Clary POV
3 hours later Jace and I are sat on the sofa watching TV when Jon and Sebastian come barrelling through the front door. As soon as Jon realises where we are he's sat on the coffee table pulling me out of Jace's arms and into his own.
"God Clary I was so worried about you! Next time a text that just says 'All is good.' And then turning your phone off is not enough! Do you know how worried I've been! I even phoned mom who said that it wasn't her place and to talk to you but I should know all is good! That's so frustrating and then to make matters worse even she turned her phone off!" He says pushing me back at arms lengths where I fall back into Jace's lap. As soon as I'm there he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me comfortably back into his chest.
"I'm fine Jon. But we do have something to show you!" I reply excitedly. I can feel Jace's chest rumble with laughter as I excitedly reach for my bag. "Seb come sit on the table with Jon! Or on the floor I don't know where you want to sit." Seb listens to me and makes his way to sit next to Jon on the coffee table and holds his hands.
"Okay guys are you ready for the coolest thing you will ever see?" Jace asks them as I search through my backpack to try and find my scan photo. As I find it I turn it around to make sure that the side that comes out facing Jon doesn't show any of the scan.
"Yes! Show us already!" Jon practically screams. I laugh and feel as well as hear Jace laugh as well. I look towards Jon and see he's scowling at us and Seb is rubbing soothing circles on his hand.
"Okay… Okay, you've been tortured enough. I would like to introduce you to blob one and blob two!" I say and turn the scan photo around to show Jon and Seb the actual photo. I look towards them both and they both have their jaws on the floor. I laugh at them and they both shake their heads, shaking themselves out of the shock.
"You're having twins!" Jon practically shouts as he jumps of the coffee table to pick me up in his arms. "I'm having two nephews!" He shouts as he spins me around.
"Jon put your sister down now! You'll make her sick! She's already passed out once today we don't need a repeat." Seb says, ever the smart one. Jon puts my two feet back on the floor but doesn't let go. He kisses my head and reaches over and pulls Jace off the sofa as well. He wraps us in a group hug, which Sebastian soon joins in on.
"I can't wait until they're here! They are going to be so spoilt." Jon says after releasing us all and falling onto the sofa opposite the one Jace and I occupied. "Two babies." He says again, this time more to himself.
"So are you going to tell anyone else about this? Or are you going to keep it a secret as long as you can?" Sebastian questions, taking a seat next to a very excited and bouncy Jon.
"We told my parents today, they didn't take it so well. Well my mother didn't seem to upset, my dad though. I thought he'd scream at me but instead he put on his business face and ended the call. Hopefully we can sort it out long before their born." Jace partly answers Seb's question.
"Shit, mate, I'm sorry. Hey they'll both come round eventually." He says with a smile in our direction.
"Yeah that's what I told him. As to telling people, I don't want to tell anyone just yet. I'm only recently finding out myself. I didn't even want anyone to know but Jace and my mom. But big head over here," I point to Jon and he scoffs and smiles back at me. "Over heard my private conversation with my mother and assumed that it was you. He's not very bright my brother see. He doesn't realise that we literally broke up no more than 18 hours after I told him I was a virgin and then you and him slept in the room next to us." I say indicating between Jace and myself.
"Yeah we'll Clare-bear it doesn't take 18 hours to lose your V card. You could have done it any time after we got home or before during the wedding, you could have snuck off." He says. I go bright red at his words and see that Jace is also hanging his head and avoiding eye contact with Jon and Sebastian.
"Ha I knew it! Jon you owe me twenty bucks!" Sebastian says as he jumps off the sofa and does his happy dance.
"Knew what?" Jace and I manage to ask at the same time. I turn around a smile at him.
"Your brother and I had a bet going. He thought that it was the night of your birthday that you two did the do and I said that it was the night of the wedding. And the look on your faces just ensured I won the twenty bucks." He says smiling.
"You're not angry?" Jace asks as he looks between Jon and Seb as Jon hands over his money.
"Angry at what?"
"At the fact that you and Clary were still together and we kind of you know 'did the do'." Jace repeats his words and I blush as red as my hair.
"Oh that, no I knew you loved each other and I knew something was going to happen. Then the way you both came down the stairs the morning after and you both looked like you'd seen you best friend naked but won a thousand bucks at the same time kind of gave it away that something had already happened. Then I didn't want to break it off with Clary through text so I asked her round, but unfortunately my cousin heard me talking myself through the break up speech and demanded to know what I was doing and why I was breaking it off with her. She was pissed and that's why Clary came home all messed up that day. My cousin tried to beat her up, but I dragged her off of Clary and into the house, the rest you know." He says looking sheepish.
"And like I said then, I didn't expect anything less from her, she's not exactly ever liked any of us. I'm just glad that you ended it then, I would have felt so bad if you hadn't, I was going to tell you but I didn't actually tell Jace that I remembered what we did. We just kind of woke up naked that morning and just kind of ignored it all until Jon the big head blabbered in Jace's house to you then Jace confronted me and… well the rest you don't need to know." I reply.
