Hey, Enjoy
Please review means a lot, I like to hear what you think and your suggestions
Got a little treat for you in there ;) ;)
Disclaimer/ I do not own TMI, Just a huge fan!
"Are you not going to talk to me anytime soon" Simon asks. "Like what is this about, you have ignored me for 3 days straight". "Like I can't take it anymore Clary, is this about what happened at the hospital" he asks sounding defeated.
"Shut up, shut up will you. Can I just enjoy the sun please" I growled. Simon hadn't exactly been in my good books lately, every time I looked at him it reminded me of the empty hallway I had found trying to find Jace. What would he have thought with what Simon done, now there was a challenge to telling him the truth.
"Clary" Simon whined standing in front of me.
"Can you stop blocking the sun" I growl to Simon who is blocking the sun now.
"Fine, I have tried please talk to me" Silence "I guess I will see you later at the party, I just have to go help a friend out" he tells me still standing there. I give him a quick curt nod and look the other way knowing he won't leave.
"You know ignoring him won't last forever" Mom said coming to lie down next to me moments after Simon had left.
"Did you feel like this, when you were pregnant, this rage" I ask looking at her as tears well up in my eyes.
"Oh Clary I felt all kinds of things when I was pregnant" she smiles her cheeks reddening. "Whoa what was that mum" I touch one of her cheeks.
"Nothing you need to know" she laughs " Especially with Valen— you're father always got on my nerves" Mum swallowed hard.
"Dad?" I ask "How did that work out" She never talked about him.
"He was always reckless, a bit experimental but because I loved him I always forgave his silly mistakes" "And he always gave it to me really good" she mumbles smiling.
"Mum" I whine and she winks.
"You never talk about him" I ask looking at her side ways.
"I know, some things I can never revisit back too. But like you, you still haven't mentioned who this boy— father is of your child" Mum questions.
"I—"
"See we all have things we do not like to share, but Simon is your friend and he is here for you. Only you Clary, you have to let him know whats up and not just blame your hormones" Mum smiles looking up in the sky with me after she had pocked my belly.
"Now would you like to third wheel with Luke and I" She smiles looking to me and back to the sky "It would not be fair if you didn't come, you did design half the project" Mum explains as she saw I was about to refuse her offer.
"Only if you make me bacon and coconut pancakes for the whole week" I say sitting up.
"That is not healthy for my grandson" Mum cringes.
"Then I am not coming—" I say trying to lie back down.
"Clary" Mum looks at me "Fine, fine" she sighed in defeat and got her self up. "You have 30 minutes to get ready" she shouted as she walked off.
…
"She is gorgeous, isn't she" I whisper standing next to Simon.
"Huh, what" he stumbles half spilling his drink "I—" he mumbled again fixing his glasses.
"You should go talk to her" I encourage him.
"No no, I already helped her tonight, she may start thinking I am a stalker and clingy" Simon mumbles back starring at Isabelle.
"So you do like her then, I knew it" I sniffle a laugh.
"No, ha no way I was actually just um looking at the flower pot hanging there beside her".
"Simon" I give him a cheeky side ways look.
"Maybe a little, she asked for my help tonight does that mean something in girl code" He whispered fixing his glasses again, a habit he always did when he was nervous.
"Go dance with her then, see she keeps looking here" I encourage again.
"Um I have two left feet so no" Simon cowers beside me.
"Go" I nudge him. "I will only go when I know we are okay" he points between us.
"Yes it was a matter of time" I smile rubbing my bump. He nods. Then sets off in Isabelle's direction. I turn around on my spot looking at the blazing work my mum had done with the place. On the porch outside couches sat in a circular formation, huge pool was a few meter away occupied with children, a fountain sats o a corner of the garden, a dance floor was set in one area, on one side the barbecue was firing up and a table filled with all kinds of foods.
Mum had really done a good job, good I came.
…
Jace's POV
My hand runs in my drying hair as I stand in my oversized closet. I probably should hurry Tessa will be knocking on my door soon, that woman had no chill when it came to being punctual, having good manners and being on time the list could go on.
I catch my reflection on the mirror, making me spot my birth mark the one all the man in my family were branded with, that reminds me I had seen the same thing on Clary months ago strange eh.
On that subject of Clary. Who was on the same continent as me, Clary who was in Idris right now and Clary who was pregnant?! Wasn't it only five - six months ago I was in America things must happen fast for women sheesh.
