AN- Kinda a filler chapter but I needed something here. And the alcohol test that is performed is something that was actually done in this time period. :)
Two weeks later, Clary woke up to a cold bed. She shivered and looked at Jace's side of the bed to find it empty. She sat up, stretched her arms, and stood up. She grabbed her robe and left the room to find her husband. She went to the kitchen and found it empty other than Simon.
"Hello, Simon, how are you doing?" She politely asked.
"Oh, uh, f-fine, Mrs. Herondale," Simon muttered.
Clary chuckled, "No need to be afraid of me, and please, whenever we are not in the presence of my husband, call me Clary."
Simon looked relived, "Alright, Clary."
Clary smiled, "Do you know where Jace is?"
Simon shrugged, "He's probably in the training room. He'll probably be up there for a few hours; would you like something to eat?"
Clary's stomach growled at the thought of food, "That would be lovely."
Simon nodded and went to the kitchen get some food for Clary. He came back ten minutes later with some pancakes and bacon. Clary greedily ate like a pig and Simon was about to leave.
"Simon, can you please stay to keep me company? I've never eaten a meal by myself," Clary asked.
Simon nodded and sat next to her as she ate, making small talk. When Clary finally finished eating, someone knocked on the door. Clary got up to get the door, but Simon stopped her.
"Please, Clary let me," he told her. He went to the door and Clary followed him into the entry way.
"Magnus Bane, at your service," Magnus announced as he came in.
"Dr. Bane! What are you doing here?" Clary asked as she hugged him.
"It's time for your next checkup, dear, I just want to make sure everything is fine and you are indeed pregnant. Where is your husband?" Magnus said with a grin.
"I do not know, Simon, could you please go fetch my husband and tell him Dr. Bane is here," Clary ordered her new friend. Simon nodded and went upstairs. "Dear, Dr. Bane how rude of me! Please, sit, I'll go fetch you some tea." She told the doctor, leading him to the couch.
"No, dear, tea really is not necessary; please do not go through the trouble!" Magnus replied as he took a seat. Clary nodded and sat down on the couch, making polite small talk with the male doctor.
"I hope I have not kept you both waiting for too long, I was just doing some training, physical training is very important to me and I tend to get a bit carried away," Jace said as he rushed down the stairs.
Clary stood up and gave him a quick peck on the cheek, "We haven't been waiting for long, Dr. Bane was just telling me about his time in Peru."
Jace grinned at her and put his arm around her waist, "So, Dr. Bane, I thought her next checkup would not be until closer to her due date, so why are you having one now?"
"Great question, Mr. Herondale, but I just wanted to make sure your wife truly is pregnant and in order to do that I needed to wait two weeks to make sure her menstrual cycle wasn't just late and she really did just have a stomach bug." Magnus explained.
Jace's grip tightened around Clary and he put his hand protectively over her abdomen, "So, you are telling us that there is a possibility that she is not really pregnant."
"There is a small possibility, yes, but a very small possibility. Clarissa, have you begun to bleed in the past two weeks and have you continuously gotten sick?" Magnus asked.
"No, doctor, I have not begun to… bleed… and I have continuously gotten sick," Clary answered with her eyes wide.
"No needs to worry then, you are most likely pregnant, I just need to run a few more tests," Dr. Bane pulled a small cup out of his bag, "Could you urinate in this cup please? I need to run an alcohol test on your urine."
Clary and Jace both looked appalled, but Clary took the cup and left to go to the bathroom. Jace and Magnus stood awkwardly in the room while they waited for Clary. A few minutes later she came back holding the cup with a red face. She handed it to Magnus and walked over to Jace.
"Do you have some wine?" The doctor asked the couple.
Jace nodded, "Lewis! Go get the doctor some wine from the kitchen."
"What kind, Mr. Herondale?" Simon asked.
"It doesn't need to be anything fancy, I just need a cheap wine to do the test," Magnus answered for Jace.
Jace nodded, "You heard him, Lewis!"
Simon ran off and Clary sighed softly. She sat down on the couch and yawned silently. Jace sat down next to her and gave her one of his rare smiles he saves just for her that makes her heart flutter. He looks at her like she is the only girl and the world, like he only cares about her. She rested her head on his shoulder as Simon entered the room with a bottle of wine and handed it to Magnus. Magnus took it without saying anything and poured some of the wine into the cup of urine. He waited a few seconds and then grinned.
"Based on how the wine reacted to the urine, I can guarantee that you are, in fact, pregnant," Magnus announced.
Jace grinned and kissed Clary passionately. She pulled away and grinned. Magnus smiled and hugged the happy couple. Jace quickly payed Magnus and sent him on his way. When the doctor was gone, Jace picked up his wife and went to their bedroom so he could make love to her.

The next morning, Clary woke up to find Jace's loving gaze on her. She blushed, realizing she had no clothes on and neither did her husband. Jace smiled softly at her and reached out to pull a stray lock of hair put of her face. He leaned down to kiss her, but right when their lips connected there was a knock on the door. Jace groaned and grabbed his robe. He hastily put it over his body and threw open the door to find Simon Lewis.
"What the hell are you doing here?" He growled at the servant boy.
Clary chose this moment to put on her robe and stand next to Jace. She put her small hand on his shoulder which quickly calmed him down, "I know Simon here wouldn't wake us up without a good reason. What is your reason, Simon?"
Simon looked relieved, "There are two people at the door by the name of Luke and Joselyn Garroway, would you like me to let them in or send them away."
"Jace, my parents are here! Please let them come in," Clary told her husband with bright eyes.
Jace sighed, "Let them in, but let them know we are getting ready and we were asleep when they arrived. Also, tell them that we will be down as soon as possible. Send in Rebecca for Clarissa."
Simon walked away and Clary kissed Jace as soon as the door was shut, "Thank you so much," she said with a smile.
He smiled back at her, "Anything for my beautiful Clary."
