Jace POV.
I hold my side trying keeping in the laughter that wants to erupt listening to Sebastian talk about all the French girls his cousin tried to set him up with to get over Clary, and how she had a huge bitch fit when he told her that he was now dating Clary's brother.
"But seriously I don't think I've ever heard a person say so many swear words in one sentence, it wasn't even every other word it was two swear words for one normal. Like 'fucking slut bitch how the fuck twat could that fuckwit bitch set you fucking up with her fucking twat bastard of a brother'." He says trying to imitate her voice. This time I don't hold it back I burst out laughing. Considering Sebastian used to spend his summers and winter breaks in France, he really cannot do a French accent.
The next thing I know Jon has Sebastian pinned against the wall. "Did you do it?" He basically screams in Seb's face.
"Wow Jon, did I do what? Please let me go." Seb says. You can clearly see the hurt written across his face.
Jon lets him go and starts to pace in front of Seb not even taking note of me stood next to them. "Did you sleep with my sister?" Jon manages to get out of gritted teeth. He stopped, facing Seb, his hands clenched into fists.
Seb laughs, and then stops at the glare that Jon sends his way. "You do remember that we called it off the day after your parents wedding? You know the day after she admitted to being a virgin? I have never touched her in that way, I always respected her. I knew she didn't want to do it with me. She wanted to do it with someone she thought was special." I must imagine his eyes flickering to me when he says that and my body stiffens. Does he know? He can't, no one does. My body relaxes, only to stiffen again at Jon's words.
"We'll little virgin Clary is no more because she's fucking PREGNANT!" He screams and then falls into a heap on my floor. Seb bends down and pulls him into his arms whispering comforting things in his ear. All the while I stay still glued to my spot, not breathing.
Fuck, she's pregnant. Was that why she had been unwell yesterday. Shit is it mine? Did we use protection? I can't remember, I was too out of it. Would she sleep with anyone else though?
I need to see her. I quickly get the use back into my legs and make them carry me towards my front door, not taking anything with me. Luckily I was wearing shoes anyway otherwise I would have walked over bare footed. Within minutes I'm in front of Clary's pushing the door open. I somehow noticed that both Luke and Jocelyn's cars are off the drive, but when I try the door its open. That means one thing. Clary's home.
I make my way into the house, closing and locking the door behind me. If someone wants to get in they're going to have to have house keys. As soon as the door is locked I make my way up the stairs to Clary's bedroom. Her door is wide open revealing to me the gorgeous red head sat on the bed drawing in the book that fell from under her pillows all them months ago the day after the wedding.
I cough to let her know I'm in her room. She looks up to me startled and quickly closes her book and pushes it under the pillow next to her.
"Hey Jace, what's up? I thought you would be getting the party ready." She says and slowly gets up from her bed and makes her way over to her dresser, picking up a hair tie and putting her beautiful hair in a messy bun on the top of her head.
"Is it true?" I ask her. Not the first thing I wanted to ask but it seems to be the only thing that will come out of my mouth.
She looks at me confusion in her beautiful green eyes. "Is what true Jace?" She walks back to her bed and pats the space beside her. I can't sit down so instead I pace in front of her. "Jace you're frightening me. Please tell me what is wrong." She reaches and grabs my hand, instantly my legs fail and I fall in front of her, my head placed on her knees. "Jace?" She asks, running her hands through my hair.
"Clary… Is it true? Are you pregnant?" I ask and feel her go stiff, her hands stopping in my hair, holding on a little bit. Not enough to be painful.
"Who… who told you?" She stutters pulling away from me and up onto her bed. I quickly pull myself up after her, putting myself close enough to Clary that every time one of us breaths the other feels it.
"Jon told me, well asked Sebastian if he was the father and I was there. But he isn't is he Clary? Seb isn't the father." She shakes her head, and my whole body relaxes. Thank God. I thought Seb may have been lying to stay with Jon. "Clary is it… Am I…" I try to ask her but I can't get the words out. Instead I pull her eyes up to meet mine and ask her using them.
She drops her eyes from mine, understanding my question and slowly nods her head.
"Oh thank god." I say. Quickly, before either of us has a chance to change its course, grab Clary's face and plant my lips on hers. Kissing her with all the pent up sexual tension and aggravation that has been building since the last time we'd done this. She quickly catches on and moves her hands up to my hair.