I mean I leave Idris for all of 5 minutes I come back and she is here, and is best friends with everyone I know nothing wrong with that but torment for me.
Clary had been a mystery for me for months after our night, I thought of her more than any girl had ever occupied my attention for any length of time. When I had met her she had irritated me, like everybody does. She was Different from other girls I had divulged into she had presented herself in pure and utter innocence and she was head strong too. I remember to agreeing to "no attachments" with her but, as I had spent time alone my mind often drifted to her, the stranger who touched my heart I guess.
"Jonathan, William, Jace " here we go I sigh "Hurry up we are already late" Tessa shouted downstairs. "You boys are an absolute treacherous mess " Tessa whined in her thick english accent she had caught when they lived in London.
"We did offer to drive ourselves" I hear William mutter as I walk downstairs to join the trio, trying to put my shirt together at the same time.
"Well if you went so busy playing that GTA rubbish we would not be here still" she screeched annoyed.
"Absolutely not, its life" I say smirking in her direction and earning an annoyed look from her. "Agreed" William shouted across the room stuffing a bag with little Jamie's toys and yucky baby food.
"William Owen Herondale" Tessa scolded her husband. "Ooo she just used the full name on you" I whispered.
"Shut up" he smiles at me. "I heard that" Tessa mutters.
"Why do you even bother, he doesn't even like that stuff" I cringe looking at the food they had started to give the toddler.
"He has enough to worry about with all those people who like to smother him with kisses and hugs ugh" I say pointedly looking at Will who continues to stuff the bag with the food. " And there is Tessa for that" I wink at Will who stops what he is doing and looks at me.
"Excuse you" he scowls. "You will understand when you have one of your own one day, young one" William says as he walks and gives Jamie a wet kiss on his cheek, making the toddler wail in happiness.
"Not any time soon" I smile at Will who has gone back to packing the bag.
"Sure" William whispers.
Shaking my head I walk up to Tessa and motion to hold James who had gone back to giving her an absolute hard time as he squirmed about in her arms.
Once we were on the road silence filled the car which was not always often for this family. "So" I begin.
"Yes Jace" Tessa looks at me through the back mirror as she is driving.
"This Clary girl, do you think she will be there" I ask trying not to sound too interested.
"Mmmh.. probably not, she does not seem to be one for the crowds" Tessa said looking straight ahead.
"Don't you think she is out of your league" William asked sounding annoyed probably for not being able to drive us there because Tessa said his driving was dangerous for Jamie "I mean she is pregnant and all" he explains himself.
"No you prude, I jus— she looks familiar thats all" I mutter, but I knew damn well who she was. She was the girl who had laid down for me, during that tough time months ago.
"Like every other girl here does" Will said. "Boys" Tessa argues.
I stare out the window and remember the last image of her at the hospital I had wanted to apologise for leaving her hanging the morning after but I did;t get the chance, well she looked happy with that rat looking thing.
"What are you thinking about" Tessa observed through the mirror. I contemplated on telling her about how I already knew Clary but I was not up for the banter with Williams on how many girls I have used, Clary was different though.
"Get the gone and drive woman" I say making eye contact with her and pointing to the green light. Tessa pulls her tongue out as she drives forward. I go back to cooing Jamie to sleep, and bring my walls up again.
….
Clarys POV
"Max your still beating me, you said you would go easy on me" I whine as we play Mario kart on his Wii in a secluded room away from the party. "Press your booster, press your booster Clary" He shouted as he jumped up and down with his own controller.
"Ooo look there you are" I screamed as I passed him on the television screen. "Oh-no you don't" He screams as he uses his boost and passes me into the finish line and wins the game.
"Yes, Yes" he jumped about. " Well I am done" I say standing up and walking back to the party.
"But no, no" he yelled following me as I headed back to the party. "Max" I whined trying to pry my hand away from his. "Besides you need to hang with other kids and I need the bathroom" I smile trying to move as he blocks my way.
"One more game, just one Clary I will even let you win" he smiled. Try to moving forward again and he blocks my way. We stare at each other in an intense glare.
"Maxwell" someone snickered laughing "That is no way of fetching women".
"Jace" He turned around screaming "your actually here, Izzy said you would be but I didn't believe her" he yelled as he went to embrace the man.
