Hey, here I am again with a new chapter. Thanks to all those who reviewed so far, for following me and inspiring me to continue with this story.

Disclaimer! All these characters belong to the amazing Cassandra Clare.

Also, just for the purpose of this story, Izzy and Jace don't know each other. Yosh!

Now, onto the story!

Chapter 3

3 weeks later

Clary's POV

It's been 3 weeks since i found out i was pregnant. Izzy keeps bugging me to go to the hospital to get it checked out, but i refuse to believe this is happening. It can't be. Right? I know I'm being irresponsible, if my calculations are correct, I should be almost 2 months along. Being so petite, I'm surprised i haven't started showing yet. I guess I'm just a late bloomer. I hear a knock on my bedroom door. My head slowly lifts and tilts slightly to the right, looking at my door. Before i can try and muster a reply, Izzy is barging into my room like a

madwoman.

" Clarissa Adele Fairchild! (Yes, i actually prefer the name Fairchild ;p)"

All i hear is a loud, booming voice with meddled sounds- words? Maybe. My senses start to return, and the first thing I see, or rather, hear- in this case. Is what i think is Izzy giving me a lesson.

"- is a CHILD! You have to take better care of it. Not to mention yourself, you've barely eaten in the last couple weeks and- Clary! Are you even listening?!" she whines and yells at the same time. " yes, yes. I'm here. I'm listening." i mutter with the most amount of strength i can muster.

Izzy calms down and looks at me with a sad eyes, and a smile to match. I huff. I know i should be taking better care of me- us. I think she sees surender and a triumphant smile crosses her face, just to prove it. I sigh.

"Fine, alright Iz. I'll go to the hospital and get us checked out" I say in an almost whisper. I can see Izzy's eyes twinkling when I say 'us'. " Great! Do you want me there with you?" she asks softly. I think about it. "It's alright Iz. I don't want to bother you or be an inconvenience. It probably won't take long anyway. I'll be in and-" She cuts me off with her strong voice, matched with a glare "Clare." i gulp. Angry Izzy is something no one wants to witness, ever. Her eyes soften. "Clare, it's okay for you to want someone there. You don't have to act stong in front of me. I'll be there every step of the way."

She reads me so well. I feel tears threaten to spill as I walk towards her- her arms open, and waiting. I reach her and she engulfs me in a hug. Her warmth is extremely comforting. The same perfume she's worn for years- the one i use to hate, is now the smell i attached to home. Home. i smile.

"Thanks Iz"

Hey guys. So i know it's pretty short. Let me know if you'd like longer chapters. I realize that I'm taking my time with this story and slowly but surely developing it. Please be sure to let me know if you want Jace to come in soon, or if you'd rather I continue Clary's journey on being pregnant a bit more before we enter Jace? Anyway, since I have this story written until chapter 5, all i have to do is update them, but once i've posted all 5 chapters i won't b posting as often. It's currently close to midnight and i just got done with homework. I'll try to post once a week, but I've been pretty busy with adapting to my new school, and I've got a lot of work to catch up on. I don't want to make this longer than it already is so off I go! Hope you enjoyed. Look forward to the next chapter.

Xoxo,

Lou