I cup my hands around her hips and pick her up. Putting her back down straddling my waist. I run my tongue along her lips begging for entrance, which she grants not even a second later. Our tongues dance together like they were made for each other. In my opinion they were.
After a few minutes I'm aware that I haven't been the best at controlling Jace Jr and he's ready. Clary must notice too as she starts to grind herself into me. I try my hardest but can't hold back the moan that she's drawing from me with every move of her hips. She moans back into my mouth which only spurs me on more. I quickly flip us and start grinding myself into her core over and over again until I can feel her orgasm starting to rip through her body. She quickly separates her mouth from mine and moves it to my shoulder, where she bites down on it to stop herself from crying out. I can't control myself and moments later I've done something I haven't done since I was like 14. I've gone in my own pants. That's gonna be messy to clean up.
"Wow." Is all Clary can say. I agree and roll off her. Pulling her to my chest as I do so. After a few minutes she speaks up. "Jace?" I grunt in response. "I think you should… um… go…um… you know clean up…um down there." She moves her hand and sort of circles it whilst pointing to Jace Jr's general direction.
Its then that I remember that I'm all sticky down there. I agree and go to move. "But when you come back." She says grabbing my attention before I'm fully off the bed. "We need to talk about what just happened." And with that she gets up and walks into her bathroom and I hear the shower start up.
I quickly jump up run to my room, hardly ever known as the spare bedroom, and quickly jump in the shower. Pulling on my clean pyjamas after I get out. Not bothering with a t-shirt, I make my way back into her room to find her sat on her bed in a tank top and the smallest pair of boy shorts that I have ever seen in my life. She sees that I've stopped to admire her and smiles, a light blush colouring her cheeks. She pats the bed next to her and moves over slightly to make more room for me.
I walk over to the bed and jump on. As soon as I'm settled I pull Clary to my chest and grab one of her hands in mine. I always forget how tiny her hands are.
"Jace, we really need to talk about what we're going to do. My parents know, obviously Jon knows otherwise you wouldn't and Sebastian knows, but he won't tell anyone." She says. I know she's rambling and there is something else she wants to say so I pull her head to mine and will her to say it. "Jace, I'm not getting rid of this baby. I understand if you don't want anything to do with me or it, but I'm still not getting rid of it." She says, tears in her eyes.
"Clary, I don't want you to get rid of it. Do you think me thanking god was my way of saying I don't want it? It's been my dream ever since I was little that I could be with you, start a family with you, live in a big house, raise a couple kids, and grow old together. We've just started out my plan a little differently than I originally wanted. I have been in love with you Clarissa Adele Fray since you showed me the drawing of my house that you did when we were 3 years old and in pre-school." I tell her pulling her face up to mine and resting my forehead against hers.
"How do I know you're not just saying that because we stupidly had a drunken night that you have probably regretted since the day after." Her tears start to fall down her face.
"Clary." I say and urge her to open her eyes and look at me again. "Clary please baby, look at me." I plead. She must hear something in my voice as soon as I say that her eyes are up meeting mine. "I was going to talk to you tonight. Jon and I made a deal, one I didn't think I'd have to follow through on because he met his end but one I was hoping I could follow through with tonight." I sigh and run my hand, the one not holding onto Clary's hand, though my hair. "I was going to tell you tonight that I have been in love with you for as long as I could remember. And that night we spent together, although I don't remember all the details, was the best night of my life. Then you broke up with Seb and I wanted to get with you straight away but I didn't want to risk everyone thinking you broke up with him for me. But Clary, I have been in love with you for so long I don't know how not to be." I leaned down and kissed Clary pulling her as close as I could get her to me.
I feel her tears drip onto my cheek and pull back, holding her head in my hands, wiping away the tears. "Hey, why are you crying?" I ask in the most soothing voice I can muster.
"Do you really mean that Jace?" She hiccups out.
"There is no pretending, or lying or saying things just because you want to hear them," I said with absolute clarity and 100% certainty that I mean the next few words. "I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then. Always Clary." With that I pull her mouth to mine and kiss her. Pouring all my heart and love into the kiss, hoping to show her just how much I love her.
