Clary's POV

It's been weeks since my birthday, and everything in our life seems to be falling into place. I'm about 18 weeks along now, nearing the middle of this pregnancy which seems crazy, and my stomach is definitely growing. Rogue Kingdom's new album is done now, but Jace won't let me listen to it until the release concert in January.

Simon has been staying with Izzy since he moved. They claim it's just while "he finds a place of his own", but he all suspect it's for another completely different reason. They keep denying any claims of them dating. I am not buying it, though. Alec and Magnus are living together now as well. The band's been about the same, with the exception of Gage who found himself a nice little girlfriend. I haven't met her yet, but Jace tells me that it's weird seeing him in a serious relationship with a nice girl.

The press has been hot on our trail for sometime now. First, the ring sparked rumors of us being engaged, which were then confirmed through Jace's social media. Then, they snapped a picture of us leaving Dr. Blackthorn's office which created countless rumors. However, as my belly grows, they have been reporting about the pregnancy non stop. In the few months I have been in L.A. I have gotten used to the press. It's not that it doesn't bother me anymore, it's just that I have grown to accept that this is my life now.

Telling Luke and my mother that I am pregnant again wasn't exactly a walk in the park. I wanted to call her, but Jace insisted that we do it in person. We flew out, leaving Grayson with Izzy and Simon just for one night, to go tell them. I guess she could have taken it worse, but she wasn't at all happy at first. She said how could we let this happen a second time, and how we should have taken things slower. Eventually, she calmed down and slowly started to get excited about having more grandchildren. It turned out to be a pleasant visit, even if at one point Luke looked like he wanted to strangle Jace to death.

"Come on" Jace rushes Gray and I out of the house, "I have a surprise for you".

We all get into my new Land Rover Sport that Jace got me to replace my old beat up car since he says is too dangerous. I fought for my poor little car at first, but then I had to admit the new car is pretty amazing. Even though it's technically my car, he drives because I have no idea where he is taking us.

After about a ten minute drive, we pull up to a wooden gate with an intercom system. Jace punches some numbers into it and the gate opens automatically revealing a private driveway.

"What is this place?" I ask amazed as we continue to make our way down the driveway. It's not long, and after only a few seconds a house appears.

It's a big beautiful mediterranean style house, very different from Jace's place. There's a small traffic circle right in front of the entrance and what seems to be a 3 car garage. He parks the car by the garage, and goes help Gray out of his car seat. I step out of the car and look up mesmerized.

"Do you like it?" Jace comes stand besides me.

"It's beautiful" I gasp

"This is the main house" he explains, "it has 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, a chef's kitchen with a breakfast nook, a living room, a dinning room, a play room, a screening room, and an office. Down in the basement there's a soundproof music room, a wine cellar and a gym". He points to the other side opposite to the garage, "that's the guest house, complete with a room, a bathroom, a kitchenette and a small living room". "The in the middle towards the back behind those fences there's a big grass yard with a outdoor entertainment space and a pool with it's own slide, trampoline and pool house". I remain quite in shock. This is so pretty. The tree shaded driveway, the huge backyard, the waterfall pool, it all seems straight out of a movie. I wish someday I could live somewhere like this. "And it's all our". I turn around a look up at him unbelievably.

"What?!" Is all I can say.

"Yeah" he nods smiling his cheeky smile, "It's all ours"

"But" I choke out, "you love your house".

"That's the thing" he shakes his head and takes a deep breath as he pick Gray up and places him on his hip, "that's my house. You keep saying it yourself". "Your house" he mocks me. "This" he places his free hand on my shoulder, "this is going to be our house. You, me, Gray and the little munchkins".

"I don't know what to say Jace" I scoff turning to look at the house again, "this is just...More than I ever imagined when I pictured my future house". "What about work?"

"It's a little farther from the city than I'm used to" wraps his arm around me, "but I don't mind getting up a little earlier if my family is exactly where it's supposed to be."

"Can we go check it out?" I ask like a little kid who's asking for candy.

"We will" he laughs to himself, "another day".

"Boo" I pout jokingly.

"If we don't get to Izzy's special announcement party, whatever the hell that means" he murmurs, "we'll be dead before we can ever pack our stuff".

"Do you like it Gray?" I tickle his belly, "do you want to come live here?"

"Mmm..." He tilts his head thinking for a moment before yelling out "Yes!" and making us all laugh.


We get to Isabel's announcement dinner party a little later and get a death glare from her. Well, except Gray who just gets a big hug and a piece of chocolate. Magnus, Alec, and Simon are already here, as well as the band members and who I'm guessing is Gage's be girlfriend.

"What took you so long?" She patronizes.

"Sorry" Jace laughs a little at her tone, "we got caught up with something".

She then storms into the kitchen and Jace and I can't help but laugh. He joins his friends and I go introduce myself to Gage's girlfriend. Gray is somewhere with Simon, probably playing some game

"Hi" I smile politely, "I'm Clary"

"I know" she looks down shyly, "I mean... I've seen you...you know". She sighs trying to calm herself, "I'm Emma. Emma Carstairs".

"It's nice to meet you" I encourage smiling noticing how nervous she is. "How'd you and Gage meet?"

"My friend snuck us into this party" he explains loosening up a little, "we didn't know it was like a famous people party. I met Gage, but I didn't exactly recognize him that night. Imagine my surprise when he called to see me again and I realized who he was".

"Wow" that is quite a story. Kind off weird to me, since I've known these guys since high school.

"Dinner is ready" Izzy announces and we all go sit down around the dinning room table.

Dinner is delicious and it goes along nicely. Everyone enjoys their meal while making small talk. I try getting something about the new album out of the guys, specially Declan who tends to say things he's not supposed to, but fail at getting any information at all.

As the evening winds down, everyone is waiting for the announcement. They all wait quietly, but then Jace, as subtle as he is, intervenes standing up.

"Just say it Iz" he shrugs, "it's not even that big of an announcement. You're dating Simon. We are all well aware".

"Jace" Izzy frowns and shamed her head, "that's not what this is about".

"Oh" Jace sits back down and I rub his arm.

"I'm the one who has an announcement actually" Alec admits as he and Magnus stand up. "We eloped". The whole room is thrown into a frenzy of congratulations and excitement. I am so happy for them, but even if I am the queen of rushing into things, I can't help but wonder what made them do it.

"That's not all" he continues once the room is calm again. "There's this baby..."

"His name is Max" Magnus adds.

"Yes" Alec seems nervous, "well, he is just a couple of months old and his mother died only a few days after his birth. He also has an older brother, Raphael. He just about to turn 5 in December. They have been in the foster system for a few weeks because their father is nowhere to be found". They look at each other lovingly for a second. "We were thinking of adopting them". The room remains silent for a few seconds.

"I think that's a wonderful idea guys" I get up and hug them.

"A few months ago I would have never imagined that I would have 3 nephews before the year ended" Izzy smiled proudly, "and now look at me".

"Next thing you know" Jace teases, "you'll be moving on from aunt Izzy to mommy".

"Oh no" her face turns serious as soon as the words come out of Jace's mouth, "I promise you that will not be happening any time soon".
