Clary*
I jumped out of Jace's arms and the bed. I ran to the bathroom and spilled my guts into the toilet. the smell of puke and public restroom filled my nose and made me vomit more. I felt my hair being pulled back and my back being rubbed by more than one person. when I finished vomiting I found Izzy, Magnus and Jace knelt down beside me on the tile floor while Rafael, Alec, and Simon stood in the doorway. "anybody have a mint or a stick of gum?" I asked. I heard a snort and then Izzy was rolling in a fit of laughter. I started laughing with her. I felt a small object hit me in the shoulder and found a stick of gum at my side. it only made my laughing fit worse and Izzy's turned to snorts and hyperventilating. the guys looked at us like we were insane. "what is so funny?" Rafael asked "im laughing because I read this joke and it goes like 'what's the difference between a pregnant woman and a terrorist?' and the answer is 'you can negotiate with a terrorist' and all I can think if you can't negotiate with clary on a daily basis so imagine how bad its gonna be when her hormones start acting up" Izzy explains "I don't know why im laughing so I guess its already started" I tell them through my fits of laughter. Izzy laughs harder at this and we both fall to the floor. when we finally get ourselves together I can see fright and confusion on the others faces. "well im starving" Magnus says "ill start breakfast" I said. "no" they all shouted "we will all make breakfast and you will sit on your ass and watch shitty tv until its done" Magnus said "there is no getting out of it is there?" I asked "Nope," Izzy said popping the 'p' "fine but don't let Izzy near the food" I grumbled. jace laughs and plucks me from the floor then carries me bridal style to the couch. he put supernatural on the tv and then I remembered that the pickup was today. "Jace don't forget that we have to go pick up that stuff today" I hollered "I know" he shouted back.
that night
when we reached the house of the gang after unloading the guns into a warehouse I started cooking a dinner/breakfast which basically turned into steak with eggs and toasted biscuits (an: actually a good meal) we all ate at the table and when an awkward silence fell among us me and Jace shared a devious glance "so who wants to take bets on what gender the baby is going to be?" I asked "who's baby?" bat questioned. "Jace and I's, " I said like it was the dumbest question in the world. they all froze and some of them even dropped there silverware. " I got 50 on a girl" Jordan shouted. they all debated on what the baby was going to be while Jace and I laughed at there antics. we only had to get through the anniversary and then we would be ready to go through with everything. a calm with no storm to follow. I hope
anniversary party
the party was going great. I had cooked along with the other girls while some of the oldest and youngest of the gang drank, smoked and chatted. the others were waiting on the attack, Jace and Rafael with them. I was nervous. my boys were all out waiting on someone to attack them while im stuck here making burgers and hot dogs. the attack was scheduled to go down in 3 minutes. I've been watching the clock like a hawk. all the girls are worried and bitching about how the crow eaters are going to act like its there loved ones out there risking there lives. we have to invite everyone affiliated with the gang so the crow eaters were invited along with informants and just friends who know about the gang so Izzy, Alec, Magnus, and Simon are here. they have been getting along well with everyone and they have caught onto why the croweaters are a group of bitches. 2 minutes. my hands are shaking. my fiance/ baby daddy is about to be in a room full of flying bullets along with my surrogate brother. "are you okay biscuit" Magnus asked "yeah my baby daddy will be in a room full flying bullets and swinging knives and fists next to my non biological brother why wouldn't I be okay" I said sarcastically but not angrily. "don't worry buiscut im sure that they will all be fine" 1 minute "your right the boys are trained and know what to do"I say taking a deep breath "the boys will be just fine" I said when I heard the first shot is when I realized they aren't the only ones I need to be worried about. "get down!!" I shout. everyone hits the floor. bullets hit the walls and tables. "girls get behind the bar boys take cover and shoot at anything moving!!" I bark as a bullet whizzes by alec's head. they follow orders "Simon, mags, Alec. follow the girls" I shout and they do so. I dodge a literal bullet and that's when all hell breaks loose. men from the other gang barge in through the back and kill at least two of ours on sight. they shout at everyone to keep quiet. they know that most of us are out of ammo but I have to fully loaded pistols in my waistband and a mini handgun in my boot. they snatch