"Now what is going on here" Jace asked pointing to me showing his glamorous smile with Max on his side.
"She won't play one more game with me" Max tells him and Jace looks at me and I slightly shrug my shoulders.
Jace looks from me to Max. "Max how about you go get Clary and I a drink and I will play with you soon" Max looks up at Jace and nods then he runs off, how come he never listens to me.
"Thank you" I mutter walking away. Isabelle spots me as we emerge from the corridor. She loops her hand with mine "Come with me" she murmurs. We end up at the bar cutting up fruit to put in the punch.
"I see you have met Jace" She nods towards Jace who is standing and talking to an irritated Max who has just been dumped into the pool with his clothes on. "Yeah" I nod looking up and seeing he was looking at me.
"So I wanted to ask" Isabelle sounds nervous making me break my eye contact. I look to her and encourage her to go on. Simon" she whispers smiling. "About Simon" I say smiling.
"I just wanted to be sure what he says is true" she pauses "He is not lying he really is your best friend" she asks skeptically. "Yeah" I nod "It never worked between us". Isabelle becomes quiet as she spots Simon walking towards us.
"Si" I say when he is near. "I ..I have to use the toilet" I mutter to both of them and walk away smiling.
"I see Isabelle has got her horns on you too" Jace mutters next to me as I am walking. I lift my eyes and frown playfully and quickly nod.
"I— I had wanted to say sorry" Jace says sneaking a quick look at my belly then looking up to me. "Why" I ask, we had stopped moving.
"Oh you know.. I..I know it seems a little strange, I never thought I would see you again. But thats not the point. I had wanted to say sorry that I left that morning, I know it won't have mean't anything but you gave so much that day and I left I— was going through some stuff during that time"
"Hey stop" I grab his arm and quickly drop it, I could see some familiar faces surrounding us now "Remember I agreed to no attachments, so you could do whatever you wished" I whisper smiling to hide my pain, my secret. "And I know, never expected you to be here too".
I think back to 6 months ago It had hurt, After our amazing night I had woken to Jace gone. The sheets were empty and cold, they showed no evidence of anyone ever being there. I hadn't wanted to admit now in front of him but it had hurt, even if I had agreed to no attachments.
But I had bigger problems now, no I had blessings now. I had to tell him though, surely. Tell him.
"Your staring" Jace says standing across from me, making me focus my eyes on him.
"Am not" I mumble childishly, and look at him through my eyelashes.
I had to tell him, I had to tell him. I spot Magnus across the room and we make quick eye contact that I break off quickly.
"Why are you in Idris" I ask to change the topic. "I mean I am not sad that you are, but its really weird, did you find me" I whisper. "Huh that, I could ask you the same" Jace replied looking down at me, he really was tall.
I could see the strength in his golden arms, his veins ran along showing they were alive pulsing with the same blood that my child will bare.
"Well my family is from here and being pregnant I thought I could share the moments with them" and maybe with you, just tell him Clary I think to myself .
"So is my family" Jace makes a face " Well its great your here, maybe we could be friends if thats not awkward with you or your boyfriend" I find Jace spitting the word boyfriend with some bitterness, then he slightly looks behind where Isabelle and Si where talking.
Before I could correct him someone interrupts us. "Jace" a girl calls walking towards us. She stands next to Jace and wraps her arms around his. "Babe, where have you been" Kaelie asks blunting her eyebrows in his face. "Hey" he says to her smiling and removing her hands from his arms.
"Have you met Clary" Jace suggests after a moment. "Yeah, but how are you" she points to him. My hands moved to stomach trying to smooth where my baby had been constantly kicking me.
"Excuse me" I quickly say when I lose their attention. I walk up the stairs, It was the quickest escape I could find, I really needed that toilet.
I didn't like seeing Kaelie's hands on Jace like that either, was it jealousy?! I wanted to boot her, like really slap her, I scowl to myself Why was I going upstairs, why was I even thinking like that.
Keep calm Clary, just breathe and keep calm. I enter a few rooms before I finally enter a bathroom down the corridor. "Oh oh oh oh" I yell covering my eyes "I am sorry" I shout as I see a Magnus busy. "Don't be don't be" he drags his words, I turn the door handle to leave. "I am finished anyways, I wanted to talk to you though" I hear Magnus zip his pants up.
"Come on I won't bite" Magnus keeps talking as he washes his hands.
