her head.

"I look like a hobo."

"You're gonna be a bad mom because you're dressed like a hobo?"

"I just want support from my family for once I felt like maybe my mom wouldn't think I was this huge disappointment but she told me I shouldn't keep the baby because I can barely take care of myself and who am I kidding look at me she was right I can't do this."

"Come here." I said she looked at me and shook her head. "Just come here." She took a few steps to me I pulled her to the couch and sat down pulling her on me.

"Ryland-"

"Shut up and just listen to me." I said she let her head rest on my shoulder she sighed and I felt her body relax. "Fuck what your mom thinks, fuck what anyone thinks just because something is scaring you doesn't mean you have to run away from it, you are the most caring person I have ever meet, before you I didn't care what anyone thought of me you showed me the light Kayla you made me into a better person, you've given me something I have never in my wildest dreams ever thought about a family and it might not be perfect and we will make a lot of mistakes but it doesn't matter because it's not anyone else's problem to raise this baby it's ours and we will do it." I said moving my hand to let it rest on her stomach for the first time.

"I can't be with you."

"Kayla-"

"Not because of what happened, because I need to figure out who I am I need to be me."

"I can live with that."

"I want you to be happy Ryland and even if it's not with me."

"What are you trying to say?"

"This baby shouldn't stop you from living your life the way you want."

"We're gonna be late."

"Right, I should probably go change."

"I like the hobo look."

"Do you?"

"It's kinda hot." I said she looked at me and rolled her eyes.

Everything went good at her doctor's appointment I felt guilty for not telling her about Lexie but right now I wanted to focus on her and the baby because she was falling apart and well the baby I still felt nauseous anytime someone said you're the father? I wonder if that's normal maybe I should go see a doctor, once I seen the baby I was completely in love with the little thing I don't get how I can love someone i've never met but seeing him up on the screen tears welded up in my eyes, and when I heard the heartbeat for the first time I finally understood why my dad wanted to go to all my mom's appointments when she was pregnant with my little siblings, after we left I changed my ringtone to the baby's heartbeat it might have been the greatest sound in the entire world. "This isn't the way back to my apartment."

"No it's not."

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see."

"Ryland."

"We are going to the store."

"Do you need something?"

"No."

"Then why are we going to the store?"

"You have no food at your house."

"I am going shopping in a few days when I get paid."

"Well that's in a few days what about until then, you can't survive off of ice cream no matter how much you may want to."

"Well I can make an ice cream sandwich, I have bread- okay that's nasty even pregnant that sounded gross." I laughed.

"Come on I promise just a few things and i'll even let you pay me back."

"I was gonna pay you back no matter what."

"Lowkey i'm not gonna take it."

"High key I knee you in the nuts if you don't."

"I will gladly take the money I guess."

We walked around for awhile I think she started getting mad because anything she looked at I put in the cart and then she'd take it out and i'd put it back in like an ongoing game except I got slapped every time I put it back in, after shopping for food I convinced her to look at baby stuff, why must they make baby clothes so cute she had to pull me away instead of the other way around, she said she wanted to wait until we knew what the baby was before we bought stuff.

"Want some help?" Kayla asked as I carried everything in.

"I got it."

"I'm pregnant not fine china."

"I know what you are I wanted to carry it all the way up here."

"What are you gonna do now?"

"I'm going to have lunch with my parents and tell them about the baby so I might be dead by tomorrow."

"Good luck…. Hopefully they take it better then my mom did."

"Has your dad called?"

"I don't know I turned my phone off, he's probably cut me out from his life insurance and changed his company policy."

"Why are your parents so hard on you and not your sister?"

"She listened to all the rules always did what they said, I was never like that I wanted adventure and change, when my parents split up I went with my mom and my sister stayed with my dad, my stepdad was awful he did things but when I went to my mom she didn't believe me so I begged my dad to stay with him but he was always working and I was 'high maintenance' I guess so he sent my sister back to my mom and she blamed me for not being with our dad he's always cared more about his reputation and his company then us and my mom's always cared more about her money and what her friends think of her then anything else."

"I'm sorry.." I didn't know what else to say she just smiled.

"I'm use to it, that was my entire life, I just want a different life for our kid and I thought my mom would've wanted that too."

"If you want I can stay and cook watch a movie?"

"No it's fine you go see your parents i'm sure they will be- i'm not really sure how they will react but well i'm gonna stay far away from your parents."

"Why?"

"They'll probably say i'm ruining your life and i'm a terrible person and-"

"That's not my parents they would never say things like that."

"I wish I had parents like that, i'm gonna put myself up for an adult adoption."

"Is that a real thing?"

"I think I made it up."

"Well i'm sure someone would adopt you."

"Hopefully not with a weird name because then my baby would have a fugly last name."

"Y-you want to give the baby your last name?"

"I don't know, do you want him or her to have your last name?"

"I uh well I haven't really thought about that."

"That's still a really long time away, you should get going."

