Last chapter guys and then an epilogue .. Maybe.

Jon , Seb , Si and Jordan were out dealing with valentine .. Leaving me an ALMOST 9 month pregnant women and Jace alone.

After Seb found out about the child he nearly killed jace ... Jonathan steppe din before he could harm him more.

Jace now have a scar to hold against Sebastian.

Every single person in that room including simon who came here to meet me was pissed at me .

They were pissed at me for not telling and receiving the proper care .. Leaving Izzy who was more pissed that she didnt get the proper time to buy clothes for me.

Stylish maternity clothes as she termed it.

Izzy and And Jace's sister were probably at Zoo as cecily had been crying becasue she wanted to see a monkey after jace called her one.

she wanted to prove him that she did t look like a monkey , she took a camera with her.

And that leaves me , Jace and Blip alone.

Yes i named my unborn child Blip till it was born and YES i just referred our unborn child as it.

" you know something funny? " he asked me.

" What "

" i though ... You would be knitting sweaters by now" he said hesitantly while judging my reactions.

I glared at him and that man had the nerve to smile at me.

" Jace i am not a 70 year old grandma .. I am just 17" And with that i flipped him off and continued my book on what to ear and what not to eat.

Feeling something off in the air i glanced up to see jace staring at the wall with a sad look on his face.

Before i could ask him whats wrong he spoke up

" i forgot that you are just a child ... I mean you should be out hanging out with your friends , attending house parties , getting wasted , sneaking out from your house , worrying about your future , getting wasted again .. Not hiding from your dad with the father of your unborn child worrying when you are gonna pop..."

" pop? " i interrupted him.

" you just caught THAT " he deadpanned.

" You know 2 of the activities that you just stated got me here. " i joked.

He just kept glaring at me so I continued .

" And moreover i dont regret anything , yes i would some things differently but i would never wish for this child not to be here and i would never wish for YOU to not be here .. Jace i love you , i grew to love you and will love you till the day i die." I finished.

" I love you too clare .. Till the day i day" he told me .. Looking so sincere that i almost felt my heart melting.

He kissed me chastely on my lips and got up from the bed.

" Let me fetch you something " he told me and got up to left the room.

After he left i switched my attention once again to the book infront of me when i heard a loud bang.

Startled i nearly fell from the bed.

Cursing my clumsy nature i gently got up and was making my way towards the door when it was banged open.

Jace immediately locked the door and motioned me to keep quiet.

i was about to ask what was happening when he said those two words i was dreading .

" Its valentine "

But the real implication was " its Valentine and His men " ... Those trained cold blooded murderers.

And then my blood ran cold remembering that we both were alone.

i looked at jace who was frantically moving towards the window having already heavily armed himself.

He looked outside and cursed.

" There are atleast 40 men standing outside "

40 men outside and god knows how many inside i thought.

" But he doesnt know you are alive " i stated confused.

" He thinks i am dead but you ... You are the reason he is here"

" we have to hide ... " i broke off when i heard a pair of footsteps shuffling just outside my door.

" i am gonna surprise him ..." He said and with that hid inside the cupboard.

The door was thrown off its hinges as soon as jace closed the cupboard door.

Valentine glided in through the door with a maniac smile on his face and a revolver in his hand.

" My dear dear daughter and ... My grandchild too! What a surprise!" He said.

" I am not your daughter " i spat at him.

" No you are not " he stated

on reading my confused expression he continued

" you are Luke's bastard"

i continued staring at him with my mouth wide open.

" Do you really think a father can kill his own daughter? Or even do what i did to you? " he said with his smile still on his face.

" Kill? I am not dead " i replied.

" Yet " he said and raised his gun when ... Suddenly he collapsed.

i stared at his collapsed form confused when i spotted the gunshot wound on the back of his head.

" Shame .. I couldnt show him my face " jace said.

" Is it bad that i dont feel a thing? " i asked while staring at Valentines body.

" You will feel a thing or two later .. But for now you should be content in not feeling anything " he replied before scooping me in a hug.

" Luke is my dad ... "

" yes he is and you wont get a better dad than him "

" i wish we knew where he and mom were so i could meet him again ... This time as his daughter" I said while nuzzling my face in his shoulder.

" Clary i think we should focus on the topic that we are surrounded " he said and detached himself to look out in the hallway.

" His men wont hurt us ... I mean this bastard is dead " i stated.

" They will kill us clary .. If they spot us .. They are trained murderers ... They wont leave a task unfinished." He replied.

suddenly we heard footsteps in the hallway.

I looked at jace who himself looked scare .. But i knew he was scared for me not for him.

He silently grabbed my hand and pushed me in the cupboard.

when he was about to close the door i stopped him.

" Jace? Please ... Please be back " i requested him .. My voice barely audible.

" I promise you clarissa herondale that i will be back for you .. I promise this on the life of our unborn child" he said and with that he closed the door.

Herondale .. He called me a herondale.

I smiled lightly and smoothed my hand over my bump feeling the baby kick there ... More likely awake now due to my anxiety

The little kicks are what jace find best about my pregnancy.

I noticed my sketchpad and my pens lying in the cupboard.

I picked them up and wrote a letter ... To all of them.

my family.

seb

jon

izzy

Jocelyn

luke

just in case i didnt make it.

After 10 minutes i froze when i heard a voice outside.

The cupboard was flung open revealing Jace .. A very bloody jace.

" Are you shot!" I asked him.

" Its not my blood " he simply replied before taking my hand a guiding me to the room right next to ours .

" why are we here? " i asked him once he securely locked the room.

his back was facing me so i couldnt see his reaction.

" To buy us some time untile sebastian shows up with his men" he replied , he must have called him.

My blood ran cold.

" Time? Time! How ... How ... I am scared" i told him not being able to form another sentence.

He turned towards me and nearly ran and took me in a bone crunching hug.

" Dont be "

" our child? She didnt even live ... And now her life is in danger "

" she?" He asked me ... His eyes searching my face.

" A mothers guess " i told him.

He gave me a small smile and i knew it then and there ... We were done.

We aren't going to step out of this alive.

This thought didnt scare me as much as it should because i had jace .. My jace.

" Clarice ... I wanted to name her clarice " i said And nuzzled my head in his shoulder once again.

" Clary? What do you think her hair colour is?" He asked me.

" Red " i replied without thinking.

He gave our small sad laugh which made my heart stop.

He had given up hope.

Hope.

" Eye colour? " he asked me.

" Golden .. Like yours " i replied.

" Attitude?" He continued this game of his to distract me from our imminent death.

" Mine .. Hopefully " i replied and with that a tear slipped out ... Didnt get a chance to see her ... How is it fair?

suddenly we heard footsteps outside the door and some one was trying to open it.

" Clarissa ... i love you ... Always and forever "

" i love you too jace herondale always and forever " and witht that the door was thrown open.

who is it? Sebastian or valentines goons?
