Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while, I'm running out of ideas.
Anyway big thank you for the reviews!

Chapter 38: The meeting.
*LUKE'S P.O.V.*
Jocelyn places her hand on her stomach and smiles.
"I'm pregnant." She says.
There are quiet murmurs amongst everyone before Jonathan gets up and hugs Jocelyn.
"I'm gonna be a big brother again." He says. I can tell he's delighted he can be a good big brother to Abigail from the start, since he has only been good to Clary for the past 2 months, since he turned normal.
Jocelyn smiles as Jonathan pulls back.
"Yes honey and you're going to be amazing, look how great you are with Clary, she's only 2 years younger than you. Think how great you'll be with a baby." She says.
Jonathan smiles broadly.
"I'm really happy for you." He says. Jocelyn smiles.
"Thank you sweetie." She says.
After Jonathan sits down Clary gets up and embraces Jocelyn.
While I then embrace her, Simon -who has always been like a son to Jocelyn and I- gets up and hugs Jocelyn.
"Do you know the sex?" Magnus asks as Clary and Simon sit down.
"Yes, we're having a baby girl." Jocelyn says, rubbing her bump.
"Congratulations." Magnus says.
"Thank you." She says.
Announcing that we're having a baby has made it that bit more real. I can't wait to meet my daughter. I will protect her with my life like I protect Clary, and Jonathan. My family.
*TESSA'S P.O.V.*
I lean against the Blackfriars Bridge as I wait for Jem, for our annual meeting.
I've seen him more than I normally would, this year, because of the complications Clary had when she was pregnant. I miss him so much. I rest my forehead on my hands as I think about Jem. I think about when he proposed to me, all those years ago. I think of all the memories of Jem.
Before I can think about Jem anymore, a familiar voice echoes in my head.
"Hello Tessa." Jem says.
I turn around to face him. His hood is drawn back, his silver hair glistening in the sunlight.
I smile weakly.
"Hello Jem." I say.
"How are you?" he asks.
"I'm ok, how are you?" I ask.
"I'm coping." He says. Jem hates being a silentbrother, he always has.
"How did you feel when you held little Jack, when he was born?" I ask. I know Jem was so eager to help Clary with her pregnancy as she was carrying Will's descendant and she herself is a descendant of Charlotte and Henry.
"I could see little traces of Will in him; his bone structure is the same as Will's. But to answer your question it felt slightly odd. It's hard to believe that if I had not joined the brethren that Jack would be my great, great, great, great, nephew. Not by blood of course, but by love, like how Jack is Magnus' nephew by love, not blood." Jem says.
My heart warms but breaks at the same time at the thought of Jem being an uncle to my children, he would have been amazing. Sure they had Magnus, Gideon, Gabriel (much to Will's displeasure) and Henry, but imagine the fun they would have had with Jem and Will, the mischief James, Will and Jem would have gotten into together.
"You would have been an amazing uncle to James and Lucie." I say.
"But had I not joined the brethren, - because say they found a cure, we most likely would have gotten married and had children of our own, so James and Lucie would never be born. There's a reason for everything Tessa, maybe the reason for us being unable to find a cure for addiction to yin fen, was so James and Lucie would be born." Jem says.
I would never have thought of it like that.
"You know you're probably right." I say.
"I've had a lot of time to think for the past who-knows- how-many years." Jem says.
I nod, I've had plenty of time to think myself, but I can't think properly lately. Memories keep coming flooding back, preventing me from concentrating.
Suddenly I remember Magnus is engaged to Alec Lightwood, who would've thought it? Will would not be impressed, one of his closest friends marrying a 'Lightworm'.
"Who would've thought Magnus would end up with a Lightwood?" I say.
"Will would not be best pleased." Jem says.
"He'd be even more annoyed at the fact that Jace- his ancestor- is parabatia with a Lightwood." I say.
"He'd claim he was destroying the Herondale bloodline." Jem says. That he would.
"It was very kind of you to agree to officiate Magnus and Alec's marriage." I say.
"Magnus did a lot for me when I was young. He also did a lot for you and Will, the two people I loved most in the world. It was the very least I could do." Jem says.
"He seems truly happy, for the first time in over a hundred years, doesn't he?" I say.
"Yes, Alexander is very good for him." Jem says.
"It's sweet how Magnus is taking such good care of Clary and Jack. He's been there for her from the very moment she found out she was pregnant. When Jace was stabbed all those months ago, Magnus told me that if Jace died, he would raise Jack with Clary, he would be the father Jack would never have. He would make sure her parents or Simon or Alec or someone that knew how to comfort her and keep her calm, was by her side when she gave birth. And even though Jace thankfully never died, he's still helping them raise Jack. He really cares about her, loves her like a sister." I tell Jem. Magnus is so protective of Clary and loves her so much. When she was very sick with morning sickness, Magnus worried himself sick, especially when the potion he gave her didn't help her.
"Magnus may not seem like a family person, but he is. Henry and Charlotte are looking down on him and protecting him and everyone he loves." Jem says. I smile, that is the sweetest thing I have ever heard.
"James Carstairs, I miss you so much." I say.
"I miss you too Tessa. But we've got to see eacother more than usual this year." Jem says.
Our hour together goes by far too quickly, and before I know it Jem and I are saying goodbye until next year.
"Take care of yourself Tessa, and everyone else." Jem says.
"You too Jem, I suspect next time we see eacother will be either at the wedding or after Lily Lewis' birth." I say.
"Has Magnus asked you to help with the birth? Isabelle and Simon have asked me to witness the child's birth, as is tradition. But also to be at hand if there any complications after the birth." Jem says.
"Magnus has asked me to be there as well, in case there are any complications during the delivery." I say.
"Well then I shall see you then." Jem says. I nod.
"Goodbye James." I say.
"Goodbye Tessa." Jem says. And with that, he draws his hood up and walks off to portal back to Brooklyn.
*ISABELLE'S P.O.V*
*2 hours later*
I suddenly feel an unexpected wave of nausea wash over me.
I leap up from the table in the kitchen and barley make it to the sink in time.
I feel someone pull my hair back from my face and rub my back.
A few minutes later I stop vomiting. I see Alec standing beside me, looking at me with concern.
"Are you ok? I thought your morning sickness was gone." He says, handing me a glass of water.
"It is, I don't know what's wrong. Maybe I ate too much for Lunch." I say.
But I soon find out that's not what's wrong.
For the rest of the evening I get sick, every half an hour or so. Now as I lie in bed with Simon, I get an agonizing pain my lower abdomen.
I gasp, sitting up with my hands on my stomach.
"Izzy, what is it?" Simon asks, sitting up beside me.
"Ow! Simon! It hurts so, so much; there's something seriously wrong. Oh by the angle! Simon, help!" I say, as the pain intensifies.
"Oh crap, Isabelle you're bleeding!" Simon says. I look down to see blood spreading rapidly across the white sheets.
Ok so I know the ending is quiet similar to chapter 30 but Izzy's pains and bleeding is for a much more serious reason.
Anyway sorry it took so long to update, I just couldn't find the time.
Sorry if anyone's OCC at all and if anything medical is wrong.