The drive was nerve racking because I didn't know how they would respond to this and I didn't want to disappoint them and I knew Kayla would take it really hard if they were mad after her mother's reaction, I pulled up to the place where I was meeting them and I wanted to turn around and go home, I took a deep breath and got out of the car making sure I had the ultrasound in my pocket and went into the restaurant. "Bubbie!" Mom smiled and stood up hugging me.

"Hey JJ."

"Hey dad…"

"I didn't think you were in town." Mom said kissing my cheek.

"I wasn't but well I wanted to come see you guys."

We ordered our food and ate in uncomfortable silence because they knew I was here for a reason but I couldn't get the words out. "I'm really starting to freak out Ry are you sick or something?" Mom asked I shook my head.

"I wanted you to hear this from me and not the media."

"What is it?" It's now or when she's in labor, hmm maybe that would be a good time to surprise them with a grand kid. "Ryland?"

"It's nothing I uh just wanted to see you guys..." I'm a chicken a big chicken.

"Don't get me wrong I love seeing you baby boy but you don't make random trips to see us." I took the ultrasound out and slid it over to them and waited for it mom picked it up and looked from it to me and then back to it.

"Surprise?" I said shrugging mom handed it to dad and his eyes instantly went to me.

"This isn't funny Ryland."

"Right now I wish it was a joke, waiter I think we are gonna need some shots over here in a few." I yelled.

"Ryland.." Mom said I didn't look at her. "Ryland Jace Herondale." I sighed and looked at her. "Please tell me you didn't get a random person pregnant."

"You think i'm that irresponsible?"

"So this was planned?" Mom asked.

"Well no, okay I get what you're saying I kind of am irresponsible."

"Who's baby is this?"

"Mine?" I answered confused.

"I mean the mother."

"Kayla."

"Kayla? Your ex from when you were-"

"Yes…"

"I didn't know you two were uh together…"

"For a few months we were, we broke up," Could you break up with someone who you weren't dating? "Before she found out."

"That must of been one awkward phone call." Dad said mom slapped his shoulder. "Ow.." I wasn't about to tell them Kayla didn't want me knowing she had enough going on for her right now and she didn't need that.

"Yeah really awkward…"

"I'm too young to be a grandma…" Mom said but looked at the ultrasound with a little smile.

"You'll be the hottest gilf i've ever seen."

"I'm gonna throw up, literally gonna vomit everywhere." I said and gagged.

"Are you happy?" Mom asked I didn't know how to answer that question.

"About the baby yeah…"

"But?"

"Kayla doesn't want to be with me and when I was in New York I met someone and she doesn't know about the baby but I really like her but it's like my heart knows what I want but I can't have her but if I stay with Lexie i'm basically using her." Mom nodded but didn't really have any advice so I looked over to dad who was looking over mom's shoulder down at the picture.

"If she doesn't want to be with you there's nothing you can do because if you push it you will lose her but if you're meant to be together it will happen things need time."

"And Lexie?"

"Does she make you happy?"

"She does…"

"So be happy."

"Even if it's not with who I really want to be with?"

"I think i'm giving bad advice, Clary?"

"Hmm, what?"

"Were you not paying attention to what Ryland just said?"

"I'm sorry I was thinking about baby stuff, what did you say?"

"Nothing mama it's okay."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"How did her parents take the news?" Dad asked and I sighed. "Not very well?"

"Her parents are, I don't want to sound like a dick but they are terrible people…"

"How so?"

"Her mom doesn't want her to have the baby, her dad she's to scared to tell him because she feels like he will disown her and I don't know what I can do to make her feel better she won't let me in."

"Sometimes acceptance is the best thing." Mom said softly.

"What?"

"Don't worry baby boy, can you give me her address?"

"Why?"

"Because I want it."

"Okay…" I didn't know why she wanted it and I was nervous for whatever she was planning.

Kayla's Pov

I finally decided to be productive and clean my place up and actually cook I felt like I was getting back to my regular self but it was just a matter of time before my mom came over and didn't leave until I opened the door and she'd tell me how much I have disgraced her, I kept trying to forget about what she said but it was always in the back of my mind that my baby wouldn't have their grandma to see him or her grow up because no way in hell do I want my kid around her if that's how she's gonna act. There was a knock at my door and I looked at the door for what seemed like an hour hoping whoever it was would leave but the knocking continued. "Time to face the music…" I said and opened the door.

"Hi…"

"Mrs. Herondale?"

"Please it's just Clary."

"Clary." I said nodding. "Please come in." I said moving back, I hadn't talked to Ryland in a few days so I don't know how his parents took the news, well other then me telling him I wanted a bacon cheeseburger when he asked how I was.

"I like your place."

"You do?" I think she could tell I was shocked.

"When I was raising Ryland by myself I lived in a small two bedroom apartment a lot smaller than this I don't know why I loved that place so much it felt cozy and everything had a spot and even though it was small I could rearrange it every other week and it would feel like it was more spacious than it was and- I'm sorry I'm rambling."

