I won't get many opportunities to post new chapter in the next 4-5 weeks but be sure that when I get back, you'll have plenty of content to read on all my stories. Thank you for supporting me. Happy summer to those who have summer vacation.

Chapter 6
Jace POV
Damn, she's even more gorgeous than I remember. Wow Jace, cool it with the sap. I look at her, running around the bar, taking orders, making drinks. She hasn't seen me, not that I'm surprised, she seems quite busy. I'm starting to second guess my decision, Jace Herondale does not pine after chicks. But she's just so captivating, I just have this urge to get close to her, mentally and physically. She's like a magnet, I can't help but be attracted to her. Without realising it, I start to walk towards her at a slow pace. Then suddenly, there I am, at the bar where it all first happened. She still hasn't seen me but I'm content just watching her do her thing. God, what has happened to me, I barely know the girl! She finishes up her order and it feels like everything goes in slow motion.
She turns towards me and finally her head lifts and her eyes meet mine. I see her expression go from bright and cheery to complete horror and shock. Damn, I wasn't expecting it to be that bad. I chuckle nervously, " Surprised to see me, Red?"
Clary POV
I'm taking orders left and right but it feels nice being back. I haven't seen Blondie yet and I'm hoping it stays that way. Finally, happy hour is over and I can take a breather. I don't know much but all this stress and running around can't be good for the… fetus. Jeez, I'm so weak. I can't even say the word. I sigh, what do I do? Maia turns to me and says, " Hey Clary, go on and take a break, I've got it from here." I nod and spin the other way. However, what I see makes me what to throw up. He is right there, sitting at the edge of the bar. I feel all hope leave my body, and all that is left behind is dread. " Surprised to see me, Red?" He asks, and I thought I heard some nervousness in his voice, but that thought leaves my head. I find myself having trouble talking. My throat closing up and tightening to such a point that it hurts.
Jace POV
She snaps out of whatever daze she was just in but she still looks extremely uncomfortable. " I-I..uh," she struggles to find words which I find to be oddly endearing. She holds up her index finger. "G-give me one second." She turns her back to me and taps her co-worker on the shoulder. She turns and they speak words that I can't hear. I see her partner nod. She turns back to face me and gives me an uneasy smile. "Come with me?" she says, although it comes out very unsure. I just smile slightly and nod, motioning for her to lead the way. I can tell that there's something wrong with her but I don't ask out of discretion. She takes me to what looks like a storage room. I lift my eyebrow and smirk "Wanting more, Red?" I can tell by the look she gives me that it wasn't the right thing to say. I hear it before I feel it. The slap resonates through the room. Then, I feel it. I hold my hand up to my face which is contorted with pain. "Ow". She crosses her arms, a satisfied look on her face. It doesn't last long, however, and quickly falls from here complection to be replaced by a worried expression. "No, you ass, I didn't drag you back here for storage room sex" she gives me a stern look. And I can't help but get slightly turned on. She releases a long sigh and rubs her hand up and down her arms. I can't help but think that it's probably not for warmth. She opens her mouth but stays silent for a moment longer. "Look, there's a situation we need to talk about" she looks up at me sheepishly. Uh oh. I think I know where this is going, and I don't think I like it. "Blondie, I- I'm…" She says, her voice getting quieter and quieter. Ah shit! "I'm pregnant!" She somewhat yells. I repeat. Ah. Shit!