up the girls and tell them to go upstairs they start to send me with them until they see the little prez patch on my jacket. "where is valentine?" the guy who is obviously in charge shouts at me. "dead" I spat. "so you must be his daughter" he says "what an unfortunate role" he says I see him reach for his gun but im faster I fire at his head but a bullet still drills through my chest. shit. that's when the boys get back probably assuming the attack never came. my vision blurs as I hear bullets fly and punches being thrown I see Jace catch a graze as he runs to my side. he shoots in every direction hitting most of his targets. he helps me to my feet and half carries me to the stairs. "Maia is a doctor" I tell him. "it hit the wrong side help the guys ill make it the rest of the way" I say knowing damn well I can only make it around the corner of the stairs and hope I can call for help. "are you sure" "I got it. go help them" I tell him as I put another pistol in his hand. I run as fast as I can up the stairs seeing bullets hit the wall in front of me. my arm is grazed before I make it to the corner I dive around it and look out to the ground floor. its a blood bath men from both sides are bleeding on the floor most are dead but some of them are shooting with bullet wounds keeping them on the floor. "Maia!" I shout her head peeps out. "do you have a stitch kit" I ask "yeah im coming" she answered "get a gun" I shout she nods and returns with stitches and two pistols and extra magazines "Selie come help" she shouts. I fire at the other gang members around the corner taking two down and pissing one off. Maia tells me to be still and bite down on a belt she sticks in my mouth. I do but groans escape me as she pulls the bullet from my chest with her bare hands. Celie pours alcohol on the wound and I kick the floor in pain. I fire the gun more as she sews my skin together. I take down two more men and then I see something that makes the wind escape my lungs. rafael is lying motionless on the floor as blood flows from his abdomen. pure rage and heartbreak roll through me like flames. I rip myself away from Maia and my stitches rip apart but I don't care I stand and shoot at everyone on the other side in sight. I take down four men and then pull another gun from a dead man's cold hands and start shooting again. I take down eight more and then all shots ringing through the air are gone and whoever wasn't killed on the other side had run in fear. I drop to my knees by Rafael's body. I gingerly take his pulse to feel the faintest and slowest beat ever and then nothing. tears fall from my eyes in rivers and I feel a piece of me shatter away along with his breathing. I hear others searching for there sons daughters and wives. my heart continues the break at every announcement of death on our side. I feel Jace holding me but everything sounds like im underwater and I can't feel anything. I see Jace worrying over the torn stitches in my chest and side of my shoulder. and I feel Maia stitching them shut but I don't feel pain just the fact that she is there. eventually, I manage to shake myself from my despair long enough to call a cleanup crew and give orders to some men to call family friends and others to inform them of there loved one's deaths. I tell Maia to stitch up the guys and get any of the other girls that know how to help her. I take Jace to a barstool and start stitching his arm and then move onto his shoulder then the side he was just grazed except on his shoulder but that shot went all the way through so it wasn't so complicated. he looks just as heartbroken as everyone else but his eyes never leave me. he stares at me as if he is trying to make sure I don't shatter before his eyes. I tell everyone to fallow me to Raf's bar after the cleanup guys show up. I feed them all anything that I can scrap up. we write down the names of the deceased and I send them all to bed after showing them all to a room to stay in. I take the list to Jordan who stayed behind to tell the guys what to do with our guys and what to do with the others. "Jordan go to the bar. jace is still up he can show you where we put maia and you can get some rest" i tell him "clary you need to get some rest. the guy who took care of you for as long as he could died today along with others who youve known for longer than even i have and not to mention that the baby in your stomach needs rest too and i know damn well jace isnt going to go to sleep until he knows you are ok" he says. "guys do you know what to do with each person" i shout to the cleanup crew. they all nod "then we are both going home stop by the bar tomarrow morning and ill pay you guys and fix breakfast" i tell them. a round of 'ok's and 'alright's go around and i drag jordan back home. after i take him to a bed i go downstairs to jace and eventually fall asleep in his arms with tears streaming down my cheeks.