"I love you to Jace. I don't know when I first realised that. But I've been in love with you for so long. I wanted so badly to tell you, but I'm just me. A short, soon to be fat, red head with no curves or significant boobs. Freckles cover more of my body than they don't and I'm going to get fat. And… and you're so perfect that I would just look even more disgusting in your presence." She starts crying half way through her speech and I can't take it any more.
"Hey. You stop. Stop right now. You listen to me." I say pulling her hands towards my chest and resting them there. "You are perfect! Your freckles, I love them. You have curves, the perfect amount. And, um, your boobs. Well, there amazing." I say sheepishly. A small blush adorning my cheeks. "And another thing. You are not, nor will you ever be fat. You will be pregnant. Growing a life inside you. That's a miracle Clare-bear. Our little miracle, one we created. And I'll be damned if I let anyone talk bad about either of you." When I start talking about the baby I move my hand to her stomach and she sucks in a breath.
"So you want this?" She gestures to her stomach. "You'll stick through it with me?" She asks hope in her eyes.
"Of course I will. But I have a question for you." I say and try to make it sound serious, but not serious enough to scare her.
"Okaayy ask away." She says drawing out the okay. I grab her hands and pull her to the edge of the bed, her legs dangling off the edge me on the floor kneeling in front of her.
"Clarissa Adele Fray, will you be my girlfriend?" I ask looking up into her eyes. She has tears in them, but a huge smile on her face. This tells me that they are happy tears not sad ones. She opens he mouth to speak but before she can Jon gets home and shouts up to us. Well to Clary.
"Clary, I hope you're decent I'm coming up to speak to you" He calls walking up the stairs. Shit. Clary's eyes go wide and she quickly grabs my hands and pulls me up next to her, not even a second later Jon is in the bedroom. His eyes go wide whilst he takes in our hands joint together and Clary's eyes still having tears in them. "What's happened Clare? Are you ok?" He asks and rushes in and sits the other side of her. She looks to me and I slowly nod my head knowing what she wants to do.
"I'm fine Johnny. I'm just hormonal." She says and raises her head to look into Jon's eyes. I see the shock in his eyes. In a blink he has her wrapped in a bear hug, her hand still in mine. I try to lose her go but she just squeezes harder.
"Oh Clary, why didn't you tell me. And who am I castrating? No one can get away with this." He says pushing her back by her shoulders to look at her face. My face pales and my hand involuntary goes to protect my junk. Jon must notice my movements and he look up to me. He looks into my eyes and I look back, I see the gears turning in his head. His mouth drops open and he looks between me and Clary. "No. No. Tell me I'm imagining it? Not you?" He says that last bit to me instead of Clary and my face just pales some more.
"Fuck!" He gets up and kicks Clary's bin around the room. She flinches and I pull her to me where she puts her head on my shoulder. "You got knocked up by our best friend? Shit Clary! How am I supposed to beat him up? I can't hurt him, I know how long you've loved each other." He says pacing around the room. Then he stops and looks at us, he must think the shock on our faces is from something else. "Shit have you not told each other yet? Crap ignore what I just said…" he starts to ramble when Clary cuts him off.
"Jon we know how much we love each other. We're together and we've decided that we're going to raise our child together. I don't want you to beat Jace up. I just want you to keep quiet about it until I'm, sorry we're," she squeezes my hands, "ready to tell people. I know Sebastian knows but I don't want anyone else knowing. Okay?" She asks him and he nods his head in acceptance.
"Can I tell Seb that it's Jace's?" He asks and looks between us again. Clary looks at me saying with her eyes that it's my idea.
"Of course you can, I'm proud to be the father of her child." With that I pull her to me and kiss her. She kisses back until we hear a throat clearing and look up to a beat red Jon.
"Still don't want to see you playing tonsil tennis with my sister Herondale." He growls and walks out the door. Leaving me and Clary laughing on her bed.
"So were together then?" I ask her, pulling her onto my chest. She hums her agreement and falls asleep listening to my beating heart. "I love you Clare-bear." I say planting a kiss on her head.
"I love you too Jace." She says and soon were both sleeping on her bed.
o.0.O.0.o
So... It happened... What did you think? I don't want to do a thing where their not together, I want Jace to be a better man and I want them both to deal with their situation like the adults that they will be treated like.