"Though if you'd like you could just try to imagine it." Jace says with a wink in their direction.
"Dude!" They both exclaimed but Jon carried on. "She's my sister!" Jace and I were both now led on the couch laughing at their disgusted expressions. Just then someone knocks the door. I get up off Jace's lap and walk towards the door to answer it.
As I open the door and see who's at the door my laughter cuts off and I gasp.
"Clary?" Jace asks and is at my side with in seconds. He looks out the door as his jaw falls open. "Mom?" he questions after he picks his jaw up off the floor.
"Hello my handsome boy." She says and walks into the house pulling Jace into a hug. "And hello to my glowing daughter-in-law. How are you feeling?" She asks pulling me into the same hug because Jace won't let her go.
"I'm fine than you Celine." I smile as I hug them both.
"And how about my grand-baby how is he?" She places her hand on my barely there baby bump.
"Grand-babies." Jace whispers next to her.
"What? I didn't quite catch that honey." Jace pulls himself from his mom and wraps his arms around my waist.
"I said the correct question would be 'how about my grand-babies." He says with a huge smile on his face, his hand resting over my stomach.
"Grand… babies… as in more than one?" She replies her grin looking like it could split her face. Jace nods and pulls her into the living room to show her the scan photo. I follow behind after shutting the front door. I hear them speaking from the living room as I do.
"Oh hello Jonathan, Sebastian. Lovely to see you together. It's nice to see everyone happy. Oh Jace, is this them? They are beautiful! Oh I can't wait to meet them! How long do I have to wait to get grand-baby cuddles?" She's practically jumping up and down with excitement. I cut in before Jace can tell her that he doesn't know.
"I have 32 weeks left. Although my midwife did say before Jace and Mom came back in the door that more often than not twins are born early and with my small size, she may have to deliver them as early as 37 weeks. So that would mean only 29 weeks of waiting." I smile to her and she hugs me again. "Although between me and you she said that they may even want to come earlier and that sometimes they come between 34 and 36 weeks but she said they would be fine as long as around 33 to 34 weeks I started to slowly have steroid injections to help develop their lungs and important organs. But don't tell Jace, he'll panic." I whisper in her ear as she hugs me. She smiles and pulls back muttering 'mums the word' and smiles at me again.
She looks back down at the scan photo of my blobs and smiles. She reaches her hand to Jace who sat down on the sofa whilst we were having a cuddled. "My baby is all grown up and having his own babies! So I need details! When did you and Clary start dating? How did you ask her? Oh was it on a romantic date? Oh I'm so happy!" She says falling into place between Jace and me.
"Answer to your first question, we've been dating about a week. I asked her out after I found out about the pregnancy, after thanking God that they were mine. It wasn't really romantic and in all honesty mom I'm sorry to say that were in this situation right now because of a drunken night. If it wasn't for that night I would have asked Clary out and not told you about us dating until you came home. I spoke to Jocelyn today and decided that I needed to tell you about the baby, if she didn't mention it I'm sorry but I wouldn't have told you, again until you came home and I couldn't not tell you about it." Jace says looking sheepishly at his mother. Jon and Sebastian slowly raise from their seats and make their way to the stairs to avoid the awkward conversation that's about to happen.
"But, why Jace?" His mother asks tears in her eyes. Jace holds her hand close to his chest and sighs.
"Because mom I didn't think that you actually cared about what I do with my life that wasn't to do with my schooling. I couldn't talk to dad about anything other than him telling me that Harvard would be the best school for me because it's the best law school in the country. And you would only call to ask about school or if I needed any money sent for something. I felt like I was a burden in your life and that you didn't want me. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to see the look that dad had on your face as well." He says his head hung. I feel the tears streaming down my face at the pain that he's in. The worst kind, emotional pain. Pain that is hard to stop and heal.
"Oh Jace, oh sweetie. Never, I could never be disappointed in you. I know that you are a little young and that it isn't the ideal situation to be in, but I know that you and Clary are both very smart and talented young people. I know that you don't want to go to college and I know that you Clary only want to go for art. But neither of you need the college degree behind you. Clary your art is amazing now, you don't need some teacher telling you that the way you paint isn't the best way to do it because to you it is and that's your signature. And Jace I know that you want to work in Luke's books store and that you want to better yourself and slowly work your way up to be a manager or even open your own store, and I will be behind you 100%! Both of you. All four of you." She says smiling and holding my hand in hers as well as Jace's. We both smile at her, Jace looking lighter than he has all day. It seems a great weight has been lifted off his shoulders. I wish I could have helped him with that burden but all he needed was a chat with his mom and everything is sorted.
We sit on the sofa and chat some more until Jon comes down stairs talking about ordering food because mom said she'd be home late. I more than willingly agree and shout him my order. We smile and turn back to our conversations waiting for our food to be delivered.