"Okay can I use the toilet first, please" I whisper turning around. Magnus points me towards the toilet. I look at him expecting him to leave, bur he sits on the bath tub and plays with his nails. "Are you not going to leave" I ask confused.
"Oh no, don't mind me at all" but I glare at him "Magnus" I say slowly and he looks away. Seeing he wasn't going to leave I try disguise myself as much as I can.
I slowly turn the tap on and apply soap then begin to wash my hands indicating I was finished. Magnus slowly rises and walks towards me, sparkles dropping of his body. "So Jonathan ae" He begins slowly.
"What about Jonathan" I say slowly trying to control myself, what did he know. We stare at each other in the mirror in front of us.
"I don't know you tell me" Magnus shakes his head off, not loosing eye contact. Rolling my eyes "How can I tell you what I don't know" I screech annoyed. "Really Clary" Magnus scoffs.
"The way you look at him, the way you clutch yourself in his presence, the running and trying to act invisible" he whispers.
"Who" I mumble, acting oblivious to his suggestions.
"Clary" Magnus shakes his head at me. "Jace" he breathes.
"I…I don't know what I … I don't" tears gleam in my eyes, and my hands move to clutch my swollen belly, Magnus's eyes follow my hands.
"No way…" He mumbles slowly to himself stunned "No.. no no.. no way" Magnus keeps shaking his head.
"It's it's his, isn't it" he finally mumbles. Shit.
Magnus turns and begins to walk to the door and I quickly rush and close the distance between him and the door. "Stop" I shout.
"So its true, is it what I just said" I just stare and let the tears roll down my eyes. "You… you… thats why you came to me isn't it Clary". "You could have just told me, I would have helped, does he know then?! Clarissa".
I look down and whimper as tears roll down my face. "I can't do it Magnus" I run my hand in my hair agitated.
"But you can't be doing this alone, no one should have to do this alone and he needs to know" Magnus whispers. "That's why your in Idris for him right".
"No I am here because my family is here they are going to help me, and besides he can't know yet I am not ready Magnus, promise me" I beg, I didn't know what their friendship was like.
"I didn't even know anything about Jace until this past few days" I mumble.
I look up my face a mess and meet Magnus's eyes boring into mine, he reaches his hand towards my face and wipes away at my tears then he embraces me.
"Not yet, not yet anyways" I say embracing him back and crying it off.
…
"Clary, Magnus" Tessa calls as she spots us coming down the stairs. "Your looking lovely" she admires me, embracing me. "Have you been crying" Tessa notes whispering to me.
"It's this hormones" I tell her, she lets me go then mouths "I know" nodding her head too.
"Thank you, is that your little mouth to feed" I ask pointing to the little boy in her husbands arms.
"Yes" she turns around smiling "He loves to give me trouble" she frowns happily.
"He looks like his father" I comment to Tessa. "Very much" she agrees.
We all sit around the Lightwoods family room, everyone chatting away. Magnus and Tessa decided to sit next to me since I knew them the most, they regularly made simple conversation with me.
Asking about how often the baby kicks, if I am ready well that was mostly Tessa and Magnus would remind me of silly old tales he committed in New York. He was in Idris because him and Alexander, Isabelle brother where trying to mend and give their relationship another go.
I Lift my eyes and meet Simon's on me, he sats next to Isabelle we hadn't talked much and I had avoided the conversation before, I give him a quick smile and look away.
I don't see Jace anywhere maybe he was outside, but Kaelie wasn't here either who knows. I shouldn't care anyways, that was a boat I didn't want to engage in with, not yet anyways.
Tessa's son James I learned touches me as he rolls about on the floor. He really had been giving her trouble so she put him down on the ground he seemed to enjoy it. He keeps rolling himself onto my side, so I pick him up and try get him to sit but he refuses, so he ends up standing and leaning into me.
Jamie they had been calling him, balances on his two feet then he places his chubby hands on my belly, he giggles lightly as he jumps up and down with my help. He continues to place his head on my belly trying to cradle it as much as he can. Everyone smiles at him. "Sorry" Tessa tells me trying to pry him off me making him cry. "It's okay" I reassure her.
Then Jace walks in looking irritated and annoyed. We make quick eye contact before he turns his face scowling. He goes and sits next to William where he continues to murmur irritated. Magnus gives me a sneaky look and weakly smiles at me when he notices where my eyes keep travelling.
