Chapter 11

~Three months later while clary is almost six months pregnant~

I was fighting with jace to give me the paint brush. We'd already slapped each other in paint on accident about five times I was not going to let him win.

"Jace baby please let me do this!"

"No let me babe I want to you've painted every other room beautifully let me do this"

I don't know why but I started crying. From hormones probably but I just didn't know. He put down the brush and came over to me and held my face in his hands.

"Clary whats wrong?"

"I-I just feel so f-fat and I hate it and I hate this I don't want to feel helpless and painting is the only thing I have and you really suck a drawing and-"

I started laughing when he threw the towel at me and he kissed me.

"Fine princess you can paint it after all you made our bedroom beautiful with those swirls and how you put one rune on each wall of our room"

I smiled in victory and took the paint brush from him. Putting a dot of paint on his nose in the process. I waddled over to a nice place contemplated which color to use. He sat in the middle of the floor and watched me as I dipped the paint brush in the white and began. Soon two walls were white and two walls were a nice pastel blue color I liked. Jace had gotten up and walked out of the room earlier I went and searched for him.

"Jace baby I need the black paint"

I walked into the living room and saw him there looking stricken. Slowly I made my way over and took his hands in mine while I sat down. He was shaking his head while I asked him what was wrong.

"Jace? honey tell me what happened if nothings wrong with you then who's in trouble?"

"You"

I looked at him in confusion. Then down at the phone in his hand. "What is this about Jace" I asked him but he kept quiet for a moment.

"That was Magnus clary he talked with your doctor there's something wrong with your brain they think it's not cancer and they aren't sure if something there but they think there is and they gonna look into more...It's been going on for awhile clary..this is my fault there was something wrong and I didn't fix it"

Tears were pooling in his eyes. I watched as they dropped to the ground splattering. I didn't know what to think. I was too scared to cry. What about jace this place my family my baby for hell's sake. I felt the tears coming and he wrapped me in his arms. I looked down at the coffee table and saw the picture of the ultra-sound I'd just gotten. My perfect baby boy what was going to happen to him? My eyes drifted to Isabelle and Simons wedding photos we all took together. My heart fluttered at the one that had me and her standing Simon and jace on their knees holding one of our hands and kissing our baby bumps side by side. We both stood up and he dried my tears.

"Everything going to be okay jace can we finish nursery now?"

He nodded we walked together. He handed me the black and white paint. I took a deep breath and had Jace help me up the ladder so I could get to the white ceiling. Slowly I drew swirls like in our room and right in the middle of it I drew the very first rune every shadow hunter gets. Jace helped me down slowly and helped me draw white and silvery stars on the blue walls and just sliver stars on the white.

"You know" I said and hour later after we had moved all the furniture in "He's gonna really love this nursery isn't he?". Jace nodded and kissed my forehead where my suspected tumor was going to be. The doctor had called thirty minutes ago and had a full prof way to get rid of it.

"I love you clary" He was crying.

"I love you to Jace"

I would've ended it there but I decided that if I did the next chapter it would be too short so yay put together chapter!

~after clary surgery a week later~

Jace's P.O.V

"Come on jace she'll be okay do you want coffee?"

"I just don't want to leave her yet I want to see her wake up"

I nodded and thanked Alec for the offer. Izzy came in and sat down in the chair beside clary on the other side with Max. She stirred something into her drink and sipped it. She looked at me with a raised eyebrow and a sad look in her eyes. I stroked clary's sleeping hand and kissed my baby boy that was in her tummy.

"Jace the doctor said she's fine the tumor everything is gone for good they're pretty sure you can calm down"

"I know it's just Clary tends to have a lot of surprises in her"

Izzy smiled and I heard a voice behind us speak.

"That she does"

Magnus walked in smiling with Bryer and angelica. Jocelyn and Luke were in England and couldn't get home but they begged me to keep them updated. Which I did without protest. Simon was watching his weird Anime shows again. I rolled my eyes and took it away from him.

"Stop being a nerd"

"Shut up clary loves these shows"

"That she does but clary is sexy and beautiful while being a nerd you however are neither beautiful nor sexy"

He glared. "I would dare to disagree izzy tell him" She giggled and licked his neck . I cringed and she kissed his neck "yes master lewis". They both cracked up but I wanted to barf.

"Okay okay I get it dear lord stop"

There was a light airy giggle. I looked over and clary had her eyes opened laughing at us. I loved her laugh lately it was a sign she was alive. Slowly she sat up and rubbed her temple where the tiny almost invisible stiches were. She looked at us her green eyes shining beautifully.

"So whats the good news?"

I leaned over and kissed her as Alec handed me my coffee. She took it from my hand and sipped it. I smiled of course she was addicted to coffee. She had been saying how being six month pregnant was basically easy since she got so much food. She always found the bright side and I loved her for it.

"You're all good to babe tomorrow you can go home"

"Oh thank god I was worried something was going to go wrong"

"Nope your completely fine"

She scooted herself up and began talking with Izzy. She was such a strong beautiful angel. How did I get her? How did I deserve her? I thank the angel Raziel everyday I have her.