"I know what you mean."

"I uh have something for you."

"Really?"

"Well three things actually."

"You don't have to do anything for me."

"I've always liked you Kayla more than anyone my son's ever dated and well you're the mother of my grandchild and that means that you are part of our family so here." She went outside and brought back a blanket and a stuffed turtle. "This was Ryland's he had both of these since he was born and I'm sure he'd want his kid to have them to."

"Thank you, you have no idea how grateful I am for this and that you aren't mad."

"Mad about what?"

"That I'm pregnant…"

"I was a lot younger than you when I had Ryland, my mom was so mad she barely wanted me around, all I wanted was for someone to accept me and say everything will be okay, I was so terrified that I would be a horrible mother and ruin everything."

"I think you did a pretty good job raising him, except his ego is pretty big."

"He gets that from his father." She said and I laughed. "You aren't alone Kayla, Ryland says your mother isn't supportive but I can tell you for a fact I will be and you can expect me to come every chance I get and take the baby for a few days."

"Thank you Clary." I said feeling better then I have since I found out I was pregnant, I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her she pulled me closer.

"And the last thing."

"Oh no you've already done enough for me."

"The great thing about being a grandma I can spoil them as much as I want and then give them back, I'm getting an early start in spoiling this one." She said and motioned towards my stomach.

"I'm sure this baby will be spoiled enough by Ryland."

"Little Legend will be."

"Legend?" I asked and Clary laughed.

"Ryland didn't tell you he wanted his first born to be named Legend Bandit?"

"Oh god…" I closed my eyes and shook my head Clary laughed again. "What's with famous people trying to name there kids crazy ridiculous things?"

"Jessie was suppose to be Rocket if Jace had his way." There was another knock on the door I looked at Clary thought maybe she was expecting someone but she shrugged I opened the door to see Ryland holding a bag.

"Bacon cheeseburger, extra bacon, extra cheese I'm hoping I got that right."

"You didn't have to do that."

"I was already out when you told me."

"Hey bub.."

"Mom?" He pushed the door open all the way and Clary waved. "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing."

"Okay… Well uh do you want me to leave?" He asked I looked at Clary who smiled.

"Actually you can help me with something."

"Sure."

He went downstairs with Clary and came back up with parts of a crib. "You really don't have-"

"It was Jessie's, and then the twins well Liam's but Logan cried until he was in Liam's crib and it was Cecily's I'm attached to this thing Jace has told me a million times to just throw it away but well-"

"I'm gonna cry." I said Ryland frowned but Clary laughed.

"That's only gonna get worse."

"Great…" I said wiping my tears. "Thank you for everything and for the talk."

"Anytime."

After Clary left I ate my food and watched Ryland smile when he picked up the stuffed turtle. "Timmy…." He said softly.

"Is that his name?"

"Yeah my uncle bought him for me the day I was born and this," he picked up the blanket and smiled. "I dragged it around for years, this hole was from my dog Rocky he was dragging me around one day and ripped it." He looked at me and then back down.

"Can we talk about something?"

"Sure what's up?"

"About baby names your mom might have mentioned Legend?"

"You don't like it?"

"Maybe for a middle name but a first name?" He sighed but then smiled.

"Fine Legend will be his middle name."

"And if it's s girl are there any names you like?"

"A girl?" He frowned and shook his head.

"Oh come on any name."

"I really like Willow or maybe Emma, Kenadee, Katherine and we could call her Katy, Peyton, Storm, or Meadow? that's a cute name I think or uh I don't know…"

"Nothing to crazy that's surprising."

"I saved all the crazy names for my boy."

"Let's hear it."

"Alright, you don't like Legend so I'm gonna skip over that one, Blaise? King? Riot? Anthem? Siren? Caige?"

"And now we are done with this conversation."

"That was just the crazy names."

"What are the real ones."

"Well the other names were real but there are others not as good as all the ones I just gave you."

"Just tell me them."

"Ayiden, Julian, or Julius, Matthew, Noah, or maybe Octavian?"

"I like those names."

"You know my dad wanted to name Jess Rocket maybe if its a girl we can name her Rocket."

"Definitely not."

"i'm not good with names I literally named my dog Nugget."

"It's a good thing we have time then isn't it." I smiled when he smirked.

Questions: Do you guys want me to drag out her pregnancy or do a little time jump to when they find out what the baby is or kind of have it as a flashback while she's giving birth or what?

Do you guys want me to add Lexie's Pov or no?

Right now I kind of make things a little steamy I don't go full lemon mode I mean I write it and then I take it out because I don't know if you guys want that and a lot of people asked why I do that in this one and not in my main story and that's because these are my characters I know how they would act and what they would say where Clary and Jace I don't want to get them wrong and have them stray from who they are so let me know

Most everyone's answer was the same on who Ryland should end up with so thanks for that feedback who am I kidding everyone's answer was the same
